It’s finally here! EURO 2020 is underway, your Fantasy teams have been finalised and you’re most likely sitting back to watch Italy v Turkey.

And by now you’re already lamenting picking that bargain-bin North Macedonia defender or ruing your decision to overlook Cristiano Ronaldo.

While the tournament-long Fantasy games are already up and running, FanTeam have their weekly €100k Monster event to look forward to this weekend.

That’s right – there is a cool €100,000 in the prize pot, with €20k going to the winner and cash prizes awarded down to 1,150th place.

All six EURO 2020 fixtures taking place on Saturday and Sunday are covered by this event, including England v Croatia.

HOW TO PLAY: A BRIEF GUIDE

Slightly different from the usual squad-based games, FanTeam managers are given a budget of €103m to build a team of 11 players that includes at least one goalkeeper, three defenders, two midfielders and one forward.

A maximum of three players are allowed from one country and captains score double points, as usual.

Here are some other minor differences to the otherwise easy-to-play game:

  • There is no bench or manual substitutes; instead, there is a ‘Safety Net’ feature. If a player in your Fantasy team isn’t in the starting XI for their side, they will automatically be substituted for the next priced player from the same position and country.
  • A ‘Stacking Penalty’ is given if you have two or more defensive players from the same nation and they keep a clean sheet. One point is deducted for each additional asset that you select from the same side.

HOW DOES THE SCORING WORK?

FPL managers looking for a way to make their knowledge pay will have no trouble picking up FanTeam‘s EURO 2020 Monster, with its familiar scoring system.

Think of it as FPL without the bonus points, with a few other exceptions – detailed in the graphic above.

    Had 2 Italy and scored 22 points. Quite happy with that. Insigne cap, so I'll leave that on him I reckon.

  2. Salarrivederci
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    Spinazzola, Berardi & Insigne (C)
    Perfect start

        Nice!
        Hope the 1,5 mil helps me outscore the 1-2 points you got on me

    When is the deadline for switching captain please ??

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      First game kick-off tomorrow. Depends on timezone, but I believe it's 14:00 in UK

  4. Bonus magnet
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    Insigne captain or change to

    Lukaku
    Braithwaite

    1. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      I'm sticking with Insigne.

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Depends on the rest of your potential captains

      1. Eze Really?
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        8 points as captain? more likely to hurt than help by changing caps

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          Disagree.. You stand to lose a relatively small amount, let's say 0-4 points, by changing.

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            I guess I should say 0-6. But the chances of you completely missing a return are less than half, I'd say.

            And to repeat my point fromt he previous page:

            Assuming 60+ mins and no negative points:

            Eriksen: G + A = 10 or 11pts
            Depay: G + A = 9 or 10pts
            Lewan: G + A = 9 or 10pts
            Cancelo: G + CS = 12 or 13 (or A + CS would be 9pts)

            And of course one of them might get more that that.

            For me, I'm not going to stick on 8pts from Insigne. 9, also probably wouldn't, but it's close. In general, I'm leaning a little bit more towards riskiness than saftety in such a short tournament format too.

              You trying to convince us or yourself Deulo ? 😉

              1. Deulofail
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 3 days ago

                Oh I'm convinced! I would have changed already if I could. Just challenging the community to change my mind

            2. svgcr
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              G + A is easier said than done in a tournament.

              Even then you’ll be risking 12 points (6 x 2) if the player blanks with 2pts, for a chance to win an extra 4pts?

              Lukaku and Ronaldo might be the headaches here. Currently only on Lukaku.

              1. Deulofail
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 3 days ago

                Not sure where you're getting the 12 points from?

                1. svgcr
                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 3 days ago

                  6*** my bad

                  1. Deulofail
                    • 10 Years
                    5 years, 3 days ago

                    I think the likelihood of me losing 6 points is pretty small. If I get 2 points from my next captain, I'll move the captaincy on. If Eriksen gets 8+ tomorrow, I'll probably stick. But the 0-6 that I'm spending here is not just to get 4. If it were, then it seems like an okay trade anyway, since I think I'm a bit more likely to gain than lose. But a player can also score a hattrick, even though unlikely.

                    It seems people's logic is reversed in this format. I'm normally the one arguing against people during FPL when they are talking about high captaincy potential (and "upside" and "ceilings") haha

              2. artvandelay316
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 3 days ago

                I agree. Given the matches they have, I don't think it's that likely anyone exceeds a goal and an assist. Yes, it can happen, but I'd rather know I've banked a decent amount of points.

  5. Rassi
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    My private leagues are gone. Anyone else with this problem?

    1. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Three dots, top right side of app. Select "Leagues".

      1. Rassi
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Nope

        1. artvandelay316
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          I could get to mine that way, but now they are gone there too. It's because the system is updating. Just need to wait.

