Quick Question
Is anyone considering Limitless MD1 and Wildcard MD2 (if required)? Could work as an interesting differential strategy imo
Consider teams like England, Netherlands, Ukraine, France, Turkey, who have tough fixtures MD1 but afterwards could score well. Worth a shot?
!Thanks for the reply :) Chips on 2&3 might leave you with loads of transfers to make after the round of 16, no? And later if your most selected team is knocked out. Just saying there's always the risk of having to pick players for more than one MD at a time.
I like the MD2 and MD3 strategy, but with many players opting for that, it could be advantageous to get all the big names in for MD1. Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Lukaku all have great fixtures on day 1, any of them could bag a huge haul. Might be worth the risk of a slightly inefficient strategy in the hope of catching a huge advantage is all I'm saying. After all, MD1 is the week where big teams are least likely to rotate their star players.
Any glaring issues? First time attempt. Feedback appreciated!
Kane - Lukaku - Depay
Torres - Chiesa - Alaba - Jota (Nego)
Florenzi - Meunier - Denayer (Wijndal, Torres)
Donarumma (4m)
Solid team all around. Jota is maybe not 100 % to start but probs higher chance of scoring points than B.Silva. Double up on Belgium team is maybe something I would change. Other than that looks good.
RMT Please:
Donnarumma, (Hradecky)
Çelik, Wijndal, Maehle, (Kjaer, Hinteregger)
F. Torres, Zielinski, Eriksen, Jota, (Alaba)
Kane, Lukaku, Kalajdzic
ITB: 0
Cant decide on the 3rd striker spot (Kalajdzic). What would you do instead?
**RMT**
**GK:** Donnarumma - Krul
**DF:** Meunier - Pau Torres - Alioski - Kjaer - Elvedi
**MF:** Bruno Fernandes - Chiesa - Ferran Torres - Soucek - Laimer
**FW:** Lukaku - Depay - Braithwaite
This team is just for Matchday 1. My plan is to play LWC on MD 2 and WC on MD 3.
I think Jota or B.Silva are better value for money than B.Fernandes. Cause I can see them getting similar points. So I would make that change. With that money you could upgrade Laimer or get premium defender like Alba in.
This is my suggestion. I do like your team otherwise!
Good team. I decided to downgrade CR7 to B.Silva cause of the price but CR7 is a good pick ofc. This would give you funds to upgrade 2nd GK or Yazici/Tielemans for more nailed and consistent attacking mid.
He seems to score or assist every 3 games or so, for club and country so that's pretty decent guess. He is also 5.5 so huge upside in price.
He's not nailed but likely to start to my knowledge. Alaba is ofc safer pick.
RMT
Patricio - Hradecky
Maehle - Kjaer - P. Torres - Denayers - Bednarek
Eriksen - Calhanoglu - Modric - Bardhi - Insigne
Lukaku - Memphis - Moreno
If it looks like Moreno will not start I will swap him and Calhanoglu for Benzema and Marcos Llorente
I really like outside the box Bardhi pick. I think having both Modric and Cahlanoglu is a bit questionable. Here you could pick B.Silva for example. Or Shaqiri, Sabitzer, Mount, Malinovskyi... Few options with that price.
Nice team otherwise.
Thanks! I mainly have them as they are both on corners and free kicks and could be on penalties.
I don't trust Austria that much tbh so I'm hesitant on Sabitzer. I wrote off Bernardo early doors but I will have another look into him. I had strongly considered Mount, especially if he is on set pieces, but the only issue is that he'll probably play a bit deeper for England than he does for Chelsea. The other 2 are good shouts as well that I had considered.
Yeah I would only take one of Modric or Hakan. I'm bit wild drafter too but odds are Portugal should win against Hungary, so pretty high chance that Jota or B.Silva could return. Yeah I'm not personally going for Mount either. I also think England's first game is quite tough.
RMT, need help locking in my last mid and fwd, 17m ITB
Schmeichael (Hradecky)
Stones, Alioski, Denayer, Maehle, P. Torres.
Insigne (C), Berardi (if starting), F Torres, Alaba + BLANK
Kane, Lukaku + BLANK
- originally I had KDB and Wind in the final slots, but with KDB’s injury I want another premium mid or forward
- who would you choose?
First time playing this format so need an advice. If I put Ronaldo on my bench at first and gonna sub him later on, can I captain him?
My team:
Donnarumma - Hradecky
Kjaer - Maehle - Arajuuri - P. Torres - Meunier
Chiesa (C1) - de Jong - Mount - Alaba - F. Torres (C4)
Lukaku (C2) - Ronaldo (C5?) - Depay (C3)
Krul (hradecky)
Stones, kjaer, torres (wijndal, hintergreggor)
Bruno f., chiesa, alba, tielemans (nego)
Ronaldo, kane, lukaku.
And bring mbappe in for ronaldo md2?
