Curious: Why change Rodri to Kvaratskhelia? Spain has more favorable fixtures (compared to Georgia), Rodri is just as likely to win MOTM, being one of the best players, and is cheaper.
Georgia has more favorable fixtures imo. Turkey is struggling and I think they can get a point out of the Czechia game as well. They only face Portugal in MD3, when Fran will likely Limitless. Plus Kvara is a forward listed as midfielder on penalties (kind of a cheat code if things go right). As for man of the match, if both Georgia and Spain win, Kvara is more likely to win it, because as a forward he can have a bigger contribution. Also very hard to predict if a midfielder can win man of the match, you need a very specific scenario where the award doesn't go to someone who scored. Finally, Rodri is cheaper but just €0.5m cheaper, nothing special
I think the Spain MOTM share is much likely to be split between our best players (Yamal, Pedri, Rodri) and even Morata/Williams or the fullbacks can take it as edge picks. The more dominant you are in all phases of play, like Kvara is compared to his peers, the easier it would be for him to get a higher MOTM share.
Spain has Croatia then Italy not sure how that's more favourable. Rodri may get more ball recoveries in those games as a result but it greatly limits his attacking threat.
Rate my team Ronaldo, Mbappe, Lukaku Jorginho, Gundogan, De bruyne, Eriksen, Bruno Faes, mittelstadt,Trent, Dimarco, Mancini, verbrugen, Costa Also I'm free hitting gameweek two
Cancelo, very attacking and Portugal has easy fixtures while Netherlands will lose to France and might even lose to Austria. Rodri since he is probably the best midfielder in the world.
Cancelo if MD1+MD2, Van Dijk for purely MD1. Shaqiri vs Rodri is personal preference, very close calls because ofc fixtures are the differentiating factor and Shaqiri's minutes are (at his current age), poor.
How's this draft? I made it with 3 ideas in mind: - I personally have good history with off role players, mainly forwards listed as midfielders; - I think most set piece takers are overrated, including penalty takers. I still picked Dimarco just because the other nailed on Italian defenders cost an extra €0.5m (Di Lorenzo, Bastoni); - LL MD3 and WC MD5. GK: Lunin and a random €4.0m keeper (will never field him so it doesn't matter who he is) DEF: Cancelo, Mæhle, Dimarco, De Cuyper, Mittelstädt MF: De Bruyne, B. Fernandes, Xavi Simons, Kvaratskhelia, Mudryk FW: Ronaldo, Lukaku, Havertz
I like that your team is a bit different (especially in forwards) than many others! Could get ahead like that. The only things about your team is: I see a lot of people saying Simons isnt necessarily a clear cut starter. He could be in rotation with Frimpong (and others). So it could be risky. Also banking on Lunin being perfect is risky. Would rather spend 0.5 more on a backup keeper. Or maybe a 4 million goalkeeper playing on later days. For instance Czech keeper Stanek.
@@oskar385 Thanks for the tips. I should've mentioned that I plan to invest the €0.5m I have in the bank on something Croatian in MD2, so you gave me the assist with the Xavi Simons news. I might swap him out and upgrade Lunin to Livakovic, will have to think more about it. As for the backup GK, I said "random €4.0m keeper" but I actually have Stanek in my team. I guess I just didn't give him importance, since I don't plan to rely on him lol edit: typos
Why not go with sake instead of foden . The data shows he been more consistent especially in qualifying I’m not convince foden will thrive playing out of position due to Bellingham
yeah but ronaldo to havertz is a noticeable downgrade. Don't mind a punt personally but I agree Foden is dicey since he's not been astounding for England just yet
It depends on the player that you have coming off the bench and how many points you predict them to get. For me, any return is usually good enough to stay in the team and 2 returns is good enough to stick as captain.
This is too situational to answer. Generally I think you will have a lot of blanks and naturally you willl auto-sub. I think 5-6+ and you might want to keep unless you have weapons coming in.