          1. Rassi
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            Yeah, I think so too.

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Mine too.

    3. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Yes. Vanished.

      1. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Says not joined any private League and when I try to join it says I'm already joined.

    4. martyhan
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Same here with my private leagues. All gone

      1. paul1964
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Yeah, I freaked out too but they are back for me now.It's because of the update but that shouldn't really happen.

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Yep mine gone too.

      Not sure if the private leagues had updated properly before the deadline. I changed my team name before kick off and my son did a transfer, but in the private league view neither had changed, despite them both showing as changed when looking at out own teams.

  6. MrZ
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    Cakir on 3 points
    Stick or swap to Bahnmann?

    1. Rassi
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Easy swap.

    2. Rassi
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      But wait till Sunday for possible injury news etc.

  7. Dr. Rog
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    8 is like 15 in blackjack, and the dealers face up card is a 10.
    twist i reckon, but its marginal.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Yeah I’m still undecided. I kinda had in my head that 2x returns would be a stick so 9 points and up. 8 is that very difficult number.

  8. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    Is it correct that any captain change from Berardi to Lukaku can be done anytime up to 2 pm tomorrow when Wales v Switzerland kicks off?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      correct

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Thanks

  9. People in Preston

    5 years, 3 days ago

    Anyone notice that on the opening match of Euro 2020 we don't get a Turkey v Italy pregame preview article with confirmed teams etc like in FPL?

    Instead we get "€100k prize pool in FanTeam’s EURO 2020 weekend Monster game".

    Says it all about what this site has become.

    1. Tomerick
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Yep. I miss when it was just about the game but as life imitates art, so too must FPL imitate football.

  10. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    Insigne stick or twist?

    Options left:
    Lukaku/Eriksen
    Depay
    Torres
    CR7

    1. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      I could have put money on that question coming up

      1. People in Preston
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Suggest it to the admin and they'll get the question sponsored by another gambling firm.

    2. Party time
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Twist lol

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      I have Immobile (c), Spinazzola and Insigne in FanTeam 😀 Tied 7th in the world. Not a bad start!

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Wow, well done. The 100k is yours 😉

    4. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Damn it. After Italy looking so good, my worry now is that Poland will look trash and Spain will look great also. Then I’ll be hesitant on using LL next MD as I already have 3Spain and Italy.

    5. Party time
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Eriksen(C) for tomorrow. Nice 2 goals & an assist will do

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          I think people are getting waaaay to excited about Denmark. Finland must be absolutely disgracefully bad for people to be assuming double defence and Eriksen are going to go wild.

          1. Party time
              5 years, 3 days ago

              Game is at Copenhagen & Eriksen is Denmark’s Bruno Fernandes based on stats. Eye test tomorrow for me tho.

              Should be Denmark 4-0 Finland if I must pick a scoreline...think Finland will get spanked tbh

            • People in Preston
              • 15 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              People assumed Turkey would keep it to 0-0 tonight.

              1. Paqueta Rice
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 3 days ago

                My point exactly

            • Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              How about double attack? Legit?

            • Johnny Drama
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              This

          2. GreennRed
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            I have him and Lukaku. Captaining Bale. Sure fk it 🙂

        2. Chilli Heatwave
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          So, who are you capping tomorrow? Lukaku or Eriksen?

          1. jayzico
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            Got to be Lukaku

          2. bitm2007
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            Got both going Kaku.

            1. People in Preston
              • 15 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              Same.

          3. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            Erik or Poulsen. Don't own Lukaku.

          4. Party time
              5 years, 3 days ago

              Eriksen

            • RogDog_jimmy
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              Eriksen for me. If they both score and win with a cleany then Eriksen gets 8 and Lukaku 6. Even an Eriksen assist would match a Lukaku goal.
              Makes a difference.
              Not banking on 2 returns for anyone.

            • fenixri
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              Eriksen.

          5. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            First LL2 attempt

            Kane Depay Mbappe
            KDB Edin Bale Insigne Grealish
            Spinazzola Chiellini Zinchenko Alba Pavard
            Courtois Lloris

            Will compare to actual team when the time comes.

            Do you have any general thoughts about how to approach the LL chip in MD2? Or specific thoughts? Just talk to me.

              Can't pan anything really until we see the form teams combined with best fixtures

                • 7 Years

                Plan...

              2. Deulofail
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 3 days ago

                Let's see how it plans out

              3. Dr. Rog
                • 16 Years
                5 years, 3 days ago

                I think you can, and its worth doing so.

                If anything not to be too influenced by chasing last weeks points. Chips are about playing the fixtures ultimately.

            2. Dr. Rog
              • 16 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              think Belgium will flop against Russia and change your assessment.

