TURKEY 🇹🇷 vs ITALY 🇮🇹
The first game of the Euros feels like it will be a good one. We will know the lineups before the deadline which is great and despite the confusion, Italy plays at home. Despite only conceding 3 goals in 10 games in qualifying, this looks like a decent...
game for the Italy attackers. Immobile (10.0) is very tough to fit in despite having the most big chances out of any player in the most recent World Cup qualifiers so therefore I would look towards Insigne and Berardi (potentially Chiesa). Berardi is an absolute bargain if...
Group C analysis in EURO 2021 (Thread) #EuroFantasy
Ukraine 🇺🇦
Netherlands 🇳🇱
Austria 🇦🇹
North Macedonia 🇲🇰
Time to look at all the teams in Group C which is what maybe looks like the worst group on paper. General info, predicted lineups and which fantasy assets to select ⤵️
General info:
As you may know, our head coach is Shevchenko, his assistant is Tassotti. Milan's former great defender. That's why we are pretty good defensively. Our weak point is a lack of great forwards, those we have are unstable and not in good form.

Belgium 🇧🇪
Russia 🇷🇺
Denmark 🇩🇰
Finland 🇫🇮
Time to take a look at group B and all the teams with general information, predicted lineups, predictions and fantasy assets to look towards and ones to avoid
General info:
We have won 17 of our last 19 competitive matches since European qualifiers, keeping 7 clean sheets during that period. 40 goals scored and only 3 conceded. We played 2 teams that we will have in our group throughout this period,...
Russia who we beat 4-1 and 3-1 and Denmark who we beat 2-0 and 4-2. So it’s fair to say that we are in really good form coming into this tournament with our attacking play style and dominating possession especially with Lukaku in amazing form.
General info:
Since Mancini took over after our disastrous WC qualifiers, our team's performance has improved drastically. We only lost once excluding friendlies. While our defence conceded only 4 goals during the Euro qualifiers and not even one in the WC...
qualifiers, I wouldn't say we're a defensive team: we usually try to keep possession as much as possible and control the game, thanks to a midfield that's probably our strongest asset. The defensive department as a whole works pretty well, with Donnarumma as the main star.
With a lot of fixture swings for many popular FPL teams, plenty of managers are activating their wildcard this week.
Here is a deep dive into what my current wildcard draft would be, which players I recommend for each position and why ⤵️
Let's get into the players that would be absolutely locked in my wildcard team 🔒
TAA
Jota
Salah
Bruno
Forster
Rudiger
Kane
Son
Shaw
Holding
There are quite a few as you can see and here is why...
LIVERPOOL x3⃣
TAA is top for key passes and big chances created per start among defenders and 2nd behind only Son when it comes to xA over the last 5 GWs. Not only that, Liverpool’s defensive stats have improved massively, having the 2nd best xGC per game over that same...
Time to delve into some statistics from this season and look at different correlations between captaincy points and effective ownership... 📊
Should you go for the safe pick or take more risks? 🤔
(This thread will use top 10k ownership provided by the great website @LiveFPLnet as a measurement of how popular a captaincy choice was that gameweek)
Starting off, let's say you decided to captain the most popular captain in every single gameweek this season. How many points would you have gotten?
The answer: 228 pts
Let's compare that to the average of the current top 10 players in the world which is 236.5 captaincy points.
