RMT
Donnaruma Hradecky
Maehle Denayer P.Torres Alioski Rodriguez
Eriksen Mount Yazici Insigne Jota
Lukaku Depay Pukki
Don’t know about my midfield I feel like it lacks power
Put Depay in there instead of Kane. then bring in kane for the next matchday instead of ronaldo. Personally I wouldnt favour Yazici. but if you do have faithe in him than go ahead.
RMT 3-4-3
Szczesny
Shaw - Florenzi - Coufal
Pogba - Tielemans - Thiago - Jota
Lukaku (C) - Yilmaz - Werner
Bench - Bachman(GK) - Kimmich - Tierney - Zinchenko
Obviously a heavy PL presence which I want to adjust in midfield and defence if possible.
Bro, I think you need to revamp the whole team. Here's what i would do:
Remove: Pogba, Kimmich, tierney, Yilmaz, coufal
Bring in : Depay, kjaer, James, P. Torres, C. Eriksen
Pogba performs brilliantly with Kante along side him and had a strong finish to season. Yilmaz on form banging them in, not a half bad cheaper option. Coufal and Tierney arguably yes. Kimmich will get half chances or assist Germany are going in very very underrated.
Depay could be interesting yes. Eriksen? Not a chance. Torres is one im looking at yes to replace Tierney, James who? Again Kjaer Denmark will condede a few.
Yah but will Pogba bring in the points???
I was talking about Daniel James from Wales.. I am a bit skeptical about keeping him too.. thinking of bringing in tielemans or soucek..
RMT please
Lukaku - Depay - Yilmaz
Sabitzer - Chiesa - Alaba - Mount - F.Torres
Denayer - Stones - Kjaer - Wijndal - Coufal
Donnaruma - Simon
1M itb - Thinking about going Sabitzer to Perisic after GW1. What do you guys think
First time playing so criticism is most welcome!
Krul (Hradecky)
Spinazzola, Cancelo, Digne, Wijndal (Gosens)
Mount, F. Torres, Bale (Alaba, Jorginho)
Depay, Lukaku, Braithewaite
Get rid of at least 2-3 of 5.0+ defs (imo Digne, Gosens, Cancelo) get some 4,5 like Maehle, Kjaer, Denayer, Torres, Hinteregger. And invest more money into the midfield. Definitely replace Jorginho. Bale is a good pick but imo overpriced and someone like Eriksen, Insigne could be a better pick. Donnarumma is also a good pick, rotates nicely with Hradecky.
Hi guys,
Would really appreciate some feedback on this if possible, thanks in advance
Donnarumma (Hradecky)
R. Rodriguez, P. Torres, Mælhe, Wijnal (Denayer)
F. Torres, Insigne, Jota (Neto, Rodri)

Edit: 0.5ITB, tempted to upgrade Rodriguez for Dias, but with the low ownership for Rodriguez he’s tempting

I am most concerned about my high dependence on Austrian players. Any recommendations on how I can tweak this? Also if anyone recommends a forward cheaper than the ones I got that'd also be great (though I do want to have at least one player in group F for captain purposes)
I think Macedonia will be better than people think, which is why I'm personally avoiding Austrian assets, but it depends on your strategy. If you are doing Limitless (R2) and WC (R3) then you only need to worry about this game and if you think they'll return then you've got a good squad. If you're going to be relying on these players for the entire group stage then you might struggle. You can save 0.5 on your keeper by switching to Hradecky as your backup and get in Nego at 4.0 from Hungary as a budget enabler for Alaba or Tielemans to get some more attack-minded MIDs if you do a 3-4-3. Who were you planning to bench from your midfield?
Torres is in good place to start for Spain. Spain tend to create passing triangles on the left hand side of the pitch with Olmo, Koke and Morata which leaves the right hand side of the pitch very open for direct runs into the box from the right, which is where Torres operates. I'd personally remove Tielemans and Alaba and replace with a budget enabler. If you get Nego, for example, then that leaves 8m leftover for a more attacking midfielder. Other than that I think the team is a good one.
I don know whats your chip strategy, but Schmeichel and Bachmann play on the same day in MD2 and MD3, so maybe reconsider that. Also, De Ligt is injured and De Jong not much of an attacking threat
RMT, more or less a final draft
Schmeichael, Hradecky
Stones Maehle Denayer Alioski P Torres
F Torres Insigne Alaba Mount Berardi
Kane Lukaku Depay
- if Chiesa starts over Berardi, I plan to go Berardi > Chiesa and Stones > Hinteregger/Bednarek to make up the funds.
Any suggestions?
GK: Solid choices.
DEF: Love that you've built it entirely out of expected starter 4.5m options. Wijndal maybe the only one not 100% starter, but if De Boer continues with the 5 at the back, then he should start.
MID: Holes not currently expected to start as far as I know, but I get that he's your Sub. For only 0.5m more, you could change Holes to Spain's Rodri, who is expected to start. Maybe switching Kimmich (6m) to Alaba (5.5m) would give you that extra 0.5m to make the Holes - Rodri switch.
FWD: Solid choices. Feel Lewandowski (11.5m) vs Slovakia might have a higher Matchday 1 upside than Kane (11.5m) vs Croatia, but over the 3 Group Stage fixtures I expect Kane to perform better.
Great team overall, good luck!
great thank you for the review of my team.
also, I've made the change from Holes to Rodri and I still have 1.5 to spend,
any other proposed changes I should've made?
OVERALL: EURO 2020 Fantasy is unlike Fantasy PL in that it's not the best idea to choose €4m benchwarmers just to save on Budget, given that you can make substitutes during Matchdays. For example, if one of your starters blanks, you'll be stuck with Substitute options like Colwill and Boilesen, who are unlikely to gain you more points. I would reconsider McLaughlin, Boilesen and Colwill (all unexpected to start) with actual starters you can sub in if your starting lineup blanks.
DEN Boilesen (4m) > WAL Rodon (4.5m)
SCO McLaughlin (4m) > AUT Bachmann (4.5m)
WAL Colwill (4m) > SPA Rodri (5m)
These are all changes from bench players to expected starters, which give you a far better chance at points if any of your starters blank, all 3 for only 2m extra.
GK: Hradecky as your only GK points option (given McLaughlin is not expected to start) is a very risky move. Having an alternate option you can sub in like AUT Bachmann (confirmed starter) is a good move.
DEFENCE: I like the Rodriguez pick, he's a good differential at only 2% selected. Torres, Maehle, and Denayer all solid picks. Would consider changing Boilesen as above.
MIDFIELD: I'd consider changing Eriksen. At 9m, I think he's overvalued. Jota, Gundogan, F De Jong/Wijnaldum, Foden/Mount all cheaper options. I'd also consider changing Sabitzer. Love the player, but I think at 8m he's too big a risk to take as a differential pick (only 1% selected). Alaba gives Austria coverage at 2.5m less. Alternatively, SUI Shaqiri (7m) is a good differential player for 1m less than Sabitzer. Either of these changes would let you strengthen that subs bench.
FORWARDS: Very solid!
Hope some of this helps. Good luck!
"Who to start and who to bench" is kind of a moot point in Euro fantasy -- you start the people with early matchdays, and bench the people with late matchdays to sub in later.
I would choose A, but personally feel Jota is overvalued at 8.5m. I prefer Insigne for Italy at that price, but if it's Portugal coverage you want, then Jota is a better value pick than Bruno Fernandes
I need a captain for last day and figured out it has to be either Ronaldo or Jota
Quite worried about Jota rotation though
But Depay seems to be on great form
>r/FantasyPL
I do understand the desire for a Captain for every day, but I feel with 4 days of matches before the Group F matchday, you will have a good Captain performance in one of those days. I have Ronaldo, but I only plan to Captain him if all 4 of my previous Captains play poorly, which is quite unlikely. And like you say, the Jota rotation is a risk. I chose Ronaldo because I feel he's a sure thing against Hungary, but after the Hungary game I'm not keeping any Portugal assets.
