Here’s our Euro fantasy football tips article as a preview for Thursday 7th July, the 2nd day of the semis. As usual we remind ourselves of the fixture and team news, the FFGeek team plans and some player options plus their stats.
Euro fantasy football tips – Thursday July 7th preview
The fixture
Here’s the fixture from the BBC website in UK time:
Team news
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) and you can bring in players between matches after the lineups (an hour before roughly) have been announced.
Here’s the possible lineups and team news/injuries from the UEFA site:
Schweinsteiger is fit to play according to the latest news. Interesting they have Umtiti starting instead of Rami
FFGeek team plans
As I said above, 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.
I’ll do transfers once the lineups are announced an hour or so before the game.
The McDonalds format
I’ve got 4 German players in Boateng, Draxler, Ozil and Muller. I’ve got 5 French players in Sagna, Pogba, Rami Griezmann and Payet.
I’ll decide on subs once the teams are announced. I won’t be changing captain from Ronaldo
The Sun Dream Team
I’ve got Rami, Sagna, Payet and Griezmann from the French team and Hector and Gotze from the German team. I’ve got 4 transfers left. I’d like to at least replace Bale with Muller but that will probably be it
telegraph fantasy football
6 transfers left. I’ve got Rami, Sagna, Payet and Griezmann from the French team and Hector from the German team. I’ll probably make 2 transfers with Bale and the injured Gomez out for hopefully Muller and Ozil/Gotze depending on the lineups
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
Can’t split the teams either could win
Defenders
A French defender – say Sagna, Koscielny
A German defender – say Hector or Boateng

That’s it. Good luck today. Remember if you’re interested in seeing the changes to my team these will probably only be on twitter. So follow me @fantasyfoot20
