Although I forgot change my players around so among other things I had Casillas on the bench etc. and then I couldn't log on the site for ages so first round was just a massive fiasco for me. Well not taking it seriously anyway and did ton of trades today to drop even more points. Hoping for a epic comeback. | ||

Well I think I'm still doing okay. Am I only allowed to substitute players in/out once in a matchday? shit I think I screwed up, I thought you could swap them around as much as you like before they have played their match. | ||

Am I only allowed to substitute players in/out once in a matchday? shit I think I screwed up, I thought you could swap them around as much as you like before they have played their match. During a round (1 match by each team) you can substitute between the match days (so you can swap out players who did badly yesterday for other players who are playing today/tomorrow). You can also swap your captain. Between rounds you can buy/sell players. For instance, I thought Del Bosque wasn't an idiot and would let Llorente play, but he didn't (and I don't expect him to change the players much), so I traded him for Arshavin (should've gone for Dzagoev, but how was I supposed to know the young gun would be on fire for more than just 1 match  ) between rounds 1 and 2.EDIT: obviously if you sub someone out, you lose the points he scored. You only get the points for the 11 players standing in the field at the end of a round. | ||

EDIT: might not work for the same day, but definitely if they are in different groups and therefore play on different days. I believe the substitutes lock just before the first match of each day and are opened up again after the last match, so just make sure that all your players for the day are lined up before the first match and you're golden. | ||

And yes, I know I was dumb to choose Isaksson, but he was cheap and I seriously overestimated Cech and the Czech defense, so thought I would never need him :S | ||

For semis and final, you get a huge amount of free transfers corresponding to the teams eliminated (well, not quite enough after the quarters if you're unlucky, so that might be another time), so right now you can right all those mistakes you did when starting off your fantasy team (like buying all those hilariously overpriced german players currently sitting on the bench - Kroos, Götze, Reus just to name a few - before they lose even more of their worth) | ||

For instance, do I sell Gomez, because he might be given the day off? Or do I risk it, because if he plays, he is bound to score against Denmark? Similarly, Croatian and Danish players are great in a points-price ratio, but they both have to play teams that are on fire. Worth the money? Lots of choices like that! | ||

I didn't even know that option existed, and with the rest of the tournament not being nearly as restricted in transfers as the first 2 rounds, this is the time to use it.

Similarly, Croatian and Danish players are great in a points-price ratio, but they both have to play teams that are on fire. Worth the money? Lots of choices like that! You can go for huge gambles, fielding players expected to score like Gomez - who might find himself benched, if german media are correct (up to now, they rarely were). On the other hand, you can go for pretty "safe" lineups, mainly choosing players whose opposition is already eliminated, or about to be. I've been going for a lineup I consider safe, instead of flashy, and tried to avoid games I think to be unpredictable (Poland-Czech, Group B). I also chose very low-price bench players, hoping my starting XI will all be fielded, so my bench wouldn't score anyway. Edit: was trying to upload my 11, but imgur dislikes me today. So in text: Malafeev - Zhirkov, Jordi Alba, Debuchy - Gerrard, Nasri, Pirlo, Blaszczykowski - Torres, Rooney, Cassano Good thing with the wildcard is, you can make as many changes as you want to. Decided fielding Nani (against Netherlands) and Young (disappointing performances) wasn't worth the risk, changes my team again | ||

Going with: Casillas,Tyton Jordi Alba, Hummels, Lescott, Strinic, S. Poulsen Pilar, Cabaye, Konoplyanka, Dzagoev, Murawski Arshavin, Gomez, v. Persie Couple of risks with players that might not play, and counting on v. Persie to score against Portugal, because they HAVE to win with 2-0, so hopefully v. Marwijk will field a more attacking team (the defense is shit anyway, so just give up on that ). But overall I like this team a lot more than what I have been fielding the last 2 rounds ;P | ||

What's the probability of the Italian defence effing up yet again, and against Ireland? I used my wild card too, only left 3 players, expecting to continue my rise in the battle for the title of "the" fantasy football manager. e. got Stipe as the risky backup, if Croatia park the bus and Spain goes for a million wishful shots he might rack one a gazillion points. | ||