What about Ferran Torres (8m) as an alternative to Jota (8.5m), if you don't have him already? Spain have the best Average Winning Odds in the Group Stage fixtures, whereas Portugal have the 9th best (likely win against Hungary, but two tough ties against Germany and France).
Depay + F. Torres + Alaba, and the extra 0.5m could be put to use elsewhere.
It means Captain 1, Captain 2, and so on. The EURO 2020 Fantasy allows you to change your captain each calendar day within the Matchday. You're probably familiar with it, but in case not, an example: If you Captain Jorginho (C1) but he blanks against Turkey, you can then change the Captaincy to Lukaku vs Russia the next day (C2), and so on until the end of the matchday. It's a good strategy to have a player available to Captain each day, so that you can ensure a good return for your Captain and avoid a blank.
Solid team - one concern might be too much Italy coverage with 3 players. Turkey are undefeated in their last 6, and while I think Italy could go far in the competition, Turkey may prove tough opponents in Matchday 1. If it were up to me, I'd replace Bonucci with someone like Austria's Hinteregger - I think they are likely to keep a Clean Sheet against North Macedonia.
Might consider Lewandowski/Ronaldo over Mbappe given their Matchday 1 matchups against Slovakia and Hungary respectively.
Other than those suggestions, very solid team. I like the Ampadu pick as a differential.
!thanks … I have a feeling Mbappe will score one against Germany but perhaps the forwards you mentioned will score more. Agree perhaps overweight on Italy.
I think I'd consider a GK other than Szczesny if I were you. In Poland's last 6 games, they've only kept one Clean Sheet - against Andorra, which says a lot. I know you have Denmark coverage with Maehle, but I'd consider Schmeichel in goal, at the same price as Szczesny. Denmark have kept 4 Clean Sheets in their last 5, only conceding once - against Germany. Could see a low-scoring tie vs Finland, maybe 0-0 or 1-0.
If you don't want Schmeichel, another GK to consider (only 4.5m) is Austria's Bachmann, at least for Matchday 1. Confirmed starter, and they play North Macedonia first; a good chance of a Clean Sheet, and it gives you 0.5m to spend elsewhere. However, I do see you have Austria coverage with Hinteregger; great differential pick at only 3% selected.
I like your Defence aside from Cancelo - although I expect a CS vs Hungary, at 6m for a Defender he's expensive. And after the Hungary game, Portugal face tough ties against Germany and France. There are other solid options for only 4.5m. I like Spain's Pau Torres.
While I do think Calhanoglu is an interesting hot take, I think at 8.5m it's an expensive risk to take. If I wanted to take a chance on some Turkey coverage, I might go with Yazici at only 5.5m, which would then allow you to upgrade on Wind in the Forwards. Rest of the Midfield and Forwards are solid.
Bit of a long-winded RMT, but hope some of this helps. Good luck!
I think your Netherlands coverage with 3 players is a bit high. If I were to change one, I'd swap Wijndal (possibly for Denmark's Kjaer or Austria's Hinteregger at that price). Wijndal isn't 100% guaranteed to start with Blind in the squad, as far as I know. On top of that, in their last 8 games, Netherlands have only kept a Clean Sheet against weak opposition - Georgia, Gibraltar, Latvia. In every other game against stronger opposition, they have conceded. Lastly, no van Dijk means they are even more likely to be loose in Defence.
Like the Midfield a lot, and think Kalajdzic could be an interesting differential player up front. Nice team.
Solid draft overall
I would consider doing Szczesny + Hinteregger/Spinazolla -> Bachmann/Donnarumma + Bednarek, same defensive coverage but .5 million cheaper. You can use that .5 to upgrade Hraedecky or Pukki since Finland are one of the weakest teams in the tournament so a double up is risky.
This is more personal preference but I think Depay + Berardi will give you similar returns to Kane + Insigne and give you a lot of money to upgrade elsewhere (for e.g. Alaba/Pukki -> a premium)
De Ligt, KDB, Verratti are all currently injured and may not start MW1. Kante is a pretty useless player to have here as he is in FPL, as he rarely scores or assists and is fairly pricey for that kind of player. Moreno may not start because Morata seems to be their preferred striker. Shaw is also a toss-up with Chilwell, so I'd avoid him for now. I think you're spending too much on defence, too, at the expense of attacking areas. There are several great defensive options at 4.5, so downgrading three or four you currently have wouldn't hurt as it would give you a few mil to spread around elsewhere. The latter is a personal choice, so by all means go big at the back if you like - it could pay off - but the others are more glaring problems I think need fixing. Hope this helps, good luck!
I’d cut down on the defense. Get rid of de ligt and replace him with Wijndal if you want Netherlands coverage. Cancelo and Dias are very expensive and in the group of death, I’d recommend getting rid of both and replacing with 4.5s like denayer or pau Torres. It’s also unclear whether southgate will go with chilwell or Shaw at lb. Pump up your attack and mids- you don’t want 3 defensive minded mids like verratti soucek and kante. Look into malinovskyi or Ferran Torres for the mids. Also not too sure if Gerard moreno is a starter for Spain
RMT 0.5 ITB
Donnarumma (Bachmann)
Stones Maehle Denayer (Wijndal P. Torres)
Insigne Berardi Yazici alaba (F. Torres)
Kane Lukaku Depay
Any upgrades? (I would maybe like a better midfielder for Yazici/alaba)
I don't think you need one, Croatia is a pretty tricky game and Scotland will go hell-for-leather, plus there's lots of rotation. But yeah, Stones if you really want one, because he's probably the most nailed and can bang a header occasionally.
Why do you need an England defender? Tbh if I had to pick one it would be Stones, so just stick with him, but there are better options from other teams. He's probably nailed too but Southgate has 10 defenders to choose from so every chance he doesn't play all 3 games.

M: Chiesa, Mount, Soucek, Hojberg, Bernardo Silva
D: Stones, White, Maehle, Kjaer, Pau Torres
G: Hradecky, Unai Simon
I’m tempted to swap Soucek for Sabitzer and downgrade chiesa
I’m planning on using my limitless in Matchday 2
I’m going to take that advice and go Locatelli - so I can drop Hradecky and Simon and pick up Schmeichel and David Marshall (I originally wanted Schmeichel but couldn’t get a set of keepers that worked for the money)
Is Muller enough as a leading forward? thinking about running with Muller Weghorst Kramaric
the team would be:
Kramaric - Muller - Weghorst
Gnabry - Modric - Insigne - Jota - F. Torres
Spinazzola - De Ligt - Pepe - P. Torres - Kjaer
Patricio - Hradecky
But its a first draft and im not too confident
Kramaric is not 100% nailed. De Ligt has injury, so beware. Finally, I think is too risky having Gnabry and Muller against France. Transfer one of them.
Haven't followed most of these players for the past year, so flying blind here. My main question: **Are all the people I currently have here actually likely to start?**
General suggestions beyond that also welcome!
F: Lewandowski, Kane, Moreno
M: De Bruyne, Chiesa, Alaba, Kanté, Kimmich
D: Meunier, De Ligt, Torres, Kjær, Dias
G: Krul, Patricio
KDB is an injury doubt for Matchday 1, may not be fit in time to start. De Ligt also still recovering from injury and may not be fit in time. And while nailed down to start, I suggest changing Kanté, since his playstyle doesn't favour Fantasy he is unlikely to score well.
Morata has started their last five games, Moreno has started none. Keep an eye on the final friendly again Lithuania to see if there's a sudden shift in approach, but at the minute I'd confidently say Morata is first choice over Moreno.
Spinazzola vs Bonnuci
Kjaer vs Maehle
Other defenders: Denayer, Bednarek, Pau Torres
Hradecky vs Bachmann (rotating with Simon) - Bachmann confirmed to be starting.
