In the latest of our articles from our team of contributors, Zophar – who has eight top 10k FPL finishes to his name – discusses his Euro 2024 Fantasy team.

He also talks chip strategy and captaincy ahead of Friday’s Matchday 1 deadline.

SIGN UP HERE FOR ALL THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO WIN AT FPL!


The start of the European Championship is only a few days away now and after a nice break after the conclusion of the Premier League, I am really looking forward to having live, competitive football on my TV screen again.

The timing of the matches is quite convenient for those of us living in India, with all three games kicking off after work hours. I’m looking forward to playing tournament Fantasy Football for the first time since 2010. 

Chip Strategy Initial thoughts

The popular strategy going around is to play a chip in Matchdays 2 and 3. Many of the popular teams have a tough game in Matchday 2, while Matchday 3 might bring rotation with certain nations already qualified.

We get unlimited transfers the week after, so there is an opportunity here to essentially select four different teams for every matchday – which seems quite fun. I think the big gains will be in the early rounds with mismatches, rather than in the knockout stage, so this strategy makes sense.

My FPL Wire podcast cohost Pras has suggested an alternative strategy. Here, you don’t play a chip in Matchday 2 and save one for the quarter-finals in case there are any upsets in the last 16. That way, you can use the unlimited transfers in the round of 16 like a Free Hit, similar to how you would in the earlier strategy in Matchday 2.

I think this is quite viable, as well, so I am trying to be flexible and go back to the old FPL mantra of picking ‘good players from good teams’ who I would be comfortable fielding in Matchday 2. I think I would still be picking the likes of Kylian Mbappe (€11.0m), Harry Kane (€11.0m), Romelu Lukaku (€9.0m) etc anyway so I do see merit in Pras’s point. 

There will be more discussion on this on the FPL Wire with my co-hosts Lateriser and Pras so I am open to being convinced on both. 

Team selection

Best €4.5m-€6.0m defenders for Euro 2024 Fantasy 7

Defenders

I’m quite conflicted with how to set up my defence. There are so many cheap, good options available like Marc Guehi (€4.5m), Jonathan Tah (€4.5m), Maximilian Middlestadt (€4.0m) and Wout Faes (€4.0m) that you could conceivably make with a great defence with a max spend of €5.0m, alongside Federico Dimarco (€5.0m). But then the likes of Joao Cancelo (€6.0m), Theo Hernandez (€5.5m), Joakim Maehle (€5.5m) and Denzel Dumfries (€5.5m) are capable of huge hauls with their attacking potential, and they arguably offer much more than the €5.5m-€6.0m midfielders. I’ve tried to achieve a balance with Cancelo, Hernandez, Dimarco, Mittelstadt and Faes but downgrading one or two of them could allow me to spend more in midfield. 

Midfielders

Thanks for reading!

We will be discussing Groups D, E and F, chip strategy, captaincy and thoughts so far on the friendlies on the June 13 edition of The FPL Wire.

We have already covered Groups A, B and C in an earlier episode, which you can check out here.

        Only issue is their game being the only one on Friday, so you reduce your number of captaincy options if you go without. But realistically I'm expecting to twist from Wirtz 99% of the time tbf

    Are there any 4.5m Euro Fantasy mids that are viable alternatives to save 0.5m on Jorginho? I don’t think he gets pens and probably not too many ball recoveries either

      I don't know who De Cuyper is but I trust you do! Can guess his nationality anyway. Güler looks a fun pick & I had him in for a while but the Turkey preview here & their friendlies haven't done much to convince me that he starts, so I think he might be a bit too risky for the final day (when you can't sub him out if he cameos). Rest looks GTG

        Flip side to this is that Turkey play first on last day, so if he is not in starting 11, you simply don't sub him in at all (similar to Moldovan who is my back-up gk currently, after Donnarumma).

          Cheers for the feedback both! Due to Belgium's injuries at left back De Cuyper should be nailed to start the first couple games at least. He seems to be a very attacking fullback, which is why I prefer him to Faes for .5 more. Arda Güler is Turkey's one and only hope of doing anything at all at this tournament, so happy to take a punt on him at that price point as I am confident he starts 🙂

            What about calhanogolu instead of Guler as I thought he was on set pieces or have I missed something over the last few days . Also I was on Guler for a bit then switched also had Yilmaz too until this last round of friendlies. But I've switched to the same 3 upfront you've got.

              Çalhanoğlu is a perfectly fine pick as he's going to be on all set pieces for Turkey and has a long range goal in him too, but I prefer Arda Güler for .5 less as he should play further forward in a "free" role. Çalhanoğlu is often Inter and Turkey's deepest midfielder.

            Looking at the odds available on De Cuyper scoring or assisting, he's priced at 7/4. That's the third best odds and is equal to TAA. He's also a million cheaper - if he definitely starts, he could be a banker!

        I think Trent starts in midfield alongside Rice for the first game at least, lots of English media also reporting the same. Dumfries is Koeman's go to man at RB / RWB, so am confident he starts over Frimpong despite his standout season.

