Oh, the pangs of benched FPL points continue to haunt me.
You know you can do manual transfers in this Fantasy? You leave someone that plays the last day like Lukaku on the bench and then after day 1 or 2 you can manually sub him for someone who played and got a point or 2. For instance, I just subbed in Fernandes for Szoboslai. I think you are fucked yeah

Limitless and Wildcard delima - sat in front of my desktop for more than 3 hours not knowing which is best considering there might be heavy rotation in M3 for qualified teams. Might end up not using any at this point...
Isn't it way too early for you to even consider using chips? I know I've got no skin in the game but I would hold off using them until at least the knockout stages.
Unlimited transfer at Round 16, 3 FT before quarterfinals, 4 FT before semifinals, and 5FT before Final- this is enough to survive without chips. chips are best used in group stages to combat rotation from qualified teams and to get rid of knocked out players or MD5.
Same boat and makes sense to use one of those chips as we get closer to the midpoint...just avoiding those countries that will be qualified after matchday 2...
Finally used my wildcard to get the worst setup- Switzerland and Croatia assets killed me.
One day we would have a long conversation on the Croatia team without peak Kovasic.
Captained Lukaku, he gets two goals cancelled and misses a clutch of chances. Shit return of 2 points.
Changed captaincy to Jota, he is benched. Finally gets to the pitch after conceding. Scores a matchwinner... another VAR cancellation. Mm offside. Can't catch a break.

Rafael Leo and Ronaldo's combination in the 3-5-2 is a dead end; both players were sloppy and had no business on the pitch; it was the worst 45 minutes of game I've seen so far. Cancelo, as a RWB, did not make any successful crosses; the entire system was chaotic until Jota entered.
I'm sure if Martinez had known that buwaytress captained Jota, he wouldn't have bothered to bring him on--you captain Lukaku and Jota, and both had their goals disallowed in less than 48 hours. The jinx King...
50 points for MD1 - MD2 next..
Bernardo would also be better positioned as an attacking midfielder who has creativity rather than forcing him as a winger because in my opinion that is not very suitable.
Their second match will be against Türkiye. Looking at the current conditions, Turkey will clearly be in trouble, especially with the performance they showed in the first match, so this could be a problem for Portugal if Martinez doesn't implement a new scheme and make changes to the attack line because of the 3 striker scheme with Bernardo on the wing. I don't see that. well, it would be more possible if only 2 players were the focus at the front as target men.
Guys, am I fucked?
I need three people to stay on the bench to get Mittelstadt's points.

Havertz and Wirtz coming off in 58th minute.. At least no doubt there, both have to be replaced.
A slow start to the round, having Mittelstadt will help though. Best pick in whole fantasy considering his cost.
Don't hate the player, hate the game A slow start to the round, having Mittelstadt will help though. Best pick in whole fantasy considering his cost.
To be honest am happy those two didn't get the points in this round because the gap at the top would have widened and several fantasy mangers were ready to cashin on them
Btw having to face notorious Switzerland, I would be careful with team Germany in the next gameweek.
Round 1 of MD2 and I already matched my points from whole MD1. Time to catch up with the top.

Just so you guys know, I "decided" that my team roster would stay exactly the same. How did I decide? By thinking I did my transfers last night, one by taking out Szoboszlai and replacing with Kroos... and I guess I forgot to confirm. I suppose neither makes a difference.
Hhampuz and Rruchi man belongs to that list if we're being honest, whatever they have on their team and whoever they captain you just gonna skip and look for someone else. They're going to jinx you to death.... 
I would be honoured to be in the same category as Hhampuz. Today, I will jinx Switzerland as Xhaka's in my midfield.
This was an opportunity for he coach to learn, they were Lucky. Jota is a better option, he increases the. attacking threats for Portugal because he is a very good goal scorer with any part of his body.
This has been argued to death, even at the last Euro... I have given up on Portugal realising their potential. Hope it was just a MD1 "fooled ya" move.

Finally captains return "Ilkay Gundogan" goal+ assist + clean sheet this should have been the matchday 1 result ,and had to wait for matchday 2 which is good...but am worried that matchday 3 the German team would want to play a reserved game to avoid injuries...but been hosts the fans will want to feast on some good goals to celebrate about..let's go team Germany

We already have the Sheriff, Mafia and now there is a Jinx King, I know quite a number of people fall into into this Jinx kingdom category, but what's a kingdom without a King ??!

Arda's wonder goal against Georgia justifies the value that Real Madrid places on him. They can stun Portugal.
Turkey scoring some real screamers yesterday. If you guys didn't see those goals, search them up, they are well worthy of your time.Not really happy with my Round 1 score, but still trusting most of the players, Round 2 will be better hopefully.

Ronaldo was happy with this, the goal Czech scored was unexpected. Turkey will not be an easier opponent, that team has players who are giving their all.

Decent result - saved by captaining Wirtz though and not removing him for Kane/Lukaku.
Still getting used to the format - how many times per day can we switch captains?
Can I select Gvardiol and replace him with Wirtz or is it one captain per day?

Same match day not possible, your deadline is 14:00 to make all the changes you need. After Croatia kickoff you can't do anything until the next match day..... Same captain per match day.

Changed captaincy to Jota, he is benched. Finally gets to the pitch after conceding. Scores a matchwinner... another VAR cancellation. Mm offside. Can't catch a break.

It's time to get back to the drawing board for everyone, I guess the very first thing to rule out now when making any decision is a probably clean sheet, right ?
Both Fernandes and Cancelo didn't do much of earning significant points, so I might have successfully avoided a major disaster there to be very honest.

I can't believe I just missed the deadline to bring in Bruno Fernandez and Joao Cancelo who are the two players left on the bench for me, now all I can hope if start Portugal should continue the good work Belgium and Ukraine have started as well 
You needed that humbling to not run away with the title, look up your team and I can tell those subs were for Dimarco and Rodri/jorginho
Yeah right, I feel utterly sad by that miss to be honest, even if they end up not providing much difference, and I only forgot simply because it takes time before the daily points are confirmed, so I couldn’t effect the changes yesterday.
A clean will probably be on the cards for Cancelo here, 30 minutes to play for.
