£20k in prizes in Ultimate Fan’s free-to-enter EURO 2020 quarter-final


Sponsored by Ultimate Fan


Fancy adding some extra Fantasy thrills to the EURO 2020 knock-outs? New kids on the block Ultimate Fan are offering £20,000 in prizes with their free-to-enter EURO 2020 quarter-final game.

If you haven’t come across the game before, all you need to know is that Ultimate Fan combines Fantasy Football with the thrill of pack opening and this latest competition is FREE to enter.

Simply sign up today and you can claim a FREE pack with six cards to build your team.

How does Ultimate Fan work?

Ultimate Fan managers build their five-a-side teams using packs, scoring points for their players’ real-life performances and winning cash prizes.

The scoring system is a little different to Fantasy Premier League with points on offer not just for players but for teams.

Individual players will score 10 points for goal, regardless of their positional classification, four points for an assist and two points for shots on target.

As you can see from the scoring system above, only defenders can keep clean sheets, which they score three points for, while winning a tackle earns one point.

Ultimate Fan packs also come with team cards, allowing managers to go into the next round backing teams as well as players.

If the team you have backed wins their tie, you gain five points as well as one for every goal they score.

Managers can also apply mods to their teams. The Golden Boot doubles the points of your chosen player if they score a goal while the Captain scores double regardless of whether or not they find the net.

How do I build my team?

Once you have signed up and claimed your FREE starter pack, drag and drop your players into your team’s slots.

You have slots to field two defenders, two midfielders and one forward as well as choosing one team to back in the next round of action.

To build your squad, either subscribe Ultimate Fan+ Gold or Ultimate Fan+ Silver for more packs. Check out the details below to understand the differences between the two tiers of membership.

What are the prizes?

The next Ultimate Fan round is the quarter-finals of EURO 2020, which star on Friday, July 2.

The winner of this stage will receive £5,000, second place get £2,500 and everyone placed between ninth and one-hundredth receives £100.

Our quarter-final team

With Belgium one of the favourites for EURO 2020, having them in place for the rest of the tournament is a welcome boost for my team. The win over Portugal secured me 9 points in the Last 16.

However, this does mean that Leonardo Bonucci isn’t really an ideal player to have, but at least I’m covered one way or the other depending on the result.

Pau Torres on the other side feels like he may have more potential, if he can actually start a game that is. His two assists in the last two games is encouraging at least.

In attack, the Hazard brothers pins my hopes on a convincing Belgium win. Younger sibling Thorgan is outscoring his brother so far in the tournament, but Eden did at least show some encouraging signs in the last game.

With only one forward in my squad, I’ll have to pin some hopes on a high scoring game for the Ukraine against England.

    With 5 England players do you go:

    3 def & 2 attack
    Or
    2 def & 3 attack

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      2 def & 3 attack

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        but if you gave the names of your choices the question would be more optimal

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Sorry, so:

          A) Pickford, Maguire, Shaw, Sterling & Kane
          Or
          B) Pickford, Shaw, Sterling, Grealish & Kane

          Option B gives me Meunier and Grealish. Option A gives me Maguire and Insigne/Yarmo.

    2. CornerTakenQuicklyOrigi
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'd lean towards 3 def & 2 attack. The opposite for Spain.

  2. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    1. Digne + Fofana + VVD
    or
    2. Tierney + Holgate + TAA

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      2

  3. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Best option between

    A Sarabia or
    B F Torres

    1. CornerTakenQuicklyOrigi
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      You'll be able to see the line up. (If both are playing... Sarabia? Better stats and cheaper so gives more funds in the future)

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I currently have both on a WC Depending on line-ups of course.

  4. dark91
    • 8 Years

    Any updates on E.Hazard?
    Only seen news about Kdb missing the group training yesterday but no mention of Hazard!!

  5. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Damn! Made a mistake and 3 free transfers confirmed ( meant to wait until deadline to see Spain team- really do not remember hitting transfer button but clearly I must have done so !) So hello to Morata Kane and Sarabia. 11 starters but includes KDB who I cannot see starting and Berardi who I think probably comes off bench.

