Spain are looking to make it two wins from two as they face Germany in a classic clash in Group E on Sunday.

Luis Enrique’s side ran riot with a 7-0 win over Costa Rica in Matchday 1, while Germany began the tournament in contrasting fashion, losing to Japan 2-1.

Kick-off is at 19:00 GMT.

Luis Enrique makes just one change to his starting XI, as Cesar Azpilicueta makes way for Dani Carvajal at right-back.

Gavi is the most-owned Spain player in the official FIFA game, followed by Pedri, with their ownerships sitting at 9.8% and 6.6% respectively.

As for Germany, Hansi Flick makes two alterations in an attempt to get his side back on track.

Nico Shlotterbeck and Kai Havertz both drop to the bench, with Thilo Kehrer and Leon Gortezka handed starts.

That means wonderkid Jamal Musiala continues in attack alongside Bayern Munich teammates Serge Gnabry and Thomas Muller, while Leroy Sane is named among the substitutes.

MATCHDAY 2 LINE-UPS

Spain XI: Simon, Carvajal, Rodri, Laporte, Alba, Busquets, Gavi, Pedri, Torres, Olmo, Asensio

Germany XI: Neuer, Sule, Kehrer, Rudiger, Raum, Kimmich, Gundogan, Goretzka, Gnabry, Musiala, Muller

Coming up to the end of this wildcard hack and forming a team for MD3. A couple of positions which I've messed up which I'll use free transfers to correct but will be on something like this:

Simon
Shaw - Sandro - Hernandez
Ziyech - Asensio - Olmo - Gundogan
Mbappe - Messi - Richarlison

Noppert - Sosa - Klassen - Miller (change to Raum).

Thoughts?

  Looks nice but:
  
  If Spain wins tonight I guess they'll heavily rotate?
  
  Will Mbappe and Hernandez start the final group game?

    I don't know all the permutations but I'll explain the one issue I faced.
    
    If you transfer out a locked player, you can't then replace the replacement. That's why I'm stuck with Miller.

  Also recommend getting in Gakpo against Qatar - maybe over Richarlison who could sit for Jesus if they win tomorrow?

        That’s fine but just don’t remove a locked player in your MD2 squad if you want them back for MD3 while Wildcard still active

        You cannot remove locked player in MD2 WC and bring them back under same WC
        
        So if tomorrow for example you take out Messi (locked) to fund Richarlison ( unlocked) to Vinicius Junior ( unlocked) you would not be able to transfer Vinicius Junior to Messi if using MD 2 Wildcard to set up MD 3 team.

        *Damn that’s a bad example lol!
        
        If you take out Kane ( locked) for Gapko ( locked) then Gapko will be in MD 3 team and you cannot reverse move to get Kane back as part of MD WC.
        
        Sorry rather difficult to explain!