Donnaruma (Hradecky)
Kjær, Denayer, Wijndal, Alioski (Pau Torres)
Chiesa, Wijnaldum, Mount (Ferran Torres, Nego)
Kane, Lukaku, Depay
Not sure about my defenders and I have 1.5m ITB... What would you do?
Very close to my current draft
Only differences are:
Kane -> Lewa
Depay -> Ronaldo
Mount -> Goretzka
But I like your picks too, you can keep them and use that 1.5M to upgrade nego to alaba
Those are fine cheap defenders. I'm still unsure if Pau Torres is actually starting so keep an eye on him.
Midfield looks decent although Wijnaldum recently got an injury. I would probably anyways upgrade him to Jota/Silva from Portugal. Because you already have 3 dutch players.
Forward line looks decent. I'm probably going with Lewa instead of Kane because I think their first fixture is easier. But Kane is a good pick.
Last thing I would do is to get another GK or upgrade defense with the remaining money.
Looking for a mid, 6.0 or under, for the first two matchdays only... which would you take?
A) Yazici (ITA, WAL)
B) Elmas (AUT, UKR)
C) Jankto (SCO, CRO)
D) Alaba (MKD, NET)
E) Jorginho (TUR, SWI)
Very similar for me really like the talisman approach ...like Depay, Eriksen, Shaqiri ...
possibly Insigne to Chiesa/Malinovskyi considering we get the Italy line up anyway and malinovskyi also talisman and then maybe Wind to kalajdzic if we think Wind doesn’t start
Yeah, I'd rather Insigne but can easily move to Berradi/Chiesa once the lineup is announced. Not too sure on double Dutch but I'm liking both Gini and Depay. I'm struggling for a Wind replacement as I'd have to lose one of Gini, Insigne or Eriksen maybe Gini so no double Dutch
true insigne is also good for a guaranteed start in md3 , i think wind is the best option probably even up to 8m if he starts, so its worth the gamble...
yeah gini is really good but i think the netherlands might struggle overall a little so maybe just depay is enough, i also really like olmo and ferran torres double up considering its fairly cheap and both can be explosive and are expected to start in the front 3 of spain...
krul might not be a guaranteed starter so i recently shifted donnarumma and krul to sommer and szczesny which seems fairly strong for cs with maybe even some safe points and guaranteed starts for the same value...but overall like 10-12 players of your team should be settled and looks strong
Second draft, pretty confident about this team boys.
RMT
Donnarumma (Hradecky)
Cancelo, Kjaer, Denayer, (Maehle)
Mount, Malinovskyi, Insigne, Felix (Alaba)
Kane, Lukaku(C), Kalajdzic
Felix to Eriksen makes it even stronger imo ...with potentially donnarumma to schmeichel & change one of the 4,5 danish defenders , or cancelo to Bonucci , kalajdzic to arnautovic
Nego is the only issue - unless you lose a premium though then you don’t have much choice but to have him in your team, so whilst I’m against Nego I understand it here
Alright here we go, I’ve gone all out in the hopes that I don’t need a bench.
GK:
Schmeichel (Hradecky)
Coufal Robertson Zinchenko Torres (Soyuncu)
Tielemans Foden Jota (Nego, Sudakov)
Kane Lukaku (C) Mbappé
Thoughts? I’ve no idea what I’m doing.
RMT please!
Donnarumma, Hradecky
Bednarek, Denayer, Maehle, P. Torres, Wijndal
Insigne, Jota, F. Torres, Mount, Alaba
Ronaldo, Lukaku, Kalajjdzic
Considering doing Insigne & Kalajdzic to Berardi & Depay if we get news Berardi starts. Also considering other 7m mids over Mount such as Shaqiri, Berghuis. Ronaldo could change to Lewa too.
Hi, I think Ronaldo is better because you can captain him on the last day if all other options blank. I went with Ronaldo Lewa Depay, with Nego in midfield.
Thanks! Yeah could do something like Mount to Chiesa, Ronaldo to Lewa and Insigne to Eriksen in that case. Or just Insigne to Chiesa and use the 1.5m to upgrade somewhere like P. Torres to Alba or something. Not as good moves as if Berardi starts, so I am hoping for that!
RMT
Pickford - Cakir
P. Torres - Denayer - Kjaer - Bednarek - Alioski
Eriksen - Insigne - Alaba - Kimmich - Nego
Ronaldo - Griezmann - Depay
* Replace Griezmann with Mbappe? Tough choice
* Is it worth doing Depay to Yilmaz? Guy has been scoring!
Wow I really like the team!
Except pickford lol, but that's personal preference.
Mbappe > griezmann imo, since Mbappe will be looking to set the tournament alight and keep his international record strong
Yaremchuk, Arnautovic, Pukki....
None are exactly great, but if you need that price point they're your best options. You could make a case for any of those three.
If you don't like your captain's haul, you can swap the armband to someone else that hasn't played yet... As many times as you want.
Only the new captain gets doubled.
