McDonalds Euro Fantasy – Some thoughts on the semis and player options
The fixtures
Here’s the fixtures from the BBC website in UK times:
Transfer rules
Number of free transfers
Semi-finals: 6
Final: 6
You can use your transfers up to the point of the Wednesday Portugal/Wales game. After that it’s subs and captain changes only. The lineups for the Wales Portugal game will probably be out an hour before
You may still have a wildcard if you’re lucky
Top attacking point scorers
It’s worth mentioning that Ramsey is suspended for the semi’s and Draxler did not start against Italy
Top attacking ownership
The key point of ownership is that if a high ownership player scores then your rank will be affected. It’s always hard to be exact over where the line of transferring a player is on ownership ground. This is especially so in the case of this competition as I imagine the amount of teams not being actively managed is huge
Player Options
Remember you can make up to 6 free transfers before the Portugal/Wales kickoff and the lineups should be out around an hour before
Defenders/GK
I’m probably backing Portugal as the most likely team to get a clean sheet. I think clean sheets for the other 3 teams will be difficult. Predicting how the Portugal defence will lineup in the semis and then the finals if they progress will be difficult so I would suggest waiting for the lineups. GK Patricio of Portugal though is good value. I think I will spread the Germany and France defence
Midfield
Renato Sanches – Portugal £4.4m if starts
Ozil – Germany £8.5m
Payet – France £8.1m
Pogba – France £8.5m
Kroos – Germany £7.0m
Forwards
Ronaldo – Portugal £12.0m
Nani – Portugal £7.5m
Bale – Wales £10.5m
Muller – Germany £10.5m
Giroud – France £8.5m
Griezmann – France £10.0m
Some stats
I wont be making transfers until the teams are announced tomorrow which will be roughly an hour before kick off which is 8pm. If you’re interested I’ll only put them on twitter @fantasyfoot20 then
