Dugout Discussion – France vs Germany

Comes in out of no where and magically makes top of page comment 😉

Slovakia win would be my guess. Seen them saying they had lots of Griezemann and Albania had little or none this morning

Giroud imo

Le Donk

Giroud

Joan Burton for taoiseach in Ireland 😀 😀 😀

Will we ever see a sheep as prime minister?

Portugal captain is a woman

I actually think Trump will win 😮

What about the Dictator of Europe too !

If it ain't free, I ain't playing

It is free, I have an email confirming this 🙂

They just put 2 numbers in.

Lol no.

Maybe it's just a team made to achieve GW rank 1.

I think it'll be free simply because people will navigate to other free fantasy games instead

Or they could just be made up numbers?

Hi Dean,

Thanks for your email and interest in Ultimate Fantasy Premier League (UFPL).

We can confirm that the Ultimate game will not be running during the 2016/17 season. As part of a major overhaul of the Premier League’s digital properties, we’re focused on rebuilding and improving the free to play Fantasy Premier League game in advance of the new season. So while UFPL may return in the future, it will not be available this August.

Kind regards,
Ultimate Fantasy Premier League Support

Overall or in England?

The more people they attract the more they can charge in advertising on their site. I can't ever see them charging for this

What score would you expect with no cards for the 8 players & say 6 points for 3 French?

What have you got to lose?

You could play a 532 and stack your team with Portuguese defenders

Jammy but could win you it

Uh oh... what now 😕

Chelsea/Utd spend a fair amount too

Haven't started yet...?

C*ckblock

Without a doubt haha 21 pt lead. He better hope Ronaldo(c) comes up big for him if he pushes for a differential, and even then I get half of that.

I would, but how do I know who i picks? Im leading my ML by two pts!

Is it still possible to see your opponents team before the MD has started? I thought McDolan's fixed it.

Was Sterling worth 50m?

Easy answer. No.

maybe in next years pounds

I think he is worth more.

No but it's a crazy world

no

It's all relative.

36m for Martial is looking a bit if a bargain now. How people lolled at the time 🙂

Longevity & potential, etc. Don't think it's as clear cut as others make it out to be. He's been consistently been one of Juve's best players for a while now in Scudetto winning seasons. Had a rough early start last season with the injuries to March & Khedira - not to mention Pirlo & Vidal leaving - bit it picked it up in the second half & shined admirably when he had a good pairing in midfield. I remember him comfortably schooling the Juve midfield in the CL iirc. Not too bad at 23 y/o.

People judging him off a Euro tourney is a bit unfair tbh, where albeit not to Pogba's standards, he was still one of the most consistent midfielders in the tourney by far. His stats have improved consistently each season & hes getting better each year. It's the potential, you'll be getting one of the best midfielders in the world with the way he's developing. Remarkable athlete and a complete-midfielder in every sense

Also, did you get that Batsushi I posted in the end?

Markets dictate value, so yes he is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay.
23 years old, worldwide popularity, absurdly talented, wants to leave Italy, coveted by the worlds richest clubs, contracted until 2019.
These are the factors that let Juve basically name their price.

Very surprised utd are willing to pay that much for one player. Will be a great signing though

Didn't do much

Why not Ronaldo if you want a diff?
Didnt look too sharp but hard conditions...

bad

Off the boil. He was underperforming tonight, lost the ball often and failed getting past Kimmich. Poor FK and wasted a good goal attempt.

Had to work hard and was perhaps not as sharp as usual, did a good job though tracking back etc.

Looks off form at the moment. Never played these kind of games so it's understandable.

I just did

Ye.

Wasn't enjoying it and couldn't win so didn't see the point

You seem very surprised?

Did you see my earlier post? Thinking about a No London squad as they don't represent me or the people in my area. Worried about the weather though 🙂

Why?

Needs to get an assist/goal to be worthwhile if no cards. GK have save bonus etc.

depends on defender probably (maybe has more chances of an assist)... keeper still can get save points

i know, was thinking either Koc or Sagna instead of Lloris.

pretty much my team

Matuidi is a nothing player in Fantasy terms.

Maybe go with Evra

lol

Defo not making early transfers in FPL this year.

loooooooooooool

🙂

Triggerlips is in the Elite Realm 😉

France

Better wake before 4am.

Night bro

Have a good one Berbs

Night Berbs you Liverpool barsteward xx

Wait until lineups.

I think we need to remember that the game is set up to generate interest in the tournament and keep that interest going throughout the tournament. Whilst we'd like it to be set up for us addicts it really isn't it's purpose.

I very much feel bitter too. But still its more interesting as for instance in my ML there's a lot more people playing untill the end instead of giving up 1/2 in.

1 point is nothing. Make sure you can field a full XI and pick the keeper and the D-men from the side you fancy to win; Portugal don't have much to go for in the midfield except for Sanches as an enabler; the forward options are fairly straightforward as well. Ultimately it will be decided by the captaincy-decisions; in the semifinals, Guerreiro and Griezmann were where it was at. Who do you think will provide the magic required to win the championship?

Good luck.

Since you're not leading, I would go 4-4-3, with Iloris + 4xFrance at the back.
Griezmann (C), or a defender maybe.

Your assumption is spot on, good sir.

No, unlimited right up until deadline. You can make some now and another day and so on.

20M gets you Jordan Ibe with very little change these days

10m James Tomkins
15m Jordan Ibe

say no more

i was really expecting more from him in this euro

Crazy these days. Like money is nothing.

Yeah, it's either Guerreiro+Pogba or a French defender+Joao Mario for me. Other picks are locked in.

Lovely stuff, good man Cheeseo.

I'm 186 too..must be joint points. I was 65 at one point then it all went horribly wrong

370 pts

truth bro. could come in handy that.

It's usually 4 weeks > one calendar month before KO. That's the only thing we actually know.

General consensus is early next week after the Euros.

yes

Cheers lads

Plenty do.

When did he win the World Cup?

Worth 100M. 23 years old and THAT good?! I'm jealous at a Liverpool supporter.

Sterling/Ibe sold for around 65M together. David Luiz sold around 50M.

Penalty. Incorrect use of player evaluation in one tourney by the OP. Downvoted.

I can understand why some of us viewers are a bit unsure. He's a bit gangly at times and seems even a bit clumsy...but i bet he's damned hard work to play against.

An honest assessment Balders.. good man.. I don't for any second believe this is a done deal fwiw.. with Real Madrid lurking nothing is ever done..

Well said

He is at least twice the world-classness of Tony Martial so coming in at double the price, the deal doesn't seem awfully askew.

Yes...1-0, 0-1, 4-4, 0-0, 3-1...and many others...all entirely possible.

o/

I'll take a 2-1 Portugal 🙂

Not much from Portugal.

No not much. Renato and Guerriero means you can afford anybody in the match...but who ?

Ronaldo Greasyman plus Nani/Giroud are a given...but after that?
