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

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:

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.

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

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

What do you think of that? Any suggestions?

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.

Source?

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.

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

darego

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!

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

Hopefully this is my final team!
Greek goalie subject to change when the lineups are out

darego

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

darego

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

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

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

who to captain today

darego

Lewandowski is the obvious choice for me

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

~BKC~

manual_man

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

BKC

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

where does Rosicky play in the Czech Rep formation?

final final final team haha



if papa isn't in the greek starting lineup tonight i'll change him without strinic
