    Im sorted. Anyone I can help?

    1. Warby84
      • 8 Years

      Schmeichel
      Kjaer Maehle Denayer Wijndal Bonuccii
      Mount Yazici Berardi (Soucek Torres)
      Immobile (c1) Lukaku (c2) (Ronaldo)

      What are your thoughts? Not too keen on Mason Mount, so I could take Ronaldo out for Kane and upgrade Mount?

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

        Ronaldo Immobile Mount —-> Kane Depay Insigne??

        Just down grade mount? Lots of faith in Denmark CS? Personally think Immobile needs to go for someone cheaper...will solve Mount problem.

        Lukako to depay and Mount to Eriksen?

        1. Warby84
          • 8 Years

          Maehle to P.Torres??

        All in with Italy. Thats different.
        Dont like Mount personally.

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Who for Mount? Have 0.5 in cash.

    3. Stranger Mings

      I am a bit confused when to play limitless and wildcard as I see people appear to be playing these MD2 and MD3, but isn’t it better to try to save as long as possible if team doing well or am I missing something?!

      Berardi escape plan?

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Jorginho

  2. Kvelertak
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on Jota? Didn't watch the game last night, but off at half time with notting to show for.

    Is he now a risk for gw1?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      no idea, but I'm not taking that risk.

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

      Yes, switched him for Bernardo as I don’t need another rotation risk in my team

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Think Bernardo is a better option for sure

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

    Final draft, aRMT

    Donnaruma - Bachmann
    Spinazzola - Maehle - Kjaer - Denayer - P.Torres
    Eriksen - F.Torres - Berardi/Jorginho - Alaba - Llorente
    Lukaku - Depay - Ronaldo

    Not happy with Alaba but there are no options for that price. (Don't want Nego)

    Thinking to C Eriksen instead of Lukaku on day2 because I have Ronaldo as fail-safe.

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

      One Llorente had positive covid test, make sure it's not yours.

      Otherwise, good to go!

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

        Its not, this is Marcos. He looked really good in friendly against Portugal, could easily have assist if Morata wasn't Morata.

  4. Reckoner.
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Think I'm set, thoughts:

    Hradecky | Bachmann
    P.Torres | Maehle | Denayer | Wijndal | Alioski
    Wijnaldum | F.Torres(4) | Berardi(1) | Soucek | Elmas
    Ronaldo(5) | Kane(3) | Lukaku(2)

  5. Holding Matip
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Couple of differentials in what I think is my final team:

    Bachmann - Hradecky
    Hinteregger - P. Torres - Maehle - Kjaer - Wijndal
    Eriksen - McGinn - Berardi - F. Torres - B. Fernandes
    Immobile - Giroud - Depay

    Plan is to LL MD3 and WC after QFs

    Improvements?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      nice, cool being different.

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

      Nice differentials but I think Giroud is a step too far

      1. Holding Matip
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Benzema is injured and the man scores goals for France for fun, no brainer at the value I had left for my remaining striker

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

          Benz just suffered a knock, game is on Tuesday so should be fine by then

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

    Hrad
    Kjaer Maele Denayer Porres
    Berardi Carrasco Alaba Forres
    Lukaku Depay
    Simon Pepe Jota Ronny

  7. FPL_Pugster
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Final Draft
    Limitless- MD2
    Wildacrd or Hold - MD3

    Stekelenburg/Hradecky
    Spinazzola - Maehle - Alioski - Denayer - P.Torres
    Eriksen - F.Torres - Insigne - Alaba - Mount
    Lewondowski - Lukaku - Kalajdzik

    Will (C) Insigne D1 - Lukaku D2 - Kala D3 - Lewondowski D4 if none return their previous day.

    GTG? Any advice would be great

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

      I’d be cautious captaining Kala, apparently there’s talks that only one of Kala/Arnie will start as they’ve never played together before

      1. FPL_Pugster
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        He is just that day option as don't have another for that day. Likely other days will return so just an option really. With Arnie doubt for MD1 I think he's a good pick when you consider the chip strat?

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Stek probably not gonna start nor will Kalajdzik.

