€6.5m midfielder Duda out-of-position as Slovakia face Sweden

Ondrej Duda (€6.5m) is one of two out-of-position Fantasy assets to watch as Slovakia face Sweden in Matchday 2.

The former Norwich City loanee is classified as a midfielder in UEFA’s version of the game but he has been trusted with a centre-forward’s role for the second time this tournament.

Robert Mak (€7.0m) and EURO Fantasy defender Martin Koscielník (€4.5m) are the two wingers in Slovakia’s 4-2-3-1 formation which features Marek Hamšík (€8.0m) in the number 10 role.

Milan Škriniar (€5.1m) is the top-scoring asset from his compatriots thus far after scoring in the 2-1 win over Poland on Monday. That display has also earned him the mantle of most-popular too, owned by 3% of managers.

That makes the Inter Milan defender the most fashionable asset in this match as Sweden are also a squad full of differentials.

Forward Alexander Isak (€8.0m), defender Victor Lindelöf (€5.5m) and goalkeeper Robin Olsen (€5.0m) are all tied on 2% ownership for Matchday 2.

Sweden XI (4-4-2): Olsen; Augustinsson, Danielson, Lindelöf, Lustig; Forsberg, Ekdal, Olsson, Larsson; Isak, Berg.

Slovakia XI (4-2-3-1): Dúbravka; Hubocan, Skriniar, Satka, Pekarík; Hrosovsky, Kucka; Mak, Hamšík, Koscielnik; Duda.

        Mount is quality. Mightn't have looked as effective v Croatia because of tactics having Phillips doing more attacking from centre mid.

      Tough situation to be in.

      Your defense looks fine. Attack is an issue.

      Bruno vs France. Kante and Zielinski are pretty much useless.
      All 3 of forwards might get a rest or less gametime.

      You can do one of the forwards to Mueller, Kante to whichever Italy mid is starting plus one more move for a hit. (if you want to save WC)

    After watching the Bundesliga these past couple of seasons I can say that Halaand is one of the most gifted finishers in the World today.

    But Alexander Isak looks like a more complete forward IMO.

    I haven't seen much of him before. But he is a beast!

          I have to disagree with the "his link up play is pretty average".
          You need to watch the goals he participated in for Dortmund last season and you will see there was a lot of link up play with the likes of Sancho, Reus, and the rest

            I'm happy to accept Halaand is the most gifted forward of his generation. But he is far from complete.

            I have seen him fail to complete the most simple passes under no pressure.
            It might get harder under pressure in the PL.

            Isak may not be as gifted, but he offers more overall.
