Euro 2020 Fantasy Team of the Tournament

An exhilarating Euro 2020 tournament has come to an end, it was brilliant football all around with some marvellous performances such as Kevin De Bruyne’s individual heroics off the bench against Denmark and Italy’s massive team effort to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against hosts England in the finals. The tournament had plenty of drama and many games came down to the penalty shootouts because there was nothing to separate the favourites and the underdogs who fought tooth and nail in hopes of securing footballing glory for their national sides.

Even if your team did not win the ultimate prize European football has to offer, we hope that you had a great tournament fantasy-wise and that you enjoyed our coverage for the competition. For our final article on the Euros, we will be looking at the Euro Fantasy team of the tournament. Thank you so much for the support and we will be back once the short break ends. Till then, take care and goodbye!


Forwards

 

Patrik Schick

Goals: 5

Points: 33

Schick is probably the most surprising inclusion in the team of the tournament as he came off a less than impressive season with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga but he proved his critics wrong and won the silver boot for his five goals in five games for the Czech Republic resulting in 33 points as he led his country to the quarter-finals where they lost to Denmark.

 

Cristiano Ronaldo

Goals: 5

Assists: 1

Points: 31

Ronaldo is another player that faced heavy criticism before the tournament began but the 36-year-old exhibited his class by scoring five goals and assisting one to win the Euro 2020 golden boot despite playing just four games against some of the toughest teams in the tournament. He even equalled Ali Daei’s record for the most international goals in men’s football with his 109th goal for Portugal but still couldn’t lead his team past the Round of 16 as the defending champions had to exit the tournament early after a 1-0 loss to the #1 ranked team in the world – Belgium.

 

Harry Kane

Goals: 4

Points: 28

Kane was touted as an early contender for the Euro golden boot and there was an expectation that he would add it to his already impressive resume that consists of the World Cup 2018 golden boot and three Premier League golden boots that he won with Tottenham Hotspur. He did not have the best start after failing to score in the group stages, however, but discovered some of his old form in the knockout phase, scoring four goals and finishing as the leading goal-scorer for runners-up England in the tournament.

 

Honourable mentions: Romelu Lukaku (26), Karim Benzema (24) and Ciro Immobile (23)





Midfielders

 

Raheem Sterling

Goals: 3

Assists: 1

Points: 39

Sterling’s inclusion to the XI against Croatia on matchday one was met by strong disapproval but he scored the winning goal in that game and was England’s standout player throughout the tournament registering three goals and an assist to his name. He filled in for Harry Kane in the group stages by scoring the only two goals England had in their first three matches and also scored the opening goal against Germany in the Round of 16. Sterling finished as the highest-scoring midfielder in fantasy with 39 points to his name.

 

Emil Forsberg

Goals: 4

Points: 30

Forsberg was Sweden’s most dangerous player throughout the tournament as they topped their group without losing a single game over favourites Spain in a bracket that also included the likes of Slovakia and Poland. He was a surprise contender for the golden boot with four goals to his name but his challenge for the top-scorer was cut short by a loss against Ukraine in the quarter-finals.

 

 

Xherdan Shaqiri

Goals: 3

Assists: 1

Points: 30

“The magic dwarf” put on a show in the Euros with his three goals and one assist in Switzerland’s journey to the quarter-finals that also included an upset win against world champions France. He was the ultimate differential midfielder in fantasy as he mostly went under the radar and put in his best performances in the tournament when it mattered the most, demonstrating his explosiveness on the big stage.

 

Honourable mentions: Andriy Yarmolenko (26), Lorenzo Insigne (26), and Georginio Wijnaldum (25)


Defenders

 

Luke Shaw

Goals: 1

Assists: 3

Clean sheets: 4

Points: 43

Few would’ve expected Shaw to be the highest-scoring player in fantasy for the tournament but he was absolutely brilliant and did not put a foot wrong even once. He blanked in just one of the six games that he played and was fantastic on both ends of the pitch registering a goal in the final and three assists overall to go along with his four clean sheets for 43 points. Shaw rests his case on why he is one of the best left-backs in the world and the comparisons to legendary Brazilian left-back Roberto Carlos make total sense. FPL managers will definitely be excited to own “Shawberto Carlos” in fantasy again as he is playing the best football he has played in his career so far.

 

John Stones

Clean sheets: 5

Points: 34

John Stones was a rock at the back for England as they kept consecutive clean sheets in their first five games of the tournament, only conceding a free-kick in the semi-finals against Denmark and their first goal conceded from open play came in the finals versus Italy.

 

Joakim Mæhle

Goals: 2

Assists: 1

Clean sheets: 1

Points: 28

Mæhle was a real fan favourite during the Euros displaying incredible finesse and skill at times. He finished as the third highest-scoring defender in Euro Fantasy despite keeping just one clean sheet in the entire competition against Wales. Mæhle was part of a special Denmark team that despite losing their best player Eriksen, showed incredible grit and courage to make it to the semi-finals where they lost to England in AET.

 

Thomas Meunier

Goals: 2

Assists: 1

Clean sheets: 2

Points: 28

Meunier was not even expected to be a mainstay in the Belgian starting XI, let alone secure a spot in the fantasy team of the tournament. Due to Castagne’s injury in the first 15 minutes on matchday one, Meunier was presented an opportunity to prove himself again after a disappointing campaign with Borussia Dortmund and he took the opportunity with both hands. He had a fantastic tournament, displaying glimpses of his old self at PSG and registered two goals and an assist to go along with two clean sheets against Russia and Portugal, finishing on 28 points along with Kyle Walker.

