Euro 2016 is now just one day away after Portugal’s 7-0 win over Estonia brought an end to the recent batch of friendlies last night. In the first in a series of two members articles, we focus on some of the most pertinent statistics over each sides’ last four friendlies this calendar year. We begin with a look at the standout performers in defence and also assess a trio of midfielders, with a further three players in the centre of the park set to feature in tomorrow’s follow-up piece.
I think the Grosicki time has passed. With the doubts over his fitness he will never be as viable as before.
quite reliable
Ramos or Pique?
Ramos is on pens if and when Iniesta subs off
Already have a midfield of KDB, Payet and Perisic. Knowing one will be benched, who would you choose from:
A) Ozil and Stanciu
B) Hamsik and JunuzovicB for me
Who would you bench?
Junuzovic as he plays last and can be brought in for whoever does the worst from the others. Unless you're talking about a different game to the McDs one?
B
WEGOTPAYET7
Can I get RMT on this please lads?
Can anyone pick out any problems with this?
Kozacik (de gea MD4 C?)
Hector Rami Rodriguez (MD2 C) dragovic guerreiro
Forsberg hamsik payet perisic ozil
Giroud (MD1 C) lewandowski (MD3 C) janko (MD5 C)
Can I finally leave it alone?Guerreiro, thoughts on his game time?
A) Silva + Kane
B) Ronaldo + Weiss
Thanks!A but feel Silva is a little over priced at 10.0.
Please rate my team so that I finally pay some attention to my gf 😀 :
Kozacik
Howedes--Schar--Rami
Stanciu--Alli--Fabregas--Payet
Ronaldo--Giroud--Muller
Bench: Rui Patricio, Juanfran, Alaba, Denayer
Thanks!Pay attention to ur gf it looks good
*She* thanks you!
How much attention would she get if it was rated 3/10?
Cmmon man let him spend some time out of football
Same. Attention rate 3/10.
Kozacik - Randolph
Alba - Koscielny - Bonucci - Schar - Gonul
KdB - Payet - Konoplyanka - Junuzovic - Stanciu
Muller - Giroud - Nolito
S'alri? 🙂Personally not keen on Nolito taking up a strikers spot but otherwise good!
Cheers DL 🙂
Was considering Bale + Dzemaili vs Nolito + KdB
Very nice. Looks like I have 7out of 8 your attackers and quite similar defence. Must be good!
😎
How can I improve my team:
Rui, Kovacik,
Howedes, Dier, Rami, Juanfran, Pepe
Mak, Alaba, Stanciu, Nanggolean, Perisik
Ronaldo, Muller, Giroud
What should I downgrade??
Thanks!Nainggolan should be upgraded. Pepe can go because no need for double Portugal defence esp as they play on the final days
is ozil and muller a overkill on ze germans ?
i also have hector.I wouldn't say overkill. The only thing about having 3 from any nation that concerns me is the inflexibility it causes later
Kozacik (Patricio)
Hector, Rodriguez, Dier (Strinic, Alba)
Perisic, Fabregas, Matuidi, Dzemaili (Alaba)
Muller, Giroud (c), Kane
I have 1.5 in ITB. Where do I spend it? Or just keep it up my sleeve?Dzemaili to Junuzovic?
Alright, all finished! What do you think?
Sommer Patricio
Juanfran Ramos Rami Rodriguez Guerreiro
Hamsik Payet Perisic Ozil Junuzovic
Muller Giroud NolitoAttack line is the same. Have KDB instead of Ozil
Is Giroud or Payet a better captain choice for first match? (Assuming both start)
a)Witsel is a starter for Belgium?
b)Giroud or Griezmann?thoughts on Ozil?
I just brought him in instead of Goetze as I was worried about him not being nailed on, which also allowed me to upgrade my keeper4 assists in qualifying 😎
Good choice, Ozil is likely to play full 90 minutes and Germany are capable of getting high scoring wins which he will be part of
Is it better than Irish Madridista's Team ?
Sommer , Kozacik
Schar , Glik , Alba , Dragovic , Guerrerio
Payet , Peresic , Stanciu , Ozil , Junzovic
Muller , Lewandowski , NolitoIf Glik only for GW1 then it's very good. And I wouldn't double up on Swiss def, but I can see it' s quite popular
My plan is to wc after gw 1 . I think they have a good chance vs Albania .
