Would love to see your team also, I thought mine was locked til I saw this video haha, crowbarred fernandes, cancelo and theo. just 1 q. thoughts on VVD, heard he might be on pens? swap cancelo for him or not worth it?
@samwilliams4244 Weghorst or Gakpo could still take them. He's in the top 3 for PK takers for them. I just don't like his fixtures or Netherlands chances of clean sheets in isolation top. He's a fine differential if he is on pens of course! Cancelo the bigger risk of rotation vs. Theo Hernandez. My team is a mix of what's in the video but will change before deadline, I'm sure.
Great content, mate! I have a question, please. What is a good strategy in this format if you're planning not to use a chip in MD2: book in 2 transfers for MD2 or start with a good team for MD1&2 and only make transfers if needed?
Cheers! Well you effectively have two weeks to plan your current WC (pre game) for. Then another wildcard at round 3 in the game. So if that's your plan pick players with two great fixtures to start. You can also target single starting fixtures and look to use your 2FTs for round two.
Hi! Thanks for useful information. What are your thoughts on Trossard (8), Barrella (7), Calhanoglu, Rodri (both 6.5) and Arda (6) as midfield options? Also, I think Castagne (5) will be a starter playing in an advanced role on the right flank as a defender; what about him? Finally, if I was to target only MD1, would you recommend Bardakci, Ozkacar and Akaydin (4-4.5) against the worst team participating in the tournament? It might feel like a home game for them in Dortmund.
Trossard is a wait and see due to minutes risk. Barella too deep for my liking. Calhanoglu, great set piece prospects in a bad group but poor qualifying stats. Maybe he will pick up and become a more significant option but he is worth the risk. Rodri won't be scoring many from his position in the Spain team but may pick up some points from other sources. Castagne a great pick if you want to double up with Faes. He's in another format for me right now. I don't trust the Turkish backline with so many cheaper or similar priced options in better sides. Though, yes, it's a fantastic group and fixture for them. They're okay picks.
Calhanoglu will pick up some decent recovered ball points because he'll be kept busy in the group games. Some cheap mids for poorer teams could be good enablers but also pick up decent RB points.
@@YewrMan He's a decent pick if he does manage to pick up a couple attacking returns in the group stages. I don't think recoveries alone for his style of play would do it. He's more creative than defensive.
Great analysis. How do you rate Chiesa and Wirtz? And how do you rate Ukrain's chances, seem like a dark horse for me, Sudakov seems great value for 6.5M
Chiesa I like as a player, but don't rate current Italy. Ukraine don't have the worst group but I wouldn't go with Sudakov. Prefer one of the backline, or Mudryk/Dobryk if you really want to go there. There's better value elsewhere.
I'd like him at that price if we knew he was starting and playing 60+. I don't like the pick due to minutes risk and Turkey's poor recent performances.
Foden is great if he plays 90 mins per game, but he also plays under a negative Southgate style. Bellingham looks better for minutes but much deeper versus his role for Madrid. Both expensive. Wirtz great but a big minutes risk for the wide roles in the home side. Simons has a poor qualifying record but good for minutes and price.
At the minute: Cancelo-Pepe-Dias-Dalot Costa Mendes could come in for Dalot with Cancelo switching to RB. Inacio could play CB instead of Dias. Costa easily the safest. Dalot the second biggest risk for minutes after the 2nd CB role.
I am playing a different version of Euro fantasy in Denmark. In that we are given 50 million to get 11 players. With Ronaldo priced at 8 million and Bruno Fernandes at 7. What would you consider the higher priority given that Bruno takes set pieces if Ronaldo is rested/taken off?
2 goals, 0 assists in 10 games for Ukraine in qualifying, unfortunately. Too expensive and forward slots are too precious! Amazing at club level though and an okay gamble if you fancy him to do well. I don't think the national side has the same quality as Girona.
i'm confused between hojberg and mitrovic. have only 5.5mil in the bank and want 5th midfielder. currently gone for hojberg. should I switch to mitrovic?
Hojberg will likely get 1-2 recovery points per match but not much in the attack. Mitrovic isn't guaranteed to start or take pens with Vlahovic sniffing around. Your answer is Eriksen for Denmark or Tadic up front for Serbia if you desire someone in those positions and teams at that price range.
@@speardrops i have only 5.5 mil. rest of the team looks so solid so I don't wanna lose anyone. Eriksen is 7 mil and tadic is 6.5mil. are there any other good options for 5.5mil?
@@speardrops He started for Ukraine in every qualification game, so he's definetly nailed on the starting eleven. He's averaging at least 6 ball recoveries so he will probably be up for 2 additional points in the first two matchdays against decent opponents. And If he makes any returns that's great. Currently picked by 0% so for me he's a hidden gem. But ofc, he's risky and not safe.
@@speardrops Fair. He's been linked to Many big clubs, in England to Chelsea and Arsenal for example. We'll those hidden gems are not the easiest to find in this game...
Samba of France may start, given Maignan's hand injury issues? Biggest bargain if so surely. Definite 'whiff' of Man Utd bias with Sabitzer, Hojlund etc being in the top brackets but it's true, after the season they've had it's hard to say no to them ;). The irony of switching to Hull City in a rage tickled me have to say
I mention that re Samba. But Maignan may be back. Not worth the risk with other price points. I've always supported United and followed Hull City as a season ticket holder from the old Division Three and Boothferry Park to the Premiership and FA Cup Final. Sabitzer is one of Austrias star players and is in the UCL final with Dortmund. He didn't do much at United. He's done a lot for Austria in qualifiers. Hojlund gets much better service at Denmark than he does at United and again, one of his nation's stars, so will be a focal point for the team. They're both value picks, I expect neither to be posting premium priced numbers.
@@speardrops Yeah, you are a mensch for your serious reply, I was on a bit of a wind-up, it is a great video and I have already gone all in for Kvaradona and Szobo. My best mate at uni was a Tigers fan, and any club that helped give us Bowen and my team Liverpool's Andy Robbo has got to be alright.
@@jamesli9380 Thanks mate. No love for Maguire? 😂 Bowen was fantastic. Hopefully he sees minutes at the Euros but he has the toughest competition for his position across all the nations involved. K-var and Szobo are true talismans for their teams and as long as Georgia's and Hungary's attack perform reasonably in the group stage, they will be involved. Always a chance both teams get pumped though! Good luck.
@@speardrops Every major tournament and of course for good reason, punters will gravitate to at best, obsess over, at worst, the big countries and famous names, but we never learn that these days there are crazy Morocco and Japan like shocks. Were you there for Charisteas?

