    Pavard OK to start today or a doubt because of head injury?

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

      a doubt for sure

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

    Which Torres should I captain?

    Odds of Spain CS = 58%
    Odds of Ferran goal = 41%

    Is it in Pau’s favour?

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

      Gotta go the attacker right? Maybe if Pau played fullback it would be different but risky C'ing a CB

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

    Can I get away without a WC?

    Bachmann Hradecky
    P. Torres Kjaer Maehle Denayer* Risktovski
    Insigne Torres Berardi Eriksen* Nikolov
    Lukaku Ronaldo Depay

    Looking at KDB + 7m mid for Eriksen and Insigne(if he is benched)

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

      If not MD3, when would you use the WC?

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

        QF

        1. korbendallas82
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          And you have saved your LL to?

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

            No used it for MD2

            1. korbendallas82
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 9 months ago

              ok, i see. I think MD3 will be less damaging then MD2 has been. As far as predictable results, and big scores go.

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

      Depay, Lukaku, Deneyer all rotation risks

  4. Saint Tim

    Who to captain please?
    A) Ronaldo
    B) F Torres
    C) P Torres
    I’m currently on CR7. Thanks!

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years

      B

  5. korbendallas82

    2 years, 9 months ago

    Teams i want players from in MD3

    Germany-3
    Spain - 3
    Ukraine- 2
    Belgium - 1
    Italia 2 maby 3.

    That is 12 or 13.

    Any of these games you want a player:

    -Switzerland - Turkey

    -North Macedonia- Netherlands

    -Russia-Denmark

    -croatia- Scottland

    -Czech- England

    -Sweden- Polen

    Tell me if you have any good ideas.

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

      Rodriguez, Embolo, Perisic, Stones

      1. korbendallas82
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. All good names. Embolo one one goal, and i think he almost had one assist.

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

          Yeah I have Embolo out of those in my current draft. I'm finding it tough to fit in Day 2 captain though.

          1. korbendallas82
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            What about Yarmolenko or De Bruyne?

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

              Yes and yes. Eden Hazard too. Thinking Hazard gets 60 minutes and KDB 75 against Finland - enough to do serious damage.

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

              Oh sorry I meant Day 3 the day only England & Crotia have games.

              1. korbendallas82
                • 10 Years
                2 years, 9 months ago

                Yes, then i see. At least having an England defender as an option, should should things look bad after the two first days.

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

      I'm thinking of taking a flier on Donyell Malen versus North Macedonia. I think he's going to get serious minutes while Depay is rested.

      1. korbendallas82
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I have seen Malen name mentioned before. If he gets minutes, it is a good game to be involved.

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

      Only 1 Belgium? Why

      1. korbendallas82
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I just set this up now after breakfast. I needed to start nail down a team. But i am not against more players. But who, and which position are available i need to see.

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

      Like that list, is Shaqiri an option against that poor Turkey side or is there just not enough room in midfield to fit him

      1. korbendallas82
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I think the five midfield spots is gone pretty fast. But Turkey has been poor, so backing Switzerland in that game seems fine.

  6. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this LL3?

    Depay Kane Immobile
    KdB Hazard Forres Gnabry Havertz
    Alba Laporte Maehle Gosens Bonucci
    Donnarumma Courtois

    Italian line up will change accordingly when the team sheet out.
    Depay could become Malan.
    Are Alba and Courtois nailed?
    Kane should start right?

    Thanks.

    1. Calum Undisputed
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      England captain will definitely start

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

      Kane has been rubbish why would you want him? Prefer someone like Muller or Poulsen

      I am a bit worried about Spain rotation so think I’m going with just Laporte and Simon on LL

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

        Agree about Kane. England is a dumpster fire right now as far as predicting a lineup.

        I'm not so worried about Spain rotating. They need to get in a rhythm and still have work to do in the group. Feeling relatively safe with Simon, Pau Torres, and Tickle Me Olmo.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Is Simon safe though? A lot of keepers with reputation on that bench.

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

            A manager would have to be totally insane to cause a keeper controversy going into the knockout stage. *Maybe* if a team has six points going into the third game they can give the backup a start in the name of keeping him sharp, but what exactly has Simon done to lose a starting gig he's had for the last ten games in a row or so?

            1. EmreCan Hustle
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 9 months ago

              That's true.

      2. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers. Good points.

        I just want Kane because of his explosive potential. Eventually he'll have to score right?

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

          Kane is seriously failing the eye test right now. The explosive potential was there for England's first two games allegedly.

          The Titanic had the potential to make it across the Atlantic, but it's good to have a feel for when it's time to head for the lifeboats.

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            I feel it's the safety of penalties that draw me to Kane. But if I go without him I'll need someone like Perisic in the team for DAY 3.

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

      You just can't be sure about Depay. Yaremchuk?

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I like Yaremchuk a lot, but not a fan of him being subbed at around 65 mins.

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

          Ukraine is going into a game versus Austria that they have to win. Further, they have pretty clearly demonstrated that their strength is NOT grinding out a 1-0 result. I have both Yarmolenko and Yaremchuk because they are two in-form players going into a game where Ukraine MUST score goals.