 

Honourable mentions: Kyle Walker (28), Harry Maguire (25), Leonardo Bonucci (25) and Jordi Alba (23)





Goalkeeper

 

Jordan Pickford

Clean sheets: 5

Points: 36

Pickford was part of the England team that conceded the least goals in the entire tournament with just two and was one of the best keepers throughout the tournament, making brilliant saves to go along with his clean record. There was no one else that deserved the golden glove award more than Pickford but unfortunately, the Euros does not have one.

 

Honourable mentions: Gianluigi Donnarumma (27), Kasper Schmeichel (23) and Thibaut Courtouis (23)

GAFFR Fantasy Championship Guide: How to Play, Rules and Tips to Get You Started

GAFFR.io – the EFL Championship Fantasy Manager Game that revolves around the second division of English football is back for season two and we have created a guide that includes how to play the game, rules and tips to get you started.


GAFFR Fantasy Rules and Substitutions

In GAFFR, you will have a squad of 15 players in your team with one free transfer each week to replace any player in your squad with a player who plays in the same position within the budget constraints.

Breakdown of your 15 man squad:

  • 2 Goalkeepers
  • 5 Defenders
  • 5 Midfielders
  • 3 Forwards

You will have a bank balance of 100 million to spend on your virtual squad and the maximum number of players you can select from each team has been set to three.

Formations

For each gameweek, you must have one starting keeper and 10 outfield players. You can choose any formation, as long as you’ve picked one goalkeeper, at least three defenders, at least two midfielders and at least one forward in your starting XI. Formations can also be changed midweek as you make substitutions. The valid formations in the game are:

  • 3-4-3
  • 3-5-2
  • 4-4-2
  • 4-5-1
  • 5-2-3
  • 5-3-2
  • 5-4-1

Price Changes

Price changes depend on a player’s performance, so it directly affects whether his price will rise or fall. The price changes will take place on the day after the final match of the gameweek. For example, if the last match of a gameweek is on a Saturday, the changes will occur on Tuesday morning around 3 AM (presumably GMT).


GAFFR Fantasy Transfers

Fantasy managers will have unlimited transfers until the first matchday begins on Saturday, 7th August 2021 and after this, you can make one free transfer each week. If a player you transfer in costs less than the player you transferred out, the balance amount will be credited to your bank.

Transfers will be carry forwarded to the next week as long as you don’t use all the available transfers in the gameweek but you can never have more than two free transfers a week which is the limit unless you are playing a boost.

There is no limit on the number of transfers you can make each matchday but every additional transfer beyond the free transfers available will incur a hit of -4 points from your score in the next gameweek.


 




GAFFR Fantasy Captains

Gaffr.io is the only Fantasy Manager game that lets you have three captains instead of the usual one or two. You have an emergency captain along with your main captain and the vice-captain.

Captain

Your captain will double his points if he plays during the matchday.

Vice-Captain

A vice-captain’s points are multiplied by 1.5x each week and it is rounded if the result is not a whole number. For example, A vice-captain who scores 5 would finish on 7 after the multiplier has been added.

Emergency Captain

An emergency captain comes in if your captain or vice-captain if either does not play a single minute during the matchday. The multiplier here depends on which captain does not play. For example: if your captain does not play then the emergency captain’s points will be multiplied by 2x or multiplied by 1.5x if the vice-captain does not play. The captain’s role is prioritised here and if an emergency captain receives double points then there will be no vice-captain.


GAFFR Fantasy Substitutions

Substitutions in GAFFR work similarly to FPL. You can set the order of the bench and if a player does not play a single minute in your starting XI, you will get the player off the bench according to the priority you have set from left to right or a player in a similar position and maintains a valid formation.

For example, if you’re playing a 4-5-1 formation and your forward does not play, he can only be replaced by another forward on the bench according to the order of the bench to maintain a valid formation. Whereas if your formation is the same and a midfielder does not play, you will get a defender or a forward off the bench and the formation will change to a 5-4-1 or 4-4-2.

Tip: It is best to have starting players on your bench instead of scrubs that barely see any minutes so that you can have 11 players for a matchday in case there are any postponements, injuries or other issues. It will also help you capitalize on double gameweeks with additional players who might start multiple games.


GAFFR Fantasy Boosts

Gaffr Fantasy has multiple boosts or chips that are unique and give you various opportunities throughout the season to get an edge over your opponent or to close the gap between your mini-league rivals. There is a pool of six boosts in total and you can choose any three that suits you best at any time but you can only play one boost per round.

The tournament is divided into three phases and you will have three boosts per phase (nine in total) that will refresh every 15 gameweeks to play across the season.

  • Gameweeks 1 – 15
  • Gameweeks 16 – 30
  • Gameweeks 31 – 46

Not every pool will have the same boosts so you cannot play the multi captain and overhaul boosts more than twice in a season.

Overhaul

You can make unlimited transfers to your squad within the limitations of your budget similar to a wildcard. The changes made to your squad are permanent and your team will not revert back to your pre-overhaul squad the next gameweek.

Super Subs

The points scored by the players on your bench including the goalkeeper will be counted to your total for the gameweek just like a bench boost.

Captain Fantastic

Your captain’s score will be tripled and your vice-captain’s score doubled but the same emergency captain rules will apply.

Park the Bus

As the name suggests, this chip is meant for defenders and the points for all the defenders in your XI will be doubled. The only catch is that you won’t have any captains if you activate this boost so use it wisely.

Midfield Generals

The points for all your midfielders will be multiplied by 1.5x and rounded. No captain multiplier will be applied for any player or position similar to the “Park the Bus” boost.

Multi Captain

Your captain, vice-captain and emergency captain’s points will be doubled.

Optimal Captain

The highest-scoring players in your starting XI will be selected as the optimal captains (captain, vice-captain and emergency captain according to the points scored) and their points will be multiplied accordingly. Only players in the starting XI are included.

Goalfest

Every goal scored by a player in your starting XI adds another five points to your total score for the week. This includes penalties and goals scored by substitutes that come off the bench when a player does not play in your eleven. Captain multipliers do not apply to the five-point bonus.

