EURO U21 2015 Scouting/Team Guide/Info

[MoSe]

Now, I have replaced Bardi with Sà with the WC
but I kept Kubek over Busk as 4.0m GK (can't recall why maybe as posted by someone else too, I expected Serbia to comeback vs Danes?)

now I find myself with Kubek 4p to sacrifice if I wanna bring in the planned Sà...
(had I got Busk 7p, I'd have kept him on field of course, but 4p...)

[Stemania]

Belotti (Berardi) 1-0

[Stemania]

Benassi (Crisetig) 2-0.

Horrible, horrible defending. Chabalah is not a footballer.

[Tacalabala]

and 2-0 now, Benassi though possibly an OG. Christ, how can England be this bad?

[MoSe]

I switched Berardi to Belotti, but at last minute decided to captain Guerreiro...

Now both Portugal and Sweden get qualified with a draw... I figure they won't take any risk...

[Stemania]

Bloody 'ell - Ilori off injured for Portugal, it's not my tournament. He replaced my other injured-in-game 4m defender.

[Tacalabala]

Lol, David James is such an idiot.

[liquidfootball2]

Lol, David James is such an idiot.

Agree, only Robbie Savage even comes close

[Tacalabala]

Actually needs shooting, both of them. God hope us when they start doing the CL.

If this is the shape of things to come, there is every chance England won't even qualify for 2022, let alone boycott it.

And number 3...

[MoSe]

And now keep calm and Pacience... :knockknockknock:

[MoSe]

Bloody hell
Portugal didn't concede... So far

just as Swe-Den did in Euro 2004
rigged match

and Redmond uselessly scores

[Tacalabala]

1-1 now, feel bad for you and your countrymen, totally outplayed us.

[Tacalabala]

[MoSe]

I wouldn't say "totally" nor "outplayed"...
You got some good chances too

anyway, the poorest team of the tournament qualify
and it's totally Italy's fault, we lost intensity and concentration when ee had the easiest of victories in our hans, one man up
it's ridiculous that sweden will take part in olimpics too, what an undeserved gift

[MoSe]

Saturdy begins with Portugal vs Germany, which lineups we'll know before deadline
as for the second match Denmark vs Sweden, we'll have to guess... but that will be easier: SIX Danes

[Stemania]

I've seen more competitive finishes to games than the end of Portugal Sweden...

[MoSe]

These two will meet again in the final.

England has the potential to improve, but if they go on playing that way, I doubt they'll even qualify. Same as Italy

Mind, I still do expect England to thrash Sweden
But then we'll have to contend last spot in last match, and we'll both go out....

YOU HAD READ IT ALL FIRST HERE ON FISO!

[MoSe]

just as Swe-Den did in Euro 2004

for those who might have missed the reference
http://www.theguardian.com/football/blo ... enmark-2-2

swedes equalised at 89' there too, it was vs Denmark and it was in Portugal

• (both Swe and Den teams who drew to eliminate Italy, went then out in QF)

now it was vs Portugal, and Sweden will meet Denmark in the semi

• (will both Swe and Por teams who drew to eliminate Italy, go out in semis too?)

I remember I was so sure of it in 2004 that I had resolved to bet 500 € on the exact 2-2 result... but as I had never bet before, I found out that setting up an account required too much of a hassle here, and bottled it at last minute.
IIRC the odds were something like 5, if not even 10...

[Tacalabala]

Mo is 12pts off the top, not sure he do it now without a brilliant captaincy pick.

[Mo Bot]

Mo is 12pts off the top, not sure he do it now without a brilliant captaincy pick.

Not 100% sure of my picks yet but I feel that leaving it to the final will be too late as all the teams will be lumped on one side or the other. My current thoughts are to have a chunky Danish block defence and Danish strikers with German midfielders.

Portugal have been fairly tight at the back but have struggled for goals. Germany don't look that strong at the back but have a decent goal threat. My guess for that game is 1-1 which doesn't bode well for fantasy points.

Denmark should have enough for a 2 or 3 goal win. My worry is that they relax and let in a block-busting consolation goal.

the thing is who from denmark for me

MoBot do you mean all 3 Danish strikers, not Volland+2*Danes?

As I already have Volland+Poulsen from QF, I think I'll just have to choose a 2nd Dane as 3rd striker

UEFA U21 2015 - DEN strikers for SEMI.gif

MD1 v CZE: Poulsen + Falk + Fischer/Sisto
MD2 v GER: Poulsen/Bech + Brock + Sisto/Fischer
MD3 v SRB: Poulsen + Falk + Fischer

Problem is, we will NOT get to know Den-Swe lineups before the deadline

• Poulsen looks like to be the only nailed-on one, but he's the only one who failed to score (twice vs Serbia he missed by an inch to meet the ball in front of the goal)
  Falk played 2 full games, can't recall now why he sat out v Germany
  Fischer played all 3 and scored v Serbia, but you see how few minutes he played

Barring the "experiments" vs feared Germany, the "default" fronline looks like to be Poulsen+Falk+Fischer,
of course this is a KO now so if desperate or in case of ET there's a good chance even a bencher could come in

[MoSe]

Picking which German Midfielders would be another nightmare too, but luckily there the lineups will be out in advance

[Mo Bot]

Good info as always Mose.

I'm thinking along the lines of this.

[MoSe]

[fred1266]

[MoSe]

FRAK!
the site didn't keep me logged in, and now it doesnt leave me login again
I can't even check whether Im recalling the pwd wrong, as I registered with my work mailbox, which I chose to not access from my mobile ( didn't want work to follow me off-hours)

So I had my changes ready yesterday, but I wanted to wait the lineups today... and now no transfers for me in the semis
I wondercwhetger it will keep my XI and Captain from MD3 start (Volland) or the changes I made with manual subs (Guerreiro)

Oh well, I was doing shite anyway....

[robot]

I struggled getting more than 4 players from 1 team,it still had an x by players that I should of been able to pick but randomnly not all players from said team.
It worked after resetting team and trying again but had to do this again when it didnt work with the second transfer!

[Ashers]

It kept my orginial captain when I made a manual change in round two.
