    QF team
    5 out + Rami so using the WC

    Fabianski - Lorris
    Hect - Giacc - Meunier - Bonucci -Jed
    Hazard - KDB - R.Sanc - Drax - Payet
    Griez - Giourd - Ronaldo

    Thoughts?

  3. Diego Hazard
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Why does it say -16 before I've made any transfers????????

    1. McQueen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Try it on desktop version (it's says 4 free transfers as it should). I had the same problem earlier this morning on my app. Haven't tried it on app since then so maybe it was only temporary.

  4. mrtapio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    WC active. I havent found a clear strategy, but I think my team will look something like this:

    Rui P / Hennessey
    Fonte* / Meunier / Sagna / Hector / Mangala
    Draxler (C) / Hazard (C) / deB / R Sanches* / Payet
    Ronaldo (C) / Lukaku / Griezmann (C)

    *Dont know if they will start. What do you think?
    How does this look?

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      If you think Italy are dead, makes sense!

      I think Fonte is likely to start, R Sanches is probably riskier.

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Giaccherini instead of Mangala, wasted transfer since Rami will probably come back into the squad next game

  5. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Hello there! 🙂 Have already made my 4 transfers but still have DDG and Rami to sort out.

    A) DDG > Lloris
    B) DDG > Patricio
    C) Rami > Vertonghen
    D) Rami > Guerreiro/Fonte

    Henn/DDG*
    Rami* Gia Hector Meunier Jed
    R Sanches Draxler KDB Hazard Payet
    Bale Gomez Ronaldo

    1. Blurryface
      • 9 Years

      I am in a same situation. I dont think its wise to take a hit

    @Cheese

    Sorry, fell asleep yesterday night! I'm pretty sure Italy did beat Austria (haven't done the exact maths though), I'll just wait for Frog's update for confirmation. Anyway, be prepared for the QF 😎 🙂

  7. Eden Hazardous

    Anyone tried to put together an FPL draft which has a reasonable chance of being within budget?

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I have been trying for the past 15 minutes but don't think my draft is within budget

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Show me, I wanna rate a team

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Here I go 😀

          Foster Mannone
          Robertson / Boro' def / Bournemouth def(a 4.5 one) / Chelsea def / Shaw
          Hazard Mane Redmond KDB 4.5
          Aguero Lukaku/Giroud TBD

          1. Eden Hazardous
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Maybe Aguero + TBD > Kane + Long/Ighalo?

          2. Ayew Serious
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            First of all lemme guess prices

            5.0 4.5
            4.5 4.5 4.5 6.0 6.0
            10.0 9.0 5.5 10.0 4.5
            13.0 9.0

            That leaves 4.0 for a forward...

            1. Eden Hazardous
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Mane wont be priced at 9m imo. He was priced at 8m last season and had a poor season this term. Also , he will definitely be priced lower than Coutinho/Firmino and unless you think they will cost 9.5m each , I think Mane will be priced at 8m , MAX - 8.5m.

              1. Ayew Serious
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                How about this

                Mane 8.5/9.0
                Coutinho 8.5/9.0
                Firmino 9.5

                1. Eden Hazardous
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  maybe...but I am skeptical.

              2. Jazz!
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                I think Mané will be £9.0m ish, I hope you're right though. I'd really want to get him.

            2. Ayew Serious
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              But you've got the right kind of team.

              Have to downgrade Kdb/Mane/Hazard imo

              1. Eden Hazardous
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Mane will be the one based on your predicted player prices. 🙂

              2. Eden Hazardous
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Thanks btw. 😀

                You got an early FPL draft?

                1. Ayew Serious
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  No, but I'll try now.

                  WBA 4.0
                  Chelsea Shaw Ayala Kone Palace(4.5)
                  Firmino Hazard
                  Aguero Wilson

                  I really don't know after that. Defenders are much easier to pick at this early stage

                  1. Eden Hazardous
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 5 months ago

                    Chelsea and Shaw seems to be the template already 😆

                  2. Ayew Serious
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 5 months ago

                    That's 22 for two midfielders and a forward according to maths

                    I added a 4.5 mid

    2. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Ive got this but I reckon its about 2.0-3.0 over

      Courtois 4.0
      Azpili Ayala Shaw Robertson Clyne
      Hazard Firmino Eriksen Snodgrass Ayew
      Aguero Sturr Gray

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        My predictions for your player prices

        5.5 4.0
        6.0 4.5 6.0 4.5 5.5
        9.5 9.0 9.0 5.5 7.0
        13.0 11.0 6.0

        = 106 😆

        1. Kings of Lyon ★
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Bugger, I think youre right too 😆

        2. Lucy.
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Looks about right to me 😆

        3. Ayew Serious
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I'll probably be more expensive than 7.0

      2. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'm desperate to rate a team so here goes.