Midfield Dynamos

Instead of a 1.5x multiplier of the “Midfield Generals” boost, this boost adds a 2x multiplier to all the midfielders in your XI. No captain multipliers are applied for any player or position.

Last Ditch

In this chip, a 3x multiplier will be applied to all your forwards in the starting XI but all your defenders and the goalkeeper will score zero points. No captain multiplier will be applied for any player or position.

Jeepers Keepers

This boost is especially for keepers and activating it will count the scores of both of your keepers to the total in addition to some bonus:

  • +2 points per clean sheet per half.
  • +3 points per save.
  • +10 points per penalty save.

You will have captains if you use this boost but captain multipliers do not apply to the bonus scores.

Tip: This chip might not seem like much at first glance but if played right it can be highly rewarding and it best to use it when both of your keepers are facing tough opposition and are expected to save lots of shots.

Away Day

The points of players in your starting XI who are playing away for the matchday are doubled. No captain multipliers apply to any players.


GAFFR Fantasy Scoring Rules

The game has a performance-based scoring system that rewards bonus points to players for their production on the pitch rather than just awarding points based on goals/assist/clean sheets and penalty saves. The players will score points according to the following table:

ActionGKDEFMIDFWD
Appearance+1+1+1+1
60 Minutes Played+1+1+1+1
Goal (excl. Penalties)+5+5+5+5
Assist+3+3+4+3

Red Card-3-3-3-3
Every 3 Saves+1---
Penalty Saved+5---
*Must play at least 30 minutes in a half to be eligible

*Must play at least 60 minutes in the match to be eligible

GAFFR Fantasy Performance Points (Bonus)

Each player’s performance will be awarded according to the performance points table at the end of the match. The four highest-rated players from each match will receive +4, +3, +2 and +1 points respectively. If there is a tie for bonus points then all the players at that rank will receive the same points at that level. A minimum of four players are awarded performance points from a game. For example, if four players have the same rank/rating then all of them will receive +4 points and no further performance points will be awarded.

PlayerRatingPoints
A10+4
B10+4
C9+3
D8+2
E8+2
F8+2

In this example, there is a tie for the highest rating so players A and B will receive +4. Player C has the second-highest rating and will receive +3. To fulfil the quota of four players minimum who will receive performance points, the next players D, E and F who are tied will receive +2 points each.

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Harry KaneENGvs DEN€11.6M62.5% of England's goals have come off headers, something that the Danish specialize in defending against and while this game might not be as high-scoring as the game against Ukraine since these are two of the best defenses in the tournament so far along with Italy, Kane is still a must-have as he has looked confident over the past couple of games with three goals in his last two matches and England are the big favorites here playing at home.
2Ciro ImmobileITA-ESP€10.2MOut of all the teams that have qualified for the semis, Spain's defense has looked the most vulnerable so I am expecting some goals here and Immobile would probably be the best striker for the week if he wasn't so inconsistent as he hasn't scored since matchday two. He is still pretty much a must-have along with Kane.
3Gerard MorenoESP-ITA€6.9MWhile they had 28 shots against Switzerland but were able to score just once thanks to a heroic display by Sommer, the Spain attack has been in fifth gear ever since the game against Slovakia and Moreno has been their most dangerous forward averaging 3.8 shots and 1 key pass per game but his goal-scoring ability is questionable as he is yet to open his tally even though he has two assists to his name.
4Álvaro MorataESP-ITA€9.1M
5Kasper DolbergDEN@ENG€7.2MHis form is great but the fixture isn't.

1Raheem SterlingENGvs DEN€9.8M4/5 games with returns is enough reason to get him in your team if you haven't already.
2Lorenzo InsigneITA-ESP€8.6M
3Dani OlmoESP-ITA€7.2MIt seems almost impossible to get past Italy's center-back duo of Bonucci and Chiellini but the injury to Spinazzola means that Emerson will replace him who started zero games for Chelsea in the Premier League last season and that opens up a small window of opportunity for Spain to focus their attack via one of Olmo/Moreno/Torres whoever starts on the right wing.
4Federico ChiesaITA-ESP€7.2MAlthough Chiesa plays in a more advanced position and has a better goal-threat, Barella deserves a mention as a boom or bust differential for his one goal and two assists in four matches so far. Veratti has also been putting on his best Xavi impression averaging four key passes per game in the tournament.
5Mikkel DamsgaardDEN@ENG€6.3MIf you don't have Damsgaard then it might not be worth getting him over other midfielders this week as he has a tough game and has been subbed off before 60 minutes in the last two games.

Defenders

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Luke ShawENGvs DEN€6.2MI still find it hard to believe that England are yet to concede a single goal in the tournament but they have proven everyone wrong despite the early scepticism and were the only team to keep a clean sheet in the quarter-finals. This round might be about trying to hoard as many English defenders as you can and hope that their clean record stays the same.
2Alessandro FlorenziITA-ESP€5.9MA right-back coming fresh from an injury layoff and a left-back who only started seven games across all competitions last season might not be the ideal XI if the Italians don't want to concede against Spain.
3Harry MaguireENGvs DEN€5.6MThere will be many hopefuls who would like to see Maguire score from a Shaw free-kick again and I am one of them.
4Jordi AlbaESP-ITA€6.3MAlba has created the most chances from open play in the tournament with 11 but hasn't been helped by the conversion rate of his strikers.
5Joakim MæhleDEN@ENG€4.9MHis attacking talent was on display again with a ridiculous outside-of-the-boot assist to Dolberg but it is tough to imagine that Denmark keep a clean sheet or that Mæhle gets an attacking return against England this week.

