UEFA EURO 2024: Unlimited Wildcard Guide - Matchday 4

[@speardrops]

Hello everyone. I reckon Spain will be the ones to back this round. It's just difficult to pick the right attacker. Also, Tripper maybe injured. My dilemma is whether include Mbappe and KDB.

[@user-md1tn2cf3m]

Ive subscribed to you today. Really chilled out presentation so thank you. And keep going with your channel !

[@0xmocho66]

Great analysis mate. Ranked top 2k something following your tips so far!

[@speardrops]

@0xmocho66 great to hear! Want to swap ranks? 😄

[@rgazula]

Quality vid mate

[@danthomson336]

Best fpl / euros content around!!

[@speardrops]

@danthomson336 thanks mate! 👍

[@tutuandrei6219]

great vid mate, you saved my md3, keep up the good work

[@speardrops]

@@tutuandrei6219 glad to hear!

[@MrAlstec]

great stuff 👍 another quality Vid. keep up the good work

[@banzaikk]

I'm liking this style of presentation 👍 A point on using the limitless in the knockouts though, I've tried fitting in all the players I would want in a hypothetical quarter-final, and I'm getting nowhere close to the 105 million budget. I think all the major teams having 1/2 ball recovery cheapie heroes really helps to save some budget. Not to mention the lack of returns from the high upside attacking full backs.

[@speardrops]

@banzaikk we may have semi finals involving France, England, Spain etc. so it'll start to get tough then. Plus, the flexibility of just picking based off the pre deadline lineups vs most of the group games now having them.

[@banzaikk]

@@speardrops Spain options are cheap though, so are the Germans to be fair. Looking at the prices, England attack looks super overpriced now that we have seen them in action unfortunately.

[@speardrops]

@@banzaikk yes, I actually think most of the Spain and Germany attacking assets are well priced due to minutes risks. England attackers just overpriced for sure. Probably due to popularity.

[@tiagopacheco8044]

Thanks for your inputs @speardrops, have helped a lot to make adjustments on my picks. For this round of 16, what do you think of my picks: GK - Pickford, Costa DF - Carvajal, Cucurella, Stones, Guéhi, Aké MF - Fernandes, Pedri, Sabitzer, Gundongan, Bernardo Silva AF - Ronaldo, Gakpo, Morata I do not have anymore chips to play. Best regards and hope you keep creating amazing content like this!!

[@speardrops]

@@tiagopacheco8044 looks strong! 3 Portugal attackers may work out or may be a lot.

[@SubzeroPaul]

Tks mate. 👍👌

[@uwepleban3784]

Some comments: 1) Not sure about the concern about funds. We have 105 million euros available now. 2) France will not play Spain in the quarterfinals. If Germany and Spain win their Round of 16 matches, they will meet in the quarterfinals. 3) Latest news/speculations on the Germany team according to my “kicker” app: Coach Nagelsmann keeps his cards close to his chest, and will not divulge his team beforehand. Rüdiger looks fit to play. However, the forward situation is up in the air. One possibility mentioned by kicker is Füllkrug as center-forward, Havertz more withdrawn in midfield, and no Wirtz in the starting 11. I will take a gamble and put Füllkrug in - I like the way he plays and his gap-teeth smile. 😅

[@speardrops]

@uwepleban3784 thanks for the comment. The France fixture was from a Euros predictor website so they got it wrong 😂 I'd like to pick the Gap, but all of the Germany attacking assets rotate too much for me. Cost will play a factor as the smaller teams are eliminated.

Great hair!

very good vid,keep going i subbed

[@sheeepman]

Hour-long videos are welcome hehe

[@speardrops]

@@sheeepman I thought this was going to be!

[@alanzyoutube]

Great tips & advice! What about Ruiz for Spain?

[@speardrops]

@alanzyoutube not the best goal involvement stats historically, maybe good for minutes though.

[@venom10915]

thanks man

[@DemonxBrain]

Hey, great video, love following you. Why are you referring pedri over ruiz?

[@speardrops]

@DemonxBrain Pedri has much better underlying stats this tournament and Ruiz isn't the most exciting for xGI historically. Ruiz is fine but Pedri and Williams I prefer from their midfield.

[@coygggggg]

Great vid. I do wonder if Martinez might not start Ronaldo after the on-field tantrums today... I got em on my team tho

[@speardrops]

@@coygggggg I reckon he will. They look very solid with him leading the line.

[@wasifshahzad5001]

First week was an absolute disaster. Other than that things went a bit smooth. 186 pts amd 80k rank

[@speardrops]

@wasifshahzad5001 80k rank is really good, especially after 3 rounds. 4 mil players.

[@shaakywarrior]

great video! just wondering what your thoughts are on saving limitless for the final?

