Much as I would like to join in, I know nothing of who’s in form in Europe and my brain still hurts from this domestic season.

I am going to store up my energy for the Premiership. smile

I haven't got a bloody clue on my team.

My lack of football knowledge put of the Prem, is it would appear very poor!
To be fair, I've done quite a bit of Googling as my knowledge of players from off these shores is dodgy at best. Take out the Mbappe's, the Lewandowski's and the Muller's and I struggle unless they've previously played in England.

Feel free to put a team in, there's always one wild card each season. thumbup

ETA - wildcard as in someone that is far better than they thought they would be.

Decent start for me with Donnarumma (6), Berardi (6) and Immobile (9x2) safely on the board. Definitely a more strategic game, you can change captains every day & sub out four of your players if they under perform too.

I'll be keeping Immobile for sure. Very good player.

Hah, I thought you might post this morning..... you had a decent Belgian defender playing whereas mine sat out the 90 minutes. I would say though, given how wobbly the Finnish keeper was, fair play to him for getting 13 points!. He was my second choice keeper but I decided to stick with Donnarumma instead.

Good luck today. I've only got F De Jong, Wijndal and Alioski today though.

Yes, I can't complain about performance so far.

Current OR of c5k so pretty pleased.

Trying to make a decision on when to use my chips though - tempted to go all out for matchday 2 and use my freehit or whatever its called as I have quite a few players with tricky fixtures that clash

Leaves me with problems further down the line though in the knock out rounds.

Poor day here yesterday with four points from three players... Wijndal didn't start, De Jong (2) and Alioski who started but got a yellow + conceded three goals.

Hopeful today with Lewandowski starting + the Torres pair for Sweden. Currently sitting at c450k overall.

You're at c5k overall? That's brilliant, there's more than 3.25 million people playing this.... clap

Can't complain after match day 1.

Plan is to use my limitless chip for matchday two.

But here's a couple of dilemas..

Meunier or Dumfries
Kane or Immobile
Pitchford or Donnarumma

Persoanlly, I'd go for Meunier, Immobile and Donnarumma but then I am 26 points behind after one matchday so maybe not the best to advise.... hehe

I've made two changes, dropping Alioski (North Macedonia) and Denayer (Belgium) for Uronen (Finland) and Meunier (Belgium). Keeping Limitless for next week, I reckon.

I feel like I should post just to boast biggrin

137 points in total.... 2880 overall position.

Need a strong Patriotic showing today to keep up the momentum & then make a decision on how many of our Frog Eating friends I need to bring in for tomorrow.

I'm struggling with only 75 points! That is still more than I was expecting though because I don't really have a clue what I'm doing! hehe

Great start, Dan, 43 points clear at the top already. Won't be long before we all need snookers.... hehe

478k overall here, but I still have Lewandowski, Gnabry, Torres and Torres to go so hopeful of making a rise up the table.

What's everyone doing regarding the third matchday that starts tomorrow? scratchchin

Umming and aahing about possibly playing a chip tomorrow.I think the teams that already have six points might rest a few players; apparently an Italian paper has already said that Insigne & Immobile won't play against Wales tomorrow. I may think of only picking players that play for teams that still need a result.... job to know what to do really.

Tempted to wildcard.

My original team from md1 is not great now, injuries galore and the risk of getting players rested.

It's unlimited transfers pre final 16 isn't it?

Yeah thats my thinking - wildcard, target only teams that haven't qualified. Gnabry, gosens look good...

KDB in as he will likely start regardless - and i fancy targeting the netherlands macedonia fixture but hard to know what they will do with rotation

Italy are good to target as we should get teamsheet prior to team selection deadline
