Jack Grealish (€7.4m), Harry Maguire (€5.5m), Kyle Walker (€5.5m) and Bukayo Saka (€6.5m) all come into the England XI to face the Czech Republic at Wembley.
Maguire makes his first appearance since sustaining an ankle ligament for Manchester United against Aston Villa in early May.
The Villans’ talisman Grealish is set to play behind Harry Kane (€11.5m) in an attacking midfield trio also featuring Saka and Raheem Sterling (€9.6m).
Mason Mount (€7.1m) and Ben Chilwell (€6.0m) miss out for England due to being in self-isolation over a Covid-19 exposure risk, though both players have tested negative.
Walker replaces Reece James (€5.1m) at right-back, while there is no place for Phil Foden (€8.0m) in the matchday 23. Gareth Southgate has said he did not want to “take a risk” with the Man City starlet, who is on a yellow card.
The Czech Republic name the same XI that drew 1-1 with Croatia in Matchday 2. Striker Patrik Schick (€8.4m) has experienced two double price rises and boasts 19 points over two matches.
Scotland make just one enforced change to their XI, as Steve Clarke replaces Billy Gilmour (€5.0m) with Stuart Armstrong (€6.5m). Gilmour has tested positive for Covid-19 since a man-of-the-match display against England last Friday.
Andy Robertson (€5.5m) may well be a popular option for those seeking to twist their captain’s armband on Day 3.
Defender Josip Juranovic (€4.5m), midfielders Marcelo Brozovic (€6.5m) and Nikola Vlasic (€6.5m) and striker Bruno Petkovic (€6.0m) all come into the Croatia XI. That leaves Ante Rebic (€7.0m) and Andrej Kramaric (€6.6m) on the bench.
Owners of Ivan Perisic (€8.6m) will be hoping the winger operates from the left-hand side of the Croatia attack, from where he scored a thunderbolt against the Czechs in Matchday 2.
Czech Republic XI: Vaclik; Boril, Kalas, Celustka, Coufal; Soucek, Holeš; Jankto, Darida, Masopust; Schick.
England XI: Pickford; Shaw, Maguire, Stones, Walker; Rice, Phillips; Sterling, Grealish, Saka; Kane.
Croatia XI: Livakovic; Gvardiol, Vida, Lovren, Juranovic; Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic; Perisic, Petkovic, Vlasic.
Scotland XI: Marshall; Tierney, Hanley, McTominay; Robertson, McGregor, McGinn, Armstrong, O’Donnell; Adams, Dykes.