    Would you
    A Stick and hope if Belgium win KDB fit for semi
    B take -4 for KDB to Sterling
    C take - 4 for Dumfries to Maguire
    ( should mean have 11 players with KDB available for semi if fit and Belgium get to semi)
    D go both B and C -8 ( saves me transfer next week if England get through and have option from the bench this week)

    Donna
    Alba Maehle Spinazzola
    Sarabia KDB* Berardi Damsgaard
    Kane Morata Immobile

    No bench

  7. sirmorbach

    Sancho's price, any guess? 9.5 too optimistic I reckon?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      More likely 10

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I think 9.5 also- same as Rashford

  8. CoracAld2831
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    My current potential 3 hits (-12)team (not confirmed yet):

    Immobile-Morata
    F. Torres-Sarabia-Shaqiri-Insigne
    Spinazzola-Maehle-Maguire-Walker
    Donnarumma

    Bench:
    (Stekelenburg)-Kane-P. Torres-KDB

    Please share your thoughts.

  9. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    More and more I'm starting to wonder if starting the season with a City attacker is truly worth it (unless Kane signs)
    - massive rotation risk until we have more info in the season
    - even at the 'cheap' prices of Gundogan (7.5) and Foden (8.0), you can have the likes of
    > Grealish ( talisman)
    >Greenwood (will likely start in the United front 3 with Rashford out with surgery
    > Siggy/James (pens/fks, favorable opening fixture run, new manager bounce?)
    > Maddison/Barnes (main creative focal points)
    - note that Leeds' Jack Harrison is 'City's' highed scoring mid last season, simply due to his security of starts.

    1. 3 A
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Exactly. They are fools gold.

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        If, as is quite possible, KDB scores around 250, how is that fool's gold?

        1. 3 A
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          U can buy him from start. Its ok then..

    2. RAMZES666
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I have Mahrez as a punt instead of KDB. Looked good towards the tail end of the season.

    3. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      For a dead team, yes. Security of starts does play a major role ( confirmed with Harrison being the highest scorer over the season).
      But let's say we know that one of the city mids will most likely start 4 out of the first 5(Gundo last season when kdb was injured/ Foden at the end when he was almost nailed on). Their ceiling is much higher than a Madison/Barnes/Siggy is what I feel.

      1. 3 A
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yes, they can be explosive option but its better to have reliable starter and give points steadily.

        The case for Gundo, do we really buy him then wait for KDB injury? Lol. Not for me at this stage.

        Maybe if Grealish dont perform, Jota never nailed, Barnes out of the team, Siggy and James dont have form even good fixtures, and Gundo start firing, then I can buy him.

        Mahrez is pricey , Foden is not so nailed like Mahrez.

    4. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      KDB is nailed. He was injured for patches and bear in mind a lot of rotation was at tail end of season with league already won..

      1. 3 A
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        2019 he have ankle and back injury. Not much. Play 35 games, 2800 minutes.

        Buat lately, last season, got muscle and hamstring injury. Play only 25 games, 2001 minutes in FPL.

        He have another injury in UCL final. Euro? U all knows.

        Remind me of Sturridge,

  10. PORTUGA
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    A. Immobile or B. Seferovic ?
    This one’s tough

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Immobile

  11. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Which option would your prefer? (Assuming Sancho comes at 9.5m)

    A) Bruno Watkins DCL Digne (4.5 mid)

    B) Sancho Kane Sarr Coufal (4.5 fwd)

    Sanchez 4.5
    TAA Shaw ______ ,(Fofana Ayling)
    Salah ______, Raphinha Buendia ______
    Tony ______, ______

    1. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A…or what about; Coufal, Bruno, Sarr, Watkins, Iheanacho + 2nd keeper 4.0

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A for sure

    3. 3 A
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Bruno can become Sancho if he realy really really good.

      A.

  12. Esalman
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Have Barcelona already released Messi?

    1. gatzi
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He's not being released as such. Looks like he just hasn't secured a new deal with Barce yet. I guess it's up to him now. Others might give him a better deal but does he really want to leave?

  13. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I am a sucker for new players.

    Daka at 7.5 is very interesting.

    Will end up with sancho as well

    Anyone else risking these newbies from the start?

    1. SlipVertonghen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Sancho, sure - if he's priced at 9.5 or less. I think Daka is too much of a risk with 'Nacho and Vardy pretty much nailed on

    2. 3 A
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      U one the 'managers' who buy Werner after a big hype last season?

      Pepe also have been bought with big amount of money. Start from 9.5 and last season after a meh performance, (except last few games) he is 7.5 now.

