    Hi guys needing a catch up please. Can anyone tell me the injury status on Guerreiro? Is there a simple list of all players suspended for the QFs?

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

      Didn't train today and yesterday I believe someone told here

  2. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years

    Is Gomez Neuer Sagna a better combo than Giroud Lloris Hector?

    My 2nd goalkeeper is a 4.0 gk so I think I'd rather have Neuer from now on than Lloris right?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Given that Giroud may even be dropped, yes.

    2. Margarido
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      So its Sagna and Gomez vs Hector and Giroud ?
      I think i prefer the later. More goals in France vs Island

  3. pol
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Which 2 would you prefer:

    A) Kroos + Griezman
    B) Ozil + Giroud

      Kroos Griezz

    I feel sorry for Roy Hodgson, he spoke very well there and is now the scapegoat for the overpaid and overrated English players letting their country down

      Not enough bites on Twitter? 😉

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

        Haha, Twitter is too quiet before 5pm 😉

      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      You're being to generous, he was let down by his own lack of sound tactics and player selection.

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

        Every single player he selected underperformed! Yes, some of tactics have been questionable but the players have to take most of the blame

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

          He is trying to play a 4-3-3 with a striker and #10 in midfield. His fault , not the players.

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

            Players are at fault as well but Roy has been worse. Why did he bring Wilshere on? He didn't look half fit!

          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          The midfield black hole set up pretty much every other player on the pitch to fail.

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

            Yep , I see Alli closer to a second striker than a midfielder and Rooney is a striker , not a mid. At best he may be a second striker.

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      This makes me think. Who'd want the England job? So many failures and there's constant talk of players not bothered about England anymore

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

        For over £3m a year people will be lining up for the next cycle of disappointment.

        1. Defcons are for Kinnear
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          3m a year is worth the abuse. Plus the bar is so low that it's hard to do wise

          1. Defcons are for Kinnear
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            *worse

              Agreed

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

      1. Blurryface

          • 10 Years

      But nope - can't say it's happened. I'd ignore them as much as possible

        Cheers it's happening 5-6 times a day . I assumed they were trying to scam me or something but this must be the longest long con of all time it's been going on for weeks.

  12. Balitelivision
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What are people's WC tactics? I've currently got 4 Belgium and 4 Germany... is either team get knocked out it's gonna cost me a lot of points for the semis! But this team just looks too buttery to tear apart:

    Fabianski (Buffon)
    Fonte - Boeteng - Meunier - (Hector) - (Giaccherini)
    Hazard - KDB - Draxler - Payet (Blaszycowski)
    Lukaku - Griezmen - Gomez

    How would you fix it? Less Germany/Belgium, more France?

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

      4 GER VS ITA?

      1. Balitelivision
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Good point. So I'll whip Boateng out for Koscielny...

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

          yup

  13. Weeb Kakashi
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Pick one

    A With Renato
    Lloris Fabianski
    Giacherini Meunier Hector Bonnuci Koscielny

    B With Ramsey
    Lloris Fabianski
    Giacherini Meunier Hector Jed Fonte

    C With Parolo
    Lloris Fabianski
    Giacherini Meunier Hector Koscielny Fonte/Jed

    Thoughts??

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

      A

    2. Dynamic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A

  14. Mrm9m
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    iceland will defend deep and narrow so can see France crossing alot , Giroud is a better option than Greizman for this game

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

      So its better to get the crosser coz any one can score form the cross

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Could be good for Sagna.

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

          true

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      If he starts, but agree on the tactics.

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

      Pogba is where its at. 😎

  15. Dynamic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Please can I have a cheeky RMWCT?

    Lloris Patricio
    Sagna Hector Giaccherini Jedrzejczyk Meunir
    KDB Hazard Payet Draxler Sanches
    Ronaldo Griezmann Gomez

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      8/10, not bad.

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

        Thanks.

  16. Rajna
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So how much do you trust Belgium to advance? Because the three versions that I am currently contemplating are:

    A: Vertonghen, Grosicki, Lukaku (5 Belgians)
    B: Vertonghen, Özil, Milik (4 Belgians)
    C: Guerreiro, Grosicki, Bale (3 Belgians and a Welsh)

    So obviously, if Belgium cruises, I am best off with A, but if they are out, I only have a chance with C as with A and B I won't have enough free transfers. I already cover all defenses except Iceland, so Vertonghen and Guerreiro would be doubling up on Belgium or Portugal. I already have Kroos so I can only get Grosicki for 7 as I don't want too many Germans either.

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

      good to go with c

  17. Weeb Kakashi
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So is Giroud the better option?? Than Griezmann??

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

      if iceland dont park the bus then yes

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

      Griezman without a doubt

  18. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Kicker reporting than United's bid for Mkhitaryan is £35.3m.

