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.
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
yes

Wildcard played, eight in and eight out. May well change once Italy team is released.

Cheerio to Uronen, Kjaer, F Torres, Gnabry, De Jong, Lewandowski, Immobile and Lukaku.

Hello to Dumfries, Gosens, Yarmolenko, De Bruyne, Havertz, Isak, Ronaldo and Yaremchuk.

That looks really nice.

Only main defence between our teams would be spreading the bruno money and upgrading the bench - i like your team alot... Grealish at 8m could be a "bargain" fernandes...

Toney is really interesting - sensible head is thinking wait and see - but really tempting, especially at that price...

This is my initial team though I can’t imagine it will be like this in a couple of weeks time, let alone the start of the season!

ETA - good to see some of us picking Tommy Thumbsnap for our bench. Reckon he could do well at the higher level. hehe

Will be interesting if Kane goes to City - surely that changes everything and he is essential

Yeah Tommy Thumbsnap is 100% nailed for me in that 3rd bench slot haha

Urgh the euros is all going wrong.

Far too many upsets to make scoring much fun biggrin

Last throw of the dice today - do I captain Yarmalenko, Yarumchek, Pickford or leave it on Griezmann?!

decisions decisions!

I'm saying nowt, you're (*checks table) 35 points ahead of me. My skipper is Sarabia so I'm sticking with him but I've only got Forsberg and Gosens left and apparently Gosens is doubtful now.

I've managed to field 11 without taking a hit, but it isn't the team I'd really want overall given the choice. I think I used my chips a bit too early to be fair.

I'm using my Limitless chip because I only have seven players left out of fifteen so I presently have a world class team. However, next round it returns to normal and if Belgium beat Italy, I may have as few as three players left. Five free transfers before the semi finals will help but I'll still have to take a hit, I think.

Also used limitless otherwise it would have been a 24 point hit! New team:

Managed to get to 11 without a hit but then llorente ended up on the bench so took a hit to take him out.

4 Italians Inclouding three defenders tho is a bit risky hehe

Another poor day today, I'm stinking this game out.... hehe

Had three Italians, one Belgian, one Swiss and three Spaniards with a grand total of 18 (EIGHTEEN) points. Thank goodness for Shaqiri with seven otherwise I'd have cried.

Already brought four of the players out and replaced them with four England players to add to Kane who was already starting. So tomorrow, still have Pickford, Kane, Stones, Shaw and Sterling + Maehle (DEN) and Schick (CZE).

No, probably my best day yet, I'd say. To be ultra critical, should have captained Kane instead of Sterling but no matter, 69 points is a great haul from two matches. My team goes back to its pre-Limitless state which means I have four Italians (including the injured Spinazzola), one Dane and one Spaniard. Will probably have to buy some transfers to get enough players playing.

Nice result though!

I captained sterling too - could have been worse. It's Kane (c) for me going forward hopefully in both matches

This is the team i'm looking at for next round (not made the transfers may wait until spain italy line ups are out)

11/15 of those are the same as mine but I cost myself 16 points to make the transfers to get them in. And only Morata (5) and Immobile (4) scored anything half decent for me, another fine piece of management. hehe

I now have Pickford, Shaw, Maguire, Sterling, Kane, Maehle, Hojbjerg and Damsgaard tonight.

Yeah shocker of a night.

Ended up transferring Morata to Oyarzbal in when the team news came out frown

I have similar to you left to play - obv hoping Maehle, Damsgaard don't get any returns smile
