Euro fantasy football tips – Sunday June 26th preview
The fixtures
Here’s the fixtures from the BBC website:
Team news
- ROI defender Ward seems likely to play and forward Walters seems fit
- Slovakia def Svento and mid Mak have been battling muscle injuries.
FFgeek team plans
McDonalds format
I alread have Rami, Hector, De Bruyne, Payet, Muller and Giroud.
I’m going to sub McGovern who got 2 points for the Slovakian GK Kozacik. I will also bring in Meunier, the Belgian RB, for Perisic. I will change captain to Muller
The Sun Dream Team
I already have Hector, Rami and Payet
Perisic needs to go but at £3.5m it’s a tricky value to replicate. So no decision made there. The big question is whether to swap Ronaldo for Muller or Giroud and use up a transfer. If Gotze starts I may just risk it.
The telegraph format
I already have, Hector, Rami, Giroud and De Bruyne
I’ll be bringing in Payet, Muller, Lukaku, Gotze if he starts and Meunier. Just need to work out who is best to replace them with.
Some transfer options
Remember that there are no transfer options for the McDonalds format, just substitutions and captain changes. Telegraph (20 transfers in the knockout) and Sun (11 transfers in the knockout) you can bring in players between matches after the lineups (an hour before roughly) have been announced.
Also remember that different formats of the game classify different players in different positions
Defence
- A French defender – say Rami
- A German defender – say Hector
- A Belgian defender – say Meunier
Midfield
- Payet
- Pogba
- Gotze – if he starts
- Ozil
- De Bruyne
- Hazard
Forwards
- Giroud
- Griezmann
- Muller
- Lukaku
Some stats
Here’s the pre-tournament and Group stage stats for the attacking players and pre-tournament stats for the defenders
