Wednesday evening treats Fantasy managers to four more Euro 2016 fixtures before the curtain comes down on the group stages.

First up at 5pm, all four teams in Group F have a chance of progressing to the final 16.

With a single goal from 49 attempts, profligate Portugal have done little to justify their place as pre-tournament favourites to top the group but know that a win against Hungary will be enough to earn them at least a runners-up spot.

Iceland and Austria do battle in the other fixture. Like Portugal, the latter arrived as one of the dark horses for the tournament but have been a major disappointment and failed to score in their opening two fixtures, managing just four efforts on target. Iceland, meanwhile, have registered just 12 attempts on goal thus far – a tally superior only to Sweden’s 11.

Given that the second-placed team in Group F will face England in the next round, the Three Lions will be keeping a keen eye on the results here.

Indeed, considering that the Group F winners square up the runners-up in Group E – which look likely to be Belgium – topping the table could prove a less appealing route into the knockout stages.

    10 years, 1 month ago

    The standard of goalkeeping in this tournament so far has been horrific.

    1. Syd.

      Michael McGovern

      1. YoungPretender

  7. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    ronaldo got 2 for earn a pen and -2 for miss and alaba didn't get anything. why?

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He'll get it later.

    2. KING_ZLATAN
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It's not Alaba who took it ..

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Isn't it irrelevant though who takes it when the points are for "penalty earned"?

    3. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yet.

    4. BB-8
      • 10 Years

      This. Why?

    5. Davidinho
      • 10 Years

    6. ed24
      • 12 Years

    7. McQueen
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      They add points for earning a penalty after the match. Was Alaba who earned it?

      1. Knowledgeable meerkat
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yup

  8. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Nani is on fire

  9. KING_ZLATAN
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    YES NANI !! 7.5m > 12m

      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wait what. It was Ronaldo's assist.

      12M > 7.5M > GOAL

      1. KING_ZLATAN
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        4points > 3points

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      In maths I learned that 12>7.5

      Don't lie

  10. Davidinho
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ronaldooooooo here we go

  11. Meinhoff
    • 14 Years

    RONALDO ASSIST COME ON

  12. Holding Mee Bong
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Points for winning the pen gets added after the game, that's what happened with Ronaldo anyway when I had a nice 4 point surprise instead of zero

    1. RoyaleBlue

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He would do it himself if he could

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sure he has

      2. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He can afford rib removal.

        1. Syd.
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Then he would collapse as he has no spine

      • 13 Years

    William Carvalho is terrible, taking waay too much time and loosing balls

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That's an absolutely outrageous statement.

      William Carvalho is not terrible

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Poor spelling.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Looser.

        1. George Sillett

    3. Jay_

      I always preferred King Harold

    4. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      William Carvalho is a great player

  22. WE GO FOR IT
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    As things stand, #ALB are out and CRO will face POR in Round of 16.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yep, Port 2-1 and Ice 1-0 won mean Port vs 2nd in Group E.

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Won't that leave both Iceland and Portugal on 5 points, 3 scored and 2 conceded. Who has the better disciplinary record?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Port

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            So, Portugal would then win the group?

            We need Iceland to win by 2.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 17 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Yep, Iceland need same score/more goals or bigger winning margin.

        2. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I'm interested to hear this too.

      2. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        And against England!

        But as things stand, is it sure that Portugal would play Croatia and not Germany? Seems to me that either is possible, but I'm not sure how it is determined which 3rd placed of the given three options each A-D group winner confronts.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Portugal would only play England if 2-1 Port and a 2 goal diff win to Iceland.

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Yes, but how about that second question?

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 17 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Look below.

        2. WE GO FOR IT
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Germany vs Albania/Slovakia according to permutations by UEFA. Since Albania will be out, they will face Slovakia.

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Germany vs. 3rd placed team of A, B or F according to UEFA.

            1. WE GO FOR IT
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              If Third place teams from Groups B,C,D,F qualify, A vs C, B vs D, C vs B and D vs F.

        3. Konig Luther
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          1st place vs 2nd place group E
          2nd place vs England
          3rd place (if qualified) vs Croatia

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Is that really already established.

            Darn, I have to do this myself with all the permutations possible.

  23. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Cmon Rui, save one more to get 1 save point.

  24. Syd.
    • 17 Years

    Austria should be good as they are a region of Germany
