McDonalds Euro Fantasy Football – the best fixtures in each group stage

Euro 2016

Here’s our view on the best 5 fixtures of the opening 3 Group rounds.  This will help with your sub and rotation policy plus captain choice.  The fixtures are from an overall perspective rather than any particular emphasis on attacking or defence.  You can then refer to my previous articles for best players in each position.  It doesn’t just look at the team playing the worst opposition but is a balance between that and the team itself.  It’s also in order of fixtures in the round to allow planning for captain changes and substitutions.  Hope that all makes sense.

So what does it mean?

  • Representation from France, Germany and Portugal makes sense generally and for captain rotation
  • Rd 1 Switzerland, Poland to Rd 2 Russia and Ukraine makes sense for cheap sub rotation