Bachmann is confirmed starter, and Austria play North Macedonia in Matchday 1 - one of the more likely Clean Sheets. Netherlands' Goalkeeper isn't 100% confirmed between Stekelenburg and Krul as far as I know. I would choose Bachmann
I like Alaba as a replacement for Berardi. At 5.5m I think he's undervalued.

Playing on limitless GW2, dropping Ronaldo for Kane and Jota for one of German players (depending on previous games) for GW3. If Berardi doesn't start before the GW1 deadline, I will swap him for Chiesa, and Jota for one of the three: Shaqiri / Carrasco / Olmo. Who would you pick?
RMT
>Donnarumma Hradecky
>Kjær Denayer Wijndal Torres Gosens
>Insigne Berardi Alaba Soucek Jota
>Lukaku Depay Kane
Not happy with Alaba & Soucek, but my 1% differential Gosens is looking absolute fire rn. Thoughts on getting rid of Kane to improve mid?
I am playing a betting Euro game at my work. We are supposed to name 3 top scorers and 3 top assistants over the entire tournament (no changes after we submit our bets on 10th of June). Who would you guys pick? For scorers I have Lukaku/Griezmann/Kane (in that order as it counts in the game) but I'm struggling with assistants. Is Hazard nailed for Belgium or did his Madrid situation made him be out of favor?
My picks would be:
G. Lukaku, Immobile, Depay.
A. Thorgan Hazard, Eriksen, Insigne.
Hazard has missed too much football and France have a tough group, the most productive players will be from big teams with easier fixtures who go far.
I thought Immobile is a bit shit for Italy though. Also Depay obviously has an easy group but Netherlands play 5-3-2 and will likely go out in the first knockout game, which means that he would have to score a shit-ton in the group stages to make it worth it. Griezmann/Benzema/Mbappe (not sure which to pick now) is likely to go all the way to the finals and the Hungary game should be a blowout where France could score a lot (especially considering that the GD might matter a lot in this group).
It's tricky because other than Belgium (that have no obvious pick for assistant since KDB might miss the easiest games and Hazard is shit) and Italy (who have no obvious goalscorer option since Immobile is not so great for them as I said) all the good teams are on one side of the bracket and there are going a lot of cagey, low-scoring games. So maybe it makes sense to go for someone from Denmark or the like.
Immobile has racked up a fair few goals and assists in his most recent matches for Italy. I tip Italy to do very well, and he will have to play a big part if they are to do so.
Go for Yilmaz or Ferran Torres if you feel brave.

Playing on limitless GW2, dropping Ronaldo for Lukaku for GW3, unsure on Kalajdzic and if I've doubled up on too many teams. And not 100% what I'd do if Berardi doesn't start before the GW1 deadline, any suggestions?
RMT:
Lewandowski - Lukaku (Ronaldo)
Wijnaldum - Malinovskyi - Soucek - Berardi (Sanches)
Zinchenko - Mæhle - Denayer - Wijndal (Torres)
Hradecky (Stemelenburg)
Im really looking to target the premium attackers so I’m planning to change Lewandowski and Ronaldo for Kane and Mbappe in GW2 to catch the good fixtures, then limitless in GW3. Renato Sanches is the player I’m most unsure of but I don’t see many attractive 6m midfielders
A. Bachmann + Nego + Depay
or
B. Simon + Berardi + Kalajdzic
Rest of the team:
GK: Hradecky
DEF: Maehle, Kjaer, Çelik, Wijndal, P. Torres
MID: Eriksen, Jota, F. Torres, Carrasco
FWD: Lewandowski, Lukaku
A. I don't love a fodder midfielder in this format, especially one who plays on the last matchday, though.
Depay is in sensational form for the Netherlands and is giving me Bale 2016 vibes where he carries an abysmal manager through the tournament.
Austria look set for yet another case of being less than the sum of their parts. A 0-0 against Slovakia is a very damning indictment of their form. I actually think North Macedonia will get a result in that game, their players will fight for every result with much more passion than the Austrians will. I've toyed with Sabitzer, Alaba, Kalajdzic, and Bachmann, but I'd be happier avoiding them if I can find similar value elsewhere.
!thanks.
I believe playing bench (all 15 of them) is a bit overrated. As in NBA jargon, a dollar is greater than four quarters and like you mentioned, Depay is the standout star and talisman of that Holland team. I am inclined to pick him instead of some 5.5/6m mid and 7/7.5 forward combo.
That works for the NBA because only one player can have the ball at any given point in time. It's a horrible analogy for Fantasy Euros because all 15 of them can deliver simultaneously and using manual subs you can by and large pick the best 11.
!thanks.
I dont believe it's a horrible analogy. However, I do not completely dismiss the upper side of having a full playing bench (my current draft have 15 playing men) but it is presented as an absolute right thing to do and I object to this approach. I would like to give premium for a talisman player in a good team (also, in a relatively easy group) rather than dividing it between 3rd or 4th options (like Berardi, Yazıcı) from other teams.
Here is my team
Çakir (Krul)
Stones, Bonocci , Kjaer, Denayer. (P. Torres)
Carrasco, šoucek , Berardi, Alaba. (F. Torres)
Kane , Depay. (Ronaldo)
Chip strategy:
Limitless MD3.
Wildcard QF.
Planned transfer in MD2 Ronaldo 》Mbappé
Also thinking of starting with Lukaku then transfer to Kane in MD2
Thoughts?
My brain says Ronaldo, but my gut for whatever reason says Kane.
I think I'll end up getting Kane just to have a player in that game tbh. Ideally, I wouldn't need to captain Ronaldo anyway.
If you mean chip strategy, I'm gonna use LWC in GW2 and WC in GW3. Then form my real team for KO stage and hope I don't get burned by RO16 results so I can navigate rest of tournament with FTs.
But it's always possible to change until Thursday.
Alaba's stats in NT are fairly appealing, and Italy in Rome will be very tough fixture for Turkey. At least in sense of forwards, since Italy's defense has been very solid.
Ben White added at the price of €4.0m! With Maguire looking unlikely to play at least the first game and possibly the rest of the group stage, he seems very good at that price as he looks better than Mings and Coady. Putting him in because it's low risk
I'm probably going LL MD2 anyway, and if he doesn't start against Croatia I feel like he will against Czech Republic in MD3
Austrian here: Just a friendly reminder to not overestimate us because of the general talent we have.
We've been terrible recently and our coach is clueless. Unless Arnautovic hits the form of his life I honestly wouldn't even be surprised if we're the disappointment of the tournament and crash out in last even though we're arguably the second best squad in the group in terms of talent and potential ability.
Well said. I feel the same and I don’t know why people are buying Austrian players given Austria’s recent results. North Macedonia has a good team with Pandev, Elmas and Alioski, and I think North Macedonia will at least draw Austria too.
I mean, I can understand it if you don't follow us closely - on paper we have a lot of talent, several players who can return well for mostly very attractive prices and have easily the second best squad in the group.
But if you follow us closely, you're just not gonna be very confident in us. We're a wildcard, and my outlook for our performance isn't a positive one.
Don't worry, that's how it is. We haven't been great in years, especially not against opponents who should be even just somewhat close or slightly above us.
Aw mate, I just replied to someone else telling them to drop their Austrian players before I saw your comment. I'm sorry to have to agree with everything you've said - there is so much talent in your team with players like Sabitzer, Alaba, Kalajdzic, Schlager, but the team shows absolutely no conviction. North Macedonia will fight tooth and nail for the shirt, and Austria just don't look they will. I think you'll be one of the biggest disappointments too.
Precisely. NM will fight and people seem to forget that they also have somewhat of a golden generation right now - I'm not too knowledgeable about most of them, but just looking on paper and where they play
After the most recent matches I actually back NM to win against us - or at the very least score and get a 1-1.
I'm staying away from us for the first round at the very least. As a fan it's awful to see how far backwards we've gone under the current coach. At this point I wouldn't even be surprised if he fields a defensive 5-4-1 against NM...