Same defence I’ve gone verbruggen for md1 he’ll be swapped for md2 and I’ve gone for Ronaldo lukaku with havertz. no mbappe and Kane lets me have a stacked mid with de bruyne foden wirtz Bruno and szoboslai
This is a general market (betting odds) sentiment, so if you are high on them you can obviously 'bet' against it. I think most are going triple Italy to target MD1 from what I can see.
I think CR7 over Kane makes a lot of sense. Plus CR7 is more of a differential. I’m not expecting a lot from England against Serbia in general. Here’s my MD1 draft: GK: Lunin, Pickford DEF: Cancelo, Mittlestadt, DiMarco, Faes, Konoplia MID: Bruno, KdB, Gundo, Calha, Jorginho FWD: CR7, Mbappe, Lukaku Thoughts?
Solid in all roles. I'm just personally not a fan of either Gundogan, Calhanoglu or Jorginho, but that's your personal preference. The 3 forwards are the best trio you can get, so really like that
@@blackluke789 thanks! I think that’s the compromise I’m willing to make on the midfield by stacking up forwards and squeezing in Cancelo. Really counting on those 3 midfielders being well rounded in terms of point scoring such as ball recoveries, penalties, outside of the box goals, key passes on top of the usual stuff. 🤞 What’s your squad looking like?
@@adkataaai guess I’ll start with Gundo then switch to DiMarco, Pickford, Mbappe/Lukaku and finally CR7 as long as none of the previous choices get me 10+ pts (x2).
Interesting, I have the same front 3 and a similar defence. The only thing I don't like is your midfield, surely there are better options than Soboszlai and the Georgian guy for the same amount of money. I still managed to fit KDB in by picking slightly cheaper options, going Saka over Foden and picking a 4m GK. I guess I focused a bit less on exceptional individual talent and more on teams with 2 good fixtures, so I dropped Di Marco & Jorginho, and looked at teams like Ukraine and Switzerland instead.
@@Helloooooo1 I saw someone from Ukraine recommend Konoplia (4,5m) as an exciting option, and I checked some team selection videos that suggest he should start at RWB. My playstyle is to go for exiciting wing backs over boring center backs, so I currently have Mittelstadt, Trent, Widmer, De Cuyper and Konoplia. All have 2 good fixtures and potential for attacking returns.
@@MrTwister242 that's a very strong backline. I'm also going with the ones who can give me attack returns, currently I have dimarco, cancelo, de cuypter, mittelstadt and going for maehle as a differential ( might change him with Dumfries)
Going Ukraine and Switzerland works fine. Going for the Georgian/Hungarian players is more of a bet on MOTM aspect of the scoring and hoping for an 'upset'
It’s good to see some else have motm in mind also I’m going without mbappe till match day 3 Cause the first 2 fixtures may be to difficult for France I’m not saying he won’t do well I just believe there is more upside else where . And I’m my opinion mbappe have gone off the boil since the champions league. But I will bring him on a md3 where he will definitely play cause that lads always wants the golden boots and have better upside
I feel like people aren’t really considering the player of the match bonus much 🤔 Players like De Bruyne who have goal threat too are also very likely to get player of the match and score high

@@FPLFran "While they are not expected to play on Monday, they increased their work load from individual training over the last weeks to taking part in the team warm-up on Thursday and doing ball work with the squad on Friday in an obvious set of progressive steps." - From Reuters article today
Using my chips in md2 & 3. Thoughts on my team? Verbruggen & Lunin Trent, Dimarco, Van dijk, Mittelstadt, Faes Bruno, Bellingham, Eriksen, Kroos, Szoboszlai Kane, Lukaku, Depay I think Kroos has a lot of ways to points and at a good price, Eriksen & Szobo are talismans for their teams, with 2 premiums in Bellingham & Bruno. I like the attacking threat from my defenders and the goalkeepers both have great fixtures first game. Gone for Kane over Mbappe as I see Kane outperforming Mbappe first gameweek. Lukaku was a no brainer. Gone for Depay as a punt as I really like the Poland game as a fixture to target and is a big differential.