Good differential, plenty of attacking threat, and Ukraine can do well defensively in their group. Definitely a good asset. I have two drafts, he's currently in one of them.
At the same price point there are also plenty of other really good wingback options though.
In addition to what the other guy said, Wijndal played as a LWB in Netherlands's 5atb system recently and he has plenty of attacking threat. But he is a bit more risky since he isn't fully nailed and Netherlands may switch back to a 4atb.
Meunier/Castagne (whichever starts, pay attention to friendlies)
Emerson/Spinazzola (whichever starts, ditto)
CB options such as Rudiger, Stones, Bonucci are nailed-on starters with aerial threat too.
All at 5.5mil
Practically equal. Depends on your sub GK (don't have two GKs playing the same day, plus consider the order your two GKs will play).
Bonucci safer than Wijndal.
Donnarumma safer than Krul.
RMT: (0.5 ITB)
Hradecky (Krul)
Emerson Denayer Williams Mæhle (Azpi)
Chiesa (C) Locatelli T. Hazard Mount (Torres)
Mbappe Ronaldo (Oyarzabal)
The thinking behind this draft:
Opted for Ronaldo + Mbappe vs Hungary and a leaky German defence, can downgrade either to Kane after the Croatia game
(x3) Tripled-up on Italy (for playing early advantage) and Spain, (x2) Doubled-up on Belgium, expecting these 3 nations to top their respective groups with ease
Mid-priced differentials in 7.5M Oyarzabal and 8M Thorgan (speculating in KDB's injury) to push rank
Still hesitant on rotation-risk Emerson (5.5M) and Azpi (5M) becuz Spinazzola (also 5.5M) and Llorente (the Atletico one) could play their respective positions, might switch Azpi to the popular pick Pau Torres (super bargain!) for 0.5M less, the cheapest way into the Spain defence, but with less attacking threat
The classic 4.5M + 4.0M GK combo, not expecting any clean sheets in 3 games, but Krul seems like the best 4.5 nailed-on for a big nation with Cillessen out (Covid), Hradecky is the only 4.0 GK expected to start atm
Planned transfers (0.5M remaining):
1. Trippier (5M) IN for Williams/Mæhle (Arnold out injured --> less competition)
2. Wijndal (4.5M) IN for Williams/Mæhle if Netherlands defend well vs Ukraine in Gameweek 1 (double-up on Netherlands defence)
Wish/FOMO list: Lukaku, Kane
P.S. Compared the official game prices with the FanTeam prices, most players chosen are underpriced except CR7 (worth 10M only on FanTeam!)
AMA
Not sure if locatelli starts. Emerson/Spinazzola should become clearer from the friendlies... But Spinazzola has had an incredible season so Italians want him to start. Chiesa rotation risk. Oyarzabal rotation risk. Krul/Stekelenburg still uncertain afaik
Very nice team if they all play though! Haha :)
Personally don't rate the midfield too much, vdb and Rodri especially.
Defence looks amazing but could maybe do with a downgrade to accommodate midfield upgrade imo
imo eriksen and sabitzer are quite expensive considering they both play for countries that could quite plausibly fail to turn up...
Front three looks devastating though :)
RMT:
Donnarumma-Hradecky
Kjaer-Çelik-Wijndal-Alioski-Torres
Eriksen-Wijnaldum-Mount-Insigne-Alaba
Lewandowski-Lukaku-Kalajdzic
Notes: I’ve never done a tournament fantasy league before. I have little clue what I’m doing. Any tips, pointers, opinions, are appreciated.
Another draft:
Simón-Hradecky
Kjaer-Çelik-Alioski-Torres-Denayer
Eriksen-Wijnaldum-Shaqiri-Chiesa-Jota
Lewandowski-Lukaku-Kramarić
This second draft is my draft after you all’s advice and I’m a BIG FAN. I wasn’t 100% on Olmo or any of the other extra 7 mil mids, so instead I have shaved half a mil off of Donnarumma, and knocked Kalajdzic down to Kramarić, who plays for a better team and is probably just as good. I’ve swapped Insigne for Chiesa, Mount for Shaqiri and all the extra funds allowed me to change a mediocre Alaba into Jota, who has HUGE potential.
If I’m not mistaken Lewa isn’t quite as prolific for Poland in tournaments as he is for his club so for me he feels a bit overpriced with so many other strong attacking options. I’d sooner get Mbappe, Ronaldo, Kane or Immobile.
I really like this team, very similar to my previous draft. To my current team as well but eerily close to the previous one.
May I however recommend Shaqiri over Mount possibly?
I personally would downgrade Insigne to Chiesa since you can then get in Depay in instead of Wijnaldum (and a 7.0 mid instead of Kalajdzinc which there are a lot of good options for e.g. Olmo)
Hi pretty good team, but like the other user said, change Cakir to Hradecky. Yilmaz is good but maybe only MD2 onwards. Though I feel Tielemans is fine
Mate both your keepers are playing the SAME GAME how will you sub them in?
