Planet FPL - The Fantasy Football Podcast

Clayton and James conclude their coverage of the last 16 at The European Championship with discussion on last night's games and how Matchday 4 concluded in Euro Fantasy, and for James that included a Cody Gakpo captaincy haul. Will Wildcards now be activated or not?

The Netherlands were dominant in beating Romania and in pouring rain in Leipzig well fancied Austria were beaten by Turkey. There's tactical detail on both last night's victors and if others should fear them later in the tournament. Or do they need to find another gear to win this tournament?

Plus, there's reflection on just why many really enjoyed last night's later game despite technical qualities being short of some other nations and there's an overview of the final 8.

Clayton and James discuss Monday at The Euros as favourites France and Portugal made it through to the quarter finals and despite the two games not being thrillers there's lots to unpack ahead of the meeting between the two on Friday evening.

There's detail on an intriguing tactical battle as France saw off Belgium but The French aren't inspiring, from their 3 goals scored at the tournament two have been own goals and the other penalty.

And Portugal aren't inspiring either, they were taken to penalties by a spirited Slovenia in a match dominated by Cristiano Ronaldo missing chances, but ultimately decided by the brilliance of goalkeeper Diogo Costa

Clayton and James discuss the 4 games played at the weekend in The Euros which included England's dramatic victory against Slovakia where The Three Lions were only seconds away from elimination before Jude Bellingham's incredible equaliser.

Did England deserve their victory? What went well, what didn't and will England likely change anything for Saturday's quarter final with Switzerland?

There's discussion on the strengths of The Swiss following their excellent victory against a bad Italy and there's also a review of Germany and Spain's victories.

Plus, how the Euro Fantasy weekend went and James might be holding off from Wildcarding this week.

England are Taking The Mikautadze. First they land on the softer side of the draw avoiding France, Germany, Portugal and Spain and then yesterday the Belgians decided they didn't want to be there either and with England left with the potential of The Netherlands or Slovakia in the last 16, Georgia's stunning victory against a heavily rotated Portugal meant another 'so-called' easier tie for The Three Lions.

It couldn't hardly have landed better for England to have a real go at reaching another final. But what can they expect from Slovakia, who remember, have already shocked Belgium in this tournament?

Clayton and James review yesterday's four games including Belgium disappointing again, The Czechs unfortunate exit, Turkey's chances against well fancied Austria and Georgia's historic qualification.

Plus, first thoughts for Euro Fantasy and the Last 16 and a review of how Clayton and James did on Limitless in Matchday 3.

Clayton and James discuss the conclusion of Groups C and D at The Euros and it's job done for England, Group Winners and on to the so-called easier side of the draw. But once again the performance and result disappointed.

There's discussion on the good and the bad from The Three Lions latest showing, if Denmark can trouble Germany on Saturday, how France performed against Poland which means a challenging path to the trophy, and dark horses Austria impressed again with a 3-2 victory against The Netherlands in Berlin.

Plus, is it now The Netherlands on Sunday for England? James details the permutations for the third place finishers and there's the latest for Euro Fantasy including another Lukaku v Ronaldo captaincy debate for those who have missed with the armband so far.

Clayton joins James to discuss the latest for Euro Fantasy and last night's conclusion to Group B as Spain's second string team beat Albania and Croatia are nearly out after Italy scored a 98th minute equaliser which means a possible end to Luka Modric's International career.

And in the second half of the Podcast there's discussion on England and the intel suggests it will be one change with Connor Gallagher replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold. There's reaction to the news, what Clayton and James would do, a look ahead, knowing that irrespective of the result tonight, England are through to the last 16, but how important is it that they win the Group?

With Suj travelling through France on the way to Portugal, and Clayton partying in Czechia, James brings a European flavour to the Podcast as he's joined by Calin Mates to discuss his pride in Romania's performances so far, the view on England from afar and to review the 8 games played ay The Euros from Friday through to last night's Group A conclusion.

The Podcast includes discussion on the 2nd matchdays played in Groups D, E and F which included Portugal and Cristiano clinching top spot, France drawing with The Netherlands after Austria had impressed in Group D and Group E hangs in the balance with all 4 teams level on 3 points after Belgium's victory against Calin's Romania.

Scotland's dreams of qualification are over after a late late defeat to Hungary and Germany left it late too, clinching top spot with a draw against Switzerland.

Plus, there's discussion on the outside view of England, how they're performing and expectations, which also leads into debates on the quality of international managers/coaches and media criticism.

Many England fans would have been ready for this, a sub-par performance and points dropped in the Group. So why does it still feel so bad!?

Suj and James discuss being here before but why yesterday's draw with Denmark feels worse for England than previous draws at major tournaments, and there's search for how to fix the clear problems The Three Lions are having.

It didn't help that England's showing was followed by Spain putting in a super performance against reigning Champions Italy either.

Yesterday's games covered and Suj may be getting his revenge on James in Euro Fantasy.

Scotland fan and EFL Fantasy Podcast co-host Angus McPhail joins James to discuss Day 1 of Matchday 2 at The European Championship which included a much improved Scotland claiming a draw with Switzerland that leave them with qualification to the knockout stage in their hands.

There's discussion on Scotland's performance, the change in tactics from Friday's dismal showing and what it would mean for them to qualify from a major tournament Group Stage for the first time.

There's also coverage from the other game in the group and it's become clearer which German assets are the one's to get in Fantasy for the knockout stage and Croatia have it all to do to qualify following their 2-2 draw with Albania.