Euro 2020 Fantasy Captain Picks Semi-Finals

 

NoDayNameMatchupValueComments
16th JulyLorenzo InsigneITA vs ESP (-)€8.6MAlthough his ceiling has been a bit limited as Insigne has a penchant for only scoring spectacular goals, he has the best underlying stats among all the players in the tournament so far with the best SpG (3.5) + KeyP (2.8). All he needs to do now is to convert those stats into a big return.
Gerard Moreno (D)ESP vs ITA (-)€6.9M
27th JulyLuke ShawENG vs DEN€6.2MA six-pointer is considered good enough for a captain now and Shaw has the potential to keep a clean sheet and get some more with his set-pieces.
Harry Kane (D)ENG vs DEN€11.6MIf you expect England to thrash Denmark as they did against Ukraine then Kane might be the best captaincy option for the week.

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Ciro ImmobileITA-AUT€10MImmobile has averaged five shots per game in the two games he has played so far and with the number of chances he gets, you would expect him to score more goals. He has missed some absolute sitters but Italy are heavy favourites in this game and the Austrian defense has looked shaky at best so the Italians should dominate this game.
2Memphis DepayNED-CZE€10.1MThe Netherlands scored the most goals in the group stages with eight and even though Wijnaldum stole the show with his three goals, Depay is still the most key player in attack and lead the team in shots (3.7) and key passes (1.7) per game. Not to mention that he is on all set-pieces as well which is a plus.
3Kylian MbappéFRA-SWI€12MThe fact that he is yet to open his goal-scoring account concerns me but Mbappé went through a similar phase earlier in UCL this season when he didn't score in the first four games but went on to score eight goals in the next four games. He is due and the game against Switzerland is a good one to cash in.
4Cristiano RonaldoPOR-BEL€12.2MRonaldo has featured in every fantasy team of the week so far despite being in the "group of death" and is the leading goal-scorer with five goals so far and is just one goal away from breaking Ali Daei's all-time men's international goal-scoring record of 109 goals which he will look to break in the game against Belgium. Doubt him at your own risk.
5Romelu LukakuBEL-POR€11.2M*Surprisingly* Portugal conceded the most goals amongst all teams that qualified with six and Lukaku has great odds to score again with KDB and Hazard alongside him but this game isn't as straightforward to predict.
6Antoine GriezmannFRA-SWI€11.1MGriezmann seemed to hand over his penalty to Benzema who scored so there is a question mark over his spot kick duties. I still prefer him over Benzema as they have almost similar xG but Griezmann has a higher xA. But both are worthy options with Benzema being a million cheaper.
7Gerard MorenoESP-CRO€6.6M
8Yussuf PoulsenDEN-WAL€8.2MDenmark were fired up in the last game against Russia scoring four goals and only Turkey (21) conceded more shots per game than this week's opponents Wales (19.7) in the first three games so goals can be expected in this fixture. The only problem here is that Poulsen's ceiling is probably one goal so you can't expect much more than that.
9Alexander IsakSWE-UKR€8M
10Harry KaneENGvs GER€11.5MThe only forward with a home game but he is too out of touch after failing to score in three games to be considered seriously over other forwards.




Midfielders

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Lorenzo InsigneITA-AUT€8.6MWell rested and can't be ignored if you want a midfielder from Italy.
2Kevin De BruyneBEL-POR€10.6MThese two teams have struggled defensively so contrary to popular opinion, this game might be open so watch out for KDB and Lukaku linking up again.
3Georginio WijnaldumNED-CZE€8.1MThe fact that he is outscoring the forwards on his team says a lot.
4Emil ForsbergSWE-UKR€7.7MUkraine haven't kept a single clean sheet so far so it is a tempting fixture for Sweden who have turned their attacking form around thanks to Forsberg who has three goals in his last two games.
5Pablo SarabiaESP-CRO€6.5MSarabia was the most dangerous player on the pitch against Slovakia and finished as the top-scoring player in fantasy last week with 14 points for a goal and two assists. He could be a bargain differential at just €6.5M against Croatia if the Spaniards find their shooting boots again.
6Raheem SterlingENGvs GER€9.6MEngland seem to be content with taking the lead and sitting back which explains why they have the least shots per game (7.3) after Hungary and Finland who have 6.3 shots per game each so the ceiling here is almost non-existent unless the Englishmen change their ways.
7Kai HavertzGER@ENG€9.1M
8Andriy YarmolenkoUKR-SWE€8.6M
9Gareth BaleWAL-DEN€9.6MEven though Denmark have the upper hand here, don't expect Wales to not put up a big fight.
10Ivan PerišićCRO-ESP€8.6MA certified big-game player, Perišić is known for putting in big performances when it matters the most and this is the one game where they will rely heavily on him to score.
BonusSerge GnabryGER@ENG€9.5MEngland haven't conceded yet but a clean sheet isn't guaranteed when teams play with everything on the line and Gnabry could be a good differential if you expect Germany to win as London is his favourite hunting ground with six goals in his last two games including a four-goal performance against Spurs in his last match there.

1Leonardo SpinazzolaITA-AUT€5.6MItaly have kept a clean sheet in each of their last 10 international games. Enough said.
2Denzel DumfriesNED-CZE€5.6MHis early sub last week spoilt the party but the hype train is back again and his owners will hope that he adds to his tally of two goals against the Czech Republic.
3Benjamin PavardFRA-SWI€6MSwitzerland's best option of snatching a result in this game will be to sit back and hope that the game goes to penalties if they survive France's domination of possession and constant bombarding of their goal.
4Joakim MæhleDEN-WAL€4.5MHis extra attacking upside over Kjær finally paid off as he scored a goal against Russia and this might be another great fixture for him against a Wales team that were able to register only three shots against Italy's B team.
5Jordi AlbaESP-CRO€6.5M
6Giovanni Di LorenzoITA-AUT€5.1MA double-up of Italian defenders has been rewarding so far even though Donnarumma has been the more popular third option. However, you do have the option to select four players from a team in the knockout phase so maybe it was meant so that you could double/triple up on Italy defense.
7Robin GosensGER@ENG€5.2MI doubt Germany keep a clean sheet after their below-par defensive displays in the group including the last game where they conceded two goals against Hungary at home but no one buys Gosens for his clean sheet potential anyways.
8Luke ShawENGvs GER€6M