      But I like the other picks. You don't have a Day 5 player either. That group has a lot of potential that you'd be unwise to avoid imo. Ronaldo, Jota, Cancelo/Dias all interesting options.

      1. FPL_Pugster
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Most thing im hearing from Dutch fans is that Stek will get the nod, he's been given the no1 as squad number no?

        Arnie is unlikely to be fit MD1 and considering I'm Limit MD2 and WC MD3 Kala is a punt that enables rest of the squad.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          I don't even like Stekelenburg if he starts. Dutch defense is kack and Ukraine are the best other side in the group.

          Bachmann? Might lean heavy on Austria.

  8. Nando7
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    A) Beradi Ferran
    B) Insgine Alaba

    *Other mids are eriksen and jota,
    *Option B also needs a bench 4.0 Mid

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

      A for me

    2. Aubamazette
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A easy

  9. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Does anyone have a concrete chip plan they plan to use or are a lot of people still undecided as of when to play their chips?

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I have same issue as confused !

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

      Imo it’s good to decide now, chip strategies should influence what your team looks like going into MD1

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I know I should plan ahead but I still have the old school FPL mentality of not planning chips/transfers in advance and taking it a game at a time basically

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yes. I've decided on Limitless MD3. I can plan a nice team for 2 matchdays no problem.

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I like the idea of playing it in MD3 but are you worried about possible rotation with players from teams who have already wrapped up first and second in their group for instance, or have you put that into consideration

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          I don't understand...

          If I have a limitless in MD3 I pick the players with something to play for.

          1. Thomas Magnum
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            So say a France or Belgium have locked up top spot come md3 you would ignore their players?

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

              I think in that scenario you would avoid France (play Portugal) but punt on some of the fringe players of Belgium (play Finland) who could score quite big - e.g. Benteke/Batman.

            2. Camzy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              2 years, 9 months ago

              Probably skip France, yeah. Belgium vs Finland is a bit too nice to pass up. Will see. Maybe Hazard gets a run out...

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Limitless MD3. Wildcard QF.

      1. Holding Matip
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        This is the correct answer

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          There's plenty of ways to try it.

      2. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Nice, what lead you to to decide on playing them then?

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Prob from playing UCL, but in that I'd always WC for GW3 because a lot of the bigger clubs would play the lower ranked clubs home and away in GW3 and GW4. I'd start off targeting players for GW1 and 2 knowing I can lose plenty of them for GW3 and not take hits. Then limitless for GW6 just before the last 16 knockout wildcard round because a lot of lineups were unpredictable due to teams already through playing weakened teams, weaker teams fighting for EL slots, so there was a small potential for getting players with attacking potential that anyone not using limitless or wildcard would need to take hits for. Plylus there were a nice number of free hits in knockout rounds after round of 16. Not saying I was any good at UCL but I knew the rules fairly well and this game is a lot easier to play than FPL but rules more similar to UCL. Here I think Limitless is wasted for QF because your team resets. Using WC you can hedge your team for QF and get past final with At least 11 players without hits. Not a bad plan to see if there will still be 4m players in your last squad after your chips are used. Even with 5m extra it might help you build a better team.

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

      LL2, WC3. I think you have to fully commit to that if on LL2, trying to setup a team with half an eye to MD3 is just fooling yourself.

      The game is 4 free hits imo with the last one putting a bit of care into the selection to setup for the KOs (i.e. probably no triple ups)

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah this is probably the best way. But I'm gonna try to not have to Limitless in MD2. Saving it for MD3 has some interesting benefits.

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

          Personally I feel like LL in GW3 could end in tears. You can have a high amount of expensive players already through at that point. The 8-10m bracket strikers, the 6-9mil midfielders and the 5m defenders could be the ones to target. The WC'ers in GW3 can afford the same team the GW3 LL are targeting.

          I am on LL GW2 and WC GW3

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah there's less value in the Limitless in MD3 for the budget restrictions. But I'm not gonna get blinded by the prices of players.

