LOCKED TEAM | TRIPLE ITALY DEFENCE | Euro 2024 fantasy tips | Matchday 1

[@mortenesseth1471]

I love the fact that you don't have any England players, all the while knowing full well that this will increase the "why are you supporting Italy/hating England" noise exponentially. Bravo!😁

[@GianniButtice_]

haha maybe but its because of my chip strategy - they will be in for MD2 and 3

[@iceg6149]

Triple Italy defence In the group of death 👀

[@stevo4442]

He said for MD1 only.

[@GianniButtice_]

its for MD1 only

[@matthewbaxter-bm8yv]

dont no what he doing had scammaca other day

[@stevo4442]

Quality content with particular focus on Italy which sets you apart from the rest of the YT community. You have got a new subscriber and like based on your quality content. Surprised you didn't select Scamacca based on your previous videos. Please name your top 3 strikers for Matchday 1 at 7.5m and below and also for MD1&2. Thanks, keep up the great work Gianni!

[@GianniButtice_]

thanks man, i really wanted scam but ronaldo they did what he did vs ireland and i cant not own.

[@SmoothieJourneyDaily]

I totally believe that spending as less money as posssible in defence is crucial + we have good options!

[@Scream_96]

Normally it's true but midfield is pretty scarce in this game so spending more on defense and forwards is not too crazy. I wouldn't go nuts on defense but spending a little more than you would in FPL isn't the worst idea.

[@GianniButtice_]

hopefully!

[@johnflanagan7136]

I have 3 Ukraine and 3 Germans , 3 Portugal , 3 Belgians all geared to Mday 1+2 keep my Wcard for later stages 👍👍 All about the fixtures for me Gianni 👍

[@GianniButtice_]

yeah man you gotta chance that upside right.

[@johnflanagan7136]

@@GianniButtice_ thanks Gianni - thinking of swapping Dimarco out for Buongiorno - his ball recovery stats are excellent !

[@DancinJim]

Like it but for me three ITaly defence is slightly too much. I'm tempted to go with Cambiaso and Dimarco though.

[@GianniButtice_]

i'm an all or nothing kind of guy ;)

[@SmoothieJourneyDaily]

Amazing team! I opted for Kane instead of Mbappe to have different captain options. Also kvharatselia for simons and mudric for guler and muciala/foden for Bruno

[@GianniButtice_]

thanks man. kvharatselia could be great

[@johnflanagan7136]

Awaiting my Italian away top to arrive 🎉 Only going for a double Italian defence , Donnaruma and Dimarco 👍👍 I have no English or France in for Mday 1 or 2 a risk , but happy with that . Nice picks though Gianni

[@GianniButtice_]

Good luck and like the sounds of that. ps the italy away top is fire!

[@offcore]

Really solid video Gianni, like the depth on your reasoning for a selction🤲

[@GianniButtice_]

Appreciate it as always my man

[@british87]

Just on Portugal Gianni , it probably won't be João Felix or Jota but in fact the new wonder kid *João Neves* with the start.

[@GianniButtice_]

yeah good point - saw he started the last friendly too

[@paparucoontour]

No way. He plays in midfield and it will be Vitinha, Bruno and Palhinha.

[@CalvinFPL]

Scenes, if Albania win 0-1 😂😅👀

[@GianniButtice_]

if they do they do, the sun will still rise on Sunday morning. I wouldn't be surprised if this italy team do concede tbf

[@iceg6149]

Jamal Musiala My opening captain 👍

[@GianniButtice_]

nice

[@Scream_96]

No more Scamacca against Albania?? I feel like way more upside with Italy offense than defense in that game

[@stevo4442]

Yes, previously he was recommended!

[@Scream_96]

​@stevo4442 I know, just feel like Scamacca has way more upside than a center-back. Also frees up more money for a better midfield. Plus Gianna preached having fun but doesn't have a single offensive person from his favorite team who play the worst team in the tourney.

[@GianniButtice_]

ronaldo then became an option. would love scam tho

[@Scream_96]

@GianniButtice_ Simon's not guaranteed to start and just recently got his first ever goal for his international team and Guller hasn't scored for a while now. Sca could be a wildly overlooked guy who could potentially brace or more and also frees up money to upgrade Simons or Guller. Just a thought. Either way, we have futbol to watch in June and that's a win for everyone!

[@AMGaming-tn1tj]

Rate my team Ronaldo, Mbappe, Lukaku Jorginho, Gundogan, De bruyne, Eriksen, Bruno Faes, mittelstadt,Trent, Dimarco, Mancini, verbrugen, Costa Also I'm free hitting gameweek two

[@luke2946]

My team is costa Verbruggen mittlestadt faes dimarco guehi Trent Bruno trossard szoboszlai wirtz saka havertz mbappe Lukaku(where should I get 0.5 to go faes to de cuyper)

[@GianniButtice_]

if youre on the same chip strat as me i would sell an england def to save dollar

I’d downgrade one of guehi or Trent

[@heggybhoy82]

Scammaca for a double against albania 👍

[@GianniButtice_]

i hope so even as a non owner

[@malachyfox4607]

Lukaku my captain for all three group games 💯

[@paavop]

Be aware that you can change your captain each gameday if you want. for example you can have up to 5 different captains in first round.

[@GianniButtice_]

mine too instead of mbappe

[@dartinho1]

No kane is mistake + not that much of a compromise. De cuyper to faes, wirtz to gundogan for example

[@popkip]

de cuyper is more attacking tho

[@KailamiMwiinga]

No Kane is okay... Wirtz much better option than Gundogan

[@dartinho1]

@@KailamiMwiinga gundogan places through the middle and is on pens, is wirtz much better?

[@GianniButtice_]

its for one game tho - kane will be after

[@Helloooooo1]

Not sure which to choose between sudakov and mudyrk and do you think kvaratskhelia is a good differential?

[@GianniButtice_]

yeah he is i think he would be my preference

[@kennymcdowell]

Your Italian loyalty is overriding rational thinking 😮

[@Addsmc92]

They are shit

[@GianniButtice_]

haha we will see on Sat night when i have 3 x clean sheets... or none ;) ps I don't mind if it clouds my judgement - this is just a bit of fun

[@kennymcdowell]

Is true mate - should be a good tournament - who do you think will win it (without bias) ;)

[@davidvoskanian2025]

Will Mbappe start?

[@GianniButtice_]

i think he will be fine

[@temwanichanda5899]

Would you have Pedri as a deferential?? Given his new role in the squad playing closer to the box

[@GianniButtice_]

yeah i think i will own him for the albania game

[@MrJoeljoy]

There is no CR starts considering he barely can run and cant do any link up play. Something tells me Bruno may play false 9.

[@o0ni9]

Lukaku and firtz or havertz and bruno? I have Ronaldo and De bruyne and musiala

[@GianniButtice_]

first

[@o0ni9]

Guler is 6m, not 5.5

sorry fanteam confusion where he is 5.5

[@o0ni9]

Is Musiala worth the 1 million up from wirtz?

[@GianniButtice_]

not for me - similar level asset

[@FPLOnions]

Any thoughts on Andrich for a 5m punt?

[@GianniButtice_]

will get a few ball recoveries and starts so not a bad shout

First to comment,a decent line up

thanks man. very kind

Guler isn't 5.5 he's 6. he isn't predicted to started either

correct - and on so many levels. very possible of course!

i hope so

Is Frimpong a good idea?

not sure - high upside tho

thank you ❤