Foden is great but he hasn’t performed well for England yet. His role iaht the same as it is for City. I think he will be an early sub, just like Gundo, because there is Palmer and Gordon off the bench to replace him.
I agree he's played poorly for England historically. Keep in mind I doubt Kevin (the comparative option) isn't likely to clock crazy mins either due to needing to maintain match fitness. I'll definitely have a 'think' about the Foden spot but I'm not so worried about his minutes even though he is prone to being subbed. I just don't see it nearly being as early as a potential Gundo sub
Fran you have Georgia only with 2.0 xg over the first 2 games and Hungary even much less but Switzerland have 3.0 xg so wouldn’t that make shaquiri far better than szbosolai and kvart? Since he’s on all set pieces too
I can not see hungary and swiss not scoring against them. If scotland scores in opening game that will be it. My opinion. And yes i will place bet on germany but not to win to nil. Possibly both team score and germany win.
Need an update on the Mbappe situation as he hasn’t trained! I’m going out for food with the mrs at 6 so don’t wanna miss any changes before the deadline 😂
Nice work, but somethings worry me. DiMarco and Jorginho have bad MD2, and TAA could be in rotation, so if you got unlucky with one injury you are almost without subs for MD2, yes you can do 2 transfers but you are very limited
Jorginho doesn't bring attacking returns anyway, so you can look at him in 2 ways: 1. he's always a bad pick if you highly consider consistent attacking returns (penalties are not guaranteed to happen) 2. he's not a bad pick even in a bad fixture, cause being against Albania or Spain doesn't change much: the majority of his points will still come from ball recoveries, and those always happen. In fact it might be that he recovers more against Spain than Albania, since Italy is a ball dominant team and will likely hold possession a lot. Not much room for ball recoveries in that case Dimarco is different, as he relies more on clean sheets and consistent attacking returns (assists mainly). So a bad fixture is bad for him and you should swap him out
@@holahovito11 As I said, penalties are not guaranteed to happen, it *might* be worth it. It might also be a waste of €5m lol At the end of the day you're all betting on the fact people ton of penalties are given, otherwise your player won't score. I can't predict it will happen
@@blackluke789 It's not about betting on penalties happening. You need 15 players and not all can start. If you can spend 5mil on a mid it will help you improve somewhere else. His ownership is high for a reason.
Eriksen (or Szoboszlai) + Gundogan is better for MD1. Denmark will probably win 1-0 or 2-0. Germany's pens are taken by Gundogan according to many websites.
I don't like Gundogan as an attacking midfielder who averages close to 0 key passes, but I'd still pick him and Eriksen over someone else + Jorginho. I'd rather have two players that can bring returns instead of just 1. I don't trust Italy getting a penalty, you can't predict it
I'm more worried about Saka's fitness and minutes as a result. Historically Saka has performed much better than Jude/Foden but this is also the tournament where I can see the bookies are high on the latter two players and less so with Saka due to the uncertainties at play. IMO I'd prefer Saka if I knew he was 100%
Every Matchday goes on for multiple days (MD1 starts Friday and ends on Tuesday for example) and you can change captain in between matches. So at the beginning you can take risks, the best option would be a defender who can score or get an assist (Mittelstädt is suggested, since he's in many teams). If it doesn't go well, you always have other picks day by day, ending with Portuguese players on Tuesday or until you're happy
Great video! I do have my doubts on Kvaratskhelia and Szoboszlai though and I'm a bit surprised to see them in your team after having watched your previous video's. I understand the whole motm argument but that's also one of the few elements that you haven't got data for. And while Kvaratskhelia and Szoboszlai have fewer teammates to compete with for MOTM, the chances of their teams winning their matches are far lower than some alternative players. That will also affect motm odds (especially for MD2). Then considering the fact that their expected goal/assist odds are far lower than for instance the combination Shaqiri/Wirtz I would've really expected different choices here.