So yeah he's playing a more attacking style. | ||

Quarter Finals seem to be very hard to predict, especially with the scoring system employed by UEFA Fantasy Football. Three of four games promise to be low scoring, focusing on tactic and strategy: - Portugal vs. Czech Republic is the only match that may be dominated by offensive play. Portugal undoubtedly has the quality, and Ronaldo really seemed to be on fire against the Netherlands, while their defense is not beyond doubt. Czech Republic has looked shaky in their defense during their first two matches, but can field a great keeper and have managed to score every match even when looking outmatched. Decent picks could include CR midfielders and Portugal's acclaimed strikers. Keepers and defenders could be a risk, but with elimination a looming threat, trainers might try to focus on stabilizing their defenses instead of full-out attacking. - Germany vs. Greece looks to be a repeat of many matches at this EURO with unpredictable result. A technically skilled side operating on possession facing off against a team known for their outstanding defensive work and high team spirit, even though Greece has also shown periods of solid offensive play recently, pulling an upset in Group A. With Karagounis missing, a renewed focus on defensive work may be expected. Germany, 3-0'ing the acclaimed "Group of Death", has nevertheless shown lack of creativity in their offensive department and, situationally, lack of concentration in their defensive work. Expect to see a match teetering on knife's edge, unless an early goal is scored. Keepers and Defenders look to be a good choice, while it may not be advisable to pick offensive players - only Assists and Goals being awarded with Fantasy Points, a good, yet scoreless performance is not going to help your Fantasy team, after all. An exception may be Gomez - though he's not been looking very good against Denmark, he can always be dangerous in a good moment, and still has that Golden Boot to win. - Spain vs. France matches up two favourites to take the whole tournament in the quarter finals. Both teams had few troubles qualifying for quarters, but could rarely show off the brilliant offensive play names like Iniesta, Fabregas, Ribery and Benzema suggest. Spain's only convincing victory was against the arguably weakest side in the whole tournament, while having lots of problems with organized defensive play coming from Italy and Croatia. France slashed hopes only drawing against England, beat Ukraine pretty handily, then totally fell apart against Swedes that had nothing to win anymore but honor. Before the tournament, I'd have been salivating about this match, hoping for a high-scoring result, but taking the latest matches into account, I'd expect Spain being true to their style and edge out France 1-0, even though it could go either way, if a single player gets a brilliant day. Safe picks include midfielders - game is won here, and goals will probably scored by offensive midfielders - and keepers - both world class. Defenses may hold, or be totally crushed on either side. Picking a striker is a gamble - Spanish defense has looked nigh impregnable for the first two games, and Del Bosque hasn't looked afraid to not field a striker at all - unless you, like UEFA, count Silva as a striker. - England vs Italy is expected to be the epitome of a defensive game. Both sides have excellent and experienced offensive players, but have focused on shutting down the opposition instead of going all-out. Another match that could go 1-0 either way, with the goal probably coming from a set-piece, either directly or as a cross towards one of the star strikers. Pirlo/Cassano/Balotelli, as well as Gerrard/Rooney could end up with the winning shot. Take your side, stock up on defenders, and hope for a clean sheet. If anyone is interested, my team for the quarterfinals: Rui Patricio, (Casillas) Jordi Alba, Joao Pereira, Hummels, Maniatis, (Lescott) Khedira, Busquets, Jiracek, Katsouranis, (Gerrard) Nani, Silva, (Rooney) Unlike last round, I'll try to use the substitution system, replacing players failing to score high with English players for the last match. Predicted results: Portugal 3:1 CR (with Jiracek scoring), Germany 0:0 Greece (to go to penalties), Spain 1:0 France and England 1:0 Italy. Should my teams be eliminated, I'll be out of competition for good | ||

I found myself in the awkward position yesterday, where I had Lescott facing off against Konoplyanka: Lescott scoring points is good, but if he is scoring points, Konoplyanka isn't. This was not the first time I had this: cheering for a team would be easier if I didn't have players on the opposing team (which is one of the reasons I didn't bet against Spain Just have Diarra, because I think he'll get some points even if his team loses).Also, France benching Cabaye yesterday pissed me off, from a purely fantasy football point of view. | ||