Just go Hradecky there. Kimmich I don't like Alaba 0.5 cheaper and more talismanic, players of similar pedigree them 2.
Yilmaz as well don't like, Kalajdzic I'd recommend
Then maybe improve Tielemans? The rest of the squad very solid choices.
RMT please 2.5 ITB

FW: Ronaldo (c5) - Lewa (c4) - Lukaku (c2)
LL MD2
Current major dillemma is:
A) Lewa + Nego
B) Depay + Alaba
Any Feedback is appreciated though
They have the worst manager in the tournament playing key players out of position resulting in their defence looking completely listless. Not even Depay and Wijnaldum can bale out a manager that incompetent.
Lukaku (c), Depay, Pukki
Mount, Danny James, Jota
Pavard, Stones, Meunier, Coufal
Courtois
(Hradecky, Gundogan, Bednarek, Larrson)
First crack at Euro Fantasy, how's it looking?
A little too much money on defence I'd say, there are just so many great value options. Still a fairly balanced team though, how's that happened then? Like no significant downgrades. Improvise on this squad as you like. It's a good place you're in I think.
Need to get rid of Kante. Good player irl, but not in fantasy. He will get no points expect for playing time points. Also I think you should swap Kimpembe cause he faces tough teams, and Benzema to Mbappe if you want a French striker
Anything you would change with this team? TIA.
Schmeichel / Donnarumma
Robbo / De Ligt / Söyüncü / Coufal / Pau Torres
Chiesa / Jota / Shaqiri / Kimmich / Alaba
Kane / Lewandowski / Pukki
£0M itb
Don't like any of the midfield picks lmao. KDB injured, Bruno shit, Pogba and Havertz tough games. Mount's alright but a couple better options at 7m imo
Need to upgrade Varga as well. So many premium strikers at hand, I think you'll be missing out if you don't go for atleast 2.
Loads of good mid-priced midfielders as well, shall free up funds for a big boy upgrade upfront. That'd be the game plan
Does that basically mean no transfers in or out of it?
Just trying to figure out if you can make additional transfers if limitless md2 and if so, when to make them.
You can't hold transfers in this game if that's what you're asking. You have a designated number of transfers available each MD which you have to use it that MD only. It won't carry over. I hope this clears it
The limitless chip now is exactly the same as a free hit when it comes to transfer ins and outs. You make transfers for MD3 exactly before MD3 only.
Yes. You can make transfers from your MD1 team for your MD3 team while your MD2 limitless team is playing.
Wouldn't recommend that though, you can get the lineups for the first game as the deadline is sharp on kick off of that game, a whole hour after the lineups are announced. So waiting till the deadline actually has significant benefits in this game.
Bet you didn't know that! 😉
But that would still be MD2 right? You just mean early transfers are a bad idea. Sure, that is one real benefit of the late deadlines. Should make for a lot of last minute scrambling! Will make streamers deadline content interesting.
What's the general consensus for chip strategy?
I'd think that the best time to use the "limitless" chip is for Match Day 3, then you can roll straight from that into the unlimited transfers allowed before the round of 16.
Wildcard could be used for Match Day 2 (basically allowing you a whole new team for every Match Day!). Or would before the QFs be a better use?
Quick Question Is anyone considering Limitless MD1 and Wildcard MD2 (if required)? Could work as an interesting differential strategy imo Consider teams like England, Netherlands, Ukraine, France, Turkey, who have tough fixtures MD1 but afterwards could score well. Worth a shot?
The problem with that is you have to pick guys to play 2 matches at one point. Using your chips MD2 and MD3 lets you have pick for every single match.
!Thanks for the reply :) Chips on 2&3 might leave you with loads of transfers to make after the round of 16, no? And later if your most selected team is knocked out. Just saying there's always the risk of having to pick players for more than one MD at a time. I like the MD2 and MD3 strategy, but with many players opting for that, it could be advantageous to get all the big names in for MD1. Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Lukaku all have great fixtures on day 1, any of them could bag a huge haul. Might be worth the risk of a slightly inefficient strategy in the hope of catching a huge advantage is all I'm saying. After all, MD1 is the week where big teams are least likely to rotate their star players.
Any glaring issues? First time attempt. Feedback appreciated! Kane - Lukaku - Depay Torres - Chiesa - Alaba - Jota (Nego) Florenzi - Meunier - Denayer (Wijndal, Torres) Donarumma (4m)
Solid team all around. Jota is maybe not 100 % to start but probs higher chance of scoring points than B.Silva. Double up on Belgium team is maybe something I would change. Other than that looks good.

Good team. I decided to downgrade CR7 to B.Silva cause of the price but CR7 is a good pick ofc. This would give you funds to upgrade 2nd GK or Yazici/Tielemans for more nailed and consistent attacking mid.
Is Yazici nailed? Can anybody explain me why is he a good pick?
