Dugout Discussion – Tuesday – Group D

1,562 Comments

Group D now draws to a conclusion in Tuesday’s final pair of fixtures.

Spain go up against Croatia tonight as the defending champions look to extend their 100% record on the back of wins over Czech Republic and Turkey.

Vicente del Bosque’s men still need a point to top the group and avoid slipping to second place, where they’d be pitted against the winners of Group E, which looks likely to be Italy.

Croatia, meanwhile, are still reeling from a late capitulation against Czech Republic which saw them throw away a two-goal advantage with just 15 minutes left on the clock.

Turkey and Czech Republic go head-to-head in the other match. Fatih Terim’s men are one of only three sides yet to find the net in Euro 2016 and with just two shots on target, it’s fair to say they need to improve their shooting to stand any chance of progressing.

Bearing in mind that both sides were ranked in the bottom three for shots conceded inside the box after the first two rounds of fixtures, though, Fantasy managers will be optimistic of goals in the penultimate night of the group stages.

    So if your squad value is over 100m, when you make transfers you have to go back to 100m.

            Yes players who performed will go up in price.

            There were also players who were simply under priced at the start. This seems to reward those who went with these players and punish those who went with the more established expensive options.

                No I'm talking about players like Guerrero, Strinic etc who were not nailed on but people went with anyway because they were cheap. I own them as well btw.

                Doesn't seem fair that they get a possible 2-3m added to their budget just because others went with more established options.

                  Wouldn't the price change for a player only affect when you try to bring them in? Otherwise your team could be over budget from the go - so you'd be at an advantage not disadvantage

      Some bad options there. Really nothing to lose here or nothing to win either. I'd probably stick with the 1 pointers as both of your options may not start at all. However, you could keep Rafa Silva on if he was subbed last 2 matches which I am not sure about.

          100%. Except he may just be subbed and may score a odd goal or a cheeky assist to make you feel really bad.

          I'm swapping. Juanfran and fabregas were 'confirmed' out as well but ended up starting. Worth a risk for 1 point.

            Spain had incentives for the match. Italy doesn't. And Conte already told publicly how they are going to rotate their squad.

            Conte is a very smart manager. It is logical to rotate all XI players. Spain had no similar motivation.

              True. But I would risk it for 1 point. Wouldn't have for 2 🙂

                    Then you are subbing the one pointer out Lukaku and a two pointer for Gia

                        yup shaqiri (2) > lukaku, juanfran (1) > gia. Total 3 points subbed out

                        But if you just do Juanfran > Lukaku , you are effectively subbing 2 points out for Gia

      Only Perisic.
      Probably
      Payet and Rami maybe. Not Tripling on them. Didn't look that convincing so far.
      Bale, Ramsey is a good choice. Except Milik, maybe Blaszczychowski/Grosicki. But, only 1 I think.

      But, Belgium looks like the best route for me.