            The main advantage of this strat is the WC for QFs. If there are a lot of Ro16 upsets (England could play France) 3 transfers will make fielding a team yet alone a good one, extremely difficult.

            The value is in the WC in QF not the Limitless in MD3.

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

      LL2, WC QF

      There are nice fixture for some teams I dont want to own in MD1 or MD3 like Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, Sweden, Croatia and France. Picking talismans and defence players from these teams plus world class players like KDB to cover major teams is a good way to use LL chip

      I can see appeal of LL in MD3 but most of the lineups will be guessing game. In MD2 everyone will still play to win with their first lineups.

      If I have major upset before MD3 or falling behind in mini league I can still use WC and fix things, but would rather save it for QF.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        This isn't gonna work. Your MD1 team is not gonna be good for MD3 realistically.

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

          Yes but if you are using LL in MD3 it means that in either MD1 or MD2 your team wont be good. I will rather focus on MD1 where many teams has good MD1 and MD3 fixture.

          Before MD3 we will all have same problem of guessing lineups. Some will qualify, some will not, who knows, maybe Lukaku will play against Finland. If you want great teams across all three MDs than you must use all chips in group stage and praythat you picked right players for QFs.

          Also if you look in previous tournaments MD3 is always full of surprises. Belgium could rotate their players for MD3, but do you think that Batsuyashi will score brace?

          I think that using LL in MD3 is a waste. If that is a strategy than rather use LL in MD2 and WC in MD3.

  10. YoungPretender

    RMT;

    Hradecky Bachman
    Kjaer Maehle Denayer Wijnal P.Torres
    Elmas Berardi Eriksen Carrasco F.Torres
    Lukaku Depay Ronaldo

  11. BigAsGiroud_
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Which combo? LL in MD2
    A) Schmeichel + Cancelo + Olmo
    or
    B) Bachmann + Spinazzola + F.Torres

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

      B

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

      B

  12. Aubamazette
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Olmo or Wijnaldum?

    1. FPL_Pugster
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Olmo looks nailed in the Spain squad to me, but Gigi offers more attack than he does for Liverpool. Genuine 50/50 that put id go Olma

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

        Olmo is far from nailed, Oyarzabal is projected to start according to many sources

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

          Can you provide me with any of these sources please?

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

            Drafthound is probably the most reliable one out there - Olmo isn’t in it

            https://www.drafthound.com/football/euros/predicted-lineups/

      2. Aubamazette
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        If I knew netherlands were playing 433 I’d deffo pick wijnaldum, I think they’re playing 532 in which he doesn’t get forward as much. Olmo nailed idk? I do think he plays but prone to early sub that’s the problem

    Spain have called up an additional 11 players to their "parallel bubble" amid concerns that more first-team squad members could test positive for COVID-19. They join the likes of Kepa, Carlos Soler, Pablo Fornals and Rodrigo Moreno, who arrived earlier this week.

      Noice. Avoiding spain vs Sweden other than Pau.

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

        Why? This is good news, game unlikely to be called off

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Maybe, but who knows who will test positive over the weekend. Besides, cant imagine that their training is going well.

      2. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I really want Ferran.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Its complicated...

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I have 2 x Torres and there aren't any better options than those two in their price brackets.

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          F torres can easily be changed to someone cheaper ?

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            I'm not so keen about the 7m mids. Feels like a lottery. Zielinski, Malinovskyi, Mount, Carrasco all seem like average picks.

            1. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              2 years, 9 months ago

              Spread funds for Isigne? Only 0.5m short.

              1. Karan14
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 9 months ago

                Have him already.
                Funds are very tight. It'll have to be Wijnaldum or a cheaper mid.

                1. Christina.
                  • 14 Years
                  2 years, 9 months ago

                  There is always a way.

        2. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          I think replacing Pau is easy.

          Ferran is tricky one. That spot can be used for one week punts. Like Eriksen for GW1 and then switch to Calhagnolu or someone like that. Replacing him with some 6m mid and getting a better 3rd forward or defense can also work.

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

          I’m thinking something like Ferran to Insigne and Berardi to Yazici/Alaba if it comes to it

    3. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'm avoiding Spain I think.