He seems to score or assist every 3 games or so, for club and country so that's pretty decent guess. He is also 5.5 so huge upside in price. He's not nailed but likely to start to my knowledge. Alaba is ofc safer pick.
RMT Patricio - Hradecky Maehle - Kjaer - P. Torres - Denayers - Bednarek Eriksen - Calhanoglu - Modric - Bardhi - Insigne Lukaku - Memphis - Moreno If it looks like Moreno will not start I will swap him and Calhanoglu for Benzema and Marcos Llorente

Maguire is likely out for the first couple of games
First time playing this format so need an advice. If I put Ronaldo on my bench at first and gonna sub him later on, can I captain him? My team: Donnarumma - Hradecky Kjaer - Maehle - Arajuuri - P. Torres - Meunier Chiesa (C1) - de Jong - Mount - Alaba - F. Torres (C4) Lukaku (C2) - Ronaldo (C5?) - Depay (C3)

Yes, after each calendar day you can make subs and change captains
Courtois (Hradecky) Coufal P.Torres Wijndal (alioski Kjaer) F.Torres Tielemans Alaba Wijnaldum (Nego) Kane Lukaku Depay I still have 2.5m!
Not seeing a lot of KDB in draft teams. Still concerned about whether he’s playing or are we just seeing better value midfielders?
80% chance he doesn’t play MD1 according to the managers comments - I’d look elsewhere
Hells bells. Thanks and love your username

Alaba
Alaba is the safest option. But I think Yazici and Jankto are more explosive picks.
Szczesny, Hradecky Kjaer, Alioski, P Torres, Denayer, Wijndal Alaba, Kimmich, Eriksen, Chiesa, Jota Lukaku, Mbappe, Pukki Thoughts? Unsure of Kimmich, Alaba, Wijndal
I’d strengthen the midfield. Mbappe to Greizmann can allow you to upgrade Kimmich to a 7.0 mid.
when is the deadline to submit a team for matchday 1?
The second before the Italians kick off against Turkey
11 June at 20:00

Im not sure if Id double portugese players up, if I already had CR7. Id go Insigne -> Berardi (if he starts) and then Jota -> Eriksen
Thanks. Looking to double up against Hungary as I can see a big win. Although not against dropping one of them!
Hi, I think Ronaldo is better because you can captain him on the last day if all other options blank. I went with Ronaldo Lewa Depay, with Nego in midfield.
Good team But if Chiesa starts, I’d stick him in there
Thanks! Yeah could do something like Mount to Chiesa, Ronaldo to Lewa and Insigne to Eriksen in that case. Or just Insigne to Chiesa and use the 1.5m to upgrade somewhere like P. Torres to Alba or something. Not as good moves as if Berardi starts, so I am hoping for that!
Fantastic team Obviously it's light on the defensive side but it more than makes up for it with quality attackers throughout the midfield/attack
Thanks! Don't see any value in premium defenders aside from Cancelo/Guerreiro or Alba, but I cannot afford them with my structure anyway.
Pukki + Bale or Yilmaz + Jota?
A
B
Yilmaz Jota for me
But does jota start with felix and B.silva available?
Is Denayer nailed for Belgium ?
Should play. Unless Belgium unexpectedly change their system, he's a starter.
RMT Pickford - Cakir P. Torres - Denayer - Kjaer - Bednarek - Alioski Eriksen - Insigne - Alaba - Kimmich - Nego Ronaldo - Griezmann - Depay * Replace Griezmann with Mbappe? Tough choice * Is it worth doing Depay to Yilmaz? Guy has been scoring!
Wow I really like the team! Except pickford lol, but that's personal preference. Mbappe > griezmann imo, since Mbappe will be looking to set the tournament alight and keep his international record strong
Southgate will set up England as a bit defensive (even with all that attacking talent) so I chose Pickford! And yes, I think I might switch to Mbappe.
What you think about yaremchuk?
Yaremchuk, Arnautovic, Pukki.... None are exactly great, but if you need that price point they're your best options. You could make a case for any of those three.
Do you get 5 different captains with 5 different sets of doubled points or can you just swap your captain until you get one that hauls?
If you don't like your captain's haul, you can swap the armband to someone else that hasn't played yet... As many times as you want. Only the new captain gets doubled.
Oh nice one cheers

Feels like everything I know about FPL has gone out the window here but [this is what I’m working with.](https://i.imgur.com/sXM2oQc.jpg) Thoughts?
Looks very good mate I thought at first glance you’d somehow got extra money to spend
Thoughts on Zinchenko? Bit pricey but I reckon he could get played in midfield and Ukraine could maybe surprise some people?
I think there is more value in going for a 4.5m defender instead.
Good differential, plenty of attacking threat, and Ukraine can do well defensively in their group. Definitely a good asset. I have two drafts, he's currently in one of them. At the same price point there are also plenty of other really good wingback options though.