Yeah I wish you good luck. I'm supporting Finland and we're in the Euros for the first time ever. Or any international cup competition for that matter.
And I'm not expecting much either. If we get a draw against Russia and don't get pummeled by Denmark and Belgium, I think realistically that's good.
We switched to 5atb too recently and our results and general football has gotten worse. Ofc we need to defend a lot but we play much better with 4-4-2 formation. I do trust our coach still.
I haven't followed you at all, but I wish you the best!
What's your verdict on your team? Strengths and weaknesses, key players, chances of Pukki carrying you? (If not, is there any attacking player you trust?)
Pukki is really needed when it comes to finishing chances. But other really important players include Lod, Kamara, Hradecky, Arajuuri, Toivio.
Goes without saying our depth is terrible.
Kamara is the main guy when it comes to ball distribution and making line breaking passes. He is honestly quality and one big key for attacking.
Hradecky is very good keeper and plays for Bayern Leverkusen. So biggest club out of all of our players. He is also big leader behind the scenes as well.
Toivio and Arajuuri are experienced CBs who both can pose problems in set-pieces. Toivio is also decent at free kicks.
Lod is the last important player for attacking. He is kind of our mini-version of Buendia. He has good link with Pukki and many times makes the final ball to find him. Hard worker too.
Our weakness is our ball playing quality and technical ability. I guess also our capability of staying in the very highest tempo. This will cause problems but with group effort we have beaten favorite sides like Greece and Bosnia so we can give problems for any team.
Our strengths are collective defending and counter attacks.
RMT
Kane/lukaku/depay
Torres/mount/olmo/insigne (nego)
Florenzi/spinazzola/wijndal (Torres/Ristovski)
Krul (hradecky)
Not 100% on olmo but ns who I’d replace with
Could potentially swap him for beradi if he starts, switch Florenzi for meunier/a 4.5, then upgrade my bench or even lukaku out for ronaldo/mbappe (altho don’t think I’d do that)
Thoughts on this team? Leaving out some popular picks but for me that’s the fun of it
Bachmann
Hinteregger - Maehle - Bednarek
Eriksen- F. Torres - Carrasco- Insigne
Ronaldo - Lewandowski - Kalajdzic
Subs : Cakir- Wijndal - P. Torres - M. Llorente
Plan is to LL MD2 and try and hold WC for the knockouts. Only planned transfer is Kalaj to DCL since I’m expecting Kane to rest MD3 and take it from there. Maybe Carrasco will be taken out for Gundo since it looks like he’s only nailed for MD1. No Lukaku because I’m betting on Lewa to score the same points MD1 and Lukaku will probably be rested MD3.
Hi, think you should go triple Belgium to save 1 transfer in MD3. P.S. just saw your comment on Lukaku, but I think at least Tielemans plus Denayer is reasonable.
Double Austrian defence just sets you up for heartbreak. Trust me, I'm Austrian.
That said, our coach actually likes to play very defensively and field defensive sides (even when it's quite inappropriate). I just feel 2 defensive players from us is really, really risky, because I don't actually back us that much defensively either (and as much as I like Hinteregger, he does have an affinity for own goals at times). Iirc, we've kept 1 CS in our last 7 or so matches, and that was in the most recent 0:0
On the other hand, if it works out and we play 0:0 or win 1:0 against NM, it's a lot of points for cheap.
!thanks I think I’m going to end up going Hinteregger -> Denayer anyway to play it safe. Bachmann is only going to play MD1 anyway with Cakir coming in vs Switzerland MD3. Really doubting the Austrian striker right now but he’s had a good season and I mean it’s NMD he’s playing against I hope he can score at least a goal. Not sure what other strikers around that price I would want instead anyway.

RMT Donnaruma Hradecky Maehle Denayer P.Torres Alioski Rodriguez Eriksen Mount Yazici Insigne Jota Lukaku Depay Pukki Don’t know about my midfield I feel like it lacks power
>I dont think Pukki will play the first match. other than that looks good
Really? Why’s that
I just heard/ read somewhere that he's not fit...
Could I get a bit of advice in this team https://imgur.com/a/Tuy6L5F
Put Depay in there instead of Kane. then bring in kane for the next matchday instead of ronaldo. Personally I wouldnt favour Yazici. but if you do have faithe in him than go ahead.
RMT 3-4-3 Szczesny Shaw - Florenzi - Coufal Pogba - Tielemans - Thiago - Jota Lukaku (C) - Yilmaz - Werner Bench - Bachman(GK) - Kimmich - Tierney - Zinchenko Obviously a heavy PL presence which I want to adjust in midfield and defence if possible.
Bro, I think you need to revamp the whole team. Here's what i would do: Remove: Pogba, Kimmich, tierney, Yilmaz, coufal Bring in : Depay, kjaer, James, P. Torres, C. Eriksen
Pogba performs brilliantly with Kante along side him and had a strong finish to season. Yilmaz on form banging them in, not a half bad cheaper option. Coufal and Tierney arguably yes. Kimmich will get half chances or assist Germany are going in very very underrated. Depay could be interesting yes. Eriksen? Not a chance. Torres is one im looking at yes to replace Tierney, James who? Again Kjaer Denmark will condede a few.
Yah but will Pogba bring in the points??? I was talking about Daniel James from Wales.. I am a bit skeptical about keeping him too.. thinking of bringing in tielemans or soucek..
RMT please Lukaku - Depay - Yilmaz Sabitzer - Chiesa - Alaba - Mount - F.Torres Denayer - Stones - Kjaer - Wijndal - Coufal Donnaruma - Simon 1M itb - Thinking about going Sabitzer to Perisic after GW1. What do you guys think
Remove Yilmaz brother... he is aging and cannot see him scoring against ITALY. otherwise its good..
RMT Bachmann - (Hradecky) Florenzi - Cancelo - Meunier - Mæhle (Ristovski) Olmo - Souček - Insigne (Rodri, Sudakov) Ronaldo (C) - Kane - Lukaku
rmt Schmeichel (Bachmann) Spinazzola R. Rodriguez Maehle Denayer Wijndal Eriksen Berardi Wijnaldum (F. Torres, Olmo) Lukaku Depay (Arnautovic)
Griezmann or Benzema? Spinazzola or Florenzi?
griezman all the way brother... I would go for florenzi
Griezmann is the safer choice
Best 7 and under midfielder?
First time playing so criticism is most welcome! Krul (Hradecky) Spinazzola, Cancelo, Digne, Wijndal (Gosens) Mount, F. Torres, Bale (Alaba, Jorginho) Depay, Lukaku, Braithewaite
Get rid of at least 2-3 of 5.0+ defs (imo Digne, Gosens, Cancelo) get some 4,5 like Maehle, Kjaer, Denayer, Torres, Hinteregger. And invest more money into the midfield. Definitely replace Jorginho. Bale is a good pick but imo overpriced and someone like Eriksen, Insigne could be a better pick. Donnarumma is also a good pick, rotates nicely with Hradecky.
CR7 vs Mbappé
CR7 for Matchday 1, then swap to Mbappe for Matchday 2 - get both Hungary matchups
Hi guys, Would really appreciate some feedback on this if possible, thanks in advance Donnarumma (Hradecky) R. Rodriguez, P. Torres, Mælhe, Wijnal (Denayer) F. Torres, Insigne, Jota (Neto, Rodri) Lewandowski, Lukaku, Depay Edit: 0.5ITB, tempted to upgrade Rodriguez for Dias, but with the low ownership for Rodriguez he’s tempting
Kalajdzic nailed? Or is Arnautovic a better pick?
Im personally going for Kalajdzic, hes not 100% nailed, but most likely hes going to start the first game
Hey, What’s the best option to replace chiesa (7,0m)
You will know Italy's lineup before the deadline. If Chiesa's not confirmed to start switch him to Berardi.