          I know we shouldn't read too much into the last friendly but England looked poor as hell in defence could of conceded 4 goals and we lacked cutting edge upfront so I'm keeping away from England at the moment probably get wrong but there are a few good players else where to pick .

            I agree with you, England seem to be lacking any sort of rhythm at the moment which is why I've excluded their midfield / attack for now (will reassess as the tournament progresses ofc). However, at the price point TAA seems good value, so happy to take a punt on him from the start. Good luck to you also 🙂

      No nuts / seeds in there? I like me a bit more crunch - pecans and pumpkin seeds ideally. Cranberries are a nice filling too, I like how they plump up in the milk. Any why not spice it up with some cinnamon or cardamom? I'll sometimes chop up some banana / strawberries to go on top with the yoghurt too

      You don't seem to have understood how subs work in this format. Subs can be made within the MD as long as the player subbing on hasn't played yet - so a Mittelstadt/Jorginho/fodder bench will put you at a big disadvantage

    A fun look back at how players would have performed in Fantasy at previous tournaments (Platini smashed it and then some).

    At Euro 2020 the winning formation was 5-3-2 and in 2 of the past 3 tournaments the highest scoring player was a defender. I think captaining defenders until you land on one that goes stratospheric could be a good, fun strategy.

      Why are the scores so low early on? Different format?

        Yeah I think even in 92, when Denmark had to cancel their holidays and take part (and won!), it was an 8-team format, 2 groups of 4.

      I thought that there would be higher scores for those teams that stayed in the tournament the longest, but last time out (there's plenty of England) there wasn't a single top player from Italy, even though they won it. Perhaps that's because they shared theri spoils across the wider team....

    Just a bit of interesting detail:

    If we consider the teams with the most one sides matches in MD!, and assess their defences for their chances to win their game and retain a clean sheet, this is the probabilities they imply:

    Germany ~ 50%
    Italy ~ 50%
    England - 44%
    Netherlands ~ 40%
    Belgium ~ 40%
    Denmark - 38%
    France - 38%
    Portugal - 38%

    Therefore, for those people playing a chip in week 2, There might be some extra interest in Maehle from Denmark too. He's 5.5 but he's got odds of 4 to 1 to score at anytime, and 7 to 4 to get a goal or an assist. To put that in perspective, thats lower odds than Cancelo, Dumfries and T Hernandez.....

      Or to put it another way, the bookmakers believe that Maehle getting a goal or an assist is basically as likely as Portugal beating Czechia.

        Yeah, that's like a blend of the two - I've been using SkyBet for the team to win to nil , and the defender to score or assist - two different markets. Your clean sheet and a goal is a great market for this sort of analysis - assuming the bookies know what they're doing 🙂

        At th emoment, I have TAA, Mæhle, Dimarco, Hernandez, and De Cuyper as my five, which you'd think was a great selection, considering i'll be using my limitless in MD2 but I still have concerns over TAA - I just can't see us keeping a clean sheet with our defence and that reduces his chance of making the cut. If I drop him for Mitteldtadt, I also get an extra 1.5m to spend...

          I'm still using 2 markets & multiplying the CS odds by anytime goalscorer odds. Quite striking how far ahead Mæhle is but maybe they reckon Cancelo to have more assist- than goal-threat. I have both in any case, with Mittelstadt, Di Marco & Dumfries. Germany's CS odds are really high (55.5%) so although Mittelstadt is only 10/1 to score, the CS+ G odds come out close to Cancelo's at a round 5%. 4m just seems like a gift

      A2. Dalot starting last night looks a good enough indicator for me of their first 11, fancy Austria to nick a goal (nearly 2 years since anyone shut them out, including friendlies), not 100% sure Moldovan is a starter & Verbruggen is my fave GK for MD1.

      Not as much in it between 1/2 but prefer Szoboszlai

      I think Kane has the better MD1 fixture, but Mbappé is the only one I haven't for a second considered going without. Not entirely sure if I'm reading too much into England's friendlies but the defensive injuries, uncertain midfield spot, and apparent fatigue of some key attackers might indicate a slow/sloppy start. I also don't really trust Belgium players with captaincy so Mbappé is the clear standout for Monday (by which stage, if I'm still twisting, I want someone solid not punty); whereas I'm quite tempted to go with a differential Depay / Mæhle (C) on the Sunday

    Local bookie also offers Euro Fantasy. They use the same platform as FanTeam and the prize pool is 206k euros. The winner gets 40k euros and then when I see prize pool in the official Euro Fantasy, I wonder why the prize pool is so low? I mean, a trip to Qatar isn't really that great of a prize. In fact, it's among the last places in the world I would choose for a trip.

      Maybe more due to him being a beast in UCL fantasy, although more so in 22/3 than last season. Looks like he played in a back 4 throughout qualifying but I think the expectation is that he'll play as a wing back now
