    Was going go for meunier or Castagne but it’s a gamble for which one starts, so who’s the best replacement doesn’t have to be Belgium??

    For people that have berardi, what are your plans if he isn’t in team sheet tonight? Any direct replacements? Is Jorginho a good option

      I was about to ask the same question.
      Would be great if the replacement is in the same price range as I have zero in the bank.

      I'll bring in Yazici for €0.5m less if he starts, if not then probably Alaba, not seeing many options available for exactly €6m.

    3. JLAEST
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Jorginho for me

    4. Henning
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      1 m in the bank for that.

    Subject to Italy line up think settled on this team for MD 1. A couple of risks here (Foden and Arnautovic and no Ronaldo) but depth of squad should cover and I don't expect to be needing to put captaincy on Ronaldo in round 5.

    Any feedback welcome. Particularly if you think better to go 1 Insigne and Alaba over 2 Berardi Foden which is fall back anyway if no Berardi in line up tonight?

    Hradecky
    Spinazzola Maehle Denayer Wijndal
    Eriksen Foden* Baradi* (1)
    Lukaku (2) Depay (3) Arnaiutovic

    Schmeichel Jota (5) F Torres (4) P Torres

    Ryan Fraser is a starter for Scotland?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years

      Not nailed no

    Gtg? De ligt a doubt maybe

    Hradecky
    Cancelo, De Ligt, Kjaer, Denayer, Alioski
    Insigne(c), Yazici
    Ronaldo, Lukaku, depay

    Szczesny, kimmich, Jota, Nego

    1. KingRichud
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Holland have a good wingback. Pick him instead of de ligt. £1m cheaper. Wijndal

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

    First two matchdays only...

    A. Jankto (SCO, CRO)
    B. Soucek “ “
    C. Dan James (SWI, TUR)

  7. fenixri

    Gtg?

    Donnaruma - Bachmann
    Spinazzola - Kjaer - Maehle - Denayer - PTorres
    Eriksen - FTorres - Berardi - Alaba - M.Llorente
    Lukaku - Depay - Ronaldo

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

      Is Llorente any good for fantasy points? Isn't Donna and Bachmann a bit pricey?

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

        Llorente is best for that price and I dont want Nego. What other good GK rotation is there?

        1. azz007
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Italy double up risky. Turkey could score. Get rui

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

        Yep, Llorente is maybe best value from mid thus playing defender.

  8. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    If you had to pick 3 defenders who would you choose?

    Bonucci, meunier, Castagne, Torres, cancelo

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

      Cancelo Bonucci and Torres

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

      Cancelo, Bonucci, Torres. Definitely not Castagne.

  9. Steager
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    A) Gosens and puchacz

    or

    B) Denayer and P Torres

    1. JLAEST

      Thoughts ? Considering if I need someone from MD5, but can’t really fit it

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

      Also thinking if I trust the two Spanish…

    3. Henning

  11. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years

    A. Chiesa or Berardi…?
    B. Ronaldo or Bruno…?

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

      Berardi but you’ll see who starts. Neither for me - but Ronaldo if I had to pick

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

      Berardi Ronaldo easily

    3. Henning
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Berardi and Ronaldo

    Hi guys! My team is almost ready, but I could use some help. LL in MD2 and WC QF. So this squad is for MD1 and MD3.

    Midfield: Eriksen and Torres are in (and probably Nego as cheap bench option). Now I want to choose two players of this list:
    A) Wijnaldum
    B) Mount
    C) Insigne
    D) Berardi
    E) Jota
    F) Soucek
    Which one would you choose?

    Defense:
    At the moment I have: Donnarumma / Hradecky /// Alba / Spinazzola / Maehle / Kjaer / Cancelo
    Thoughts? Someone out or in?

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

      I have a simile plan and I’m on Berardi and Soucek (+ Alaba) to allow me to go top heavy

  13. Redranger
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Which one?

    A) Depay
    B) Immobile (I have Insigne)

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

      A

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

      Depay. Is in good form with 7 goals and 3 assists in 7 matches for Holland. Immobile doesn't score a lot for Italy.

    3. jayzico
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Not B

  14. The Wanton Trader
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I’m not entirely convinced I’ll keep track of this game all the way to the final, but I’m going to give it to… 🙂

    How’s this for a start…

    Schmeichel
    Bonucci/Pepe/Denayer
    Insigne(c)/Bale/Bruno/Tielemans/FTorres
    Ronaldo/Arnautovic

    Hradecky/Varga/Rodon/Alioski

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

      Pepe Bruno and Ronaldo in that group? Even with LL2 seems to much for me. I’d take Bruno out and upgrade Arnautovic and the other FW

      1. The Wanton Trader
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks for that…
        I was targeting that first fixture mainly.

        1. azz007
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Exactly target the first fixture. Ll2 and wc3 no issues.

          Noone can.tell you what's right. Depends on your strategy.

          1. azz007
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            You can essentially have 3 different teams for all. Group stage matches.

          2. The Wanton Trader
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            I have no set strategy exactly, but will probably just play as I see it…

  15. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Immobile 5-1 for 3 shots on target.

    Hmmm

  16. Horlicks esq.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Those talking Beradi - It looks like he is playing this eve.

    Who is a better threat. Jota or Bruno Fernandes?

  17. Steager
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Best 6m or less midfielder?
    A) Elmas
    B) Jankto
    C) Alaba
    D) Someone else. Please suggest.

    Thanks

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

      Alaba for me. Against Macedonia he might get some returns

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

      I like Jorginho because of pens. For 5.5 I guess Alaba is the best bet, although I don't expect much from him

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

      Elmas

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

      Jankto i guess.

