Thank you Rohitz! Didn't think we'd get this far...

Georgia has more favorable fixtures imo. Turkey is struggling and I think they can get a point out of the Czechia game as well. They only face Portugal in MD3, when Fran will likely Limitless. Plus Kvara is a forward listed as midfielder on penalties (kind of a cheat code if things go right). As for man of the match, if both Georgia and Spain win, Kvara is more likely to win it, because as a forward he can have a bigger contribution. Also very hard to predict if a midfielder can win man of the match, you need a very specific scenario where the award doesn't go to someone who scored. Finally, Rodri is cheaper but just €0.5m cheaper, nothing special

I think the Spain MOTM share is much likely to be split between our best players (Yamal, Pedri, Rodri) and even Morata/Williams or the fullbacks can take it as edge picks. The more dominant you are in all phases of play, like Kvara is compared to his peers, the easier it would be for him to get a higher MOTM share.

Spain has Croatia then Italy not sure how that's more favourable. Rodri may get more ball recoveries in those games as a result but it greatly limits his attacking threat.

What is an enabler?

FYO Its only one player in the game that gets MOTM not one in every team in every game? Or Im I wrong here

@@FPLFran Thank you.

Thank you bro!

Yeah, I'll live stream!

I think the forward spots are a little too much to gamble with - prefer not to do so.

I actually agree with you on Kroos and Eriksen - Szobo we don't really need to discuss. Nice Depay punt too - best of luck!

Which ukraine defender do you think is a good choice?

@@Helloooooo1 I saw someone from Ukraine recommend Konoplia (4,5m) as an exciting option, and I checked some team selection videos that suggest he should start at RWB. My playstyle is to go for exiciting wing backs over boring center backs, so I currently have Mittelstadt, Trent, Widmer, De Cuyper and Konoplia. All have 2 good fixtures and potential for attacking returns.

@@MrTwister242 that's a very strong backline. I'm also going with the ones who can give me attack returns, currently I have dimarco, cancelo, de cuypter, mittelstadt and going for maehle as a differential ( might change him with Dumfries)

Going Ukraine and Switzerland works fine. Going for the Georgian/Hungarian players is more of a bet on MOTM aspect of the scoring and hoping for an 'upset'

The «Georgian Guy» 💀

I like that your team is a bit different (especially in forwards) than many others! Could get ahead like that. The only things about your team is: I see a lot of people saying Simons isnt necessarily a clear cut starter. He could be in rotation with Frimpong (and others). So it could be risky. Also banking on Lunin being perfect is risky. Would rather spend 0.5 more on a backup keeper. Or maybe a 4 million goalkeeper playing on later days. For instance Czech keeper Stanek.

@@oskar385 Thanks for the tips. I should've mentioned that I plan to invest the €0.5m I have in the bank on something Croatian in MD2, so you gave me the assist with the Xavi Simons news. I might swap him out and upgrade Lunin to Livakovic, will have to think more about it. As for the backup GK, I said "random €4.0m keeper" but I actually have Stanek in my team. I guess I just didn't give him importance, since I don't plan to rely on him lol edit: typos

@@oskar385 as a Dutch guy I can confirm Simons will be a starter with 99% certainty dude..

I like your draft! I also just like you tried to make a slight different draft then everybody else on YT. Fun :) Good luck.

@@elzinga87 Thanks! You too

You can definitely get Saka instead. Totally fine

Carvajal - really tough games. Bellingham, of course he was considered. Just hard to access, no pens, etc and pretty roughly priced.

yes - every day of play so 14, 15 June etc

Vamos!

I'm personally quite high on thee 7m mids, and De Cuyper. I don't mind dropping Foden to get Gundo/Wirtz though

It depends on the player that you have coming off the bench and how many points you predict them to get. For me, any return is usually good enough to stay in the team and 2 returns is good enough to stick as captain.

This is too situational to answer. Generally I think you will have a lot of blanks and naturally you willl auto-sub. I think 5-6+ and you might want to keep unless you have weapons coming in.

Makes sense!

Already discussed going Ronaldo in my previous draft :P

Solid in all roles. I'm just personally not a fan of either Gundogan, Calhanoglu or Jorginho, but that's your personal preference. The 3 forwards are the best trio you can get, so really like that

@@blackluke789 thanks! I think that’s the compromise I’m willing to make on the midfield by stacking up forwards and squeezing in Cancelo. Really counting on those 3 midfielders being well rounded in terms of point scoring such as ball recoveries, penalties, outside of the box goals, key passes on top of the usual stuff. 🤞 What’s your squad looking like?

@@AdrianVidenov9i guess I’ll start with Gundo then switch to DiMarco, Pickford, Mbappe/Lukaku and finally CR7 as long as none of the previous choices get me 10+ pts (x2).

