I can't imagine Pepe or Agger are likely to see many point come their way considering the group they're in. I'd find cheaper alternatives, then upgrade De Jong to a more attacking player.

i think Alonso will differ on your attacking opinion.....

Quite liking the look of my team now. Got in Parker instead of Zimling. No more changes i promise :pac:

S.M.B. · 07-06-2012 11:13pm

Why change a deep lying midfielder for another?

BKC · 07-06-2012 11:15pm

Going to sit down shortly and finalise my team. Buzzing for tomorrow!

Figured he might be good for that recovered balls thing. Also an extra point for a clean sheet, but a point's a point. Now don't get sent off Scott :pac:

Will be interesting to see if he can rack up a few points this way but I'd be cautious for now.

I'll be sticking with midfielders who are likely to assist/score until I see otherwise.

Actually just realized i can get Shirokov for the same price. Might change. Ah decisions

I welcome all the criticism and advice ye can muster!

That's exactly who I would have suggested you replace him with.

My 2 Cent

I expect Russia to beat Czech Rep easily enough.

Polanski De Jong & Andrews will be heavily dependant on ball recovery points, I wouldnt be expecting alot from them which leaves alot asked of Ozil & Iniesta

Portugese defenders dont offer any value for money imo as I see them struggling to get out of the group

A very weak bench tbh, at least have all cheap regular starters.

Hope that helps

Anderson is rumoured to be starting ahead of Lindegaard, but i wouldnt touch either of them. otherwise your team appears solid

manual_man · 07-06-2012 11:47pm

Also (re. above), there's no point in having two keepers that play on the same day

S.M.B. · 07-06-2012 11:48pm

All my bargains come from group A

Monster midfield

Little or no players from Group D, because they always play on the final day of the round, meaning there's no respite if their players don't perform.

Does this not mean that your Group C players become your irremovable players and you're stuck with them if they fail to perform?

Seems like you're restricting yourself to two sets of potential inner-gameweek changes as opposed to three. You're also losing the potential to change captaincy 4 times in a single gameweek.

I actually have 4 players from Group D. I'll have 6 going in to Matchday2

No option to sub should your first-choice underperform...

BKC · 07-06-2012 11:58pm

Will Afellay start for Holland?

My plan was to play Given against Croatia & Italy & Lindegaard vs. Portugal.

Not many good choices when you are restricted to 8.5 to spend on GK's and team limited because of outfield choices. My GK's maybe the weak link but I dont think they'll hamstring my GW's a la Krul vs. Wigan (anyone that got stung will remember!!)

There's different ways to look at it alright. I've spent a bit more on keepers, but i think they can be good for points, and i'm happy i have the option to sub if needs be. You do have keepers on different days though. (Though personally i wouldn't touch a Denmark keeper with a stick)

No offense to any Danish people :pac:

S.M.B. · 08-06-2012 12:11am

I can't imagine Lindergaard seeing any game time unless Andersen makes a few howlers in their opening game.

Andersen is my second choice and will be seeing some game time should Poland concede tomorrow.

I think he could be a decent second choice given how cheap he is. I don't think Denmark are going to be the whipping boys of the group (I've also got Eriksen in my team) and he should accrue plenty of save points within that group at the very least.

Dempsey · 08-06-2012 12:20am

I expect the Portugal/Denmark game to be a cagey affair. Must look into who will be Denmarks no.1 for the group stages.

If Andersen is no.1, he'll be my no.2

BKC · 08-06-2012 12:27am

Casillas - Szczęsny
Kadlec - Dunne - Anyukov - Terry - Evra
Afellay - Shirokov - Ozil - Andrews - Eriksen
Lewandowski - Benzema - Torres

What do you think of that? Any suggestions?

~BKC~

manual_man · 08-06-2012 12:28am

Lads quick question would it be possible to captain a Polish/Greek player and then change the captain to a Russian/Czech Rep one (later game) if you wanted to

The French team that started tonight against Estonia and that will start against England at the weekend.

I have M'Vila in my team.... expected him to be starting. Surely they won't play such an attacking formation against England?

M'Vila will miss the England match through injury

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/euro2012/article-2154589/Euro-2012-Yann-MVila-miss-France-v-England.html

That article is a couple of days old, maybe you should look to see if Blanc has said anything about him in the meantime.

KevIRL · 08-06-2012 9:58am

When are we likely to get offical teams for todays games?

darego · 08-06-2012 10:20am

looking like my final team. any suggestions?

edit: i switched yarmo with shirokov as i don't want too many players that play on the last day since i won't be able to switch them if they score bad. switched nani with lewandowski as i can see lewandowski scoring more points with a much easier group. switched dunne to st ledger to make enough money for a modric to sneijder switch

Given Szczesny

M.Olsson StLedger Papadonpoulos Strinic Berezutski

Shirokov Young Ozil Rosicky Sneijder

Ibrahimovic Lewandowski VanPersie

lets go!

beglee · 08-06-2012 10:40am

I'd guess about an hour or so before kickoff, so we aren't likely to get the Russia & Czech lineups before the deadline today

beglee · 08-06-2012 10:40am

Hopefully this is my final team!

Greek goalie subject to change when the lineups are out

darego · 08-06-2012 10:40am

heard rosicky could be out for tonights game. anyone any clue what the craic is with him?

Had an injury, but looks like he's recovering just in time (maybe)

Will Papadonpoulos & Strinic be starting? I dunno why so many people have them 2 selected.

darego · 08-06-2012 11:01am

looks like Papadonpoulos will start, not sure about strinic though. i can't see any better options for the price atm so i'm going to take the chance

edit: did you find out who denmarks #1 gk is for the group stages? i might switch szczesny with whoever it is and take strinic out for piszczek

Dempsey · 08-06-2012 11:17am

I dunno, he didnt feature much in the qualifying AFAIK. I think alot of people are picking him because of Football Manager! :pac:

It looks like it will be Andersen. Lindegaard came into the squad as 3rd choice before Sorensen got injured. I think Lindegaards spell on the sidelines and lacking match fitness makes sure that he wont be starting.

darego · 08-06-2012 11:22am

strinic has 8 apps in the qualifiers and papa has 4 with 2 goals. i'm going to get andersen in for szczesny then. who to drop for piszczek though? papa or strinic :pac:

redarmy · 08-06-2012 11:38am

who to captain today

darego · 08-06-2012 11:41am

Lewandowski is the obvious choice for me

I'm captaining Lewandowski. Fancy him to score against Greece today.

~BKC~

manual_man · 08-06-2012 1:13pm

Baros to score 2 tonight :pac: Why do these thoughts come in to my head so close to deadline :pac:

BKC · 08-06-2012 1:22pm

That's what I'm going with. Heading out now for the matches so I won't have any time to change it. Any thoughts?

~BKC~

manual_man · 08-06-2012 1:35pm

where does Rosicky play in the Czech Rep formation?
