Euro 2012 – Daily Captain Polls

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

    Tzorvas( Greece does not recieve many goals, and he’s the first option, so…), Eduardo (Maybe even he’ll start, but probably Will replace him after gw1)

    Corluka (Croatia’s best defender, Croatia hopefully will not recieve a lot of goals, can score with header but can also assist easily if he plays on the side.), Rami ( France will probably not recieve many goals, he is a great defender, can also score), Papadopoulos (I said about Greece, and this guy is the best, 20 yrs old, in 10 int. matches scored 4 times, and Greece goes for goals from the break), Larsson (Sweden hopefully also will not recieve many goals, and he scored 4 goals in 9 matches for Sweden!), Shevchuk (I put him in just because he was the only one with price of 4, and I know him from Shakhtar, plays on the side and can assist maybe)

    Ribery (no need to say something), Young (Gonna score or assist surely), Sneider (Also no need to introduce), Shirokov (You know all about him, cheep supply of goals and assists), Marchisio (Costs only 7, and he can score and assist easily, just like he does in Juventus)

    Eduardo (Croatias best striker, can score from impossible situations, has that sense of the goal, he wont maybe start, but if he comes in, he’s gonna shake things up), Rvp (Even I prefer Huntelaar and Robben, Robin will play as a striker, and has more chance of scoring than Robben, Klaas is on the bench, unfortunately) Ibrahimovic (Probably gonna replace him after gw1, has class and will do well against Ukraine in gw1)

    What do you think?

    TW - The reason I thought Afellay might make way for Huntelaar is if Holland decide to play him through the middle and move RVP to the left and Robben on the right. And Sneijder the advanced midfielder with De Jong and Van Bommel the holding players.

    Mostly stock picks, and he has a few duffs in there, but there's one choice in there which isn't touted enough. Obraniak. 6.5 Polish no. 10. He could be a hidden gem for sure.

      Hey partner 😉 Are you sure Klose will start? And i think the Alonso pick will only pay off if Spain get a penalty, £8m is a lot of cash just for that luxury. I don't like betting against England but i guess it's good at least one of us have French attacking cover 🙂 The defence is strong, and the Srna pick could pay off massivly, especially as Ireland commit more fouls than any other team!

        We'll either win by a mile or fail miserably with my team. I'm pretty sure Klose will start the first game and then rotate with Gomez afterwards. Alonso will get 4 points at the least and if he gets a penalty which is highly possible in a team full of divers we will be doing very well.

      I would think it depends on what you think the scorelines will be...the Dutch defense is pretty bad, but the Danes have a slightly lower chance of scoring than Portugal...basically I would try and bank on which of the two teams you think will score more. For me, I think the Dutch have a higher chance of scoring week one, so I would say A.

      B for me. I've gone Ozil, Mueller, Willems, RVP. Holland are favourites for cleanie and Willems is very attacking. Holland have a more central outlet in RVP and so you can get away with just one attacker with them :

    Gambino am I right in thinking Kroh-Dehli is nailed on OOP (attacking winger). If so thinking of punt on him for first 2 weeks.

    Would you rather have Pletikosa over Given for their game?

      Pletikosa but 0.5 goes a long way.

    I'm a bit rubbish with working out time differences, is it right to say tomorrow's deadline is 15 minutes before the kick off in the Poland v Greece game?

    EURO 2012
    Not only is Juan Mata charged with creating goals for Fernando Torres, but he is also taking care of giving the striker a pep talk ahead of the tournament.

    "Fernando had a very difficult season but the team had a fantastic close to the season and he deserves to be here," he said. "I have no doubt that at the European Championship Fernando will be one of the most important pieces for our team and will certainly score important goals

    Matchday 2 is looking like a nightmare for the budget.