              Yarmalenko is the first midfielder on my team sheet.
              Dzyuba will be challenging those 3 for the fwd spots - as it stands is 4th choice for me though.

            3. Dr. Rog
              • 16 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              Limitless is pretty cool. Maybe they should do it in FPL.
              Its would emphasise the word fantasy in football.

            4. caldracula
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              Immobile Kane Mbappe
              Insigne Torres Olmo Lorrente Mount
              Spina Pavard Varane Zinchenko

          6. jayzico
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            22 points from 2 players. Nice.

            1. Chilli Heatwave
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              Including cap?

              1. Deulofail
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 3 days ago

                Considering that no player scored more than 9 points, I'd say it's likely 😀

                1. Chilli Heatwave
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 3 days ago

                  xD cheers for that.

            2. jayzico
              • 15 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              Yeah.Insigne. Plus a Berardi assist. I'm twisting tomorrow though def.

              Will get Spinazolli for my Limitless thing. What a game he had

              1. Chilli Heatwave
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 3 days ago

                He looked class, so attacking. Definitely in my LL too

          7. caldracula
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            33 from 3 and 6 players tomorrow, loving it already.

              Insigne 8 (C), have to twist, especially with Ronaldo on the bench, the ultimate insurance

                  5 years, 3 days ago

                  Absolutely. Ronaldo is definitely the ultimate insurance

                  I am tempted to twist, assuming you also have other chances before Ronaldo too.

                Insigne looked class. Would love to see him in the prem.
                Baradi reminded me of Lallana for some reason.

                  Insigne was invisible first half, great second half.

                    5 years, 3 days ago

                    he was making good runs in the first half too. was definetly the spark

                  Yeah not impressed with Barardi at all, will be transferring out in MD3 for sure.

                Insigne Cpt, so like a lot looking into whether to twist.

                Lukaku, Depay, FTorres, Ronaldo to come, surely twist?

                  what do we think a great score is?

                  in my head everyone not blanking would be an excellent benchmark.
                  so 6*12=72.

                    To confirm (before I actually try it), can I take the armband off someone and still keep the guy in play?

                    1. Party time

                        Yes but you can’t give him the armband again

                          i love this dimension to the game. fascinating

                              Yeah, same here. it makes it harder for casuals unlike fpl

                                The difficulty increases by 0.00001% but it rewards people who are more obsessive, log in at the right times, and to some extent, are in the right time zones. Less about skill, more about comitment. But I do like it. It's fun for tournament football, but I wouldn't like to see it in FPL.

                                    True but I want manual sub in fpl even if captain rule doesn’t change... In fact I want all of it in fpl 😆

                            How do you actually do this in the app?

                              Good question. It's not allowing me to change anything yet.

                                Glad it’s not just me being an idiot then.

                                I assume you have to wait for it to update ("calculate" the points)

                              After update click on player you want to change captain to annd select captain option and update. If you've a plan to swap armband on Sunday but you've any player tomorrow it's no harm to captain tomorrow's player in the meantime. Probably a low chance of a return tomorrow but you'd be sickened if he got an assist and a jammy goal. Can recaptain then on Sunday.

                          Assume can change captains to luku tomorrow as long as before first game starts ?

                          Wow.. I took out Insigne last min for Bruno and switched C to Berardi.. thought 3 Italy player(Spinna, Berardi and Insigne) was too much. Guess it wasn't too much.

                            i would advise to try not to think like this. you made a decision based on the information you had at the time and there is nothing you can do about it now. also bruno may score even bigger...

                            its likely you had every main candidate in your draft at some point.

                            Early days. You can switch the armband tomorrow.

                          Spinazzola cap. Tempted to twist...

                          Have Lukaku, Depay, F.Torres, Ronaldo following days.

                          Should I stick or twist?

                            My rule is 2 returns enough for stick

                              But you have Ronaldo, so maybe twist for fun?

                                Yeah maybe, will sleep on it 🙂

                                  Stick. All you'll potentially lose by not captaining Ronaldo is the difference between Spinazzola's points and Ronaldo's.

                                    With Greennred, stick. Selected Spinazzola, captained Insigne & I'm sticking, with Mertens, Depay, F.Torres & Gosens yet to play.

                          We can sub players in off our bench before tomorrow’s games right?

                            Yes. Before the first game kicks off.

                            Sub them in only if they play tomorrow though.

                            Nuno to be the next Everton boss. How uninspiring is that. Typical Moshiri appointment. Exactly what we don’t need with the current squad.

                                Carassaco good pick right ? Just spotted messed up and he is on my bench so going to have to sub on tomorrow for Alaba (should have been other way around with Alaba on bench)

                                  You're aware that means you have to do all subbing manually once you tinker once ?

                                    Yes thanks planning on bringing other subs on like Ronny if other players blank
