@@carrauntoohil86 haha maybe I come across too confident, didn’t mean to downplay Netherlands either think it will be tough.

Hi Scott. Thanks again for the very useful video and review of the QF. Like you had another tough Matchday. Scored 48 points, overall points 353 and another rank drop to 16K. Not terrible but disappointing to where I was after the groups. I'm just going to gamble now and go big on England & France. If it comes off I can hopefully jump up ranks and if both go out well at least I'm going out swinging. I'm going to line up Pickford, Hernandez, Kounde, Guehi, Bellingham, Ruiz, Olmo, Dembele, Mbappe, Kane and Gakpo. Mbappe captain.Good luck for the SF.

Thank you so much for showing us your team draft 👏🤓 I've got 339 points, 61 Matchday points and I'm weighing up Guehi because if France go out that takes care of all my transfers but my team so far is: Maignan Hernández Koundé Upamecano Olmo Ruiz Yamal Bellingham Saka (provisionally Captain because you are possibly making him your Captain) Gakpo Mbappé ⚽️ 🤞 I've gone big or go home because I'm chasing but I couldn't let Gakpo go 😅

You have to pick at least 1 team you're sure will go through. You only get 5 changes next round so you'll be left with a dead one if you spread too thinly between 4 teams. I have gone for 3 French, 4 Spain, 2 Beth 2 England. I can't call England game so went for Spain to go through so I don't need to Chnage 4 players I can use my 5 changes for the other 2 teams that went out. 12th man would be ideal for final but I wonder who has thought baout that
@DreamTeamProfessor4 ай бұрын
Yeah I agree, although it's all guesswork don't think we can be sure with any of these teams. Very tight looking matchups, hopefully will be good to watch. Not always tonnes of points in the final match tho so may not be the end of the world to be a player short or two. Nice situation to be in to field 12 for it but was happy with my 12th man return earlier on

If going for a defender I think it would have to be Hernandez. Seems one of the more likely for an attacking return and bonus. As well as the great def record. We chatted about it on the Tonic Pod last night and quite like the idea actually. Obviously a big differential but if you're not happy consolidating and wanna go for it could work out

Good morning Scott. I can honestly say that this has been the worst tournament I have ever seen since the 1994 World Cup. Completely picked the wrong strategy from the first game. Went big up top and cheap defenders. Not having Herandez and Mendes Gakpo and Havertz has killed me. My boosters have all been a disaster. Having said all that I have managed to get to 360 points. Team for the semi finals is Veerbruggen Dumfries De Vrij Geuhi Bellingham Saka Yamal Olmo Mbappe Depay Kane. At worst I can have 10 players for the final. Good luck.
@DreamTeamProfessor4 ай бұрын
Hey mate, yes i've really struggled from fantasy point of view too. All the big strikers struggling. Top teams not scoring many goals. Failed most of my boosters too. Think my main learning is backing bonus players. When you don't hit goals/assists/clean sheets having the bonus pts to fall back on seems a big plus. I even had Bellingham and Cancelo miss bonus the games I had them which made me transfer out probably too early.