1Domenico BerardiITA-AUT€6.2MHis consistent performances means that he is still the best value pick but is a possible early sub because of Chiesa.
2Donyell MalenNED-CZE€6MMalen was highly impressive in the last game with four key passes and almost feels like too good to pass up at just €6M.
3Maarten StekelenburgNED-CZE€4.7M
4Francesco AcerbiItaly-AUT€5.1MThe not-so-cheap budget entry into the best defense in the tournament that is yet to concede.
5Eric GarcíaESP-CRO€4.5M
6Mikkel DamsgaardDEN-WAL€5.9MDamsgaard is filling in for Eriksen and has done such a brilliant job along with the other attackers that Denmark had the most goal attempts in the group stages with 61. Højbjerg is also worth a shout at €5.5M as he averaged two shots and three key passes per game in the group stages despite playing deeper than Damsgaard.
7Presnel KimpembeFRA-SWI€5.6MThe only player from the French defense who costs less than €6M.

Euro 2020 Fantasy Captain Picks Round of 16

 

NoDayNameMatchupValueComments
126th JuneCiro ImmobileITA vs AUT (-)€10.1MIt is debatable between Immobile and Insigne here but I feel like the former is more likely to score.
Leonardo Spinazzola (D)ITA vs AUT (-)€5.6MIt is either him or Mæhle. Depends on who you think can get a goal or an assist in addition to a clean sheet.
227th JuneMemphis DepayNED vs CZE (-)€10.1MA safer pick compared to Wijnaldum with the same upside.
Kevin De Bruyne (D)BEL vs POR (-)€10.6MKDB captain if you expect Belgium to win. Ronaldo captain if you don't.

Also considered for differential captain: Denzel Dumfries.
328th JuneKylian MbappéFRA vs SWI (-)€12MThe Swiss defense is far from the best and there are going to be goals in this game for sure. However, you might have to roll the dice to decide who is the best from Mbappé/Griezmann/Benzema.
Benjamin Pavard (D)FRA vs SWI (-)€6M
429th JuneEmil ForsbergSWE vs UKR (-)€7.7M
Raheem Sterling (D)ENG vs GER€9.6MThere is no "safe" option for the final day so you might as well go all guns blazing and hope for a ceiling game from one of Sterling/Havertz/Gnabry.

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Kylian MbappéFRA@HUN€12MSlow defenders vs a pacy striker that plays for one of the most lethal attacking teams in the world. What could go wrong?
2Harry KaneENGvs SCO€11.5MIt is too early to declare any team as the "whipping boys" based on just one game but after seeing Scotland being outclassed at home against a Czechia team that people didn't have many expectations from, this looks like the perfect game for Premier League golden boot winner Harry Kane to get his first goal of the tournament.
3Romelu LukakuBEL@DEN€11MThe Danish defense is rigid but if KDB comes back and Hazard is close to full fitness then Denmark might go from bombarding Finland with 22 shots to being on the receiving end of something similar.
4Memphis DepayNEDvs AUT€10MIt is hard to believe that the Netherlands scored three goals and Depay wasn't involved in any of them. Simply unlucky to not be involved in any goals and this week's opponents Austria were shaky and looked like they could concede at any time against the lowest-ranked team in the tournament - North Macedonia.
5Ciro ImmobileITAvs SWI€10M
6Artem DzyubaRUSvs FIN€8.5MA popular pick on limitless (the only way to justify his price tag) as he plays first but it does concern me that since Finland have a big win under their belt, they might just be happy to sit back and settle for a draw here. Nevertheless, if Dyzuba has to score then a home game against Finland is the best opportunity for him to get on the score sheet and he will have plenty of chances to do so.
7Antoine GriezmannFRA@HUN€11MIt took 84 minutes for Portugal to break past Hungary's defense but most of it is on them for missing the good chances that they got to score.
8Roman YaremchukUKR-MKD€7MYaremchuk impressed with a goal and an assist against the Dutch and was the main target from set-pieces so he will be a threat once again.
9Cristiano RonaldoPOR@GER€12MI wouldn't count Ronaldo out of scoring goals in this game but there are much better fixtures to focus on this week especially if you are on limitless or wildcard.
10Burak YılmazTUR-WAL€8MThese are 2/3 teams that conceded the most shots in the first week so you would expect some goals but it seems risky to get a Turkish attack considering how they failed to register a single shot on target against Italy. But that will make them decent differential picks as they won't be owned as much and there is a big difference between the Italian and the Welsh defense.




