I think my luck continues to be bad. Rudiger got a poor rating for his own goal. Rodri got a poor rating because he was alleged to have conceded the penalty and got a yellow card for it. Now Di Marco literally set up Albania for their goal with that poor throw in. These are all supposedly very good players who have had bad ratings because of one poor incident in the games they've played.

It's not really points based on how well they've done in a game (like a performance rating). It's more for involvements or events in games. 

Di Marco's current 2 pts are not due to him setting up a goal for Albania. 

Done on the first line @RandoEFC

Lovely hit from Barella. 

Bastoni header equalises for Italy! 

what the fuck is Di Marco doing?!

Petkovic tripped himself up it looked like.

Which would equate to a dive. 

Amazed it was given/confirmed by VAR. 

Justice perhaps done as Croatia score after Petkovic misses the penalty, but there was encroachment. 

That looks like a huge dive. 

Croatia should score. 

Wow, Spain cruising now. 

Go on Spain. Coolly taken from Morata. 

Szoboszlai has come alive and created a goal for Varga. Aebischer lost his man and wasn't strong enough. 

Xhaka making everything tick for Switzerland. 

Szoboszlai has to take that first time?! Why's he taking an extra touch? 

Nice from Aebischer. Hungary were just backing off for ages. 

Vargas shot saved. Should be 2 up after Kerkez's mistake. 

That's onside. 1-0 to the Swiss! 

Hungary should have done better with that counter.

Yeah, that's what I thought, thanks for confirming. But for me for example, Rudiger with his own goal yesterday, didn't get many points. Can I instead of subbing him out, transfer him out of my team and buy a defender who is playing today to replace him for example? If so, how can I sell him and buy a player/transfer into my team? I am able to substitute players in and out of my team from the bench/reserves, but how do I buy new players and sell Rudiger?

Think you can buy new players but not have them straight into your team. They'll only be active and available from the next matchday. 

Very sad he's passed away relatively young. Had a good loan spell at Leicester one time. RIP.

It's highly unlikely that only 1 win is enough to get you out of a group. Especially with Scotland, seeing as they have a terrible goal difference now, because they got trounced 5-1 by Germany yesterday. Even Scotland manager Clarke said after the defeat, the target is to get at least 4 points. So that's a win and a draw in their remaining matches. 

It's more likely than in previous tournaments. Also head to head with the team you're level with is the tie-breaker as opposed to goal difference.

How are the points calculated then? The players have to be in your team, before the match in which they earn points, in order for you to benefit from those points, right?

Correct. In your first XI, not your subs. 

For example I had McTominay and Mittelstsdt in my team. They earned total of 6pts. 

I've subbed McTominay for someone else. And therefore sacrificed 3pts in the hope the new player subbed in scores more.

How much do you guys spend on betting?

Apparently fell ill and died while in Montenegro

Gunn is crap, there's no denying it.
