1. FPL Teach Mode- Andy(@fplmode):
Andy is a avid football fan and a great FPL manager. To add to it, he is a FFScout Pro Pundit and DraftGym TV host.
Andy’s Team Reveal:
Subject to change. I’ve gone big chasing points in the first week as I’ll be using the limitless chip in MD2 and most likely using my WC in MD3. The three premium striker haven’t left my thoughts and I feel I should have a solid foundation of points with those three in my team. Double Italy defence will be popular but I back them to repay my faith. Zielinski is someone I’m very high on and the first fixture against Slovakia should lead to attacking returns. Denmark and Austria have tasty fixture in the first week and finish off my team.
Euro Fantasy Tips from Andy:
1. Go big and don’t be scared to use chips early on. A solid start can be crucial in a shorter tournament.
2. When using your chips, remember to stack players on teams who have nice fixtures. Don’t spread the risk
3. MD3 could be mayhem with rotation. Ease your expectations for this MD.

WTGA Tom’s Team Reveal:
Tips from WTGA Tom for Euro Fantasy:
General things to look at for me:
1. High number of less fantasy football fluent players (e.g. Kante being highly owned) so lots of gains to be made through research.
2. We all know less about Euro Fantasy than FPL, so make sure you do your homework.
3. Lots of players have different, talismanic roles for their national teams than for their clubs (Zinchenko and Eriksen come to mind) so make sure you note that in your thinking.
4. Qualifiers and friendlies are great but don’t overestimate their impact as a predictor of future performance. For many teams, they aren’t the same playing field as Euro games. As an analogy, treat them as friendlies prior to the real season in FPL parlance.
5. Have fun. Boring and obvious, but it was a long and arduous FPL season and this should be the time for you to blow off some steam and enjoy fantasy as a game – accordingly things like using limitless in MD2 and wildcard in MD3 knowing that MD4 offers you a further proxy wildcard should be both borne in mind and enjoyed as a different experience to the FPL season which is more about longevity.

3. FPL Goat(@FPLGOAT7)
FPL Goat is a great manager and a very well respected guy in the community for his tips and interactions. He has had a great FPL history with consistent finishes in the top tier. Here are his tips for the season and the Matchday 1 Team Reveal:
FPL GOAT’s Team Reveal:
I’m Pretty much set on my forward line with Lukaku and Depay showing pre season form and Ronaldo facing a leaky Hungary in Matchday 1. I’m a big fan of Ferran Torres for Spain so he was my very first name in the team. Eriksen being the chief creator for Denmark and is on all set pieces. David Alaba is a cheap option as a winger for his nation. I’m not set on Jorginho and Berardi but both being 6m offers a lot of value as Jorginho will be on penalties as well. I wanted to go very budget on my defense so there’s only 1 DEF costing more than €4.5m which is Spinazzola who might change to Bonucci later on. Goalkeepers are pretty straightforward as i didn’t wanted to spend more than 9m on them.
FPL GOAT’s Tips as to how one should set their team up:
1. Make sure you got all 15 players who are playable and not just fodders.
2. Plan your transfers/team according to how you are gonna play your chips.
3. We can change Captains every day so make sure you choose 3/4 players who are captain options for each day of every Matchday.
4. Each MATCHDAY will be 4/5 days long so make sure you don’t rush and make your transfers too early.

4. FPL Banger- Fantasy Premier League Podcast(@FPL_Banger):
FPL Banger Podcast courtesy, Sam and Siva are one of the best upcoming Podcasts about Fantasy Football where they analyze the best FPL picks weekly and posts amazing threads on Twitter. Check out their Team Reveal for Euro Fantasy below:
FPL Banger’s Euro Fantasy Team Reveal:
The front 3 pick themselves. 3 proven goal scorers, all talisman. I’ve then selected midfielders who actually play as forwards/wingers (Berardi, Carrasco, Torres) or have pens & set pieces (Eriksen). Llorente is the exception, but is the only viable £5m option and has assist potential as seen recently v Portugal. In defence I’ve gone for solid value picks as well as 2 punts in Rodriguez & Alioski, who are the only defenders at the tournament expected to be on penalties. My possible Captains across the 5 days of MD1 will be: Berardi, Lukaku, Depay, Torres & Ronaldo.
Euro Fantasy Tips for Managers- FPL Banger
1. Have a full playing squad if possible. The ability to make manual subs cannot be overstated and no matter how confident you are that every player in your starting XI will haul, international tournaments always deliver upsets, from France v Senegal in 2002 to England v Iceland in 2016. Subs help you to try and adjust your teams.
2. Aim to have talismen like Kane & Ronaldo who are likely to play 90 min. UEFA have announced that teams are allowed to make 5 subs. You can expect managers to take full advantage, and certain players like Diogo Jota and Phil Foden who are more prone to being subbed off may not cover Ronaldo and Kane.
3. Don’t be swayed by ownership/chasing differentials etc. This one may seem obvious but just go with the players you think will score the most. I’m already seeing people complain about a Twitter template / Twitter traps etc. Ignore all of it, just do you. Good luck!

FPL Architect Team Reveal for Euro Fantasy:
Euro Fantasy Tips and Strategy – FPL Architect:
As I plan to play all my chips in the group stage, I have only targeted the Matchday 1 fixtures in my current draft. I’m going heavy on Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands as I see their fixtures as the best to target this week. I also have several good captaincy options on different days, such as Insigne, Lukaku, Depay, and Ronaldo. My Italian duo might change as we get the lineup on Friday, I will only keep them if they start, but apart from that, I’m pretty settled.
One short tip for you all: Make sure that your goalkeepers don’t play on the same day, it ruins the point of being able to change GK during the matchday. It’s a small thing but easy to forget.

6. FPL Cheetah(@FPL_Cheetah):
FPL Cheetah is a Manchester City fan and one of the nicest guys offering FPL tips to managers on Twitter. Check out his Team Reveal below:
FPL Cheetah Team Reveal:
I tried building my team with the cheap (4.5m) defenders. I think teams like Austria and Denmark having one of the CS odds help this course. Then going strong in attack. I tried to have a decent captain option across all the days.
FPL Cheetah’s Tip for Fantasy Managers:
Avoid bench fodders and spread funds across the whole 15 man squad. Have decent captain options across all the days and don’t forget to arrange starting 11 with players with the earliest games so you can sub out if they blank.

7. Linn(@Linn_FPL):
Linn is a Liverpool fan who is very well known in FPL Community for interactions and discussions about Fantasy Football. Check out her team reveal for Euro Fantasy below:
Linn’s Team Reveal:
FPL Linn’s Strategy and Tips for Managers:
Can’t go without the big hitters, so a strong forward line is a must! Had to put a Swede in and wish I could have had Forsberg or Augustinsson but Danielson at 4.5 is just too good value.
If you like me plan to use Unlimited in MD2 try to set up your team so it looks decent in MD3 as well as MD1, that way you can potentially save the WC for the Quarterfinals! Good luck all, and may Sweden rock n’ roll.

FPL Differential King Team Reveal for Euro Fantasy:
I’m trying to get off to a massive start for the Euros I’ve gone with a few differential moves in my team with the likes of B.Silva,Che Adams and triple Denmark defence! A tip I’d advice for the other managers is to try your best to field out 15 starting players with good amount of chance they return points.
