polishgenius Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I was gonna switch Hamsik in for Hazard but at the last second decided on Konoplyanka instead. Not happy. He'd better get a hattrick tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mme Erzulie Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I've had Hamsik in my provisional teams before each round, but not gone with him. Good choice first round, not so good this round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I transferred out Kane, but still kept Vardy (mainly because I lacked the funds for Bale). But once again Hodgson was of a different opinion. The man just doesn't listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Criston of House Shapper Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Well, my Englishmen sucked (Sterling and Lallana). I'm now hoping for my Germans to get some points. Last round they did quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskeyjack Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 Sitting in 2nd place after 2 rounds, but not feeling great about this last set of matches. Used my wildcard after the first games, because I wasn't happy with some of my initial choices. Totally forgot that the best teams might end up resting some of their stars in the 3rd game - should have saved it to guard against that. Ended up using my 2 free transfers to move out my Italian players, since they are locked into their spot and I figured they would be the most likely to sit out. Was hoping I'd be okay with Payet + Giroud, but no luck - both of them on the bench for France today. Was very close to biting the bullet and switching them to Coman + Griezmann, but just couldn't get myself to pay the 8 points - doing that felt too risky. Going to have to hope that all of my other guys play this round, since those two will definitely end up getting me zeroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mme Erzulie Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I got rid of Giroud and Payet for my two free transfers (made the same call as you on the wildcard), but they might come on late when the game is opening up. Look at how both Vardy and Sturridge came off the bench to score plenty of points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baxus Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I'm really not focusing on this, almost missing the transfer deadline for game day 3. This format of the competition (tournament, not the league) just doesn't sit well with me. I can't put my finger on the reason for it, but it just feels off. Part of it might be that I am not doing well. My initial squad selection was rushed and flawed, and my transfers haven't helped either. Over the course of the season, I'd tweak that a bit here and a bit there and manage to get it right after a while. Tournament just doesn't last long enough for me to do that.

Criston of House Shapper Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Does this fantasy football thing exist for the Champions League? That's really the only thing I'm invested in as far as club-football goes. (Hence why I don't know any of the English players ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxus Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I'm not sure about Champions League fantasy football. Fantasy Premier League is the only one I play and it's a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Criston of House Shapper Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Well, despite my really awesome matchday, I just changed most of my squad, because transfers are free right now. My new group is: Sommer/Neuer Lichtsteiner/Rodriguez/Hummels/Sagna/Vertonghen Dzemaili/Kroos/Payet/Pogba/Witsel Müller/Giroud/Lukaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Zlatan Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 After a very good first matchday, every round I've scored fewer points, so I'm hoping I can turn that around with my new squad. Still in front though New team: Sommer / Neuer Boateng / Dier / Koscielny / Meunier / Smalling De Bruyne / Payet / Kanté / Kroos / Iniesta Bale / Lukaku / Morata Goalkeepers combined have conceded one goal (Sommer vs Romania, which was a penalty). Forwards have scored eight goals among the three of them, so if their form is any indication, I should do well in the knockout stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
