Digne and Pavard start for France as Hungary call on €4.0m man Négo

Lucas Digne (€6.0m) comes into the France starting line-up as they face Hungary in Matchday 2.

The Everton left-back replaces Lucas Hernández (€6.5m) in a back-four that also contains a fit-again Benjamin Pavard (€6.0m). That’s good news for the 5% of EURO Fantasy managers who own the right-back.

N’Golo Kanté (€5.5m) remains a popular Fantasy figure with 45% ownership, eight percentage points more than Kylian Mbappé (€12.0m).

The PSG forward is paired with Karim Benzema (€10.0m) up-front while Antoine Griezmann (€11.0m) occupies the number 10 role once again.

Elsewhere, Fantasy managers invested in budget Hungary midfielder Loïc Négo (€4.0m) have had their patience rewarded as he comes in for his first star of the tournament.

The bargain option is bettered only by Kanté and Mbappé for ownership in this opening encounter of Matchday 2’s fourth day.

Hungary XI: Gulácsi; At Szalai, Orbán, Botka; Fiola, Schäfer, Nagy, Kleinheisler, Négo; Sallai, Ad Szalai.

France XI: Lloris; Digne, Kimpembe, Varane, Pavard; Kanté; Rabiot, Pogba; Griezmann; Mbappé, Benzema.

Who are the best EURO Fantasy captains to switch to on Day 4 of Matchday 2?

      Nice. Don't think Boyata will start though, Martinez has indicated that Verm will play. I reckon Chiesa will come in for Berrardi too, but we will get to see in advance at least.

      Here's my own effort:

      Safonov
      Meunier / Wijndal / Tierney
      KDB / Hazard / Yarmo / Chiesa
      Muller / Yaremchuk / Weghorst

      Simon / Gundo / Gosens / Porres

          Between him and an England defender as need a captain for that day ... Croatia don't look great though and Tierney has attack upside so nice differential punt!

    Depending of course Italian lineup thoughts on this updated WC squad welcome- trying to get both Hazard and KDB in as we know they start and bench with triple Germany available to come in. Uses whole budget.

    Meunier Wijndal Tolói

      Like it. I'd gone Stek but changed as worried Krul might get a game. Who will you bring in if Berardi doesn't start?

      Here's my latest draft:

      Safonov
      Meunier / Wijndal / Tierney
      KDB / Hazard / Yarmo / Chiesa
      Muller / Yaremchuk / Weghorst

      Simon / Gundo / Gosens / Porres

        Thanks- would go Chiesa and then need to replace Meunier with 4.5 defender probably- will have an hour to work out! Perhaps Locatelli instead of Chiesa and have .5 m to spend elsewhere

        Weghorst may not play, analysts in Holland believe Maalen links up better with Memphis and this game is the ideal opportunity to test it out.

        Also Ake is rumoured to start but so is Wijndal.

            Sorry for the late reply but Depay has recieved a lot of criticism because he loses the ball too much and hasn't played that well overall.

            So De Boer will probably play him to build his confidence and a rest isn't really necessary because Holland have a 6 day rest after their last game.
