The EURO 2020 Fantasy tournament starts again today. Are you excited?

Our algorithm team has not been doing too good. We had 65 points in Matchday 1, 29 in Matchday 2, and 49 in Matchday 3. With 143 points, we are 25th in our Sweep Sports Analytics league. Worldwide we are in position 944,316 out of over 3.5 million teams, around the top 25%. Not as good as we wanted to.

You can have a look at the projections and probabilities by going to this Google Sheets Link. You can download or copy the file and use it as you like. I noticed that the source of the projected lineups has a few errors here and there with some players. Nevertheless, the probabilities are valid. The sheet gives you a pretty good idea of what is expected to happen.