The issue is regarding minutes for the latter two players. Odds assume you usually play a full match most often and Shaq/Gundo will very much be earlier subs, which makes the argument a lot closer. Szobo in particular is very good at ball recoveries too.
Thoughts on my team? I’ve gone with Gulasci, Lunin Mittelstadt, Tah, Maehle, Konoplia, Castagne Rodri, Højbjerg, Wirtz, Trossard, Bruno Kane, Mbappe, Lukaku The idea is to transfer Maehle to Gvardiol for matchday 2 as Maehle plays England but Gvardiol plays Albania The second transfer will be decided after matchday 1
I like the draft bar Hoj, Castagne. Gulacsi if I'm honest. You can also save money from Castagne imo, and I don't really like Gulacsi at all for that price.
@@FPLFran Gulasci I get but I can’t find a better 4.5 keeper that I like that rotates well with Lunin, besides I’m confident Lunin will get me some decent points and he plays second so I’ll not have to rely on Gulasci, Højbjerg has scored in his last 3 games for Denmark which I know are only friendlies but he’s in great form going into the tournament and has a decent record at past tournaments (usually for assists) with a decent chance of getting ball recovery points, Castagne’s just one of them where I have that feeling about him and I’m scared if I remove him he’ll haul 🤣
You can change captain every day within the gameweek, however, you cannot change back so always captain the player playing first and then decide if his points are enough to keep or to gamble on a new captain
Also you cannot change captain within the same day so if you puck captain at 2pm game you cannot change to 5pm game, can only change captain the next day
I personally think this draft is not great. Your attack is way past its prime (Lukaku and Cristiano). Your cc is full of risky bets (Slobo, Kvara and Jorginho), and I’m in awe with how you think your defence line is a strong one. There is a reason if almost nobody heard of Mittelstadt, Tah and De Cuyper before the publication of the Fantasy List and that reason is that they are mediocre players. The fact that they are “a bargain” as they are nailed for starting doesn’t make them stronger.
I think the point is that for defenders, the "most" important isnt their individual skill, but the strength of the team they are playing for. If you find cheap defenders for good teams that you know will be starting its still a strong defence, even though they themself might not be the strongest players. Of course individual skill (assists/goals etc) play a part. But its less predictable, than clean sheets.

Need an update on the Mbappe situation as he hasn’t trained! I’m going out for food with the mrs at 6 so don’t wanna miss any changes before the deadline 😂
I think the simple move is to go Mbappe to Kane if you are uncertain
@@FPLFranthere’s already 3 English players
@@TWill1606 yes, but you can just drop Fodeen to a relevant 7m mid (Gundo). And then enjoy. It seems, anyways, that Mbappe is very good.
Are you and fpl harry the same person 😂
ermh, no. Why do you ask aha
@@FPLFran oh u and harry both changed your teams the exact same way
Where can I find the MD1 and MD2 clean sheet graph percentages you had at 5:27? Thanks

Congrats on 30k brother!! So well deserved!!
Thank you Rohitz! Didn't think we'd get this far...
Who is our starting 11 and captain?
Just need to know who to bench and who to captain please :)
you just line up based on the day of play mate. There is an auto-sub mechanic. and you choose a captain daily
Nice work, but somethings worry me. DiMarco and Jorginho have bad MD2, and TAA could be in rotation, so if you got unlucky with one injury you are almost without subs for MD2, yes you can do 2 transfers but you are very limited
IF
Jorginho doesn't bring attacking returns anyway, so you can look at him in 2 ways:
1. he's always a bad pick if you highly consider consistent attacking returns (penalties are not guaranteed to happen)
2. he's not a bad pick even in a bad fixture, cause being against Albania or Spain doesn't change much: the majority of his points will still come from ball recoveries, and those always happen. In fact it might be that he recovers more against Spain than Albania, since Italy is a ball dominant team and will likely hold possession a lot. Not much room for ball recoveries in that case
Dimarco is different, as he relies more on clean sheets and consistent attacking returns (assists mainly). So a bad fixture is bad for him and you should swap him out
@@blackluke789 A 5mil Midfielder on Penalities is worth it. Especially when you have the likes of Bruno, Mbappe and Cancelo on the bench.