Midfielders

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Kevin De BruyneBEL@DEN€10.5MAlthough it is still a doubt whether he starts or not, I do not doubt that if he does then he will have an impact on the pitch. Belgium were able to score three goals away against Russia without the help of KDB and Hazard and with possibly both of them starting against Denmark their attack would be even scarier.
2Lorenzo InsigneITAvs SWI€8.5MInsigne is the engine that keeps the Italian attack ticking with his ability to swerve past defenders to score goals and also his playmaking abilities which are indispensable to the squad and being the most key player in attack you can expect the responsibility to score as well as create goals to fall on him again vs Switzerland.
3Georginio WijnaldumNEDvs AUT€8MWijnaldum is allowed to shoot at free will and took more shots in the game against Ukraine (5) than both the strikers - Depay (2) and Weghorst (5) combined. It is almost inevitable that he scores if he keeps shooting like that.
4Andriy YarmolenkoUKR-MKD€8.5MIt is 50/50 between him and Malinovskiy but Yarmolenko looked a lot more dangerous in the last game and Malinovskiy looked invisible except when he was on set-pieces which came by rarely against the Netherlands.
5Phil FodenENGvs SCO€8MWith the talent England have in midfield, it is anyone's guess who will start or be the best midfielder from the side on the day.
6Gareth BaleWAL-TUR€9.5MHe did not have a good outing in the last game but Turkey gave up the most shots last week with 24 and with both teams needing a win from this match, it could be an open game and Wales will rely on their best player again to get them a result so Bale could be a hit or miss differential.
7Ferran TorresESPvs POL€8M
8Aleksandr GolovinRUSvs FIN€7.5MThe main source of creativity for Russia so if you expect multiple goals from the home team in this game then Golovin could be a good differential.
9Bruno FernandesPOR@GER€10.5MIf he keeps playing as a #10 then that automatically makes him one of the best midfielders in fantasy but he doesn't have the best track record in big games and Portugal do not have to rely on him to score goals as they did against Hungary.
10Ivan PerišićCRO-CZE€8.5M

Defenders

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Thomas MeunierBEL@DEN€5.5MThe absence of Eriksen is going to leave a large void in the Denmark attack as he was the most impactful player in attack for them and it feels like too big of a task for any of his teammates to fill in his boots.
2Jordi AlbaESPvs POL€6.5MAlba was highly active against Sweden on the left flank registering four key passes but wasn't helped with the finishing of his teammates.
3Benjamin PavardFRA@HUN€6MIt is a big doubt that he will play after losing consciousness in the game against Germany.
4Leonardo SpinazzolaITAvs SWI€5.5MItaly squashed any doubts and reaffirmed that they have the best defense in the world after holding a Turkey team with brilliant attacking players to zero shots on target against them - the only team to do so last week.
5Mario FernandesRUSvs FIN€5.5MFinland scored from the lone opportunity that they had against Denmark so I have faith in Russia's clean sheet potential here.
6Kieran TrippierENGvs SCO€5M
7Denzel DumfriesNEDvs AUT€5.5MI don't trust his clean sheet potential but with the number of touches he gets in the box to go along with shots, you would assume that he is a striker.
8Oleksandr ZinchenkoUKR-MKD€5.5MIt took a stroke of luck for North Macedonia to score their first-ever goal in a final tournament as the ball kindly fell to Goran Pandev who neatly tucked the ball into the open net but I don't think they will be as lucky this time.
9Lucas HernándezFRA@HUN€6.5MHungary did have a few good chances against Portugal but you can only do so much without your best player in attack. A double-up of French defenders might seem like too many eggs in one basket but it could be rewarding if it goes right.
10Raphaël GuerreiroPOR@GER€6.5MIt is tough to imagine Germany not scoring a goal for the second match straight but it is still a possibility as they looked far from their best against France.

Goalkeepers

1Thibaut CourtoisBEL@DEN€6MHe wasn't worth the premium last week but he might be now if you are on limitless.
2Hugo LlorisFRA@HUN€6M
3Gianluigi DonnarummaITAvs SWI€5.5MThe perfect keeper for a game that doesn't reward bonus points generously as he isn't troubled much by opposition attackers for saves.
4Unai SimónESPvs POL€5M
5Anton ShuninRUSvs FIN€5MShunin has a good early game but plays on the same day as Donnarumma.




Value Picks

 

Forwards and midfielders within €8M and defenders and keepers within €5M.

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Ruslan MalinovskiyUKR-MKD€7M
2Dedryck BoyataBEL@DEN€4.5MThe cheapest starting defender for Belgium unless Martinez decides to rotate his center-backs again.
3Domenico BerardiITAvs SWI€6MBerardi is still a good shout but did receive a knock in the last game against Turkey so he is questionable.
4Aleksandar IsakSWEvs SVK€8M
5Tyrone MingsENGvs SCO€4.5MWhether he gets another start is yet to be seen but if he does then his value at €4.5M is undeniable.
6Wout WeghorstNEDvs AUT€7MAnyone who follows the Bundesliga knows just how good Weghorst is. The big man has 20 goals and 8 assists in 34 games and would be an absolute bargain at €7M if the attack wasn't centered so much around Depay and Wijnaldum.
7Gerard MorenoESPVs POL€6.5MMorata up top didn't work for Spain against Sweden so starting Moreno might do the trick this time.
8Maarten StekelenburgNEDvs AUT€4.5M
9Georgiy BushchanUKR-MKD€4.5M
10Bruno PetkovićCRO-CZE€6MThe Croatia attack has potential if your doors are open to a budget forward.

Euro 2020 Fantasy Captain Picks

 

NoDayNameMatchupValueComments
116th JuneLorenzo InsigneITA vs SWI€8.5MSince you can experiment with your captain on the first day with a ceiling pick, it is between Insigne and Dzyuba for the armband. It depends on which game you expect more goals in.
Leonardo Spinazzola (D)ITA vs SWI€5.5MA safer pick with some attacking upside, this is another spot where it is between him and Mario Fernandes and depends on which team you think is more likely to keep a clean sheet.

Also considered for differential captain: Gareth Bale.
217th JuneRomelu LukakuBEL at DEN€11MLukaku is a favourite for the Euro golden boot so it is only fair that you would expect him to score in almost every game with the form he is in.
Memphis Depay (D)NED vs AUT€10MHe has the skill and just needs some luck now to be at the end of a goal as he is due.
318th JuneHarry KaneENG vs SCO€11.5MBoth teams are in contrasting form heading into this game and it is widely expected that England gets their second win on the trot against Scotland and Kane finally breaks the deadlock in what should be the most favourable fixture for him from this group.
Alexander Isak (D)SWE vs SVK€8MSweden passed the big test as they managed to secure a point against Spain and even though they did not have many chances in attack, Isak was brilliant every time he had the ball. They will surely look to score some goals and win this game and Isak has the credentials, having scored 17 goals in 34 games for Real Sociedad this season.
419th JuneKylian MbappéFRA at HUN€12MIt is either him or Griezmann for the captain on the final day but I think Mbappé's pace and agility will be the trump card here.
Benjamin Pavard (D)FRA at HUN€6MIf the stick or twist game has put you in a spot where a two-point captain isn't acceptable and you also can't take a risk with anyone else then Pavard will be a safer option with his high clean sheet probability.

