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.

    If Pau Torres and Llorente get a clean sheet minimum my MD1 team would have scored higher than my my Limitless MD1 team. Lesson learned for next time! Now have to play my wildcard and hope for the best in rd16.

        The lesson being not to use a chip in MD2 if possible.

        I have Eriksen, Ristowski, three Italian and two Dutch players, all rotation risks except maybe Donnarumma. Don't have much of a choice

            But the people you'll be bringing in on WC are also rotation risks. I'm in a very similar situation to you and really can't see how anyone can pick a WC team with any confidence (outside the Italians who play 1st).

            I'll swap Eriksen for someone, and most likely Spinazzola (less likely to emerge from bench) using my 2FTs and roll the dice with everyone, but without my WC chip

    MD3 surely the best time to play limitless chip, no?

    You don’t permanently lose your star players from teams that have already qualified for the knockout stage, but you get to replace them for one game with players likely to start, right?

        Yeah I don’t like it.
        Let’s say you LL in the round of 8 after WC in round of 16.
        You’ll roll the team from WC16 into round of 4. So 12 teams will have been knocked out.

        You can only have 3 from a team in wc16 so you have max 12 players assuming you pick the four teams right to go for 3 players.

        It’s super hard I think.

        LL is for the group stage.

      The scope for returns will lessen from GW16 onwards. If you’ve already played your WC then limitless seems sensible. If not, I’d WC and save it for the last 8. This game is ll about building up your lead in the first few rounds.

          Yes I agree, the pricing does not guarantee success. I’ve used the limitless this matchday with limited success, 59pts, only 2 more than MD1. But it was fun picking the side I wanted without even looking at player prices. I just think there was more scope to get those points now, than there will be in later rounds because of the shrinking options.

            It’s not about the pricing.

            If you use a limitless your team reverts to the previous matchday.

            In the KO round that would mean having a team from 16 teams to 4 teams or from 8 to 2 teams.

            With only 1 round of transfers to fix it.
