Malinovksiy is one of the best long-range shooters in the tournament and is a midfield who's more about attacking space and getting himself into goalscoring opportunities, at least for Atalanta. Zielinski also scores a lot, has a good shot and is a better playmaker. There's no right or wrong decision. I personally took Ruslan because Ukraine has way easier matches than Poland. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunmaN1905 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Can captains be switched mid-day? For example I have Eriksen playing in the second game tomorrow and then Lukaku in third. Can I switch between games or it's only in the morning before all the games start? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Lucas Posted June 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 11, 2021 It says there is a sub window opening up tomorrow so it seems like it. I reckon they've allowed it because of the chance of players getting injured during matches, its a bit sly considering you might have a 4 day wait in the group stages.

Barry Cartman Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Pretty sure it says changes can only be made until kick off of the 1st match on any day. It's not clear because of their use of the phrase Matchday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnterUsernameHere Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I've got Berardi captain. Switching to Lukaku if needed but if he gets 6 I won't bother switching again (even with a few others in back up). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_jagster Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) My understanding is you can change captain or sub before the first game of the day only. So today you can only choose a captain for one of the three games. Edit: the exception being where some teams are playing their first game, and others their second on the same day, where it is a different matchday so you can captain a player for round 1 and round 2 even though matches are the same day.

Annoying because my planned swaps out were Hintereggier and Alaba, and now it looks like Denayer will have to go. Also, ruing not putting Lukaku as captain but did not expect Russia to be so awful in their opening game Only 2 points lost mind since I went with Immobile.

av3ry Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) No de Ligt, no Denayer, Cancelo out, Chiesa on the bench, Hradecky on my bench with Donnarumma starting. But Captained Lukaku. All this says is that most people are noobs. Although I cant blame most people for me starting Donnarumma over Hradecky.

Donnarumma gets a clean sheet, who would sub him out for Hradecky after that? Especially because that means you can't sub back for second matchday and by the looks of things Donnarumma could get another clean sheet. I was 0.5m short of having Dimitrevski as backup, but doesn't really mater. Won't be subbing Donnarumma. I had Belotti hoping Immobile will be his usual, average self for Italy. Meunier and Lukaku got me 35 points, Christiansen only 2 and Eriksen 1. Only have Lainer, Malinovskiy and Kramarić today. Dias, Pau Torres and Bernardo will have to do work off the bench.

GunmaN1905 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Now you have to explain all that to me. So free transfers are swaps we can do between rounds for free? As in replacing the players with same value? But any other transfers reduce our budgets? What's limitless? I'm lost. 62 points so far with Pau, Olmo, Dias, Bernardo left to play.

Read the rules mate Limitless - you can play one team for one MatchDay only with no price limit. I don't know whether you have unlimited transfers for this or whether you have to stick within the rules. You have two free transfers between each MatchDay. There is also a Wildcard (unlimited transfers for one round) in addition to Limitless. Honestly seems so pointless adding Limitless. The Wildcard is overkill also IMO as I think you get unlimited transfers between the group stages and knockout rounds anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baptista_8 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 And of course you can't sub him in manually after he's already played If that was the case everyone would be subbing Hradecky in for Donnarumma. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjericho Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I haven't checked yet but in the CL fantasy about an hour before the matches start the app displays an icon to indicate which players are in the starting XI, that is a good strategy to wait for substitutions. Only works for the first match of the day though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
