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.

  5. Grand Thibauto

  6. YoungPretender

    9 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      Michael McGovern

      1. YoungPretender
        • 11 Years

        Haha, I did mean generally speaking

  7. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He'll get it later.

    2. KING_ZLATAN
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It's not Alaba who took it ..

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yet.

    4. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      This. Why?

    5. Davidinho
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      This!!

    6. ed24
      • 11 Years

      Hoping that appears soon too!

    7. McQueen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. Knowledgeable meerkat
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yup

  8. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Nani is on fire

  9. KING_ZLATAN
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    YES NANI !! 7.5m > 12m

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Wait what. It was Ronaldo's assist.

      12M > 7.5M > GOAL

      1. KING_ZLATAN
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        4points > 3points

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      In maths I learned that 12>7.5

      Don't lie

  10. Davidinho
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Ronaldooooooo here we go

  11. Meinhoff
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    RONALDO ASSIST COME ON

  12. Holding Mee Bong
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 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
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Thank you!

    2. ed24

    • Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A Ronaldo buzz , need another missed penalty

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Red would be better

        1. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

    • TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years

      F**K you Ronaldo you useless sheet!

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He would do it himself if he could

        1. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Sure he has

        2. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          He can afford rib removal.

          1. Syd.
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Then he would collapse as he has no spine

      2. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        And , watch the road please

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        That's an absolutely outrageous statement.

        William Carvalho is not terrible

      2. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Poor spelling.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Looser.

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I can spell me.

          2. Debauchy
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Failure..

            Winer

              *Whiner.

      3. Jay_
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I always preferred King Harold

        • Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          William Carvalho is a great player

      4. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 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
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 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
            9 years, 8 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
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Port

              1. Camp No No
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 8 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
                  • 16 Years
                  9 years, 8 months ago

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

            2. Camp No No
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              I'm interested to hear this too.

          2. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 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
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

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

              1. Camp No No
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Yes, but how about that second question?

                1. TorresMagic™
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 16 Years
                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  Look below.

            2. WE GO FOR IT
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months 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
                9 years, 8 months ago

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

                1. WE GO FOR IT
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 8 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
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

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

              1. Camp No No
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Is that really already established.

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

      5. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

      6. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Austria should be good as they are a region of Germany

      7. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Looks like us slack non WCs could benefit going forward ?

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Indeed! 🙂

        1. Grand Thibauto
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          No WC has been a huge success.

        2. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

        3. Coaly
          • 13 Years

            • 12 Years

            Frustrating when I have Ronaldo though.

            1. Debauchy
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

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