          The way Kane is looking, you could give him 90 hours and he's not going to give you a return. Don't trust Southgate at all right now, and as much as I would love to see England do well in the tournament their roster is looking like a burial ground as far as fantasy returns go.

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Cheers. I'll have a look at Ukraine again.

            1. Calum Undisputed
              • 2 Years
              2 years, 9 months ago

              when ppl say Ukraine vs Austria. ppl looking at yarmo yarem.
              i see austria forward cos Ukraine defense quite shambles.

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

          Yaremchuk looks great whenever they go forward but you're right the early benching was strange. Wonder if it was tactical or to keep him fresh though

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            I don't know much about Yaremchuk beyond what I've seen in this tournament. But I know that Yarmalenko needs his minutes managed because of his terrible injury record. Maybe Yaremchuk has a similar record.

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

              Imagine being Ukraine's manager and benching Y and Y to "keep them fresh" and then losing to Austria. This is why they are both starting and staying on the pitch unless and until Ukraine have the game well in hand.

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

                It's undisputed they both start, but they lose a little appeal if they get subbed out around 60-70 minutes because the game is all but wrapped up. Can't blame the manager for doing it with their bad injury records or if they've had long seasons though

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

                  I would argue though that if they get subbed off because the game is wrapped up, then don't you already have your returns from them given that they are the prime wrappers?

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

                    I'd agree with that yes, last game was a great example of that. But another week it could be a 2/3-0 scoreline and they get subbed off without a return, much like Bale was at spurs a few times this season. Unlikely but possible

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

                      That's the tricky part about predicting future events . . . anything is possible. Based on what the tournament has shown us so far, I'd say that the likelihood that you would be satisfied with the production of Y and Y on Monday is pretty decent.

                      In the end, managing likelihood is the best we can offer.

          2. Calum Undisputed
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            i assume at least an England player cos need someone captain on the 3rd say.

            1. EmreCan Hustle
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 9 months ago

              That is my primary concern. If I don't have Kane, I'll have to go for Perisic.

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

              or just avoid the third day because there are zero good options. Why box yourself in to picking a player you think is likely to underperform so you can see that 2-pointer doubled before you change it again the next day?

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

                Disaster on the horizon unless Southgate uses Grealish as the absolute main man IMO

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

      You'd have to go some to find a player look so disinterested in winning as Kane did last night, and it's telling on the entire squad. There's no drive or zest to this England team at all, even at Wembley at the tail end of a pandemic. He deserves to be dropped, pronto.

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

        It's genuinely starting to look like Kane, Foden, and Sterling are conspiring to drive Kane's transfer price down. Cue the conspiracy theories . . .

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

          Could work, I suppose. Might come out vs the Czechs with a shirt three sizes too small, looking like an imbecile, and just start licking the ball.

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

            There is no amount of scotch that is going to get that image out of my mind.

    Latest MD3 Draft (WC active)

    Safonov, Simon
    R. Rodriguez, Spinazzola*, Dumfries, Gosens, Pau Torres
    Chiesa*, Yarmolenko, KDB, Eden Hazard, Olmo
    Yaremchuk, Malen, Müller

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

    Braithewaite time

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

      Is he nailed? I'm interested in him for my 7m striker slot.

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

        Yep, he is.

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

        Hopefully its alongside Yaremchuk rather than in place of him.

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

          Yes it's alongside him.
          I like Arnie also but not sure if he'll start.

          Will have one 8m striker also probably Embolo or Bellotti.

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

            Not getting Mueller?

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

              I don't have him atm because I'm on Hazard + KDB + Gnabry so money is tight. But my mind could change after watching the Germany play.

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

            "not sure he will start" is wringing in my ears from all corners of the football planet atm. (smile)

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

      I like this call. Not doing it myself, but all the elements are there for this to be one tasty prognostication!

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

    Not having a premium forward line really helps other part of the team.

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

      Definitely. But this is probably the only Matchday you go without a premium striker and it may not hurt as bad.

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

        Yeah, we will probably be forced to get them due to lack of cheap options.

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

    A lot of the posts today and tomorrow will be about the teams for tomorrow.
    The bottom line is getting a decent team out. Rotation or momentum will the big questions.
    Start with a good chance of playing; those who still need the points.
    Ukraine, England, Germany group etc. A lot of uninspiring picks TBH, even using a chip!
    IMO you can get away with not having a chip for the last 8 but it is the team left over for the semis that will matter. 5 subs gives you 5 sure starters but planning from round of 16 is forcing your hand to pick probable teams who advance to last 4. This takes away all luxury picks.
    I really have no idea what to do after messing around with drafts with a chip or not.
    Let me know what the boys/girls are planning. I need help!

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

      yep....van Malen/Embolo up top!
      sprinkle with some Jermans.

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

        Any inspiring Jermans?

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

      I'm trying to pick as many players from 1st game of the day as possible, atleast the substitution I make will be a starter.

      Double Italy/Swiss/Ukraine/Belgium and triple Germans atleast ensures that I can manage to field 11 starters.