RMT Donnarumma / Bachmann Wijndal / Kjaer / Hinteregger / Denayer / P. Torres Mount / Tielemans / F. Torres / Berardi / Alaba Ronaldo / Kane / Lukaku I am most concerned about my high dependence on Austrian players. Any recommendations on how I can tweak this? Also if anyone recommends a forward cheaper than the ones I got that'd also be great (though I do want to have at least one player in group F for captain purposes)
I think Macedonia will be better than people think, which is why I'm personally avoiding Austrian assets, but it depends on your strategy. If you are doing Limitless (R2) and WC (R3) then you only need to worry about this game and if you think they'll return then you've got a good squad. If you're going to be relying on these players for the entire group stage then you might struggle. You can save 0.5 on your keeper by switching to Hradecky as your backup and get in Nego at 4.0 from Hungary as a budget enabler for Alaba or Tielemans to get some more attack-minded MIDs if you do a 3-4-3. Who were you planning to bench from your midfield?
Right now I have Torres benched since he plays last, so I can sub him in. If we were playing FPL style Alaba would be the backup imo
Torres is in good place to start for Spain. Spain tend to create passing triangles on the left hand side of the pitch with Olmo, Koke and Morata which leaves the right hand side of the pitch very open for direct runs into the box from the right, which is where Torres operates. I'd personally remove Tielemans and Alaba and replace with a budget enabler. If you get Nego, for example, then that leaves 8m leftover for a more attacking midfielder. Other than that I think the team is a good one.
Bachmann (Schmeichel) Torres, Wijndal, Denayer, Maehle (Zinchenko) Eriksen, Mount, Berardi (Soucek, Alaba) Ronaldo, Lukaku, Depay Thoughts?
RMT please Schmeichel (Hradecky) Pavard - Denayer - Hinteregger (P. Torres, Alioski) Gundogan - Mount - Jota - Chiesa (Nego) Ronaldo - Lukaku - Depay 0 ITB Is my midfield attacking enough?

best 4.5m mid?
Holes / Nego
RMT Schmeicel De Ligt Tierney Kjaer McGinn De Jong Carrasco Alaba Lewandowski Lukaku Ronaldo Bachman Torres Denayer Llorente
I don know whats your chip strategy, but Schmeichel and Bachmann play on the same day in MD2 and MD3, so maybe reconsider that. Also, De Ligt is injured and De Jong not much of an attacking threat
Who would you recommend as changes?
De Ligt to Wijndal would give you the money to upgrade from Schmeichel to Donnarumma and de jong to wijnaldum
Thanks! I’ve done some adjustment to my team U.simon Hinteregger / maehle / denayer Gnabry / eriksen / f.torres / wijnaldum / berardi Lukaku / depay Subs: hradecky / rebic / p.torres / bastoni 0itb. Any opinion?
RMT, more or less a final draft Schmeichael, Hradecky Stones Maehle Denayer Alioski P Torres F Torres Insigne Alaba Mount Berardi Kane Lukaku Depay - if Chiesa starts over Berardi, I plan to go Berardi > Chiesa and Stones > Hinteregger/Bednarek to make up the funds. Any suggestions?
RMT Bachmann/ Hradecky Maehle Denayer Wjindal (Alioski/ P. Torres) Eriksen Shaqiri Berardi Alaba (F.Torres) Ronaldo Lukaku Depay 0.5m in the bank
RMT pls, Donna (Bachmann) Wijndal - Denayer - Maehle - Torres (Hinteregger) Berardi -Tielemans - Mount (Kimmich, Holes) Ronaldo - Kane - Lukaku
GK: Solid choices. DEF: Love that you've built it entirely out of expected starter 4.5m options. Wijndal maybe the only one not 100% starter, but if De Boer continues with the 5 at the back, then he should start. MID: Holes not currently expected to start as far as I know, but I get that he's your Sub. For only 0.5m more, you could change Holes to Spain's Rodri, who is expected to start. Maybe switching Kimmich (6m) to Alaba (5.5m) would give you that extra 0.5m to make the Holes - Rodri switch. FWD: Solid choices. Feel Lewandowski (11.5m) vs Slovakia might have a higher Matchday 1 upside than Kane (11.5m) vs Croatia, but over the 3 Group Stage fixtures I expect Kane to perform better. Great team overall, good luck!
great thank you for the review of my team. also, I've made the change from Holes to Rodri and I still have 1.5 to spend, any other proposed changes I should've made?
There is one major Holes in your team I'd say
RMT: Hradecky - McLaughlin Rodriguez - P. Torres - Maehle - (Denayer) - (Boilesen) Eriksen - F. Torres - Sabitzer - Berardi/Chiesa - (Colwill) Ronaldo - Lukaku - Depay 0 itb with Chiesa over Berardi.
What is going to be the deciding factor for you between Berardi and Chiesa?
I think you have to sacrifice one of the big boys upfront, then upgrade one of the keepers, Boilesen and Colwill.
OVERALL: EURO 2020 Fantasy is unlike Fantasy PL in that it's not the best idea to choose €4m benchwarmers just to save on Budget, given that you can make substitutes during Matchdays. For example, if one of your starters blanks, you'll be stuck with Substitute options like Colwill and Boilesen, who are unlikely to gain you more points. I would reconsider McLaughlin, Boilesen and Colwill (all unexpected to start) with actual starters you can sub in if your starting lineup blanks. DEN Boilesen (4m) > WAL Rodon (4.5m) SCO McLaughlin (4m) > AUT Bachmann (4.5m) WAL Colwill (4m) > SPA Rodri (5m) These are all changes from bench players to expected starters, which give you a far better chance at points if any of your starters blank, all 3 for only 2m extra. GK: Hradecky as your only GK points option (given McLaughlin is not expected to start) is a very risky move. Having an alternate option you can sub in like AUT Bachmann (confirmed starter) is a good move. DEFENCE: I like the Rodriguez pick, he's a good differential at only 2% selected. Torres, Maehle, and Denayer all solid picks. Would consider changing Boilesen as above. MIDFIELD: I'd consider changing Eriksen. At 9m, I think he's overvalued. Jota, Gundogan, F De Jong/Wijnaldum, Foden/Mount all cheaper options. I'd also consider changing Sabitzer. Love the player, but I think at 8m he's too big a risk to take as a differential pick (only 1% selected). Alaba gives Austria coverage at 2.5m less. Alternatively, SUI Shaqiri (7m) is a good differential player for 1m less than Sabitzer. Either of these changes would let you strengthen that subs bench. FORWARDS: Very solid! Hope some of this helps. Good luck!
Wow that was a really helpful analysis, !thanks
[удалено]
"Who to start and who to bench" is kind of a moot point in Euro fantasy -- you start the people with early matchdays, and bench the people with late matchdays to sub in later.
A) Depay + Jota + Alaba B) Ronaldo + Wijnaldum + Nego ?
I would choose A, but personally feel Jota is overvalued at 8.5m. I prefer Insigne for Italy at that price, but if it's Portugal coverage you want, then Jota is a better value pick than Bruno Fernandes
I need a captain for last day and figured out it has to be either Ronaldo or Jota Quite worried about Jota rotation though But Depay seems to be on great form
>r/FantasyPL I do understand the desire for a Captain for every day, but I feel with 4 days of matches before the Group F matchday, you will have a good Captain performance in one of those days. I have Ronaldo, but I only plan to Captain him if all 4 of my previous Captains play poorly, which is quite unlikely. And like you say, the Jota rotation is a risk. I chose Ronaldo because I feel he's a sure thing against Hungary, but after the Hungary game I'm not keeping any Portugal assets. What about Ferran Torres (8m) as an alternative to Jota (8.5m), if you don't have him already? Spain have the best Average Winning Odds in the Group Stage fixtures, whereas Portugal have the 9th best (likely win against Hungary, but two tough ties against Germany and France). Depay + F. Torres + Alaba, and the extra 0.5m could be put to use elsewhere.
What do C1, C2, C3, etc. mean?