      Play to predict the future if always some sort of gamble. Sometimes it pay off. Salah 9.5 is a good value.

      For me just wait n see first.

      1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I did buy Werner and sold him quick enough. Finished 10k so didn't hurt me too much.

        Interesting you bring up Salah cause I had him from week 1 in his first season and finished 3k so that was not a bad decision either.

        Daka is in incredible form over the last 2 seasons. Reminds me alot of Salah at Roma. Yes the Austrian league is not great and this raises question Mark's. But the value is in the price.

        You quote pepe and Werner who were 9.5 each when they came in. I think this comparison loses meaning because daka is 2 million under.

        Some of this game is gut. My gut tells me this guy starts and he produces enough to justify price tag and possibly more.

        Rodgers might be changing formation here.

        Would not be surprised to see nacho, vardy and daka start.

        But yes I also was sure Werner would be a hit. So what do I know

        1. 3 A
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Its about how correctly we predict the furure.

          If u think Daka and Sancho will comes good, then u can buy.

          But for me I'm not convinced with 9.5 price tag will have a good value . I will have Grealish first but at the same time I have another 2.0 mil ITB.

          If Sancho better than I tought, I can have him in just one transfer.

          Either upgrade Grealish or change Bruno.

          Daka is easier at that price point.

          Will moniter friendly matches before making big decision. Still have plenty of time tough.

        2. 3 A
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          I quote Pepe and Werner 9.5 because we estimate Sanco will come at the same price.

          Not about Daka. Case of Sancho is his price and how he will adapt.

          Case of Daka is he is young, Nacho is firing , and he comes from lower league. If he good enough, he can be Vardy replacement or like u said, maybe start together.

  14. sjhuk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    1) Sarr + Cavani
    2) Greenwood + Toney + 0.5

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      2

    2. 3 A
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      M.U fan? Both of them not guarantee 90 minutes. Sancho comes make it worse.

  15. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Which is better?

    A) Morata + Damsgaard
    B) Braithwaite + Ferran

    Assuming both start since we'll know the lineups.

    Thanks.

    1. Proedros78
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A. Morata (he can play even in extra time) - Damsgaard (he is substituted at 70th minute approximately)

  16. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Best England defender to get in??

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Southgate seems to like Trippier the most, but the CBs are safest.

      1. SlipVertonghen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Slabhead came close a few times. Due a goal I'd say. Full back rotation is a risk

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah I got in Maguire last week and am happy with him. Shaw would be my next in line - even with a back 4 I think he’s still in (and Trippier out).

    2. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Shaw

  17. The Wanton Trader
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    How’s this for my last 8 Wildcard? 24k OR…

    Pickford/Simon
    Stones/Spinna/Alba/Laporte/Mahle
    Raz/Grealish/Insigne/FTorres/Damsgard
    Kane/Morata/Dolberg

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I won’t lie not having a WC really doesnt bother me when i’m seeing these templates.

      As far WC’s go for the QF it looks good.

  18. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Those without WC don’t really need to worry IMO as long as you have 2/3 England Spain players you can cover the WC’s with a few other Italy and Czech/Denmark.

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'm not even using mine. Only way to stay different. If use wc my team will look dame as everyone else. If I save can go more punty in semis as only gotta call 1 match correctly then use 5ft in final

  19. fenixri
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    We will have lineup but lets assume all players mentioned below start.

    A) Sarabia + FTorres + Seferovic
    B) Shaqiri + Sarabia + Morata
    C) Sarabia + FTorres + Morata

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      B

      1. fenixri
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yes that is what I am leaning towards but Morata will be pain to watch

  20. Chazz69
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Donnarumma / Pickford
    Spinazzola / Meunier / Shaw / Maehle / Zinchenko
    Chiesa / Damsgaard / Olmo / Soucek / Sterling
    Immobile / Lukaku / Schick

    Any thought on my WC guys ?
    A bit of a gamble with Olmo but I think he could start.

  21. Rhinos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Purely in fantasy terms England are making the game a bit pants. Sterling and Kane the only attackers worth buying and most will be on Pickford Maguire or Shaw too. They should make the final too so are no brainers to buy regardless of chips left. Gonna be very hard to smash the template , I've got triple Denmark defence but even if they get a clean sheet it'll be a bit pointless unless Ukraine score. 4-1 England please

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Pickford Maguire Stones Trippier Grealish

      Seems diverse on your definition

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Trippier and Grealish probably won't start

  22. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 9 months ago

    Has there been any news on Yarmolenko's fitness ? The way he went down, then hit the ground in frustration before being subbed immediately against Sweden gave me the impression that he was an unlikely starter against England.

