The jinx King...

The Jinx King, I guess that's another nickname that would last in this Board...

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 ??!  Grin

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....  Cheesy

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...

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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..

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  Sad Sad Sad

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.

BTW I haven't figured out how to share a team, is it possible here? Want to show my kid also playing how dumb I am.

Just take a screenshot and that's all. What else do you want to share?

I had Lukaku..... what a pain he was, missing 3 clear chances and scoring two goals who were dissalowed, pure pain. Lukaku is turning more and more into a Higuain for Argentina, scoring a lot of goals but also missing other few and not scoring in big matches, or missing important goals for the team when is most needed.

All my money now in the clasic CR7.

Lukaku giving out pure Darwin vibes, missing chances left and right and then scoring screemers when VAR has enough to eule them out.

If I knew you have him I would have looked elsewhere for striker points  Grin

Hush now, don't be mean. Darwin's just had a hattrick, and he's going to bring Copa back to his adoring country of 3 million superNunezfans.

I even had Ukraine keeper, good thing I benched him.

I also didn't check buwatress lineup I would have done the same. When buwaytress captain someone it's good enough reason to avoid such a player.  Grin

Witness the mastery as I switched captaincy to Jota. Your Bruno can he please supply 3 sublime assists? I'll be sure to share my team for MD2 so the rest of you can weep. Hint: it isn't going to change much at all.

I had Wirtz as a captain and thought of replacing him with Kane, luckily I did not.

England was so disappointing after taking the lead early on, if they continue playing like this I'll replace all of their players.
The biggest disappointment of the EUROs so far, and I have 3 of them in my team.

Why would anyone want to risk his 20 pointer captain for anyone else in this difficult round with unexpected results? I had Mittlesadt as my first captain choice, he dropped a stinker and switched it to Foden, he also ghosted but his ball recovery points were enough to accumulate a 10 pointer, I had the chance to switch it over to either Mbappe or Lukaku then I said to myself "fck it no more moving" and luckily for me both Lukaku and Mbappe dropped a stinker to make me feel proud of my decision.

Now I need Bruno masterclass today to shoot me to top5

The gods of football were cruel to me. Lukaku's my captain, two goals that could have been, two goals that never were, and right smack in the middle I sit. Only saved by benching all the shit players.

Can't believe I fell for Kane. Jota left to save my day.

I think the first two match days incredibly raised our hope and expectations of great offensive football, but it has been a reality check since then, teams you’d expect to score in a free flowing fashion are all awful, defenses that are supposed to be stable can’t keep their noses clean.

It really would be fun to know how many points each player would have had right now without dynamic rules at play here and it’s just the regular FPL no mid-match day substitutions or captaincy switching.

Yep, this is so true. The last few days were really disappointing, especially from England and France.
Let's see what Portugal does today, but overall a great start and all downhill after that.

When it gets more important, it'll probably reduce the quality of football by another level.

Man, i put a lot of eggs on the defensive basket, and most of the teams failed in a miserabile way. But well next round can be better.

About England performance..... super shit man, i really dont know what they are thinking, because when i see some part of the game England start to play in defensive mode without any reason with all the offensive guys in their field, including Harry Kane Saka etc.

Belgium were just very unlucky in that game, I never expected them to loose. For them to have two goals ruled out by VAR, it wasn't their day. Since the decisions were explained, It may seem harsh, but they were correct to me.

Kante was everywhere in the field for France, it really justifies his selection because he helped Saliba and also preserved their clean sheet. Not a great performance from France to me, but it was okay to get them the three points.

Some horrible officiating today, I really hope that the refs step it up in the coming days..
