As of this afternoon, we’re rolling out Captain Polls on a daily basis ahead of tomorrow’s 5pm Group A kick-off between Poland and Greece.

With the McDonald’s Uefa game allowing us to change the armband every Matchday in each round of action, Fantasy managers will have plenty of tinkering and decisions to make as the games arrive thick and fast.

Our intention is to update the poll once the first game of each Matchday has kicked off. As usual, you will find the poll in the middle of the main page, with 15 protagonists per day to choose from.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      It's very similar to my team with a couple of exceptions. I like it, but only concern would be whether Akinfeev gets the start in net for Russky

      I would rethink it.

      I can see the Eng-Fra game being slow scoring, so would look at only one (Ribery) for GW1. Downgrade Young to Yarm and upgrade your defence (get Alba).

    Chalkias Pletikosa
    Alba Limbersky Perquis Berezutski Maniatis
    Ozil Sneijder Shirokov Larsson Yarmy
    RVP Benzema/Muller Lewandowski

    Or go crawling back to Affelay and use the 2.0 cash to upgrade?

              Milkman obviously is not well informed. LOL

              Perisic has the most chance for starting at LM. Alternative (so far) is Rakitic.

    Lewandowsi 2.88 top Polish goalscorer. Seems like a good bet to me.

      Will Poland score many? If he is joint scorer that price will be halved.

    Good work with the enhanced double link earlier, snowy. Win or lose, they seem like some good odds.

            A traitor from within...he said he didn't trust him. I've got Iniesta and I'm sticking with him.

      I did have Strinic but they are concerns if he may start.

      Apart from that looks good to me.
