    Repost for new article

    Just decided I’m going to do a team for the euros.
    First draft, what’s wrong with this team, what is the method for the transfers for each match day, captains etc?

    Krul hradecky
    Denayer wijndal Torres Kjaer Spinazzalo
    Chiesa Torres debruyne(or is he out?) Nego 6m
    Lukaku Depay Lewandowski

    Cheers for any help

      Keep an eye out for the Italy lineup on Friday. Berardi is favoured to start over Chiesa so you can save 2m there.

      Not sure if KDB is available or not. Eriksen, Insigne and Jota look like good alternatives.

        Nice one thanks mate, I was going to ask is Jota fit? Not seeing him in any teams if he is he is straight into my team

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah he's fit. Played in their recent friendly. He's in my team.

      I think you have picked the best possible front 3 for the group stage fixtures. I would expect all three to be in the running for golden boot and get at least a dozen goals between them before the knockout stage. The 4.5m defenders are great value too.

  2. LangerznMash

    Courtois and Donnarumma both have a realistic chance of keeping clean sheets in all group games.

      Disagree about Belgium. Won't be a walk in the park having to play away against 2 of the host nations with home fans

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Dzyuba is such a threat, no Witsel, no KdB
        Lots of reasons to suggest the hype is overdone

        1. LangerznMash
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah I see your logic and now agree Italy have it slightly more favourable.
          I still think Belgium have lots of cleansheets in them playing an experienced back 5, Tielemans probably an improvement on Witsel if anything.

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Donnarumma + Hradecky for me.

    3. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Donnarumma for me.

  3. I Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Donnarumma
    Denayer, Kjaer, Wijndal
    Insigne (1), Jota, F. Torres (4), Berardi
    Ronaldo (5), Lukaku (2), Depay (3)

    Hradecky; P. Torres, Bednarek, Nego.

    Good to go?

    First draft, would appreciate if you spot any glaring errors such as likely non starters. Looking to have all starters as can sub them in as we go. Would play limitless MD2. So this team is for MD1 and MD3

    Donnarum / Schmeichel

    Torress.. Lainer... Maehle...Denayer...Wijndal

    Torres... Olmo.. Tielemens.. Kante... Beradi (if not playing then will switch to Jorginho or Chiesa

    Lukaku... Depay...Ronaldo

    MD1 captains would be: Beradi / Lukaku / Depay / Torres / Ronaldo

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Is Tielemans a guaranteed starter? Don't think Kante will get you many points.

      1. Hktrader88
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        thanks! I think Tielemans starts. Kante - I was about to write, I think he'll notch up the points in recoveries. But looks like there's no points for recoveries. I was thinking rules were same as Champions League Fantasy. Not much around that price. Could do Alaba for MD1, then switch to Kimmich for MD3.

  5. Joey Tribbiani

    Do we think all of Jota, Bilva and Felix start against Hungary?

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      its 3 of 4 including Bruno isnt it
      possible all 4 if they decide Hungary can be attacked

      1. Joey Tribbiani
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Currently have Jota and Felix in my team because of Silva hasnt featured yet in friendlies

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Jota and Bilva look pretty certain to me. Between Felix and Bruno for the last spot.

    Best Ukrainian option between

    A Tsygankov
    B Malinovskyi

    Best Italian option between

    1 Immobile
    2 Insigne

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      B2

    2. monya
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A-Tsygankov wont start as long as Yarmolenko healthy. Shevchenko wont switch Tsygankov to opposite side.
      B-Malinovsky 100% starter and will have chances for set-pieces, however once again as long as Yarmolenko is healthy he is penalty-taker. Also, Malinovsky looks less dangerous with national team than in Atalanta.

      out of 1 and 2 I would go with 1. Close call

      so for me its B1

    Why so little love for Kasper on here? Save the 0.5 and double up on a very good defence

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Rather cover Italy defence than double on Denmark and Donnarumma + Kjaer/Maehle is cheaper than Schmeichel + Bonucci.