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Cristiano RonaldoPOR@HUN€12MBruno might've been the star of the show in the last match against Israel but could play deeper as a #8 this time and Ronaldo will be the center-piece of the attack again with most of the team's offensive efforts revolving around him. CR7 strikes me as the player who could get double returns in the first matchday and also offers the best captaincy option for the final day.
2Romelu LukakuBEL@RUS€11MAn away game against Russia might seem daunting but even without KDB, this Belgian attack that hasn't been shut since 2018 possess enough fire-power with players such as the Hazard brothers and Lukaku who has 15 goals and 6 assists in his last 18 appearances for the NT to do enough damage.
3Memphis DepayNEDvs UKR€10MDepay does it all for the Netherlands and if they score then it is more likely than not that he is involved. He is on every set-piece and had a direct hand in 47% of the team's last 21 goals.
4Robert LewandowskiPOL-SVK€11.5MThe service he gets at Bayern Munich is vastly different from the one he gets with the NT, but if you are one of the world’s most clinical finishers, you don't need too many chances to score.
5Ciro ImmobileITAvs TUR€10MThe Turkish defense is susceptible to conceding lots of shots and this is the one game that could be a two-way goal fest with the attacking talent that both the team's possess. So I wouldn't be surprised to see an Immobile goal or penalty in there.
6Harry KaneENGvs CRO€11.5MThis England team is a big question mark for me considering how the coach still isn't sure about his best XI so no one can predict how this game will go so I will wait and watch England since this is the toughest group stage game for them.
7Antoine GriezmannFRA@GER€11MThe Griezmann playing for France is a different beast than the one playing for Barcelona but I would still prefer him as a second striker where he is more consistent than as a #10 in a tough away game.
8Burak YılmazTUR@ITA€8MThe Turkish players are certainly no pushovers and with an attacking trio consisting of players with 10+ G+A each domestically, I expect them to fight fire with fire. Yılmaz in particular is the main threat here and had an incredible season with Lille in the Ligue 1 leading them to their first title in a decade with 16 goals and 5 assists in just 28 games at 35 years of age.
9Marko ArnautovićAUT-MKD€7MA boom or bust pick considering how Austria have failed to score a single goal in their last three games while North Macedonia have had some great results heading into the tournament and look like they could punch above their weight.
10Gerard MorenoESPvs SWE€6.5MAlthough he isn't nailed in the XI, Moreno offers a good budget option at just €6.5M in a game in which they are heavy favourites.




Midfielders

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Lorenzo InsigneITAvs TUR€8.5MHe has a higher fantasy potential than the cheaper Berardi and offers a great captaincy option from the early game.
2Christian EriksenDENvs FIN€9MA ceiling pick for the week as he is on all set-pieces against one of the weakest teams in the tournament.
3Yannick CarrascoBEL@RUS€7MThe biggest beneficiary from KDB's absence and Eden Hazard's lack of fitness, Carrasco could be a hidden gem as the primary creator that is also on free-kicks and corner-kicks for the most dangerous team in the tournament. Do keep an eye out for Mertens possibly making a surprise appearance over him.
4Diogo JotaPOR@HUN€8.5MPlays in a more advanced position compared to Bruno and costs 2M less. Jota is the more likely goal-scorer while Bernardo Silva is more likely to assist.
5Georginio WijnaldumNEDvs UKR€8MWijnaldum might strike you as a defensive player due to his role for Liverpool but he is a lot more attacking for the NT and it is evident with the eight goals and three assists that he had in eight games of the Euro qualifiers including a hattrick against Estonia.
6Serge GnabryGERvs FRA€9.5MEven though he didn't have his best season domestically, Gnabry has always been a force for the NT with 16 goals and 6 assists in just 22 games and could be a good differential since he is expected to play OOP as a striker.
7Ferran TorresESPvs SWE€8MTorres has proved his mettle at the international level with a hattrick against Germany and could be an alternate captain option for the games on 14th June against covid-affected Sweden but bad news could come from either camp so he is a risky pick.
8Mason MountENGvs CRO€7MGareth Southgate's preferred choice in midfield so he is the one player that is guaranteed game time and will also be on free-kicks.
9Marcel SabitzerAUT-MKD€8MLoves a goal from outside the box which has an extra bonus point and could be a good value as a #10.
10Piotr Zieliński
POL-SVK€7MTasked with creating opportunities for Lewandowski and he is also on corner-kicks to support him but at that price point you might look for someone who is more consistently involved in goals.