@@pulkitganjoo I got this: GK Lunin, Stanek DEF Cancelo, Mæhle, Dimarco, De Cuyper, Mittelstädt MF De Bruyne, B. Fernandes, Xavi Simons, Mudryk, Kvaratskhelia FW Ronaldo, Lukaku, Havertz

@@blackluke789 saw it and left a comment on your post. Good luck for MD1!! 👏

lovely pick.

That's why I have two talismans from Georgia/Hungary. I do want KDB in my team however, could just be a Faes + KDB thing

No you can switch daily

You can change it after every day - so 14 June, 15 June.. and so on

@@FPLFran I can switch it daily but if i switch do my points go back to half or do they stay doubled

@@maxoooTRADESthey go back.

I'd prob go Ronaldo

I do love Foden. Tempted by going all out midfield too and dropping Jorgi too though!

The issue is regarding minutes for the latter two players. Odds assume you usually play a full match most often and Shaq/Gundo will very much be earlier subs, which makes the argument a lot closer. Szobo in particular is very good at ball recoveries too.

Van dijk goals, clean sheets, man of the match and recoveries. Rodri recoveries , goals and assisits

Cancelo, very attacking and Portugal has easy fixtures while Netherlands will lose to France and might even lose to Austria. Rodri since he is probably the best midfielder in the world.

Van dijk probably one clean sheet in group stage Cancelo minimum two possible three.

Cancelo if MD1+MD2, Van Dijk for purely MD1. Shaqiri vs Rodri is personal preference, very close calls because ofc fixtures are the differentiating factor and Shaqiri's minutes are (at his current age), poor.

yeah, that's a midfield I'm going to have major FOMO over...

IF

Jorginho doesn't bring attacking returns anyway, so you can look at him in 2 ways: 1. he's always a bad pick if you highly consider consistent attacking returns (penalties are not guaranteed to happen) 2. he's not a bad pick even in a bad fixture, cause being against Albania or Spain doesn't change much: the majority of his points will still come from ball recoveries, and those always happen. In fact it might be that he recovers more against Spain than Albania, since Italy is a ball dominant team and will likely hold possession a lot. Not much room for ball recoveries in that case Dimarco is different, as he relies more on clean sheets and consistent attacking returns (assists mainly). So a bad fixture is bad for him and you should swap him out

@@blackluke789 A 5mil Midfielder on Penalities is worth it. Especially when you have the likes of Bruno, Mbappe and Cancelo on the bench.

@@holahovito11 As I said, penalties are not guaranteed to happen, it *might* be worth it. It might also be a waste of €5m lol At the end of the day you're all betting on the fact people ton of penalties are given, otherwise your player won't score. I can't predict it will happen

@@blackluke789 It's not about betting on penalties happening. You need 15 players and not all can start. If you can spend 5mil on a mid it will help you improve somewhere else. His ownership is high for a reason.

Eriksen (or Szoboszlai) + Gundogan is better for MD1. Denmark will probably win 1-0 or 2-0. Germany's pens are taken by Gundogan according to many websites.

I don't like Gundogan as an attacking midfielder who averages close to 0 key passes, but I'd still pick him and Eriksen over someone else + Jorginho. I'd rather have two players that can bring returns instead of just 1. I don't trust Italy getting a penalty, you can't predict it

Eriksen + Gundo

Yes you have the option to change every day

You can change as often as you like, as long as the new captain has not played yet. You can change even after your current captain has played.

Thanks guys

You can change it every day, so one captain for the 14 June games, and then you can swap to a 15 June captain and so on until you settle on one.

yeah, but it also comes down to xG share if that makes sense. I think Shaqiri's xMins are a bit dubious given what the manager has said about him

@@FPLFran what did he say about him?

I just went with both.

Go Gundo if you're scared to go without a German attacker, they're very close options regardless.

Trent, Mbappe, Ronnie

I think the simple move is to go Mbappe to Kane if you are uncertain

@@FPLFranthere’s already 3 English players

@@TWill1606 yes, but you can just drop Fodeen to a relevant 7m mid (Gundo). And then enjoy. It seems, anyways, that Mbappe is very good.

I think both are good punts, but I wouldn't be taking both in my team - prefer Guler tbh

Just need to know who to bench and who to captain please :)

you just line up based on the day of play mate. There is an auto-sub mechanic. and you choose a captain daily

wait for the german lineup at 7pm - I'd go Tah if he starts

my choice : Lunin-[Mittelstädt-Widmer-Dimarco- Dumfries]-[Foden-Çalhanoğlu-Højbjerg]-[Mbappe-Lukaku-Ronaldo] Oblak-Oyarzabal-Gvardiol-Baumgartner

Is there a 100m constraint?

Mitt

@@FPLFranYou really think Trent will start?

