Ferran Torres benched as €4.0m defender Puchacz starts for Poland

Ferran Torres (€8.0m) finds himself on the bench as Spain play their second match of EURO 2020.

The Manchester City man drops out of the line-up to be replaced by Gerard Moreno (€6.5m) as Luis Enrique persists with a 4-3-3 formation.

That shape means Dani Olmo (€7.0m) retains his starting berth on the other flank, with Alvaro Morata (€9.0m) through the middle.

Torres’ namesake Pau Torres (€4.5m) earns a second successive start alongside Aymeric Laporte (€6.0m) at centre-back in front of goalkeeper Unai Simón (€5.0m).

Poland have made some changes of their own, one of which includes €4.0m defender Tymoteusz Puchacz (€4.0m) coming in for Maciej Rybus (€5.0m) at left wing-back.

Spain XI: Simón; Alba, P Torres, Laporte, Llorente; González, Rodri, Koke; Olmo, Morata, Moreno.

Poland XI: Szczesny; Bednarek, Glik, Bereszynski; Puchacz, Moder, Klich, Jozwiak; Zielinski, Swiderski; Lewandowski.

    Yarmolenko, Foden, KDB
    Yaremchuk, Belotti, Malen
    (Hradecky, Gnabry, Gosens, Havertz)

    I'll review Italy lineup before the match and make changes if necessary.

          I’m hoping to get 2x cheap attacking Italians. Whoever they are.
          Let me get KDB, Hazard, Ronaldo (maybe), Havertz

          Going to be a fun hour before the game starts playing around.

            Italy are gonna change half of their team I would avoid them. Wales also have one of the best defence in this tournament.

              I don’t know if I agree about Wales. But more the point is Italy, at home, with players trying to prove their place.
              If I can get two sub-6.0 attacking players for them that’s awesome to enable more money elsewhere. And because we know who will be playing it works out.

              Just my thoughts though.