Defenders

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1João Cancelo
POR@HUN€6MThis Portugal team is about more than just one player and Cancelo's recent contributions in attack is proof of that. He might be the only defender worth the premium and has the best clean sheet odds this week to go along with a potential goal/assist against a toothless Hungary team without their best player Szoboszlai.
2Simon KjærDENvs FIN€4.5MIt is a huge first game for Finland in the Euros but it might be too big of a task to score against a Denmark defense that has kept a clean sheet in 7 out of their last 10 games. A Danish defense double-up is a real option here but just for this week.
3Pau TorresESPvs SWE€4.5MIf Sweden loses more key players to covid then this game might quickly become one-sided.
4Jason DenayerBEL@RUS€4.5MThe #1 ranked team has been placed in what many consider the easiest group and the Belgian Red Devils have good odds to keep a clean sheet in almost every group stage game.
5Leonardo SpinazzolaITAvs TUR€5.5MItaly has the stats to back up the fact that they have the best defense in the world. They have just conceded once in their last 10 games but be wary of how good the Turkey attack is.
6Owen Wijndal
NEDvs UKR€4.5MNo team managed by Frank De Boer is immune to conceding goals but Wijndal gets a pass because of his price, the easy group, the home game against Ukraine and the return of De Ligt from an injury scare should be a big boost to the Oranje defense.
7Luke ShawENGvs CRO€6MIf England goes with five defenders at the back then Southgate might be more than happy to settle for a draw here so a clean sheet is on the cards for Shaw who should also share corner-kicks with Phil Foden.
8Andrew RobertsonSCOvs CZE€5.5MAn attacking wing-back on corner-kicks against a Czechia team that still doesn't have a reliable goal-scorer.
9Martin HintereggerAUT-MKD€4.5MThe reality is that MKD are in better form here but either team could keep a clean sheet with Austria being the more likely side to do so and Hinteregger will be a big threat from set-pieces.
10Ezgjan AlioskiMKD-AUT€4.5MA defender on penalties and corner-kicks feels too good to pass up just for the bench at €4.5M even though I doubt they keep a single clean sheet.

Goalkeepers

 

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Rui PatrícioPOR@HUN€5.5MThe best clean sheet odds for this week.
2Kasper SchmeichelDENvs FIN€5MA big bargain for this matchday considering the matchup at just 5M.
3Thibaut CourtoisBEL@RUS€6MThis Belgium squad is one of the best teams in the world - both offensively and defensively - but I am not sure that Courtois is worth the premium when everyone is so cash-strapped.
4Unai SimónESPvs SWE€5MAnother value pick but could be replaced by Sánchez at any time.
5Gianluigi DonnarummaITAvs TUR€5.5MThe best defense but not the best fixture. However, he plays early so you can sub him out for another keeper if he doesn't keep a clean sheet.




Value Picks

 

Forwards and midfielders within €8M and defenders and keepers within €5M.

RankNameTeamOpponentValueComments
1Domenico BerardiITAvs TUR€6MProbably the best value for money midfielder at just €6M, Berardi has a goal in each of his last four starts for the NT and is also coming off a stellar domestic season with 17 goals and 4 assists in 30 games for Sassuolo and is pretty much a must-have if he starts.
2Ruslan MalinovskiyUKR@NED€7MThe Malinovskiy hype train is in full steam and rightly so given his 8 goals and 12 assists for Atalanta this season.
3Yusuf YazıcıTUR@ITA€5.5MIt is either him or Alaba at 5.5M and I prefer the man in the more attacking role on a team that is considered more attacking.
4Yussuf Poulsen
DENvs FIN€8MEriksen needs someone to assist up top against Finland.
5Olivier GiroudFRA@GER€8MHe might not start often but when he does, it feels almost inevitable that he will score.
6Maarten StekelenburgNEDvs UKR€4.5MPro: Likely to keep a clean sheet.

Con: He doesn't rotate with Bachmann as they play on the same day.
7David AlabaAUT-MKD€5.5MAlaba is another player who is playing in a more advanced position and enjoys more attacking freedom for the NT but mainly stands out due to his free-kick and corner-kick responsibilities. Not to forget the matchday one fixture against the lowest-ranked team in the tournament.
8Daniel BachmannAUT-MKD€4.5M
9Tymoteusz PuchaczPOL-SVK€4MRybus replacement that might ply as a midfielder instead of a defender and costs just €4M.
10Jakub ŚwierczokPOL-SVK€5.5MŚwierczok is the highest-scoring forward domestically at his price with 15 goals and 3 assists in 23 Ekstraklasa games and will partner Lewandowski up top in a game that should see some goals.

Euro 2020 Fantasy Captain Picks

 

NoDayNameMatchupValueComments
111th JuneLorenzo InsigneITA vs TUR€8.5MThe best option from the first game of the matchday, Insigne is in stellar form returning with a goal or assist in each of his last five games for the country and could extend the streak against Turkey.
Ciro Immobile (D)ITA€10MWhen you are surrounded by some of the best attacking talent in the world, you have a good chance at scoring goals.
212th JuneRomelu LukakuBEL at RUS€11MThe most obvious captain choice for this day, Lukaku has been one of the most consistent goal-scorers this season for both club and NT.
Christian Eriksen (D)DEN vs FIN€11MTake a chance on Eriksen if you believe that he could get double returns against Finland's leaky defense.
313th JuneMemphis DepayNED vs UKR€10MNot the most exciting captain pick there is but he is the most reliable player on this list in terms of form.
Harry Kane (D)ENG vs CRO€11.5MFew own Kane and few will captain him but given his recent form, he is more than capable of delivering the goods in a big home opener against Croatia.
414th JuneRobert LewandowskiPOL vs SVK (-)€11.5MIn the current format, every game is a must-win and I don't expect Lewandowski and co to take this lightly so they won't expect anything less than three points in a group in which they are expected to qualify.
Jordi Alba (D)ESP vs SWE€6MThe Swedish defense can be resilient so a Spanish defender could be a good floor option if all your captains have failed at this point.
515th JuneCristiano RonaldoPOR at HUN€12MRonaldo is just five goals away from breaking the record for the most international goals ever and if he has to put in a big performance it has to be in this ceiling game.
Antoine Griezmann (D)FRA at GER€11MIt is no secret that the German NT's defense has been unstable as they have conceded in each of their last three games against Latvia, Denmark and North Macedonia. Red-hot Griezmann who has four goals and an assist in his last five games could capitalize on that by utilizing the amount of space that their fullbacks give up.