Sommer -> Randolph
Glik -> Bonucci
Dragovic -> Gonul
Guerreiro -> Koscielny
Perisic -> Konoplyanka
Ozil -> KdB
Lewandowski -> Giroud
😀On a more serious note... Don't like Lewa. Would rather Bale / Giroud.
My plan is to wildcard after gw 1 and ditch him . Which do you prefer A) Stanciu and Peresic B) Mak and Fabregas just for gw 1 ? . If Fabs starts vs Czech Republic I prefer B
I fancy Northern Ireland's chances v Poland.
A) with Konoplyanka vs Can/Howedes.Why do you underestimate Howedes? He is World Cup winner playing alm the games on the left side although he's right footed. He will be ok
Not a comparison but djimi traore is a Champions League winner tbf . I don't think being a World Cup winner should spare him from criticism .
Yeah there are lots of accidental winners but This is not what I try to tell you. He played all the games out od position and still they won world Cup. That's it
Solid defender but not the quickest..
If spirit and fan support won tournaments we would be favourites . I will look into Kono thanks again 🙂
Thoughts lads here it is!!!
Patricio/Kozacik
Dier-Juanfran-Rami-Djourou-Strinic
Alli-KDB-Ozil-Stanciu0Renato Sanches
Muller-Giroud-RonaldoEvertons new Dawn.
They give Darron Gibson a 2 year extension to his contract. Oh great!!!Think i've finished (changed a LOT since reading posts on here)
Anything that would worry you?
Sommer
Djourou / Howedes / Rami
Mak / Payet / Perisic / Stanciu
Giroud / Muller / Ronaldo
Rui Pat / Juanfran / R Guerreiro / AlabaI like this. Payet can be changed if he don't start so no worries there.
There are few worries here and there ( Howedes, Payet, Guerreiro or even Juanfran) but I personally think only Guerreiro may not start.
Patricio - 4m
Schar - Lichsteiner - rami - Dragovic - Strinic
Ozil - Perisic - Hamsik - Alli - Chipciu
Ronaldo - Ibrahimovic - Giroud
Differential team. WC after GW 1.
Captain spread - Giroud - Hamsik - Perisic - Ibra - Ronaldo.
Lets do this. 😎sommer/patricio
kos glick ramos howedes(guierro)
forsberg kroos pirisic stanciu (alaba)
giroud muller (ronaldo)
Any comments on this lot. Dunno about Kroos. Matuidi instead maybe?
All suggestions greatly appreciated.Currently have Alaba. Think I should bump him for Junuzovic as the more attacking pick?
right, any feedback/constructive criticism on this bunch:
De Gea (Rui Patricio)
Juanfran, Evra, Hector, Schar (Denayer)
Ozil, Payet, Alli (Rafa Silver, 4.5 bench fodder)
Giroud, Lewandowski, Muller
I'll be sticking to a 4-3-3, I could easily free up 1.5m through downgrading Evra and my 2nd keeper to upgrade the midfield but I'm pretty happy with it as is tbh!Anybody starting with Milik?
at the moment.
After some final changes, any chance of some feedback or suggestions to better my team?
Sommer (Patricio)
Alba - Hector - Rami - Dragovic (Denayer)
Ozil - Fabregas - Junuzovic (Forsberg) (Sanches)
Muller - Ronaldo - Giroud
Not happy with Sanches but do not know if there is anyone else at 4.5m. Also considering changing Fabregas to Matuidi. Any ideas please?Is Juanfran nailed? or likely to be Bellaria?
Top Goalscorer in EURO 2016?
Don't know yet 🙂
^ God, what a smartarse.
Muller probably.
Griezmann
Griezmann
Kyle Lafferty
You're having a Lafferty.
Stanciu
Gru or Morata
Is there a good tutorial to this manual subs thing? I am so used to the EPL game that I'm getting all kinds of confused.
Ready to go...
Sommer/Patricio
Juanfran/Dier/Rami/Hector/Dragovic
Perisic/Stanciu/Alli/Alaba/Dzemali
Ronaldo/Lewa/GiroudGuys, Is Goetze a starter or Gomez...
Also Is Juanfran nailed...
Help!
8 years, 8 days ago
Reading on some Polish website that Grosicki trained and getting stronger, but still not looking great for GW1. No idea of the reliability of the source...
