Euro 2024

Euro 2024 Fantasy team previews: Denmark

Our Euro 2024 Fantasy team previews continue apace with Denmark.

The Danes won the European Championship in 1992 and more recently, reached the semi-finals at Euro 2020.

In these country-by-country guides, we’ll be looking at the best players from each nation, taking a stab at predicted line-ups, reviewing the road to Germany and more.

To do this, we’ll be calling on the help of correspondents from each country.

Here, we enlist the services of Nordic football expert Eytexi (@eytexi on X), who has also written extensively on the Swedish Allsvenskan, Norwegian Eliteserien and Icelandic Besta Deildin.

All prices given are from the official Fantasy Euro 2024 game.

THE ROAD TO QUALIFICATION

5Northern Ireland10307913-49
6San Marino100010331-280

Denmark qualified by topping Group H ahead of Slovenia, who they will face once again at Euro 2024.

That’s despite several underwhelming displays on the road to Germany, most notably in the 3-2 loss to Kazakhstan and the narrow 2-1 win over Europe’s whipping boys San Marino. They did, however, qualify with one game to spare.

In the end, they took 22 points from 10 matches to reach consecutive Euros finals for the first time since 2004.

Rasmus Hojlund (€7.5m) certainly made an impression, scoring seven goals in just six starts. Talented players such as Joachim Andersen (€5m), Joakim Maehle (€5.5m), Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (€5.5m) and Christian Eriksen (€7m) will join him, so there is plenty of experience in this squad.

That said, not many expect Denmark to reach the latter stages in Germany, but they are tactically flexible (Kasper Hjulmand tends to tweak his formation/tactics based on opponent) and they should, in theory at least, finish second to England in Group C.


QUALIFICATION IN NUMBERS

  • Most starts: Kasper Schmeichel (10), Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (9)
  • Most goals: Rasmus Hojlund (7)
  • Most assists: Jonas Wind, Christian Eriksen (3)
  • Clean sheets: 3 from 10

Preparations continued for Euro 2024 in March.

At Parken Stadium, Kasper Hjulmand’s side were held to a goalless draw by Switzerland. They dominated possession but struggled to carve out clear-cut chances against a well-organised Swiss outfit.

Goals followed, however, with Hojbjerg and Mohamed Daramy (€7m) on the scoresheet in the 2-0 win over Faroe Islands.

    Which team do you think will keep the most clean sheets in the group stages??

    1. Dubem_FC
      • 9 Years

      France

  5. BUZZBOMB ♡

    Belgium
    England
    Spain
    France
    Portugal
    Netherlands

    In that order imo.

    How is this team looking? GK's a concern I suppose?

    Dibusz Moldovan
    VVD Cancelo Dimarco Mittelstadt Faes
    Saka Gundogan Calanoglu Jorginho Bruno
    Mbappe Kane Lukaku

    1. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 9 days ago

      Moldovan def worth a shout at that price. If Sels gets the nod in friendlies (unlikely), he's a shoe in. Costa, Pickford next 2 on my list. Lunin maybe if I play a chip in groups.

      Would like to hear if anyone has a chip strategy and if so what it is.

      Cant fault the rest of your squad. Like the Faes pick as an enabler for that front line. Watch your mids in next week tho - Cal and Jorg. Might need to upgrade 1.

      as a Hungarian I think Gulácsi will be Hungary's starting goalkeeper.

        Hey Deyell, would you be interested in answering a few questions on Hungary via email? It's one of the few countries we don't have a contributor for yet!

        1. deyell
          • 6 Years
          6 months, 6 days ago

          sure I would gladly answer your questions if I can, but I don't consider myself a fantasy football expert.

            Generally speaking, the ones who do consider themselves fantasy football experts are not worth listening to 😉

            Thanks, Doyell, will be in touch!

    Rate my 24/25 team pls:

    Pickford Raya
    TAA Robbo Trippier White Porro
    Salah Son Saka KDB Foden
    Haaland Isak Watkins

    Based on my estimated prices, that should leave me with 1m ITB to jump on any early bandwagons.

    TIA

    1. Ginkapo FPL

      Why would you want Trent Salah or Son?

      1. BUZZBOMB ♡
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 9 days ago

        Budget picks. Enablers.

        • 12 Years

        Apologies I forgot TAA has never been good value unless you captain him!

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 13 Years
          6 months, 9 days ago

          True then as it is now

    2. NZREDS

      Leaving far too much in the bank with that squad! Maybe squeeze in Palmer for one of your bench players

  8. Gibbers123

    Anyone know of a euro 2024 fantasy private league with say 10-50 managers?

      I would expect one on here, but top lad Charlie has one too.

    A) Gundogan + Cancelo + van Dijk
    B) Bellingham + Castagne + Tah

    1. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 9 days ago

      3 captains in A. Belingham could even be Foden or Saka tbh. Just dont know. Maybe 2 out of 3 England mids even. I like Castagne. Those fixtures for cleanies and attacking returns. Tough one.

      A

      1. I Member
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 9 days ago

        Thanks for the reply.

        I have Saka, Bellingham would be a double up. Don't think I would captain anyone in A.

  10. CoracAld2831
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    6 months, 6 days ago

    Please pick a pairing:

    A: Simons & Rodri
    B: Saka & Jorginho

    1. CoracAld2831
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      6 months, 6 days ago

      A could be Szoboszlai too.

  11. Dat Guy Welbz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    6 months, 6 days ago

    I’m avoiding Mbappe for Matchday 1. Better value elsewhere and Lukaku’s a better captaincy option on the Monday imo.

  12. sirmorbach

    Zinchenko + 0.5 or punt on Guler?
