Although the bet365 Free Fantasy Premier League game may have ended (although my cash prize has yet to hit my account), bet365 has quickly offered fans a replacement! That is the bet365 Free Fantasy Euro game now available at bet365 Fantasy.
Get ready for a showdown! The bet365 Free Fantasy Euro 2024 game, as the name suggests, is all about the upcoming European Championships 2024. This high-stakes tournament, to be held in Germany from June to July, will see 24 of Europe’s top teams battling it out for the title of European Champions.
The linked article on our sister site explains how to play bet365 Free Fantasy Euro, so I will not repeat that here.
Instead, I am going to assume you are a regular fantasy football player or are familiar with the game. Then, I am going to give you a list of players in each of the positions. Some will be expensive picks, others will be middle-of-the-road selections, and finally, some could be bargain picks.
The sole focus of this is to provide you with a guide to help you pick the best possible initial squad for the tournament, giving you a solid foundation for performing well in the game.
There are 15,000 prizes on offer, including a top prize of £20,000, right down to a £1 bet credit. With a total prize pool of £100,000 there’s plenty of scope to win a prize.
Remember, too, that you have several free transfers you can use across all seven Gameweeks. And then there is that all-important Wildcard, which will allow you to make limitless changes to your squad for one week only.
All you need to play is a bet365 account, so if you have not yet signed up and claimed some bet365 credits, now is a great time to do so. It doesn’t matter if you sign up through bet365 Sport, bet365 Games or any other site, all bet365 accounts are eligible for the fantasy games. Just remember, you will get different Welcome Bonuses depending on the site you join.

Bet365 Free Fantasy Euro 2024 – Squad Selection Parameters
You must follow some rules when selecting your 15-player squad for the bet365 Free Fantasy Euro game. I have outlined the key regulations for squad selection below.
- You cannot exceed the £100m budget for your squad.
- Your squad must consist of 15 players. 11 will be selected as starters, and four will be substitutes (and not eligible to score points).
- You cannot pick more than three players from any one team for the first three Gameweeks of the tournament. (The number of players you can choose from one team increases as the tournament progresses and fewer teams remain in the competition).
- You must pick two goalkeepers, three defenders, two midfielders and an attacker. However, after that, your squad can be comprised how you see fit, provided you can put out a legal 11-man team.
- Remember, you have the Wildcard and Free Transfers available to make changes to your squad over the seven Gameweeks.
- You must also appoint a captain, who will score double points for your team. A vice-captain is appointed and will score double points if your captain does not start the game for his country in that Gameweek.
Now, we are going to move on to selecting your initial squad. Below are some of the best options to consider in the four positions required for your fantasy team. Goalkeeper, Defenders, Midfielders and Forwards.
I have also listed some possible alternatives to consider in each of the three categories, the most expensive players, the middle of the road options and lastly, the bargain buys who could provide more points for their pound than expected!
We’re starting our look through the options at the goalkeeper position.
We list each player’s name, national team, and value at the start of the bet365 Free Fantasy Euro game.