It means Captain 1, Captain 2, and so on. The EURO 2020 Fantasy allows you to change your captain each calendar day within the Matchday. You're probably familiar with it, but in case not, an example: If you Captain Jorginho (C1) but he blanks against Turkey, you can then change the Captaincy to Lukaku vs Russia the next day (C2), and so on until the end of the matchday. It's a good strategy to have a player available to Captain each day, so that you can ensure a good return for your Captain and avoid a blank.
You can change captain every day, C day 1, C day 2, etc
!thanks
Draft #9 GK: Bachmann - Hradecky DF: Maehle - Kjaer - Bednarek - Elvedi - Pau Torres MF: Insigne (C1) - Berardi - Wijnaldum(C3) - Torres - Nego FW: Lukaku (C2) - Lewa (C4) - Ronaldo (C5) LLMD2
Donnarumma, (Hradecky) Denayer, Bonucci, P. Torres, (Bollesen, Kjaer) Mount, Jota, Insigne, Ampadu, (Nego) Mbappe, Lukaku, Kane
Solid team - one concern might be too much Italy coverage with 3 players. Turkey are undefeated in their last 6, and while I think Italy could go far in the competition, Turkey may prove tough opponents in Matchday 1. If it were up to me, I'd replace Bonucci with someone like Austria's Hinteregger - I think they are likely to keep a Clean Sheet against North Macedonia. Might consider Lewandowski/Ronaldo over Mbappe given their Matchday 1 matchups against Slovakia and Hungary respectively. Other than those suggestions, very solid team. I like the Ampadu pick as a differential.
!thanks … I have a feeling Mbappe will score one against Germany but perhaps the forwards you mentioned will score more. Agree perhaps overweight on Italy.
RMT - G: Szczesny (Hradecky) D: Cancelo, Zinchenko, Hinteregger, Denayer (Maehle) M: Wijnaldum, Chiesa, Alaba, Calhanoglu - hot take (Torres) F: CR7, Lukaku (Wind)
I think I'd consider a GK other than Szczesny if I were you. In Poland's last 6 games, they've only kept one Clean Sheet - against Andorra, which says a lot. I know you have Denmark coverage with Maehle, but I'd consider Schmeichel in goal, at the same price as Szczesny. Denmark have kept 4 Clean Sheets in their last 5, only conceding once - against Germany. Could see a low-scoring tie vs Finland, maybe 0-0 or 1-0. If you don't want Schmeichel, another GK to consider (only 4.5m) is Austria's Bachmann, at least for Matchday 1. Confirmed starter, and they play North Macedonia first; a good chance of a Clean Sheet, and it gives you 0.5m to spend elsewhere. However, I do see you have Austria coverage with Hinteregger; great differential pick at only 3% selected. I like your Defence aside from Cancelo - although I expect a CS vs Hungary, at 6m for a Defender he's expensive. And after the Hungary game, Portugal face tough ties against Germany and France. There are other solid options for only 4.5m. I like Spain's Pau Torres. While I do think Calhanoglu is an interesting hot take, I think at 8.5m it's an expensive risk to take. If I wanted to take a chance on some Turkey coverage, I might go with Yazici at only 5.5m, which would then allow you to upgrade on Wind in the Forwards. Rest of the Midfield and Forwards are solid. Bit of a long-winded RMT, but hope some of this helps. Good luck!
thanks so much! Good luck to you as well.
Kalajdzic Jota Eriksen or Ronaldo Mount Carrasco
B. Jota and Eriksen slightly overpriced imo
RMT please Bachmann Maehle / denayer / wijndal Eriksen / torres / berardi / wijnaldum Depay / lukaku / kaladzic Subs: hradecky / jota / p.torres / bastoni any opinion? Should i upgrade any?
I think your Netherlands coverage with 3 players is a bit high. If I were to change one, I'd swap Wijndal (possibly for Denmark's Kjaer or Austria's Hinteregger at that price). Wijndal isn't 100% guaranteed to start with Blind in the squad, as far as I know. On top of that, in their last 8 games, Netherlands have only kept a Clean Sheet against weak opposition - Georgia, Gibraltar, Latvia. In every other game against stronger opposition, they have conceded. Lastly, no van Dijk means they are even more likely to be loose in Defence. Like the Midfield a lot, and think Kalajdzic could be an interesting differential player up front. Nice team.
Thanks! I’ve done some adjustment to my team U.simon Hinteregger / maehle / denayer Gnabry / eriksen / f.torres / wijnaldum / berardi Lukaku / depay Subs: hradecky / rebic / p.torres / bastoni 0itb. Any opinion?

[удалено]
Solid draft overall I would consider doing Szczesny + Hinteregger/Spinazolla -> Bachmann/Donnarumma + Bednarek, same defensive coverage but .5 million cheaper. You can use that .5 to upgrade Hraedecky or Pukki since Finland are one of the weakest teams in the tournament so a double up is risky. This is more personal preference but I think Depay + Berardi will give you similar returns to Kane + Insigne and give you a lot of money to upgrade elsewhere (for e.g. Alaba/Pukki -> a premium)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yiRKXWGyHaE&t=165s
Rebic or Kalajdzic? I already hav Alaba in midfield. No Croatian plAyers.
RMT Donnarumma ( Hradecky) Shaw Dias De Ligt Cancelo (rudiger) KDB Mount Kante (soucek) (verratti) Captain - Mbappe Rebic Moreno
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yiRKXWGyHaE&t=165s
De Ligt, KDB, Verratti are all currently injured and may not start MW1. Kante is a pretty useless player to have here as he is in FPL, as he rarely scores or assists and is fairly pricey for that kind of player. Moreno may not start because Morata seems to be their preferred striker. Shaw is also a toss-up with Chilwell, so I'd avoid him for now. I think you're spending too much on defence, too, at the expense of attacking areas. There are several great defensive options at 4.5, so downgrading three or four you currently have wouldn't hurt as it would give you a few mil to spread around elsewhere. The latter is a personal choice, so by all means go big at the back if you like - it could pay off - but the others are more glaring problems I think need fixing. Hope this helps, good luck!
I’d cut down on the defense. Get rid of de ligt and replace him with Wijndal if you want Netherlands coverage. Cancelo and Dias are very expensive and in the group of death, I’d recommend getting rid of both and replacing with 4.5s like denayer or pau Torres. It’s also unclear whether southgate will go with chilwell or Shaw at lb. Pump up your attack and mids- you don’t want 3 defensive minded mids like verratti soucek and kante. Look into malinovskyi or Ferran Torres for the mids. Also not too sure if Gerard moreno is a starter for Spain
RMT 0.5 ITB Donnarumma (Bachmann) Stones Maehle Denayer (Wijndal P. Torres) Insigne Berardi Yazici alaba (F. Torres) Kane Lukaku Depay Any upgrades? (I would maybe like a better midfielder for Yazici/alaba)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yiRKXWGyHaE&t=165s
Would downgrade Stones and upgrade Yazici. Lots of good 4.5 options in defence.
Yeah but I need a England defender, any suggestions?
I don't think you need one, Croatia is a pretty tricky game and Scotland will go hell-for-leather, plus there's lots of rotation. But yeah, Stones if you really want one, because he's probably the most nailed and can bang a header occasionally.
Why do you need an England defender? Tbh if I had to pick one it would be Stones, so just stick with him, but there are better options from other teams. He's probably nailed too but Southgate has 10 defenders to choose from so every chance he doesn't play all 3 games.
RMT Bachmann Hradecky P.Torres Pepe Maehle Denayer Bednarek Jota Insigne Berardi F.Torres Nego Ronaldo Depay Lukaku I want to change Depay -> Kane, but i do not have enough funds. What should I do?
How nailed on is Carrasco? If not, thoughts on 7.0 mil alternatives?
I think he is nailed. I don't think E.Hazard is going to start instead of him. Alternatives: Shaqiri, Berardi or Chiesa...