      1. Chilli Heatwave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Very good point, think unless that 4.5 starts for Italy will swap up and double Denmark in defence instead

        1. Chilli Heatwave
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          +1 allowed me to free up funds for Mount -> Wijnaldum, cheers!

        2. I Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Italy won't have a 4.5 starter unless Bonucci or Chiellini get injured. Even then it might be Acerbi who starts.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Doubling on Kjaer and Maehle - also Hradecky plays same game and is my second keeper so going Bachmann who is confirmed starter on later day for Austria at 4.5 m v North Macedonia

      1. Chilli Heatwave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Will do the same now I’m not going Patricio, need to save 0.5 somewhere though to do it

    What are people's thoughts on chip strategy?

    1. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      LL w2 WC w3

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Hmmm... I feel like with the fixtures I can easily have a good team in MD2 without using Limitless.

    2. Hktrader88
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Picking a team for MD1 and MD3 as a few teams have good fixtures in both. Limitless MD2.. WC probably for the 1/4s

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Not worried about mass rotation in MD3?

        1. Hktrader88
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Hadn't actually considered it! I guess theres a choice to WC MD3 if that happens. But also, that would require a team to win the first 2 games, and then not to really care about topping the group.... but that could happen I guess, especially as Belgium may have an easier route coming 2nd!

    3. Indpush
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Not using them otherwise boring game.

  9. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Which duo is better?

    A. Shaqiri and Wijndal
    B. Jankto and Rodriguez

  10. Chilli Heatwave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Wijnaldum or Jota? (Have Depay + Ronaldo)

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Jota

  11. Blues for Salah

    Is the COVID situation with the Spanish team changing your GW1 strategy? Seems to me that there's no way to know right now which players may or may not be impacted.

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      It's annoying because Torres x2 look good value.

      1. Blues for Salah
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I had Torres x2 and Simon and tossed them all back. Just don't want to risk the news of positive tests breaking after the GW1 deadline has passed.

        Does this also make the Sweden players potentially a sexier pick?

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Unless we hear differently rest of team tested negative so no changes to strategy for me

      1. Boydinho
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        They all tested negative yesterady thoug, not sure when next test are planned.
        Rumours in swedish press that a Swede has tested positive too, we'll know that in 20 minutes when they have their presser

      2. Blues for Salah
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        The team is bringing in extra reserves, so they aren't acting like they are completely out of the woods. As I said, I don't want to be stuck with a triple Spain allotment only to find out on the 12th that the positive tests have come in.

  12. Pep Roulette

    Can someone please tell me the teams with the worst defence (the whipping boys) & the teams with the best defence (clean sheet potential)?

    1. Society
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Scotland, right up there with the worst of the bunch ..... but ..... I hear they beat the Czechs in their last three ..... so who is actually worse ? ..... and they're in the same group.

    2. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Belgium = best
      Finland = worst

    3. Indpush
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      France - worst
      Finland - best

    Hyperlink overload.

  14. Blues for Salah
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    What say you, fellow travelers?

    Donnarumma, Hradecky
    R. Rodriguez, Kjaer, Denayer, Wijndal, Alioski
    Chiesa, Foden, Mount, Shaqiri, Yazici
    Kane, Lukaku, Depay

    1. Society
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      nice

      1. Society
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        needs a late capt

    2. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure on the treble England attack. We have really struggled to create chances lately. Kane dropping deep is worrying.
      Chiesa and Shaqiri not nailed either.
      I like your defence though.

    3. Blues for Salah
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Swapped Kane and Shaqiri out for C Ronaldo and Soucek. Thanks for the input.

  15. fenixri
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Settled on this atm, not sure what to do if Berardi doesn't start.