Would you recommend doubling up with Maguire & Pickford? What chip mids would you recommend €5m
Looks like Maguire is a doubt now so just Pickford for now. 5m mids are rubbish! Gotta push to 6m and above.
Great video mate, really informative! Curious what chip strategy you’re on at the moment too?
Cheers, I tend to plan for the first two gameweeks, so two matches. Then go from there as with such a short format it's worth planning short term.

Great video mate. Can I ask your advice please? Would you go for Dobvyk, Bellingham, Tah or Lukaku, Saka, Faes?
Cheers! I prefer the second because of Lukaku. The rest are close anyway so no loss.
@@speardrops thanks, thinking the same tbf

Eriksen or Szoboszlai for MD1? I know Szoboszlai has better stats but I like Denmark’s fixture more and think Eriksen is a nice differential.
Szobo still more of a threat but if you like the fixture and differential more then it's fine. I prefer Szobo currently.
@@speardrops Fair enough, cheers.
Mbappe+Kane+Fullkrug or sacrifice 1.5 more for Lukaku?
Get Lukaku in this case as Füllkrug not even likely to start currently. Havertz a better should than him.
what are your opinions on arda guller? easy group, in form. he can do good ig
I'd like him at that price if we knew he was starting and playing 60+. I don't like the pick due to minutes risk and Turkey's poor recent performances.

Costa easily the safest. Dalot the second biggest risk for minutes after the 2nd CB role.