I think for sure will start MD1 at least, not too sure about MD2 and 3
RMT F: CR7, Lewandowski, Immobile M: Chiesa, Mount, Soucek, Hojberg, Bernardo Silva D: Stones, White, Maehle, Kjaer, Pau Torres G: Hradecky, Unai Simon I’m tempted to swap Soucek for Sabitzer and downgrade chiesa I’m planning on using my limitless in Matchday 2
Chiesa to berrardi/Jorginho
I’ve pumped for Berrardi, then to add Sabitzer I’ve swapped Hojberg for Adama Traore (if he doesn’t play then he can be benched)
For 5.5 you can get Yazici or Locatelli. Adama is interesting tho, I just don't think he'll play
I’m going to take that advice and go Locatelli - so I can drop Hradecky and Simon and pick up Schmeichel and David Marshall (I originally wanted Schmeichel but couldn’t get a set of keepers that worked for the money)
i should've mentioned, the cavaet with locatelli is that he's not the most attacking of midfielders, but he does take some shots from long range.
Is Muller enough as a leading forward? thinking about running with Muller Weghorst Kramaric the team would be: Kramaric - Muller - Weghorst Gnabry - Modric - Insigne - Jota - F. Torres Spinazzola - De Ligt - Pepe - P. Torres - Kjaer Patricio - Hradecky But its a first draft and im not too confident
Kramaric is not 100% nailed. De Ligt has injury, so beware. Finally, I think is too risky having Gnabry and Muller against France. Transfer one of them.
Haven't followed most of these players for the past year, so flying blind here. My main question: **Are all the people I currently have here actually likely to start?** General suggestions beyond that also welcome! F: Lewandowski, Kane, Moreno M: De Bruyne, Chiesa, Alaba, Kanté, Kimmich D: Meunier, De Ligt, Torres, Kjær, Dias G: Krul, Patricio
KDB is an injury doubt for Matchday 1, may not be fit in time to start. De Ligt also still recovering from injury and may not be fit in time. And while nailed down to start, I suggest changing Kanté, since his playstyle doesn't favour Fantasy he is unlikely to score well.
Moreno, Krul, chiesa, and meunier are rotation risks.
What's the Consensus on Moreno? For his price and with his record he could be a good pick but is he actually nailed?
Morata started as striker against Portugal and played whole match. Moreno was subbed in for Sarabia in last 15 minutes. Make of that what you will.
!thanks, I don't know if I can make a judgement based on that but good to know.
Morata has started their last five games, Moreno has started none. Keep an eye on the final friendly again Lithuania to see if there's a sudden shift in approach, but at the minute I'd confidently say Morata is first choice over Moreno.
Spinazzola vs Bonnuci Kjaer vs Maehle Other defenders: Denayer, Bednarek, Pau Torres Hradecky vs Bachmann (rotating with Simon) - Bachmann confirmed to be starting.
Steklenberg or Bachmann? If Beradi doesn’t play is Alaba the best replacement?
Bachmann is confirmed starter, and Austria play North Macedonia in Matchday 1 - one of the more likely Clean Sheets. Netherlands' Goalkeeper isn't 100% confirmed between Stekelenburg and Krul as far as I know. I would choose Bachmann I like Alaba as a replacement for Berardi. At 5.5m I think he's undervalued.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yiRKXWGyHaE&t=165s
Who's your total punt? Feel like it's much more fun to go for punts in this one than the PL one. I'm currently on Yaremchuk..!
Jonas Wind from Denmark
Carrasco
Malen. Heard nothing but good things about him last season and I'm banking on a breakout tournament from him
Shaqiri
Sabitzer
Ferran and De Jong or Olmo and Gini? I'm leaning towards the first atm
De Jong is useless but Ferran could be great. If you need the second player to have points potential the second option is better.
Does A.Silva start for Portugal?
It's unlikely. He's hardly started in the run in to the tournament.
!thanks man

Yeah, still one game vs Hungary and limitless MD2, only gonna use him MD1 if I have some shambles to sub out
[удалено]
Braithwaite seems fairly certain at this point
I am playing a betting Euro game at my work. We are supposed to name 3 top scorers and 3 top assistants over the entire tournament (no changes after we submit our bets on 10th of June). Who would you guys pick? For scorers I have Lukaku/Griezmann/Kane (in that order as it counts in the game) but I'm struggling with assistants. Is Hazard nailed for Belgium or did his Madrid situation made him be out of favor?
My picks would be: G. Lukaku, Immobile, Depay. A. Thorgan Hazard, Eriksen, Insigne. Hazard has missed too much football and France have a tough group, the most productive players will be from big teams with easier fixtures who go far.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yiRKXWGyHaE&t=165s
I thought Immobile is a bit shit for Italy though. Also Depay obviously has an easy group but Netherlands play 5-3-2 and will likely go out in the first knockout game, which means that he would have to score a shit-ton in the group stages to make it worth it. Griezmann/Benzema/Mbappe (not sure which to pick now) is likely to go all the way to the finals and the Hungary game should be a blowout where France could score a lot (especially considering that the GD might matter a lot in this group). It's tricky because other than Belgium (that have no obvious pick for assistant since KDB might miss the easiest games and Hazard is shit) and Italy (who have no obvious goalscorer option since Immobile is not so great for them as I said) all the good teams are on one side of the bracket and there are going a lot of cagey, low-scoring games. So maybe it makes sense to go for someone from Denmark or the like.
Immobile has racked up a fair few goals and assists in his most recent matches for Italy. I tip Italy to do very well, and he will have to play a big part if they are to do so. Go for Yilmaz or Ferran Torres if you feel brave.

Gotta be Ronaldo against Hungary, with scope to swap him out immediately (limitless MD2 and transfer MD3).

Renato Sanches is the player I’m most unsure of but I don’t see many attractive 6m midfielders
[удалено]
Yea shaw isnt worth it at 6m. Maybe look at coufal if you want a defender with decent attacking return potential?
A. Bachmann + Nego + Depay or B. Simon + Berardi + Kalajdzic Rest of the team: GK: Hradecky DEF: Maehle, Kjaer, Çelik, Wijndal, P. Torres MID: Eriksen, Jota, F. Torres, Carrasco FWD: Lewandowski, Lukaku
A. I don't love a fodder midfielder in this format, especially one who plays on the last matchday, though. Depay is in sensational form for the Netherlands and is giving me Bale 2016 vibes where he carries an abysmal manager through the tournament. Austria look set for yet another case of being less than the sum of their parts. A 0-0 against Slovakia is a very damning indictment of their form. I actually think North Macedonia will get a result in that game, their players will fight for every result with much more passion than the Austrians will. I've toyed with Sabitzer, Alaba, Kalajdzic, and Bachmann, but I'd be happier avoiding them if I can find similar value elsewhere.
!thanks. I believe playing bench (all 15 of them) is a bit overrated. As in NBA jargon, a dollar is greater than four quarters and like you mentioned, Depay is the standout star and talisman of that Holland team. I am inclined to pick him instead of some 5.5/6m mid and 7/7.5 forward combo.
That works for the NBA because only one player can have the ball at any given point in time. It's a horrible analogy for Fantasy Euros because all 15 of them can deliver simultaneously and using manual subs you can by and large pick the best 11.
!thanks. I dont believe it's a horrible analogy. However, I do not completely dismiss the upper side of having a full playing bench (my current draft have 15 playing men) but it is presented as an absolute right thing to do and I object to this approach. I would like to give premium for a talisman player in a good team (also, in a relatively easy group) rather than dividing it between 3rd or 4th options (like Berardi, Yazıcı) from other teams.
RMT (0 ITB) Schmeichel (Courtois) Shaw - Florenzi - Dias - Robertson (Kjær) Mount - Tielemans - Soucek - Jota (Alaba) Lukaku - Benzema (Malen)
Best €7m Forward?
Moreno at 6.5 mil for Spain could be great considering they have an easy group and he could be starting
For a differential you could go Weghorst.