        I'd go as cheap as possible in goals but that's me.
        Wouldn't go near Clyne and that's from a Liverpool fan.
        I'm in midfield so I like it.
        Gray won't cut it imo. Wouldn't risk it right away anyway.

        And that's probably a lot over

        That team will cost 105+ BTW

  8. Kings of Lyon ★
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    When was the happiest you've been after a footballing result which did not involve or impact your team?

    Id go for a top 3 of

    1) Artmedia 5-0 Celtic (2005)
    2) Iceland 2-1 England (2016)
    3) Man Utd 2-1 Bayern (1999)

    1. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nearly all Aston Villa games last season

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        😆

  9. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Aside from Ronaldo, who is everyone planning to captain on Day 1?

    Poland/Portugal def or Blasczcykowski?

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Only players I'll own are Milik, Jed and Guerreiro so probably Milik

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Already have Milik or bringing in on a wc?

        1. Jazz!
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          No WC, already have him.

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Leads to my next question... 😀 Would you buy him on a wc?

            1. Jazz!
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Probably no unless you strongly fancy Poland to beat Portugal 🙂

              1. JÆKS ⭐
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Not really, but don't have a clue on my last striker spot, Gomez Giroud or Milik

                1. Jazz!
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  Hmm, that's a tough one. I think you've got them right in that order personally (I fancy Germany to beat Italy - but I also fancied Belgium and Spain to 😆 )

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Someone from Poland probably - Milik seems unlikely to make my team so Fabianski or a defender

  10. Lucy.
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I am afraid to confirm that Andrew H of UEFA hasn't actually got a clue what 'subjective' means.

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sums them up.

  11. DeadStarComing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Was there any price changes?

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No

      1. DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Didn't think I could see any. Are we assuming that's it now? There was just a few slight changes after the group stage. Bit weird I thought.

        1. Jazz!
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Not sure at all, I think that's it

  12. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Done the transfers

    Neuer Hennessey
    Giacherini Hector Meunièr Jedz Rami*
    Hazard KDB Ozil Draxler Payet
    Griezmann Lukaku Gomez

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Looking good.

    2. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nice, my team looks like this after transfers.

      Courtois Subasic*
      Hector Meunier Guerreiro Jed Rami*
      Haz KDB Drax Payet Ramsey
      Bale Milik Müller

      So many people were eliminated 🙁 🙁

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      All out on Germany? 😀

  13. Red Devil Swede
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What date did FPL release last summer? It was in the 1st week of July, wasn't it?

    1. Konig Luther
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      9 or 8.. there is a hot topic

  14. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Ronaldo Griezman Giroud are my strikers atm

    Not so convinced on Giroud, are there any better and cheaper alternatives?

  15. MartialMatas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    This look ok?
    Walker -> Giaccherini
    Alli -> Draxler
    Perisic -> Błaszczykowski
    Strnic -> Guerreiro
    Rami on the Bench

    Leaves me with
    Hennessey Courtois
    Hector Meunier Giaccherini Guerreiro (Rami)
    Draxler De Bruyne Payet Ramsey Błaszczykowski
    Lukaku Muller Bale

    1. MGD
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Blasz get subbed out early (in case of ET)

      What do you think about Grosicki instead? Played 117 last game and looked dangerous.

  16. Rex Lapis
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this?
    Dier > Giac
    Rami > Jedrzejczyk
    Perisic > Hazard
    Ali > Draxler

    Rest of the team :
    Lloris Fabianski
    Meunier Hector Taylor
    Payet KDB Kroos
    Bale Giroud Lukaku

  17. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team

    Lloris/Courtois
    Giaccherini/Hector/Meunir/Kosc/Guerriero
    Hazard/KDB/Payet/Kroos/Coman
    Griezmann/Lukaku/Gomez

    1. ROOTY7
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure on Comans game time, maybe try Draxler?
      Like the Lukaku punt.

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Draxler instead of Coman for me

      Not sure on Lukaku

      Kroos to Grosicki?

      1. Disco Stu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Who is a better option than Lukaku?

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Giroud? Gomez?

          1. Disco Stu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Already have Gomez and got Griezmann instead of Giroud. Looks like only real options are either Milik or Nani

            1. JÆKS ⭐
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Well I'm just not sure about Lukaku. Played another poor game and we do have 4 strikers

              1. Disco Stu
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                I keep feeling like Lukaku is due, and 4 strikers???

                1. JÆKS ⭐
                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  'We' as in Belgium then 😀

                  Benteke
                  Lukaku
                  Origi
                  Michy

                  The latter also scored...

                  1. Disco Stu
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 13 Years
                    9 years, 5 months ago

                    Ahhhhh, gotcha. Lukaku still going to play the majority of the minutes, and what does it tell you about Benteke and Origi when Michy got put in ahead of both of them?