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

      Why aren't Chelsea bidding for him if its just 35.3m? 🙁

      Pay 45 million and give him 250k per week Conte!

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Don't see how he'd fit a system with 3 at the back. He needs to play right of a 4231/433.

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

          We don't have to play 3 at the back. We can play 433 or 424. Conte has done it before.

          Hazard-Costa-Mkhitaryan

          World class attack.

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Well, Chelsea have signed players at the last minute so it wouldn't be surprising. Willian, Costa.

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

              ..Pedro , hazard...both stolen from United 😀

              1. Davido989
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Mkhitaryan to Chelsea confirmed 😉

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

        He wants to join united so that deal looks difficult

    2. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Seriously excited about this one.. although still a glimmer of anxiety untll we get it over the line

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Really good player mate. However, I don't see his relationship with Mourinho lasting

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

          How come berbs?

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            He prefers to attack and not go back. Said that he now has freedom to attack under Tuchel

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

              Will get plenty of chance to attack when he has the ball at his feet mate.. Jose wouldn't be interested if he wasn't sure he was the type to put a shift in without it.. will want to make us stronger physically and seriously quick in attack..

    Assuming Renato and Guerreiro start which looks better?

    B) Lloris Jed Arnason/Renato Ramsey Griezman

    These new features to FPL are intriguing. Although FPL is brilliant as it is, its nice to have a new challenge every year. Last year was the chips. I wonder what it is this year

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nah it's a great game and I don't think the chips were a massive improvement

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

        The way i read the message on the website is that FPL will have a new website and app and any changes to the game will probably just fine tuning

        I hope the all out attack chip is replaced with something better personally

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I hope that all chips are replaced by no chips at all.

    N'Golo Kante has completed more tackles and interceptions at this tournament in 237 minutes than Dier, Rooney, Wilshere and Henderson did in a combined 841 minutes. He's also had more assists and a better pass completion than any of them.

      I know I don't understand why Hodgson called up Wilshere instead .

      N'Golo's a beast

      Rashford beat more players in 5 minutes than any other player did in 90

        pathetic

        *any other English player.

          Oh, never mind, that 90 minutes can be read "in the England-Iceland match". I read it as average.

    If anyone needed any further example of the money available to PL clubs after the new tv deals.. Palace are rumoured to be close to a deal for Michy Batshuayi for just over 30 million... lol

      • 15 Years

      Great for fpl 🙂

    2. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      And according to The Times, Michy refused to sign for Palace.

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

        Don't blame him.. point is there are ridiculous sums of money available to PL clubs right now

          Sure, not contesting that. But very understandably the guy doesn't want to go just anywhere.

          That said, with Cabaye in midfield to distribute the ball, Batshuayi would add the needed CF to that super pacy attack to make a potentially very efficient counterattacking team that could surprise in PL. They're also trying to get Mandanda on goal.

            Yep they do have the makings of a very decent side tbf.. transfer window going to explode over the coming weeks 🙂

    What I wouldn't give for Alex Ferguson to throw his name into the hat (and win straight away of course) for the England job.

  26. Bøwstring The Carp

    Roma close to signing Pablo Zabaleta from Manchester City for a fee believed to be around £2.5m

      Good move for Zab. Served us well in FPL. Classy fella too

    If you had to pick any 1 midfielder from Poland or Portugal to be your captain on the first match day, who would you choose?

    Blaszyczkowski? Grosiki? Krychowiak? Joao Mario? Andre Gomes? Joao Moutinho?

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

      One of the first 2

      1. Funkyav
        • 16 Years

        the first one

        the portuguese midfielders are all meh

        Hey, Jaks! What I've read from Belgium press, there's much demand for Michy to start in Lukaku's stead. Any idea whether Wilmots will be affected by that, or rather be the stubborn bugger he usually is.

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

          Well the pressure to start him over Lukaku has always been there, don't think it will change much. Although Lukaku has never been nailed on for the full 100% after that Italy game, so maybe this will be the time he will be dropped 😀 If he gives anything away in the press I'll let you know

            Thanks!

            My fantasy foot concern is that Belgium forward spot would not be nailed to somebody, anybody, rather than worry about who it is nailed to. I'd love if it was Michy though.

    Struggling this week. Would you take a hit to improve this defence? Henn/DDG*
    Rami* Gia Hector Meunier Jed

    A) DDG > Lloris -4
    B) DDG > Patricio -4
    C) Rami > Vertonghen -4
    D) Rami > Guerreiro/Fonte -4

    1. Blurryface
      • 9 Years

      U can keep Rami

      If you need to take hits, it's better just to wildcard it at this point.
