Having just three transfers before the QFs is about to become an issue for me. ;D

De Ligt starting and Holes on the bench :duh :duh
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Yeah I'm fucked for the next round and probably this one.

Took the risk of having 4 Dutch players...

Oh and I have KDB in my team...

Three players currently out now, though that could easily have been worse. Shit captaincy choices up to now too. As long as France and Sweden go through I don't think I have too much damage, just four players leaving the tournament (have 1 of each GER/ENG). At least Maehle did me proud.

Four Dutchmen, four Frenchmen in my team, wild card played already. That's me done if France don't overturn this. And even if they do, I'm getting a pathetic total for this round.

Unless Shaqiri gets a double hat trick in the next 45 minutes I think I'm done (I was anyway)

8 points from 4 italians, 6 points from 4 dutch players, 1 point from 2 spanish players and Kevin '48 mins' DB. Takes some doing that.

Update

24 goals in 6 games, 3 clean sheets in total, selected players from 4 of the 6 winning teams and....
virtually nothing from all that, not a goal, an assist or a clean sheet. Just a booking.

At least I have Benzema as captain and Lloris in goal (saved a penalty). Those two are currently getting me more points than the other nine put together.

Same here. Must be really sure about a player to pay four points for a transfer. On the other hand, playing with eight men is not much fun either. ;D

Benzema being my captain might have saved me from having an absolutely terrible round of 16.

Though people like me who have already played both chips for defo fucked for the next round  ;D

One point for me in these last three games, but at least I'm still top. :)

Just four players left in my fantasy team, though. ;D

Some sort of all time low in my football prediction ability, in a team entirely selected for these games, the whole squad managed 22 points, 1 player managed 3 points (somehow), even though 10 players were in winning teams and every player played.

I think I will just try and enjoy myself and get my confidence back.

Ok so here’s my predictions for the quarters

Switzerland 2-2 Spain. Spain 3-2 win after et.
Belgium 1-2 Italy
Czech rep 0-1 Denmark
Ukraine 0-2 England

I’ve used my wildcard and filled the defence with England and Denmark players.
Mids and forwards are from Italy and Spain, thrown in Sterling Shaqiri and had a go on Dolberg too.

Obviously it can all go wrong here with only having 5 transfers for the semis but I’m more confident Denmark and England go through so they make up the majority. For the final I’ll probs be screwed. I don’t have the brain power to do the math and try to even out the risk.

Shrewd of you to still have a wildcard. I still have limitless, which I'll probably use now, but then I'll be back to having four (or fewer) players for the semis. ;D

Think I'll take an 8 point hit for transfers. Just going to wait for the Spain line up to be released before confirming everything.

Played my limitless when the teams were announced for the first game. Bought Morata, Sarabia and Ferran Torres, who got four points between them. ;D

And now Spinazzola is injured, I'm down to three players for the semis. Not sure about paying for transfers, very rarely can you be sure someone will get more than four points.

Did the same with Morata and Sarabia (neither of whom managed the 60 minute 2nd point), Berardi and Spinazzola, swapped out Shaqiri as well. I had Alba as well who had the goal stripped off him and managed to concede from Shaqiri, I bring bad luck on all I choose.

At least I had Insigne for captain, first bit of fortune I've had in 10 games.

Can't believe the bastards didn't give him the goal, the shot was clearly on target.

Looks like there's a runaway leader. Can't see anyone catching them now. Is Kaushikc92 on RAWK somewhere?

I've been keeping a low profile because I signed up about an hour before the deadline, panicked and picked the dumbest name ever :D  Currently in the top 10 though, so I'll be happy with that finish.

Not been too much interaction in here in general though. Next one we do (World Cup?) should probably only PM out codes to people who post in the thread and make sure everyone uses their RAWK names. Should make it more competitive and feel like a proper RAWK league.

Shite. Absolutely shite. Not even got the excuse of saying I gave up early because I’ve been trying the whole way through. The shame.

An acceptable performance in the predictions though...even if there is only a dozen others to compete with.
