Welcome to Euro 2024. After weeks of build-up, we now have team news for the opening match between hosts Germany and Group A opponents Scotland.

Julian Nagelsmann has named the same line-up that faced Greece in their final friendly. That’s good news for Fantasy managers who own bargain defender Maximilian Mittelstadt (€4.0m), as well as those with Kai Havertz (€7.5m). The Arsenal man ended 2023/24 as one of Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) best midfielders but is a forward here.

Ilkay Gundogan (€7.0m) starts in midfield and Florian Wirtz (€7.5m) is the game’s fourth most-owned player. The latter delivered 18 goals and 20 assists, almost taking Bayer Leverkusen to three trophies.

As for Scotland, Steve Clarke makes three changes from the friendly against Finland. During qualifying, Scott McTominay (€6.5m) was only outscored by premium forwards Romelu Lukaku (€9.0m), Cristiano Ronaldo (€10.0m), Kylian Mbappe (€11.0m) and Harry Kane (€11.0m).

He gets the nod, whilst Che Adams (€5.5m) and Ryan Porteous (€4.5m) start over Lawrence Shankland (€5.5m) and Grant Hanley (€4.0m). FPL managers will be very familiar with the attacking instincts of Liverpool’s Andrew Robertson (€5.5m) and he’s at wing-back tonight.

Meanwhile, a reminder to Euro Fantasy managers that squads can be altered right up to the 20:00 (BST) kick-off.

Let’s get this festival of football underway.

MATCHDAY 1 TEAM NEWS

Germany XI – Neuer; Kimmich, Rüdiger, Tah, Mittelstädt; Andrich, Kroos; Musiala, Gündogan, Wirtz; Havertz

Scotland XI – Gunn; Porteous, Hendry, Tierney; Ralston, McTominay, Christie, Robertson; McGregor, McGinn; Adams

    i never knew this website deletes comments having a bit of friendly banter...... No swearing, no insults, not making fun of anyone and last 2 comments got deleted....
    All I said was:
    "managed to make a good mid budget midfield, thoughts? figo, desailly, scholes, zidane, pirlo a bit of a risk with the 2 young guys pirlo and scholes but look promising at under 5mil"

    a bit of light hearted banter and got deleted - RIP free speech

      Free speech means free from government censorship. It has nothing to do with comments made on a website owned by a private business.

        That is true, but it was still a dumb and pointless power play move to delete that comment (watch mine disappear in 3...2...)

        no, I tried posting it in another "old" thread to test if it was an error on my side.... but seems they deleted it on the most recent thread because they saw it.

        very strange to delete it either way...

    I'm just gonna assume Gundogan was still nursing the collision, so gave the pen to Havertz.
    At least there was an assist....

      Think Musiala was gonna take the one he won, so could have a win-it-take-it policy. Gundo might have to keep winning them, and without injuring himself in the process.

      Still think he's on them. He had the ball when they thought they had the first penalty. Didn't take this one because he was on the receiving end of that horror tackle.