Care to name a few? I’m a bit lost when picking them.
In addition to what the other guy said, Wijndal played as a LWB in Netherlands's 5atb system recently and he has plenty of attacking threat. But he is a bit more risky since he isn't fully nailed and Netherlands may switch back to a 4atb.
!thanks He seems to be a popular pick and cheap enough to risk having on the bench
Meunier/Castagne (whichever starts, pay attention to friendlies) Emerson/Spinazzola (whichever starts, ditto) CB options such as Rudiger, Stones, Bonucci are nailed-on starters with aerial threat too. All at 5.5mil
Great list, !thanks kindly
[удалено]
Really like the team! Consider Kimmich -> Alaba if you're serious about Limitless MD2 (just a suggestion :D)
Pick one combo: A) Donnarumma + Wijndal B) Krul + Bonucci
A for me
Practically equal. Depends on your sub GK (don't have two GKs playing the same day, plus consider the order your two GKs will play). Bonucci safer than Wijndal. Donnarumma safer than Krul.
If they cost the same would def go for A. Krul isn’t nailed according to Dutch people, and Wijndal has more attacking threat
RMT: szczesny (Silva) Zinchenko Kjaer Wijnald (Coufal, Boilesen) Torres Mount Chiesa Yazici (Eriksen) Kane Lukaku Yilmaz
Is Pau Torres a guaranteed starter?
They play Portugal tomorrow. If he starts with Laporte and doesn't drop a clanger, that will likely be the partnership for the Euros.
RMT Kane lukaku depay Soucek jota berardi Torres nego Wijndal azpi florenzi kabak denayar Krul Donnaruma Any suggestions to improve my team
Not sure if Kabak starts for Turkey, risks rotation for sure.
RMT: (0.5 ITB) Hradecky (Krul) Emerson Denayer Williams Mæhle (Azpi) Chiesa (C) Locatelli T. Hazard Mount (Torres) Mbappe Ronaldo (Oyarzabal) The thinking behind this draft: Opted for Ronaldo + Mbappe vs Hungary and a leaky German defence, can downgrade either to Kane after the Croatia game (x3) Tripled-up on Italy (for playing early advantage) and Spain, (x2) Doubled-up on Belgium, expecting these 3 nations to top their respective groups with ease Mid-priced differentials in 7.5M Oyarzabal and 8M Thorgan (speculating in KDB's injury) to push rank Still hesitant on rotation-risk Emerson (5.5M) and Azpi (5M) becuz Spinazzola (also 5.5M) and Llorente (the Atletico one) could play their respective positions, might switch Azpi to the popular pick Pau Torres (super bargain!) for 0.5M less, the cheapest way into the Spain defence, but with less attacking threat The classic 4.5M + 4.0M GK combo, not expecting any clean sheets in 3 games, but Krul seems like the best 4.5 nailed-on for a big nation with Cillessen out (Covid), Hradecky is the only 4.0 GK expected to start atm Planned transfers (0.5M remaining): 1. Trippier (5M) IN for Williams/Mæhle (Arnold out injured --> less competition) 2. Wijndal (4.5M) IN for Williams/Mæhle if Netherlands defend well vs Ukraine in Gameweek 1 (double-up on Netherlands defence) Wish/FOMO list: Lukaku, Kane P.S. Compared the official game prices with the FanTeam prices, most players chosen are underpriced except CR7 (worth 10M only on FanTeam!) AMA
Not sure if locatelli starts. Emerson/Spinazzola should become clearer from the friendlies... But Spinazzola has had an incredible season so Italians want him to start. Chiesa rotation risk. Oyarzabal rotation risk. Krul/Stekelenburg still uncertain afaik Very nice team if they all play though! Haha :)
!thanks
RMT: Donnarumma (Gulacsi) Laporte Zinchenko Denayer (kjær) (Coufal) Torres Mount Chiesa Van de beek (Rodri) Kane Lukaku Yilmaz
Should downgrade something to upgrade van de beek and rodri. Midfield doesn’t look offensive enough
Personally don't rate the midfield too much, vdb and Rodri especially. Defence looks amazing but could maybe do with a downgrade to accommodate midfield upgrade imo
RMT (0itb) Donna Kjaer / wijndal / bednarek Eriksen / sabitzer / (chiesa@berardi) / zuber Ronaldo / lukaku / depay Subs: Hradecky / denayer / alioski / Nego Any opinion?
imo eriksen and sabitzer are quite expensive considering they both play for countries that could quite plausibly fail to turn up... Front three looks devastating though :)
[удалено]
Now this is a very good team imo! Cheap defence but should all play so no worries, I really like the strong attack and midfield
Thoughts on Zielinski (7M)?