      I feel like going with 1-2 players from Spain forces you into picking 2-3 from Portugal.
      Imagine getting the news that Torres got Covid after the GW deadline. Just a load of cash for nothing.
      P. Torres is damn easy to replace. Sweden is not one of the worst teams anyway.

      F. Torres would be scary not to own though

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

      If I ditch F.Torres I am losing viable Captain for MD4.

    If there's going to be rotation in MD3 it's not like using the WC or LL will help us. We still won't know the line ups and will be guessing who starts and who doesn't.

    For eg if Belgium & Netherlands have qualified how can we be so sure the like Lukaku, Depay etc will be benched?

    What are the pros of using a LL/WC for MD3 over MD2? I really don't see any.

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

      For starters, we will get the lineups of 4 teams before deadline, whereas we only get 2 teams before MD2 deadline. Secondly, the benefit of MD3 is target teams that aren’t safe, and will go all out in attempt to qualify and/or finish first in their groups. So say Netherlands are already qualified then LL3 get the ability to leave them out of their teams as their lineups will be unpredictable, whereas those not playing a chip will be stuck with these players and powerlessly hoping they start.

      Whilst the big teams have very favourable MD1 & 3 fixtures, how many of them will actually field their strongest team in MD3 when they already safe? I say not many

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I only want players from 1 out of those 4 teams honestly and will already be tripled up on them.

        If Depay (MKD) & Lukaku (FIN) start non will need big sofas.

        I just don't see much upside in it tbh. Quite possible your original teams outscore LL team if you risk selling big hitter like these.

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

          Italy, Belgium, Holland, Spain, England

          A good chunk of these teams could already be qualified by MD3... and I have 2 from each except England (1). Heading to MD3 with no chip is too risky for me. Also, whos to say teams do well in MD2? Targeting fixtures won’t always work in a game of such variance.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      While Belgium might have nothing to play for, Germany probably do vs Hungary. There are gonna be lots of teams with something to play for. Using a WC or Limitless on MD3 to target those lesser teams with high motivation seems worthwhile.

      And because your MD1 team is also very likely to have a number of duds. You're not gonna get it completely right. There will be random lineup changes, injuries, covid whatever.

    3. Dr. Rog

      For those who understand options:

      LL2 is like buying a call
      LL3 is like selling a put

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

        and the premium in this case is KO safety (which can be thought of as a couple of transfer hits 4-8pts).

      2. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Kind of agree with that. But in this format I'd rather buy the call than sell the put.

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

          actually they are probably both call options, thinking about the profiles. point remains the same though - if you think about it 3/4 of the games are in the groups and thats where all the imbalances are, it makes full sense to go all out on those, especially as the premium is just 4-8pts of hits.

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

      Another thing, jumping from MD1 to MD3 with only 2 FTs could be a serious challenge when you factor in injuries, suspensions, covid, rotation and surprise lineups

    5. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Same. Using LL in MD2. Anyways you will get 2 FTs in MD3

    So, just to be clear, and players I think didn’t perform I can sub out with my bench players between each day?

    In that case:
    Donnarumma
    Celik - Kjaer - Denayer - Hinteregger
    Berardi (c) - Eriksen - Klaassen - Soucek
    Lukaku - Depay

    Bench:
    Hradecky- F Torres - Bereszynski - Ronaldo (probable C if none of my other picks work out)

  21. Chilli Heatwave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Not convinced Wijndal will keep a CS, so the question turns to is allioski a better attacking option?

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

      I went Alioski.

      1. Chilli Heatwave

        Thanks, am very tempted by this

    What is the template chip strategy?

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

      LL MD2, WC QF.

      But I’m not buying the template this time. LL MD3 for me

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Cool - thanks 🙂

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

      A) LL2, 2FT, WC, WC
      B) LL2, WC, WC, 3FT
      C) 2FT, LL3, WC, WC

      In my view, A doesnt really exist in practice. Its B vs C.

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

        B is by far the best in my eyes.

    3. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      LL GW2 and WC GW3 will be very popular.
      If you don't mess up the extra wildcard in GW4 those who have saved the WC for GW5 will have a hard time catching you I think.