  18. cemal
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    RMT please, I've tried to mainly pick from teams in easy groups

    Krul (Hradecky)
    Laporte, Tierney, Wijndal (Pau Torres, Coufal)
    Alaba, Tielemans, Soucek, Insigne
    Kane, Lukaku, Immobile

  19. cigan
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Ristovski & Berardi/Jorginho
    or
    Elioski & Alaba?

    1. cigan
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Alioski that is*

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

      The first One with Berardi

  20. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Ronaldo/Lukaku/Depay
    Eriksen/Wijnaldum/Alaba/Berardi
    Kjaer/Denayer/Wijnal
    Donnaruma

    Hradecky/Cancelo/Allioski/Nego

    G2g..?

    1. cigan
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A lot like mine. Obviously bench CR7 for Alioski for now tho

      1. Taegugk Warrior
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        When you plan to LL & WC…?

        1. cigan
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah. LL in gw2 for sure, then reevaluate but probably wildcard as 3rd round teams usually look different with some teams already through or having nothing to play for

  21. Nespinha
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    RMT , playing limitless in GW2

    Bachmann, Hradecky
    Spinazzola, Maehle, Pau Torres, Wijndal, Denayer
    Eriksen, Sabitzer, Torres, Berardi, Nego
    Lukaku, Ronaldo, Depay

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

    Almost set, best budget mid combo for MD1 & 2 only?

    A. Yazici + Dan James
    B. Jankto + Berardi (already have Insigne)
    C. Yazici + Berardi

    1. jayzico

    Donnaruma hradecky

    Ptorres wjandal denayer kjaer maehle

    FTorres Erickson insigne Alaba nego

    Cr7 depay lukaku

    Double up on Denmark defence worth the risk or spread the joy? Would have to be for a 4.5 def

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

      I have trippel att the moment

  24. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    The real dilemma is CR7 vs Arnautovic for me.

    Arnautovic plays Macedonia and having Arnautovic allows me to spend much more on midfield.

    Also CR7s captain appeal is slightly diminished by the fact he's playing on the last day (most likely wont switch the armband to him)

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

      Arnie may not be 100% fit and Austria have been very poor. Regardless if you captain Ronaldo or not he’s still getting you points, and you can aim higher with your other captains as you know if they don’t work out that Ronaldo will deliver

      Easily Ronny for me

    2. jayzico
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      That's his main appeal for me. Risk or reward for all CR7 holders. Exciting. Though I may twist if a previous dude gets a brace/hatrick.

    3. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Something to think about. The Captaincy value is massively diluted because you can change it up to 5 times. Therefore points per million, with the added issue of no bonus points must be key to picking a side. Defenders earn more PPM generally and the bench counts so money is diluted even more. Generally avoid big hittersIMO

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

        Agree.

        Think gameweek scores will be very tightly distributed compared to FPL. Imagine your FPL team if you could shed the worst 3 scores and pick the best captain score out of 5 players (its not quite like this but its close). It cuts down the variance massively.

        All the template and AvB questions are kind of a moot point because there are a multitude of viable combinations that will get to a "good" gameweek score.

    @ARTVANDELAY316 brought in Insigne(c) now.

    Let the games begin.

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

    Last minute checkup -

    Game specific:
    - Put the captains armband on whoever is playing on day 1, even if you think its a bad option, you can always change it.
    - Make sure you have at least 1 player to captain each day
    - Make sure the players playing last are the ones on the bench so you can sub them in for your worst performers.
    - Leave your subs until the last possible minute. information is valuable.

    Team composition:
    - Don't have two keepers playing on the same day.
    - Make sure you have a good bench playing on the final 1-2 days (nailed options unless they are featuring in the early kickoff).
    - Make sure your entire bench isnt Spanish else you may not have one!

    Lastly, remember its just a game. The real winner is international tournament football is back. Enjoy the EUROs!

    1. jayzico
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'd add to that. Put the (c) on risky differentials for first two games - if you've a strong md capt 3,4 and 5

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

        Very good point. It can be generalised
        - Weak links, differentials and punts, or non-nailed should play early rather than late.

        e.g. Hdarecky before your other keeper.

    Posted on last article...

    What is the consensus on chips usage? Last time I checked most people were going for LL MD2, WC QF due to risk of losing players in RO16, but now I see more people going with all the chips in group stages?

    1. jayzico
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      2 free transfers MD2
      LL MD3
      WC QF

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Standard.

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

      LL2, WCQF is a fantasy. The thinking is you can have the best of both worlds (MD2 upside & KO security) without any downside. It wont work out like that in practice.

      There are two realistic strategies - the Hare & the Tortoise.
      1. LL2, WC3. Maximise group stages, either play RD16 defensively, or continue to maximise and gamble on calling RD16 correctly.
      2. LL3, WCQF. Setup for MD1&2, hope you dont lose too much ground. Can afford to be more aggressive in RD16.

  28. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I see Flex is leaving the United Stand. Always liked him but anyone must go mad dealing with Goldbridge. What a self centred axse the man is. He goes on about the Glazers making football a business but he lives off them himself! What a pain!

  29. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years

    Nego or yazici..?

    1. Kun Tozser

      Yazici

  30. nick8070
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Upgrade F Torres to Insigne? I have 0.5 in the bank.

    That leaves me with too many Italians... what to do with Donnarumma, Spinazzola, Berardi?

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

      Donna --> Patricio
      Spina --> Cancelo