@@holahovito11 As I said, penalties are not guaranteed to happen, it *might* be worth it. It might also be a waste of €5m lol
At the end of the day you're all betting on the fact people ton of penalties are given, otherwise your player won't score. I can't predict it will happen
@@blackluke789 It's not about betting on penalties happening. You need 15 players and not all can start. If you can spend 5mil on a mid it will help you improve somewhere else. His ownership is high for a reason.
If you only were focused on matchday 1 would your prefer Eriksen and Gundo or Jorginho and Foden?
Eriksen (or Szoboszlai) + Gundogan is better for MD1. Denmark will probably win 1-0 or 2-0. Germany's pens are taken by Gundogan according to many websites.
I don't like Gundogan as an attacking midfielder who averages close to 0 key passes, but I'd still pick him and Eriksen over someone else + Jorginho. I'd rather have two players that can bring returns instead of just 1. I don't trust Italy getting a penalty, you can't predict it
Eriksen + Gundo
Eriksen or Jorginho?
Eriksen
What captains u picking?
Trent, Mbappe, Ronnie
Can somebody tell me Costa or raya
costa , portugal has a strong defense
@@rodrigopereira7450 thx
Raya doesn't even start for Spain sadly!
Foden or saka hmm
Tough one - just think Saka's minutes are a bit dubious due to injury so I like Foden for now...
What are your thoughts on Saka vs Foden?
Had the same question
Just choose one nobody know who’s gonna be better
I'm more worried about Saka's fitness and minutes as a result. Historically Saka has performed much better than Jude/Foden but this is also the tournament where I can see the bookies are high on the latter two players and less so with Saka due to the uncertainties at play. IMO I'd prefer Saka if I knew he was 100%
Congrats on 30K🔥
Thank you bro!
Can someone explain how captains work? Makes ot sound like you can change it every game.
Yes you have the option to change every day
You can change as often as you like, as long as the new captain has not played yet. You can change even after your current captain has played.
Thanks guys
You can change it every day, so one captain for the 14 June games, and then you can swap to a 15 June captain and so on until you settle on one.
And who will be on your bench?
The ones who play last so Lunin; Fernandes, Kvara & De Cuyper I'd imagine.
there isn't really a bench in this game - but Sleep has it correct.
@@sleep99PS3wait can we sub endlessly between matches?
who is your captain going to be, you mentioned multiple but only one is allowed no?
No you can switch daily
You can change it after every day - so 14 June, 15 June.. and so on
@@FPLFran I can switch it daily but if i switch do my points go back to half or do they stay doubled
@@maxoooTRADESthey go back.
Foden over Saka?
More doubts over the latter's fitness.
The best option for a captain?
Every Matchday goes on for multiple days (MD1 starts Friday and ends on Tuesday for example) and you can change captain in between matches. So at the beginning you can take risks, the best option would be a defender who can score or get an assist (Mittelstädt is suggested, since he's in many teams). If it doesn't go well, you always have other picks day by day, ending with Portuguese players on Tuesday or until you're happy
@@blackluke789thank you
You can rotate them every ‘day’ of the MD. What Luke said is quite sensible
How does it work for captains to earn more points?
Captain tah or middelstat?
Mitt
@@FPLFranYou really think Trent will start?
Lets go ~~~!
Vamos!
Great video! I do have my doubts on Kvaratskhelia and Szoboszlai though and I'm a bit surprised to see them in your team after having watched your previous video's.