[@speardrops]

@@shaakywarrior no need for the final as you only need 11 players. Quarters or semis.

[@shaakywarrior]

@@speardrops thanks - must admit that I didn’t consider that at all but it feels so obvious in hindsight

[@BigE_HoustonYT]

been loving this content, i would advise using yellow color for the mid fixtures. i dont think switzerland is a green fixture for example.

[@speardrops]

@BigE_HoustonYT I prefer to keep it simple with colour coding for this format, at least for now with a short tournament. Gives the viewer a binary sort on the fixtures given my understanding and opinions on them. I agree though.

[@kse7en496]

Question would you recommend going with Sabitzer and Baumgartner and leaving Gundogan out?

[@speardrops]

Sab & Gundo. But it's your team and any combo of them is viable.

[@apesindenial4521]

Thoughts on frimpong starting? There’s sentiment xavi simons is gonna pivot to veerman’s position

[@speardrops]

@apesindenial4521 wouldn't risk that at all, lots of other defensive options

[@peterjohnson5872]

Had a bit of a stinker last week and dropped to 80k but still got both chips Here's what I've come up with on unlimited Costa / Verbruggen Carvajal / Cucurella / Guehi / Mittelstadt / Hernandez Fernandes / KDB / Bellingham / Musiala / Sabitzer Ronaldo / Mbappe / Gakpo At what point do you consider the probability of going through to the next round when picking players? Is having 3 of Spain / Germany / Portugal / France / Belgium out by the semis a concern?

[@speardrops]

@peterjohnson5872 same. I would say just make sure to have the flexibility in your squad structure to take them out i.e. don't fill your squad with players from all those teams.

Kvaradona finally scored after I kept faith with him for the first TWO games 😐 brilliant 19:42 Yamine LMAO 😂😂

[@speardrops]

@@fpl_djhammer Yamine Lamal Lamine Yamal 😂 I did the same with K-var!

[@henrikberntsen3311]

With plans to wildcard before semi finals begin, does this team seem reasonable? Pickford, Verbruggen Van Dijk, Cucurella, Carvahal, Guehi, Walker Bruno, Jude, Musiala, Gundo, Sabitzer Gakpo, Mbappe, Morata. 2 mill itb

[@speardrops]

@henrikberntsen3311 if you're wildcarding after, attack those very easy fixtures this week.

[@samwilliams4244]

Please tell me you do weekly stuff for FPL when that starts. I find it so tiresome when content creators churn out similar screenshots of the team. I want stats. Opinions and advice from someone with Reliable high ranks

[@speardrops]

@samwilliams4244 I'm planning to do 1 per gameweek and some guides before the season.

[@c0rtexqt777]

Isnt anyone scared for ronaldo to not start? considering he wasnt rested vs georgia

[@samwilliams4244]

What's your thoughts on Ruiz? I thought he was a must have. Good recoveries. Goal assist threat etc?

[@speardrops]

@@samwilliams4244 he's not a player that historically puts up good attacking numbers. Not for me.

[@kse7en496]

Bro would you recommend doubling up on the Spain defence? Not Simon

[@speardrops]

@@kse7en496 it's worth the gamble. However, it's a big minutes gamble and no one really knows which of that front 4 will haul.

[@I.Thor27]

Nice one Where do you get the stats you use ín the video?

[@speardrops]

@@I.Thor27 FootyStats for pre tournament internationals. FBRef have them.

[@BigE_HoustonYT]

Ronaldo Mbappe Morata Gakpo, which one would you leave out?

[@BigE_HoustonYT]

i am leaning Gakpo, just because Romania are pretty solid defensively from what i have seen.

[@speardrops]

@BigE_HoustonYT right now Morata due to minutes. But they have an easy game...

[@BigE_HoustonYT]

@@speardrops btw mate, morata's minutes are skewed a bit because you counted the 19 minutes he played off the bencb in md3. he averages 72 minutes when he start (which still isnt much compared to gakpo tbf lol)

[@speardrops]

@BigE_HoustonYT I included it deliberately but yes thanks. It just highlights that Morata could easily rotate with the rest of the Spanish frontline.

[@BigE_HoustonYT]

@@speardrops that's fair then, keep up the great work bro! will you do a team reveal or only these type of videos? eitherway loving the content.

[@vidro3]

Pedri has better xG than nico williams?

[@speardrops]

@@vidro3 I'd say so, it's close. He also has better xGI this tournament.

[@Dunks50]

No Nico Williams?

[@speardrops]

@Dunks50 I prefer Pedri for both minutes and xGI. I do mention him, he's just not a prime pick. He's viable though.

[@linwenjun]

why don't you show your pts?

[@speardrops]

@@linwenjun I normally do on my FPL vids. I still show rank.