  23. Gabbar Singh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Why Benzema didnt get the assist points. Here is the answer from Uefa fantasy:

    Hi,
    Kindly note, blocked shots and deflections have to be closer to the goal line for them to be counted as an Assist. The shot by Benzema was blocked at the edge of the box and landed at the feet of Pogba, way outside the box.

    As such, the Official UEFA game scorers have deemed the deflection inconsequential and do not consider this an assist. Therefore, we cannot award points for the same.

    Regards,

    Your UEFA.com team

    my team, 278 points but with 8 players returning him.
    i would spend 20 points at transfers. No wildcard

    1. Proedros78
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      8 players returning home.
      Every lineup should have 5 England players at the UEFA game.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        3 FT's and one hit will give you a starting 11. I wouldn't take any more hit than that.

  25. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Price dependent, I could be tempted to go for Sancho and Cavani instead of Bruno in FPL. Shaw is likely in regardless.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      The way I see it - Martial Rashford, Sancho, Greenwood & Cavani, even Diallo will all rotate and eat into each other’s minutes depending on form and opposition

      Whereas you would expect Bruno will start every game and also start from a baseline of a penalty every 3-4 games, along with all the assists, for whichever 3 are playing in front of him, a goal from play here & there plus the odd DFK…

      Bruno looks pricey, but if Kane doesn’t go to Man City he’s the best way to invest 12.0 early on imo

    2. Flair
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I think, if you want double Utd attack due to the fixture, you go with Bruno + Sancho and build the rest of the team from there. Don't think Bruno can be covered by other Utd assets at all.

      1. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Not think Leeds are being underrated? Much tighter end of season.

        1. Flair
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Think those cleans were fortunate.

  26. Proedros78
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    i am thinking about this BITM2007, you might be right.
    4 points are a lot to spend but i am thinking that if i have 13 players + 1 goalkeeper, with 5 England players i would create a good team that a lot of those players would be participating at the Semifinals as well.
    I am in a league with friends that the winners takes all the money.
    I am first of course and all the players that have a wildcard are more than 20 points behind me.
    Look at the picture https://prnt.sc/17sv5wh
    the second at the table has, the same problem as me, 9 players eliminated.
    it is a hard desicion

      I can only see your score in the link in the original post. How many England do you have at the moment ?

    none English, 3 Italy - Immmobile, Insigne, Spinazzola, 2 Denmark - Sfygen Larsen, Maehle and 1 Spain - Sarabia.
    I need 5 transfers (3 free + 2 with -4 point deduction) all would be English players. That would be 11 players. i would be at 270 points after those 5 tranfers.
    I have 278 points at the moment, the first guy with a wildcard has 255.
    Even if i lose 20 points - making another 3 transfers, total 8, i would create a team with 13 players + 1 goalkeeper. My points would be 258 points, 3 points ahead of the guy with the wild card.

      If your 100% confident that England will progress the 5 transfers are worth a go. I'm 70/30 on that one, I've been watching England muck up favourable draws since 1988. It would give you 12, who would be your other two in the 13 players + 1 goalkeeper option ?

        i think that England would progress. i am thinking
        Pickford - Stones - Maguire - Sterling - Kane.
        I am trying to find possible lineups to see if Walker - Trippier Shaw would play.

          i think England would conquer the trophy, to correct my phrase.

    Players from our fantasy teams score points at extra time as well at UEFA.
    I can't have a team with only 2 Forwards - Immobile, Kane.
    Switzerland - Spain might have a lot of goals. I can't have only Sarabia.
    I think i need players (Ferran Torres - Morata) from Spain or Seferovic.

    Do we think premiership players involved in the latter stages of the Euros will miss the first games of the new season?

      yeah definitely, especially if say England get to the final or win it as then there will only be 4 weeks between then and the start of the season, the players need at least 3 maybe 4 weeks off then they need to get back up to speed so i can see some missing the first couple of games at least,

      same applies to Copa America players, i had Cavani in my FPL team but took him out as he's in the 1/4 finals this weekend and he's old and will probably need longer to recover
