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.

  6. YoungPretender
    10 years, 4 months ago

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

    1. Syd.
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Michael McGovern

      1. YoungPretender
        10 years, 4 months ago

  7. Lone Wolf FPL
    10 years, 4 months ago

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

    1. VS10_
      10 years, 4 months ago

    2. KING_ZLATAN
      10 years, 4 months ago

      It's not Alaba who took it ..

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        10 years, 4 months ago

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

    3. Epic Fail
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Yet.

    4. BB-8
      10 years, 4 months ago

      This. Why?

    5. Davidinho
      10 years, 4 months ago

    6. ed24
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Hoping that appears soon too!

    7. McQueen
      10 years, 4 months ago

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

      1. Knowledgeable meerkat
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Yup

  8. Syd.
    10 years, 4 months ago

  9. KING_ZLATAN
    10 years, 4 months ago

    1. JØ
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Wait what. It was Ronaldo's assist.

      12M > 7.5M > GOAL

      1. KING_ZLATAN
        10 years, 4 months ago

        4points > 3points

    2. Ayew Serious
      10 years, 4 months ago

      In maths I learned that 12>7.5

      Don't lie

  10. Davidinho
    10 years, 4 months ago

  11. Meinhoff
    10 years, 4 months ago

  12. Holding Mee Bong
    10 years, 4 months 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
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Thank you!

  18. Debauchy
    10 years, 4 months ago

    1. George Sillett
      10 years, 4 months ago

      1. Debauchy

  19. TheBusDriver
    10 years, 4 months ago

    F**K you Ronaldo you useless sheet!

    1. Syd.
      10 years, 4 months ago

      He would do it himself if he could

      1. Debauchy
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Sure he has

      2. Epic Fail
        10 years, 4 months ago

        He can afford rib removal.

        1. Syd.
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Then he would collapse as he has no spine

    2. Debauchy
      10 years, 4 months ago

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

    1. Ayew Serious
      10 years, 4 months ago

      That's an absolutely outrageous statement.

      William Carvalho is not terrible

    2. George Sillett
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Poor spelling.

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Looser.

        1. George Sillett
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I can spell me.

        2. Debauchy
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Failure..

        3. Syd.
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Winer

          1. Camp No No
            10 years, 4 months ago

            *Whiner.

    3. Jay_
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I always preferred King Harold

    4. Syd.
      10 years, 4 months ago

      William Carvalho is a great player

  22. WE GO FOR IT
    10 years, 4 months 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
      10 years, 4 months ago

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

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        10 years, 4 months 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
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Port

          1. Camp No No
            10 years, 4 months ago

            So, Portugal would then win the group?

            We need Iceland to win by 2.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              10 years, 4 months ago

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

        2. Camp No No
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I'm interested to hear this too.

      2. Camp No No
        10 years, 4 months 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
          10 years, 4 months ago

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

          1. Camp No No
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Yes, but how about that second question?

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Look below.

        2. WE GO FOR IT
          10 years, 4 months ago

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

          1. Camp No No
            10 years, 4 months ago

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

            1. WE GO FOR IT
              10 years, 4 months 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
          10 years, 4 months ago

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

          1. Camp No No
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Is that really already established.

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

  23. Dušan Citizen
    10 years, 4 months ago

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

  24. Syd.
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Austria should be good as they are a region of Germany

  25. Debauchy
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Looks like us slack non WCs could benefit going forward ?

    1. JØ
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Indeed! 🙂

    2. Grand Thibauto
      10 years, 4 months ago

      No WC has been a huge success.

    3. Eden Hazardous
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I have gained close to 20 points by WCing this week , so I am pretty happy about my WC

    4. Coaly
      10 years, 4 months ago

    1. Debauchy
      10 years, 4 months ago

      1. @ocprodigy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Frustrating when I have Ronaldo though.

        1. Debauchy
          10 years, 4 months ago

          oops. but if no subs made he comes in for a non player. If you have 1

    1. JØ

      Hat-trick of missed free kicks.

    2. Debauchy
      10 years, 4 months ago

  28. George Sillett
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Roy Keane is a complete fruit cake.

    1. Hooky
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Get some money on Ireland getting a few cards later!

      1. George Sillett
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I have already burned 20 % of last season's betting profit on the Euros so whilst it is very tempting .....................

    2. Scoring freely
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I bet he has people buried in his back yard. Has anyone seen Alf-Inge Håland lately?

    3. Epic Fail
      10 years, 4 months ago

      He will find you and he will kill you.

  29. Coaly
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Please no Siggy points, forgot to confirm the sub to put him in 🙁

  30. Eden Hazardous
    10 years, 4 months ago