Had the same question

Just choose one nobody know who’s gonna be better

I'm more worried about Saka's fitness and minutes as a result. Historically Saka has performed much better than Jude/Foden but this is also the tournament where I can see the bookies are high on the latter two players and less so with Saka due to the uncertainties at play. IMO I'd prefer Saka if I knew he was 100%

in MD1, the rumour and reported news is yes. But MD2 is a toss up

You can't do that, no.

yeah but ronaldo to havertz is a noticeable downgrade. Don't mind a punt personally but I agree Foden is dicey since he's not been astounding for England just yet

He has been - but I'm more so worried about his (Saka's) fitness

Kvara

Kvara

Every Matchday goes on for multiple days (MD1 starts Friday and ends on Tuesday for example) and you can change captain in between matches. So at the beginning you can take risks, the best option would be a defender who can score or get an assist (Mittelstädt is suggested, since he's in many teams). If it doesn't go well, you always have other picks day by day, ending with Portuguese players on Tuesday or until you're happy

​@@blackluke789thank you

You can rotate them every ‘day’ of the MD. What Luke said is quite sensible

How does it work for captains to earn more points?

it doesn't match betting sites, no, but that's why team models are a different metric to look at and consider against betting site odds too.

They are back in individual training which is a bit different no?

@@FPLFran "While they are not expected to play on Monday, they increased their work load from individual training over the last weeks to taking part in the team warm-up on Thursday and doing ball work with the squad on Friday in an obvious set of progressive steps." - From Reuters article today

The ones who play last so Lunin; Fernandes, Kvara & De Cuyper I'd imagine.

there isn't really a bench in this game - but Sleep has it correct.

​@@sleep99PS3wait can we sub endlessly between matches?

what about jude or saka?

I agree he's played poorly for England historically. Keep in mind I doubt Kevin (the comparative option) isn't likely to clock crazy mins either due to needing to maintain match fitness. I'll definitely have a 'think' about the Foden spot but I'm not so worried about his minutes even though he is prone to being subbed. I just don't see it nearly being as early as a potential Gundo sub

I think minutes are shaky

Prefer Sudakov

Can go Sudakov too, I'm not sure if he is 'needed' though.

This is a general market (betting odds) sentiment, so if you are high on them you can obviously 'bet' against it. I think most are going triple Italy to target MD1 from what I can see.

Wirtz, don't really want to drop Mbappe

Thoughts?

great team looking back now - at least you don't have Mbappe and the midfield didn't pop but you have moves to make at least.

I like the draft bar Hoj, Castagne. Gulacsi if I'm honest. You can also save money from Castagne imo, and I don't really like Gulacsi at all for that price.

@@FPLFran Gulasci I get but I can’t find a better 4.5 keeper that I like that rotates well with Lunin, besides I’m confident Lunin will get me some decent points and he plays second so I’ll not have to rely on Gulasci, Højbjerg has scored in his last 3 games for Denmark which I know are only friendlies but he’s in great form going into the tournament and has a decent record at past tournaments (usually for assists) with a decent chance of getting ball recovery points, Castagne’s just one of them where I have that feeling about him and I’m scared if I remove him he’ll haul 🤣

@@georgebailey7080 might as well cheapen down more and go Stanek

costa , portugal has a strong defense

@@rodrigopereira7450 thx

Raya doesn't even start for Spain sadly!

More doubts over the latter's fitness.

Eriksen

Tough one - just think Saka's minutes are a bit dubious due to injury so I like Foden for now...

You can change captain every day within the gameweek, however, you cannot change back so always captain the player playing first and then decide if his points are enough to keep or to gamble on a new captain

Also you cannot change captain within the same day so if you puck captain at 2pm game you cannot change to 5pm game, can only change captain the next day

@@davidhollis7229Thanks! Rate my team: GK: Verbruggen, Diogo Costa DEF: Trent Arnold, Tah, Mittelstadt, Diamarco & De Cuyper MID: Eriksen, Saka, Wirtz, Jorginho & Bruno Fernandes FOR: Lukaku, Mbappe & CR7

once every 'day' of play. So a 14 June captain, then a 15.

It gives you 0.5

0.5, but mostly worried about his fitness and reduced minutes.

for 8 Million I wouldnt say so

@@elzinga87 really tempted to keep him

Yes, a great option and will likely get high points in the first match

Definitely imo - but ofc prone to being subbed by Bakayoko

hah, no FPL content to create just yet...

ermh, no. Why do you ask aha

@@FPLFran oh u and harry both changed your teams the exact same way

fair play Sean.

Is it wrong?

It's time to against the bookies then for you

I can not see hungary and swiss not scoring against them. If scotland scores in opening game that will be it. My opinion. And yes i will place bet on germany but not to win to nil. Possibly both team score and germany win.

Tah has been great this season and many have heard of him, but agree with rest

id love to hear your defensive line, and see how many rotational options you have lol

Who do you have on your team?

I think the point is that for defenders, the "most" important isnt their individual skill, but the strength of the team they are playing for. If you find cheap defenders for good teams that you know will be starting its still a strong defence, even though they themself might not be the strongest players. Of course individual skill (assists/goals etc) play a part. But its less predictable, than clean sheets.

This guy is clueless

Thank you Tiggy!
