Fantasy Football Euro 2024: Your Comprehensive Guide
The Premier League season might be over, but the football excitement continues with Euro 2024! Get ready to immerse yourself in the thrill of Fantasy Football Euro 2024. Whether you’re a seasoned fantasy manager or a complete beginner, this guide provides everything you need to know to dominate your mini-leagues. From team creation and transfers to understanding the scoring system and utilizing powerful chips, we’ll cover it all.
Setting Up Your Euro 2024 Fantasy Football Team
Before you can start picking your dream team, you need to set up your account. Head to the official UEFA website (www.uefa.com/euro2024) and either log in with your existing account or create a new one for free. Navigate to the “Gaming” tab, select “Fantasy Football,” and you’ll be presented with a blank team template, ready for you to fill.
Building Your Fantasy Football Euro 2024 Squad
You have a €100 million budget to build your 15-player squad (increasing to €105 million from the Round of 16 onwards). Your squad must consist of 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders, and 3 forwards.
Be mindful of player limits per country:
- Group Stage: Maximum 3 players per country.
- Round of 16: Maximum 4 players per country.
- Quarter-Finals: Maximum 5 players per country.
- Semi-Finals: Maximum 6 players per country.
- Final: Maximum 8 players per country.
Managing Your Fantasy Football Euro 2024 Team
Deadlines and Automatic Substitutions: Save your team before each matchday’s deadline (the first kickoff). If a starter doesn’t play, an automatic substitution from your bench will occur if the formation remains valid. You can choose any formation, as long as you have at least 1 goalkeeper, 3 defenders, 2 midfielders, and 1 forward on the field.
Captain Selection: Your captain’s points are doubled for that matchday. You have a one-time opportunity to switch your captain to another player playing later in the matchday. Choose wisely, as a non-playing captain won’t earn double points, even with automatic substitutions.
Navigating Fantasy Football Euro 2024 Transfers
Pre-Tournament: Unlimited free transfers are available before the tournament begins.
Group Stage: You get 2 free transfers per matchday, with unused transfers carrying over only once. Wildcard and Limitless chips will eliminate any unused free transfers.
Knockout Stage:
- Round of 16: Unlimited free transfers.
- Quarter-Finals: 3 free transfers.
- Semi-Finals: 4 free transfers.

Utilizing Fantasy Football Euro 2024 Chips: Wildcard and Limitless
Wildcard: Allows unlimited free transfers before a matchday deadline, ideal for overhauling your squad.
Limitless: For one matchday, enjoy unlimited free transfers and an unlimited budget. However, this chip resets your squad to its pre-matchday state after the matchday concludes, nullifying any prior transfers (including points deductions).