I understand the whole motm argument but that's also one of the few elements that you haven't got data for. And while Kvaratskhelia and Szoboszlai have fewer teammates to compete with for MOTM, the chances of their teams winning their matches are far lower than some alternative players. That will also affect motm odds (especially for MD2).
Then considering the fact that their expected goal/assist odds are far lower than for instance the combination Shaqiri/Wirtz I would've really expected different choices here.
The issue is regarding minutes for the latter two players. Odds assume you usually play a full match most often and Shaq/Gundo will very much be earlier subs, which makes the argument a lot closer. Szobo in particular is very good at ball recoveries too.
Thoughts on my team?
I’ve gone with
Gulasci, Lunin
Mittelstadt, Tah, Maehle, Konoplia, Castagne
Rodri, Højbjerg, Wirtz, Trossard, Bruno
Kane, Mbappe, Lukaku
The idea is to transfer Maehle to Gvardiol for matchday 2 as Maehle plays England but Gvardiol plays Albania
The second transfer will be decided after matchday 1
I like the draft bar Hoj, Castagne. Gulacsi if I'm honest. You can also save money from Castagne imo, and I don't really like Gulacsi at all for that price.
@@FPLFran Gulasci I get but I can’t find a better 4.5 keeper that I like that rotates well with Lunin, besides I’m confident Lunin will get me some decent points and he plays second so I’ll not have to rely on Gulasci, Højbjerg has scored in his last 3 games for Denmark which I know are only friendlies but he’s in great form going into the tournament and has a decent record at past tournaments (usually for assists) with a decent chance of getting ball recovery points, Castagne’s just one of them where I have that feeling about him and I’m scared if I remove him he’ll haul 🤣
@@georgebailey7080 might as well cheapen down more and go Stanek
How many times Can you change captaincy each gw?
You can change captain every day within the gameweek, however, you cannot change back so always captain the player playing first and then decide if his points are enough to keep or to gamble on a new captain
Also you cannot change captain within the same day so if you puck captain at 2pm game you cannot change to 5pm game, can only change captain the next day
@@davidhollis7229Thanks! Rate my team:
GK: Verbruggen, Diogo Costa
DEF: Trent Arnold, Tah, Mittelstadt, Diamarco & De Cuyper
MID: Eriksen, Saka, Wirtz, Jorginho & Bruno Fernandes
FOR: Lukaku, Mbappe & CR7
once every 'day' of play. So a 14 June captain, then a 15.
Is trossard a good option?
for 8 Million I wouldnt say so
@@elzinga87 really tempted to keep him
Yes, a great option and will likely get high points in the first match
Definitely imo - but ofc prone to being subbed by Bakayoko
I personally think this draft is not great. Your attack is way past its prime (Lukaku and Cristiano). Your cc is full of risky bets (Slobo, Kvara and Jorginho), and I’m in awe with how you think your defence line is a strong one. There is a reason if almost nobody heard of Mittelstadt, Tah and De Cuyper before the publication of the Fantasy List and that reason is that they are mediocre players. The fact that they are “a bargain” as they are nailed for starting doesn’t make them stronger.
Tah has been great this season and many have heard of him, but agree with rest
id love to hear your defensive line, and see how many rotational options you have lol
Who do you have on your team?
I think the point is that for defenders, the "most" important isnt their individual skill, but the strength of the team they are playing for. If you find cheap defenders for good teams that you know will be starting its still a strong defence, even though they themself might not be the strongest players. Of course individual skill (assists/goals etc) play a part. But its less predictable, than clean sheets.
This guy is clueless
Gk pickford & costa
Def - TAA, mittlestadt, di marco, tah & faes
Mid- de bruyne, rodri, gundogan, jorginho & fernandes
Str- kane, ronaldo & lukaku
Thoughts?
great team looking back now - at least you don't have Mbappe and the midfield didn't pop but you have moves to make at least.
thoughts on Frimpong?
I think minutes are shaky