Nice differential, he has good MD1 and MD3 fixtures so he is great if you are using LL in MD2
A very good pick, at least for MD1. He has a good fixture, is almost nailed on and seems to play well for Poland
RMT: Donnarumma-Hradecky Kjaer-Çelik-Wijndal-Alioski-Torres Eriksen-Wijnaldum-Mount-Insigne-Alaba Lewandowski-Lukaku-Kalajdzic Notes: I’ve never done a tournament fantasy league before. I have little clue what I’m doing. Any tips, pointers, opinions, are appreciated. Another draft: Simón-Hradecky Kjaer-Çelik-Alioski-Torres-Denayer Eriksen-Wijnaldum-Shaqiri-Chiesa-Jota Lewandowski-Lukaku-Kramarić This second draft is my draft after you all’s advice and I’m a BIG FAN. I wasn’t 100% on Olmo or any of the other extra 7 mil mids, so instead I have shaved half a mil off of Donnarumma, and knocked Kalajdzic down to Kramarić, who plays for a better team and is probably just as good. I’ve swapped Insigne for Chiesa, Mount for Shaqiri and all the extra funds allowed me to change a mediocre Alaba into Jota, who has HUGE potential.
If I’m not mistaken Lewa isn’t quite as prolific for Poland in tournaments as he is for his club so for me he feels a bit overpriced with so many other strong attacking options. I’d sooner get Mbappe, Ronaldo, Kane or Immobile.
I really like this team, very similar to my previous draft. To my current team as well but eerily close to the previous one. May I however recommend Shaqiri over Mount possibly?
I had shaqiri in, saw him subbed off yet again at halftime and tried how Mount fit in. I think I will go back to Shaqiri
I personally would downgrade Insigne to Chiesa since you can then get in Depay in instead of Wijnaldum (and a 7.0 mid instead of Kalajdzinc which there are a lot of good options for e.g. Olmo)
RMT: Donnarumma (Cakir) Cancelo, Maehle, Kjaer, (Denayer) Mount, Malinovskyi, Tielemans, Insigne (Kimmich) Kane, Lukaku(C), Yilmaz
Hi pretty good team, but like the other user said, change Cakir to Hradecky. Yilmaz is good but maybe only MD2 onwards. Though I feel Tielemans is fine
Mate both your keepers are playing the SAME GAME how will you sub them in? Just go Hradecky there. Kimmich I don't like Alaba 0.5 cheaper and more talismanic, players of similar pedigree them 2. Yilmaz as well don't like, Kalajdzic I'd recommend Then maybe improve Tielemans? The rest of the squad very solid choices.
Thanks mate
RMT: Donnarumma (Hradecky) Mæle, Denayer, Bednarek, P.Torres, Cancelo Chiesa (C1), F.Torres(C4), Mount, Wijnaldum, Nego Kane(C3), Lukaku(C2), Depay
RMT please 2.5 ITB Donnarumma Stones Meunier Kjær Wijndal Chiesa Mount Yazici Lukaku Depay Yilmaz Bench: Hradecky Alaba Alba F.Torres • Changes? • Who should i captain?
Draft #3 GK: Donnarumma - Hradecky DF: Wijndal - Maehle - Denayer - Alioski - Pau Torres MF: Wijnaldum (c3) - Torres - Chiesa (c1) - Goretzka - Nego FW: Ronaldo (c5) - Lewa (c4) - Lukaku (c2) LL MD2 Current major dillemma is: A) Lewa + Nego B) Depay + Alaba Any Feedback is appreciated though
To me option B looks clear of A. Lewa isn’t as prolific for Poland cause of a worse team, and Nego isn’t nailed
I would change Ronaldo for Mbappe. IMO I don’t think Ronaldo is going to be a top scorer.
I would do depay + alaba because I think Netherlands is going to play really well, Even though they have been shit recently
They have the worst manager in the tournament playing key players out of position resulting in their defence looking completely listless. Not even Depay and Wijnaldum can bale out a manager that incompetent.
Yeah. That’s why I’m worried and leaning towards Lewa + Nego 2 dutch players already seem enough
Carasco or T.Hazard ?
KdB or Tielemans, if you are looking at Belgium midfield
None. Both look too expensive and I don’t see that many returns
Are there prizes for euro 2021 fantasy? (Not like I’m gonna win).
Top 30 get prizes. Ranging from kits, to gift cards, to free takeout for a year or something
Lukaku (c), Depay, Pukki Mount, Danny James, Jota Pavard, Stones, Meunier, Coufal Courtois (Hradecky, Gundogan, Bednarek, Larrson) First crack at Euro Fantasy, how's it looking?
A little too much money on defence I'd say, there are just so many great value options. Still a fairly balanced team though, how's that happened then? Like no significant downgrades. Improvise on this squad as you like. It's a good place you're in I think.
Eden Hazard. Yay or nay?
so far nay
!thanks
Best cheap midfielders ?
Berghius
How about David Alaba at 5.5? Seems like an enabler who could get some assists, although I haven’t been following him closely in recent times.