    Donnaruma - Bachmann
    Maehle - Kjaer - Denayer - Wijndal - P.Torres
    F.Torres - Perisic - Shaqiri - Berardi - M.Llorente
    Lukaku - Depay - C.Ronaldo

    What you think?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I would save 1 m with Donnarumma to Hradecky which gives the funds to change Berardi to Chiesa if he starts. I don't think you need that much invested in goalkeepers when we know from Austrian coach that Bachmann certain to start v N Macedonia

  16. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    As a non-English, whats with all the pessimism around England at the euros?

    Tempted to double up on both Mount and Kane at the moment... and I can’t see many with any England at all

    1. Society
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      That's coz they're old enough to bare scars ..... been burnt before.
      And it's worse this time, there's no definite xi

      1. Society
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I think Grealish will start, I love him & he's great value ..... but not touching it.

    2. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      As English, we can be painfully boring to watch. Southgate seems to blunt the creative players and flood the team with defensive minded selections. It is clear he doesnt know his best team, the starting xi probably wont have played together before so will be awkward gelling issues. The entire country wants Grealish, Mount and Foden to play, but he will probably stick with Sterling/Rashford regardless of their poor form.

      1. caldracula
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        This

    3. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Because we have the 2nd worst fans in the world. (Still a long way behind Real Madrid fans)

      It's fashionable to moan about England and particularly Southgate in this country. Despite what you always read on social media about England fans being deluded (It's coming home etc.) - It actually couldn't be further from the truth for the majority. Ask 10 random English people on the street what they think about our chances, and 8 or 9 will say something negative. Even though we have the most talented squad we've had in 15-20 years.

      If you're English, get behind your manager and your country, or support somebody else. Simple.

      1. LangerznMash
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        "or support somebody else" ... you don't just randomly pick your national team! We can still support our country and have doubts about the competence of Southgate. I have no doubt we have the most talented squad in a generation however question how Southgate will use these players effectively based on his past (poor) decisions. I'm full on England fever but not delusionally overconfident of our chances. We will likely meet a major nation from group F in the 1st knockout round (Germany to beat us on pens as always)...

    4. themaindanger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I just think there are better games to target in MD1. Croatia are a decent side ranked 11 in the world, so this will possibly be quite a cagey low scoring game. Also it's really unclear who will start in Midfield or at FB, which only leaves Kane, the CBs and GK as nailed on. I'm playing the limitless chip in MD2 and will have 3 England players for the Scotland game. I'll also bring in Kane for MD3 against Czech Rep. (as long as he's not rested).

      However for MD1 I'm steering clear of England.

    Kulusevski has tested positive on todays PCR-test
    Isolated from the Swedish camp now

  18. caldracula
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    After some slight tinkering and pending ITA line up, I think I am set.

    Schmeichel
    Rodriquez Kjaer Spinazzola
    Torres Wijnaldum Eriksen Berardi
    Immobile Lukaku Depay

    Hradecky, Mings, Nego, Torres

    1. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Limitless GW2

    2. fenixri
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Not good, Kasper and Hradecky play on same day.

      1. fenixri
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Against each other to be precise.

        1. caldracula
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          I do have 0.5 free to upgrade 2nd keeper actually.

          1. fenixri
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Do it. Because with this setup you are wasting 4.0 mil

      2. caldracula
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Not really concerned about that just fancy Denmark to get a couple of clean sheets in 1+3

  19. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    All set I think..

    Donna
    Kjaer Maehle Denayer (Winjdal Alba)
    F.Torres Berardi Mount Yazici (Zielinski)
    Lukaku Immobile (C) Ronaldo

    1. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Hradecky (sub GK)

    2. I Member

      Looks good.

  20. caldracula
    • 8 Years

    Is Krul first choice?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      No, Probably Stek

  21. MShalkz
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Which trio to run with?

    Morata, Wijnaldum and Meunier OR Depay, Ferran Torres and Denayer?

    1. caldracula

    The article on best Austrian players had Schlager as first choice (remains first-choice after starting all World Cup qualifiers this year), but this one suggests Bachmann; anyone know which is more likely? Thanks!

    1. Pukki Blinders