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

        There are 52 games in the tournament. The QF onwards is only 8 of those, and at that point they tend to be hard to call anyway.

        In the RD16, everyone will go with the big hitters from France, Italy, Belgium etc (many will avoid Eng vs Portugal and then jump onto them with WC/FTs) and as long as the KOs follow the likely script then the teams will be convergent and the WCQF will be redundant.

        The problem is if there is a shock in the RD16 and a well backed team such as France or Belgium gets knocked out. Then WCQF'ers could get an advantage over those who blew their chips in the groups.

    Hi all,

    any thoughts on this team please?

    CAKIR

    YILMAZ / DE LIGHT / DENAYER / WIJNDAL

    F.TORRES / TIELEMANS / INSIGNE

    RONALDO / LUKAKU / DEPAY

    SUBS: HRADECKY / P. TORRES / NEGO / JOTA

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

      Ukraine is likely to score, double Dutch defence is odd. Downgrade De Light to Denmark defender and upgrade Tielemans to Carrasco.

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

        thak you. Much appreciated. I promise you this. de light will be one of the stars and will score at least two goals.

        I think holland will keep more clean sheets than most

    2. Christina.

    3. Camzy

      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yilmaz in defense! I'd like that!

      Needs work imo. It's a no-go on Nego. This format really favors having a good bench.

      Downgrade one or both of Insigne or Jota.

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

        ok, thank you. Have done alaba for Nego. Chiesa for insigne and Boilesen of denmark in to defence. Does that work?

        I have kept jota. I think he will be fresh and portugal looked good last night

  24. Warby84

  25. Tomsk

    Is Sterling likely to start? Was thinking of taking a flyer with him as seems to perform better for England lately.

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

      Wouldn’t go there

  27. Rohirrims
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Best 5.5 or lower mid? Alaba & Yazici seem the only decent ones.

    Think prior to team news will have only 2 choices to make depending on starts:-
    A) Berardi + F Torres
    B) Insigne + Yazici

    1. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      B

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

      Yep same here, A will be my first choice if Berardi starts and Spain don’t get any more positives

      1. Rohirrims
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Cheers, my thinking too currently.

  28. DrexciyaXI
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Been tinkering non stop for days but think I'm GTG on this:

    Donnarumma / Bachmann
    Spinazzola / Maehle / Denayer / Wijndal / P.Torres
    Eriksen / Malinovskyi / Alaba / Jorginho / Gundogan
    Kane / Yilmaz / Ronaldo

    Chip strategy is to not use any until knock outs but if it all goes south the option is still there. I plan to use only one transfer for MD2 (Alaba - Yazici) so that I can carry one over into MD3 giving me 3 transfers to cover injuries, resting, suspensions, etc.. I think enablers are a waste of a sub so used some value picks but also tried to target the main man / playmaker in each team. It's quite templatey but

    1. The Italian player selection depends on the line up and I could go Bonucci or Berardi instead. The Italian defense at home is the safest bet in this competition IMO.
    2. Kane is expensive but can easily be transferred for practically anyone if he or England look poor.
    3. Trying to avoid group of death players who are tempting because of the Hungary fixture but too risky otherwise.
    4. No double Danish defence as Belgium and Russia can also score in Copenhagen.
    5. Avoiding Spain as much as possible due to Covid and cost of nailed players but they have the easiest run of fixtures IMO.

    Cheers

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

      Agreed with all your 5 points but not your chip strategy. Very limited upside with not using any chips in the group stages - it’s where you gain the most ground. You may fall too far behind by the time the knockouts come.

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

        Thanks, what do you think about WC in MD2 to target plum fixtures? I'm assuming LL is better in knockouts when only top players are left so limitless means no compromise whereas WC would still have budget limit?

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

          the team reverts after LL, so you will have a load of KO'd players

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

            Got it. So LL MD2 for me looks the best option and WC in QF. Thanks

    Yazici or Alaba? Leaning towards Alaba since Italy don't concede many & will probs go LL the following match.