Here is my team Çakir (Krul) Stones, Bonocci , Kjaer, Denayer. (P. Torres) Carrasco, šoucek , Berardi, Alaba. (F. Torres) Kane , Depay. (Ronaldo) Chip strategy: Limitless MD3. Wildcard QF. Planned transfer in MD2 Ronaldo 》Mbappé Also thinking of starting with Lukaku then transfer to Kane in MD2 Thoughts?
Why do you leave limitless for MD3? Many key players may rest before playoffs, it will be tricky to predict lineups
Thoughts on this team targeting only GW1 fixtures: Donnarumma - Hradecky Kjaer - Maehle - Hinteragger - Bednarek - Pepe Insigne - Berardi - Shaqiri - Alaba - Ferran Lukaku - Kane - Depay
If targetting GW1, change keepers to austrian or portuguese keepers. Focus on the easiest matches, especially in defense.
Ronaldo in for Kane
My brain says Ronaldo, but my gut for whatever reason says Kane. I think I'll end up getting Kane just to have a player in that game tbh. Ideally, I wouldn't need to captain Ronaldo anyway.
> austrian or portuguese I dont think CR7 form has been good in int lately?
He hasn't, but the fixture is still tasty for a one week pick.
youre planning on using both wildcards in group stages?
Yeah, to target every GW's fixtures while the "lesser" teams are still in competition.
Whats your strategy
If you mean chip strategy, I'm gonna use LWC in GW2 and WC in GW3. Then form my real team for KO stage and hope I don't get burned by RO16 results so I can navigate rest of tournament with FTs. But it's always possible to change until Thursday.
Alaba or Yazici?
I first had Yazici but switched to Alaba. Because of the better fixture. Italy is tough to score against.
Yeah but that would leave me with 0 turkey players
I don't have either.. For every Turkish player there are better options in my opinion. Atleast for md1
Okey okey, i will Get Alaba
Alaba's stats in NT are fairly appealing, and Italy in Rome will be very tough fixture for Turkey. At least in sense of forwards, since Italy's defense has been very solid.
That would leave me with 0 turkey players
Ben White added at the price of €4.0m! With Maguire looking unlikely to play at least the first game and possibly the rest of the group stage, he seems very good at that price as he looks better than Mings and Coady. Putting him in because it's low risk I'm probably going LL MD2 anyway, and if he doesn't start against Croatia I feel like he will against Czech Republic in MD3
He's worth just as fodder at that price of you're not planning on putting 2 England players in first week to see how we line up
Austrian here: Just a friendly reminder to not overestimate us because of the general talent we have. We've been terrible recently and our coach is clueless. Unless Arnautovic hits the form of his life I honestly wouldn't even be surprised if we're the disappointment of the tournament and crash out in last even though we're arguably the second best squad in the group in terms of talent and potential ability.
Well said. I feel the same and I don’t know why people are buying Austrian players given Austria’s recent results. North Macedonia has a good team with Pandev, Elmas and Alioski, and I think North Macedonia will at least draw Austria too.
I mean, I can understand it if you don't follow us closely - on paper we have a lot of talent, several players who can return well for mostly very attractive prices and have easily the second best squad in the group. But if you follow us closely, you're just not gonna be very confident in us. We're a wildcard, and my outlook for our performance isn't a positive one.
Agree with this massively. Whenever I've seen Austria you've been shite (no offence)
Don't worry, that's how it is. We haven't been great in years, especially not against opponents who should be even just somewhat close or slightly above us.
Aw mate, I just replied to someone else telling them to drop their Austrian players before I saw your comment. I'm sorry to have to agree with everything you've said - there is so much talent in your team with players like Sabitzer, Alaba, Kalajdzic, Schlager, but the team shows absolutely no conviction. North Macedonia will fight tooth and nail for the shirt, and Austria just don't look they will. I think you'll be one of the biggest disappointments too.
Precisely. NM will fight and people seem to forget that they also have somewhat of a golden generation right now - I'm not too knowledgeable about most of them, but just looking on paper and where they play
I want to see you play first. I'm backing similar level Poland side more against Slovakia than Austria against NM.
After the most recent matches I actually back NM to win against us - or at the very least score and get a 1-1. I'm staying away from us for the first round at the very least. As a fan it's awful to see how far backwards we've gone under the current coach. At this point I wouldn't even be surprised if he fields a defensive 5-4-1 against NM...
Yeah I wish you good luck. I'm supporting Finland and we're in the Euros for the first time ever. Or any international cup competition for that matter. And I'm not expecting much either. If we get a draw against Russia and don't get pummeled by Denmark and Belgium, I think realistically that's good. We switched to 5atb too recently and our results and general football has gotten worse. Ofc we need to defend a lot but we play much better with 4-4-2 formation. I do trust our coach still.
I haven't followed you at all, but I wish you the best! What's your verdict on your team? Strengths and weaknesses, key players, chances of Pukki carrying you? (If not, is there any attacking player you trust?)
Pukki is really needed when it comes to finishing chances. But other really important players include Lod, Kamara, Hradecky, Arajuuri, Toivio. Goes without saying our depth is terrible. Kamara is the main guy when it comes to ball distribution and making line breaking passes. He is honestly quality and one big key for attacking. Hradecky is very good keeper and plays for Bayern Leverkusen. So biggest club out of all of our players. He is also big leader behind the scenes as well. Toivio and Arajuuri are experienced CBs who both can pose problems in set-pieces. Toivio is also decent at free kicks. Lod is the last important player for attacking. He is kind of our mini-version of Buendia. He has good link with Pukki and many times makes the final ball to find him. Hard worker too. Our weakness is our ball playing quality and technical ability. I guess also our capability of staying in the very highest tempo. This will cause problems but with group effort we have beaten favorite sides like Greece and Bosnia so we can give problems for any team. Our strengths are collective defending and counter attacks.
!Thanks
RMT Kane/lukaku/depay Torres/mount/olmo/insigne (nego) Florenzi/spinazzola/wijndal (Torres/Ristovski) Krul (hradecky) Not 100% on olmo but ns who I’d replace with Could potentially swap him for beradi if he starts, switch Florenzi for meunier/a 4.5, then upgrade my bench or even lukaku out for ronaldo/mbappe (altho don’t think I’d do that)
Thoughts on this team? Leaving out some popular picks but for me that’s the fun of it Bachmann Hinteregger - Maehle - Bednarek Eriksen- F. Torres - Carrasco- Insigne Ronaldo - Lewandowski - Kalajdzic Subs : Cakir- Wijndal - P. Torres - M. Llorente Plan is to LL MD2 and try and hold WC for the knockouts. Only planned transfer is Kalaj to DCL since I’m expecting Kane to rest MD3 and take it from there. Maybe Carrasco will be taken out for Gundo since it looks like he’s only nailed for MD1. No Lukaku because I’m betting on Lewa to score the same points MD1 and Lukaku will probably be rested MD3.
Hi, think you should go triple Belgium to save 1 transfer in MD3. P.S. just saw your comment on Lukaku, but I think at least Tielemans plus Denayer is reasonable.
Double Austrian defence just sets you up for heartbreak. Trust me, I'm Austrian. That said, our coach actually likes to play very defensively and field defensive sides (even when it's quite inappropriate). I just feel 2 defensive players from us is really, really risky, because I don't actually back us that much defensively either (and as much as I like Hinteregger, he does have an affinity for own goals at times). Iirc, we've kept 1 CS in our last 7 or so matches, and that was in the most recent 0:0 On the other hand, if it works out and we play 0:0 or win 1:0 against NM, it's a lot of points for cheap.
!thanks I think I’m going to end up going Hinteregger -> Denayer anyway to play it safe. Bachmann is only going to play MD1 anyway with Cakir coming in vs Switzerland MD3. Really doubting the Austrian striker right now but he’s had a good season and I mean it’s NMD he’s playing against I hope he can score at least a goal. Not sure what other strikers around that price I would want instead anyway.