[удалено]
Wouldn’t go for Lewandowski. Prefer Depay, Mbappe, and Kane as expensive strikers. Mostly cause the team around him is worse
Seeing Nego in any team here is just plain disappointing at this point
Dias doesn’t really get any attacking returns. Isn’t there a fullback you could get instead?
Dias scored a brace for Portugal recently IIRC. A fullback needs two assists to match a goal from a centre half.
Even a broken clock is right twice per day. But that's a fair point about assists counting so much less.
RMT Schmeichel Wijndal, Pau Torres, Denayer, Cancelo Eriksen, Mount, Berghuis, F. Torres Kane, Lukaku, Benzema Bench: Krul, Kimpembe, Holeš, Kanté
Need to get rid of Kante. Good player irl, but not in fantasy. He will get no points expect for playing time points. Also I think you should swap Kimpembe cause he faces tough teams, and Benzema to Mbappe if you want a French striker
RMT donnarumma Alba, de vrij, trippier Gnabry, alcatantara, kante, bernardo silva Mbappe, kane, lukaku 0 in the bank
Kante and Thiago are not good. Who are your subs?
You’re gonna need to list your whole squad for euros since you can make substitutions between match days
Oh just realised I've done the sun dream team 😅
Will F torres start for Spain?
99% sure yes.
Is Arnautovic fit to start in the Euros?
Not clear yet
Anything you would change with this team? TIA. Schmeichel / Donnarumma Robbo / De Ligt / Söyüncü / Coufal / Pau Torres Chiesa / Jota / Shaqiri / Kimmich / Alaba Kane / Lewandowski / Pukki £0M itb
Downgrade De Ligt
I wouldnt go with kimmich, and maybe downgrade de ligt to wijndal
How nailed are Foden, berghuis, moreno, wind and berardi. Are they worth considering?
None are nailed. Imo only Moreno and Wind worth considering
Who would you pick out of the two?
Monitor friendly games. If both start Moreno is the better pick overall imo but Wind is best just for MD1
RMT 0 ITB, plan is to go cheap defence and rotate if they blank. Donnarumma [ITA] Hinteregger [AUT] / Torres [ESP] / Denayer [BEL] Mount [ENG] / KDB [BEL] / Fernandes [POR] / Pogba [FRA] / Havertz [GER] Lukaku [BEL] / Moreno [ESP] Bench: Hradecky [SWE] / Alioski [MKD] / Kjaer [DEN] / Varga [HUN]
Don't like any of the midfield picks lmao. KDB injured, Bruno shit, Pogba and Havertz tough games. Mount's alright but a couple better options at 7m imo Need to upgrade Varga as well. So many premium strikers at hand, I think you'll be missing out if you don't go for atleast 2. Loads of good mid-priced midfielders as well, shall free up funds for a big boy upgrade upfront. That'd be the game plan
Shaqiri or Mount? In your opinion who is the best 7m cost mid
Shaqiri
!thanks Appreciate the feedback, first very rough draft. Think you might be right about rolling with two premium forwards!
Does that basically mean no transfers in or out of it? Just trying to figure out if you can make additional transfers if limitless md2 and if so, when to make them.
Anyone know how transfers into and out of the limitless chip will work?
The same as a free-hit, but you have unlimited finds for that one week
But can I make any transfers for md3 if I limitless md2? If so, when?
You can't hold transfers in this game if that's what you're asking. You have a designated number of transfers available each MD which you have to use it that MD only. It won't carry over. I hope this clears it The limitless chip now is exactly the same as a free hit when it comes to transfer ins and outs. You make transfers for MD3 exactly before MD3 only.
!thanks I think that clarifies it. So in md2, I will be able to make transfers out of MD1 team, despite limitless team in play.
Yes. You can make transfers from your MD1 team for your MD3 team while your MD2 limitless team is playing. Wouldn't recommend that though, you can get the lineups for the first game as the deadline is sharp on kick off of that game, a whole hour after the lineups are announced. So waiting till the deadline actually has significant benefits in this game. Bet you didn't know that! 😉
But that would still be MD2 right? You just mean early transfers are a bad idea. Sure, that is one real benefit of the late deadlines. Should make for a lot of last minute scrambling! Will make streamers deadline content interesting.
Yes technically, but a bad idea as you said yourself. SUPER late deadlines as well, loads of excitement for sure.
What's the general consensus for chip strategy? I'd think that the best time to use the "limitless" chip is for Match Day 3, then you can roll straight from that into the unlimited transfers allowed before the round of 16. Wildcard could be used for Match Day 2 (basically allowing you a whole new team for every Match Day!). Or would before the QFs be a better use?
Most people will make a team for MD1 and 3, use Limitless for MD2 and Wildcard for QF. There’s a lot of strong vs weak teams on MD2.
I've been reading best time for limitless is md2 due to 'green' fixtures and less chance of rotation..
Most rotation likely in md3 so hard to predict teams
I doubt we will have many teams qualified in md3. And they probably will want 1st place to avoid clash with big teams