                    1. JÆKS ⭐
                      • 11 Years
                      9 years, 5 months ago

                      He was the only one without any minutes on the EC so far. He is a quality striker, I think the majority here wanted him in after the Italy performance. Then as you know Lukaku scored 2 but followed by 2 poor performances now. I'm not 100% sure if he will keep faith in Lukaku. I could see a chance for Michy or Origi to start up front there but ofcourse I don't know what Wilmots is thinking 😀

                      Before the tournament he did say that Lukaku was his number 1 striker, but after the game he said that he was dissappointed in the amount of missed chances in the first half.

          Hmm, don't think they're any options in that bracket, maybe Parolo is the way to go then. 🙁

    Fabianski, Courtois

    Chester , guerriero , meunier , Hector , jedrzejcdyzk

    Hazard , KDB , Draxler , Ozil , payet

    Hey Jazz, you around? We made it to the quarters I see? Congrats to us! 😀

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Indeed! Brady and Hazard were brilliant picks mate. 😀 I think we've made it to the QF but don't think Frog has updated it yet?

      1. Saniul
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Hasn't he? I thought he has, but I realised I got no points yesterday.
        I didn't do transfers and manual subs in GW2, didn't do manual subs this round (6 and 3 on bench with 0 and 1 on pitch sucks, could have been worse with Ozil on bench too)... Still some motivation left to play the game. 😀

        1. Jazz!
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, I saw that. But you're lovely Brady and Hazard picks kept us in the game 🙂

          I got -1 points yesterday after subbing Dier in 🙁 🙁 🙁 He hasn't updated it yet but I'm pretty sure we're through. Good luck for the rest of the tournament mate!

            Yeah good luck to you too, and to us. Shame I haven't been around too much, this summer internship is sucking the life out of me.

        Where do we see the update ?

        Want see how Austria are progressing

          Check the Frogball article in the community section then the spreadsheet. He hasn't updated yesterday's scores yet though.

            It's updated

            1. Jazz!
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Oh, thanks!

                9 years, 5 months ago

                No worries 😀
                Slovakia look like a really strong team tbh.

            2. Jazz!
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              But I had 43 on Sunday and 42 yesterday so is that just a mistake? I got -1 yesterday.

                • 10 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Oh sh*t yeah.
                It still hasn't updated, that's only after 2 match days 😀

    Any chance Renato will play from the start? Changed the game for them.

      Wish I'd named my team Remi & Renato

  22. JÆKS ⭐

    That Jedr... Polish guy is injured as well?

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Is he ?

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        He is flagged 🙁

        1. Blurryface
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Is he? Its not showing for me

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Maybe they removed it again 😀 Let's hope it was just a mistake then

  23. Blurryface
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this team after 4 transfers

    Hennesey DDG*
    Giacherreni Rami* Jedrejczyc Hector Munier
    KDB Payet Sachez Ramsey Draxler
    Ronaldo Bale Lukaku

    The concerns obviously are DDG n Rami but dont wanna take any hits

    Would appreciate someone to sense check this for me.

    I've the WC still in tact. Sitting 5 points in the lead of cash league.

    My strategy is,
    Use 4 transfers to get rid of 4 eliminated players
    Keep hold of Rami
    Spread my bets across most teams (ie Not gamble on teams I think go through)
    Use the WC after 1/4s

    That's sound enough logic isn't it...?

    1. Rowse
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm in the same boat, but really not sure! Going to pick my WC team and compare it to my 4FT team and see how different it is. If it is more or less the same I'll use the FT but if it's wildly different I'll WC

    In terms of differentials, who are we thinking for those chasing in the Euro fantasy?

    1. Pirlø's Pen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe Giroud, nobody seems to have him anymore

      1. mikess
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        16% to Greizmanns 56%

    2. mikess
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Pelle, Eder, Batshuayi, Carasco, De Rossi(pens?), Cabaye ha...

      Pogba? 29% ownership but probably not much in top 1k. Probably from dead teams

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I might punt on Pogba.

        1. mikess
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I'm thinking he might be a differential in the top 1k. If they were to win it, I'd say he'd get a decent haul in one of the 3 games left

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Gomez?

      1. mikess
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Already aboard

  26. Pirlø's Pen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    If you could only have 1 for next round who would it be,
    A. Hazard
    B. Griezmann

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A

  27. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Do you realy think that players who scored in Round of 16 will score again ? 😀

    Im sick of template teams...

    Lukaku, Ozil, Muller, KDB have more chances for scoring

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm sick of Muller, giving Gomez a chance now! 😀

    2. Blurryface
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Add giroud to it

    3. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Have 3 of them so let's hope so

    4. mourinho_el_fenómeno
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      i agree with you! i dont see any griez and draxler scoring.

    England players clearly didn't understand the facts
    Is there a petition we can sign to give us another chance ?
