📢#EuroFantasy QF WILDCARD THREAD📢
Here's a thread looking at Wildcarding in the QFs, considering each fixture and players to target

Any like/shares if you find any of this helpful much appreciated, and do let me know what your WC drafts are looking like!😃

If you still have a WC chip, it's definitely worth using now as there's more teams to pick from. We can also pick up to 5 players from one team, but I'd suggest picking across all 4 games - gets you the assets, but and allows a fallback for the SFs with only 5 free transfers

🇨🇭vs 🇪🇸 - some big hitters here, definitely worth having both sides. We also get the teams BEFORE the deadline, so if you can build your team late factoring this in
🇨🇭Seferovic 8.7m, Shaqiri 7.4m, Sommer 5m
🇪🇸Sarabia 6.7m, Torres 8.1m, Azpi 5.1m (seems a steal if he starts)

Definitely could be goals in this one - I think there's better options than Swiss defence, but certainly Seferovic/Shaqiri are decent picks. If Azpilacueta starts he seems cheap at 5.1m and one to consider, but there's good picks all round for Spain

🇧🇪vs🇮🇹 - the match up of the Quarters? Two big teams, and lots of options too
🇧🇪Lukaku (11.3m), Meunier (5.7m), T Hazard (8.1)
🇮🇹Spinazzola (5.6m), Immobile (10.2m), Pessina (6.1m), Berardi (6.3m) - lots have Donnaruma (5.7m) as well but IMO there's better options

A big match here in the context of the tournament with two impressive teams - I'd avoid CBs/GKs because I think there will be goals and focus on attack/FBs for both teams. Italy in particular have some decent cheap MIDs (Berardi, Pessina) who are options here

🇩🇰vs 🇨🇿- could be a close one here, definitely CS potential and most players are fairly cheap so easy to fit in
🇩🇰Maehle (4.7m),Schmeichel (5m), Damsgaard (6.1), Braithwaite (7.5m)
🇨🇿Czech defence low owned - Coufal (5.3), Kalas (4.7), Holes (4.7), Schick (8.6m)

Seems like a tight fixture on paper, so a keeper from this game seems tempting, and Maehle and Schick have arguably been the finds of Euro Fantasy so far. Just because there's few big hitters in this match doesn't mean you should ignore it at all!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿vs🇺🇦 - definitely an intriguing tie! England players have scored well, but Ukraine have decent options in attack
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Sterling (9.7m), Walker (5.5m), Stones (5.7m), Pickford (5.7m)
🇺🇦Yarmenchuk (7.5m) Yarmolenko (8.7m), also cheap defence e.g. Zabaryni (4.5m) but no CS yet

Despite some lineup criticism, England have scored well in Euro Fantasy so far with 4 CSs and Sterling (9.7m) doing particularly well. Ukraine have a few key players worth looking at AND a very cheap defence, though they haven't kept a CS this tournament

Thanks for making it this far through - hopefully it's been helpful😄
My personal thoughts:
✅ 🇨🇭v🇪🇸 lineups before the deadline
✅Target 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿v🇺🇦 and 🇩🇰v🇨🇿for GKs
✅Look for FBs with🅰️potential (e.g. Maehle)
✅Seferovic/Damsgaard good punts
✅More overloads=harder fix in the SFs!