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

        Probably my take. Is it worth it when the WC chip could pay dividends in the QF? I would have to use it.

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

          If you can delay WC, go for it. Ideal strategy.

          If team is bad with too many rotation risks and injuries, I dont see the need to save WC for later stage.

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

            Its like living a champagne lifestyle and realizing later you don't have a pension.(smile)

    WC MD3 ACTIVE

    Schmeichel
    Meunier Gosens Spinna RRodriguez
    Yarmolenko Alaba Berardi KDB
    Yaremchuk Embolo
    (Simon Gnabry Muller PTorres)

    Thoughts??

    2x Belgium
    2x Italy
    2x Ukraine
    2x Swiss
    3x Germany

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

      KDB (?)
      Wait for kick off
      Yarmo (Yaremchuk)
      Embolo (Nobody inspiring)
      Muller for club form (A defender maybe?)
      Not sold on anything TBH

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

        Martinez said KDB will start. Ukraine need to win and have shown impressive form going forward. Im not convinced on Embolo but Swiss need a win.

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

          I really want to roll the dice on Eden Hazard in addition to KDB. Why not go for the big score given that we're basically playing for fun?

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

            I’ve got £250 on the line in my ML

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

              In that case, picking Eden might be a bit too Hazard-ous

                Tubby boy should get a start. Why would he go to the Euros otherwise? The tam might disagree though.

                  "Why would he go to the Euros otherwise?" Your argument will apply to all 26 x 24 players at the Euros.

                    There are two comments in my post. (Team not tam sorry) What I was trying to say is he is a lazy unfit player who is there due to his talent. I don't think you can apply every squad as being the same as Hazard.

                      It sounds like you are saying, if they took him, they have to start him. No questions about his talent though.

                        My bad. misunderstanding. He is the type of player the manager will be pressurised to play due to talent. Similar to Maguire situation IMO.

            Havertz is a more fun pick than Eden.

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

              Will keep an eye on Havertz and Gnabry today to determine their relative appeal. Definitely safer and sounder options than Hazard.

          Ukraine should go through with a draw too.

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

        I'd just add to this that R Rodriguez for Switzerland is a potentially huge pick. Turkey's attack doesn't inspire, so to have the opposition's attacking FB who is also on penalties seems a decent roll of the dice . . . especially since he plays the first day and there's ample opportunity to replace if the Swiss concede.

        I don't see three "must have" Germans either, but I'm not at all familiar with Gnabry so I could be wrong.

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

          Rodders a good call. Went under the radar with me, probably due to my bias towards the "big sides" Gnabry good country form but I don't really fancy any of them. Expensive too.

      gamble with dutch vs NMac

      1. DAZZ

        Malen?

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

          yeah think so

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

            What about Embolo v Muller?

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

              not sure. I would gamble on Embolo or Italian striker(we will get line ups)

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

                Yeah can gamble on Belotti if he plays.

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

              Muller. The Germans could be looking at a "must win and must win big" scenario against Hungary on day 3. Have to wait and see what happens against Portugal, but if Germany loses that match they have to go full throttle and rack up goal differential in an effort to squeak through on three points.

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

          That's what my spider sense has been telling me.

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

          Seems a good gamble. Their idiot manager is a worry though.

    Used LL in MD2. Can I get through MD3 without using WC? I would like to save it for QF

    Donna Bachmann
    Spina Denayer PTorres Maehle Kjaer
    Eriksen Perisic Berardi FTorres Alaba
    Lukaku Moreno Ronaldo

    1. Holmes

      Depends how many hits you are willing to take.

      If your Italy players start, that will be helpful. Midfield and defense looks fine, just need to change Eriksen.

      Something like Ronaldo-Eriksen to Mueller-Kevin can set your team nicely.

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

        Didnt even consider moving Ronaldo out. I was thinking maybe Lukaku and Eriksen for Yaremchuk and KDB

  13. SpaceCadet

    WC this lot or save?

    Donnarumma hradecky
    denayer wijndal maehle torres alioski
    eriksen Torres mount zielinski berardi
    Depay lukaku immobile

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

      WC imo, 4 of the mids has to be changed, maybe all 3 forwards as well.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years

        Leaning towards that, cheers

    Who is likely to be on set-piece duties if Insigne isnt starting?

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

      Not sure, maybe Jorginho takes everything

  15. Swans3aJ4ck

    Current team post LL GW2.

    Bach / Hrad
    Denayer / Spin / Alioski / Mæhle / P Torres
    Eriksen / Alaba / Berardi / Soucek / F Torres
    Depay / Ronaldo / Lukaku

    I’m thinking 2 transfers plus 1 hit might be ok?

    1. Swans3aJ4ck
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Hadn’t finished!

      I appreciate there will be rotation but no one really knows do they!!

      I’m thinking Bach / Eriksen / Depay —> Neuer / Yarm / someone (schick?)

      Thoughts?

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

      Won't take a hit.. -4 is quite the price to pay in such a short format esp on a GK

  16. KGFC

    Guys best captain option today

    1. Mbappe
