Hungary v Switzerland team news: Shaqiri benched

The first of three European Championship matches today gets underway at 14:00 BST in Cologne: Hungary v Switzerland.

It’s the second Group A encounter following Germany’s win over Scotland last night.

It’s a match of limited Fantasy interest, although Hungary’s Dominik Szoboszlai is owned by 18% of managers in the official game.

The Liverpool midfielder starts as expected for his national side.

There are no huge shocks with the Hungary team, with Peter Gulacsi getting the nod over Denes Dibusz between the sticks.

The big team news from the Switzerland camp is that Xherdan Shaqiri is only among the substitutes.

Hungary XI (3-4-2-1) Gulacsi; Lang, Orban, A Szalai; Fiola, A Nagy, Schafer, Kerkez; Sallai, Szoboszlai; B Varga.

            Yeah not many but history has taught me to twist especially in group stage. I will likely get the 10 pts or more from Ronaldo.

        That should give him a Livescore rating of 8.1 out 10, for those recovered balls alone.

    If Grimaldo doesn’t come off bench would Aebischer auto sub in?

      You can't make any subs for autosubs to kick in. So you'd lose all your bench this matchday.

          Play everyone you have no matter how they are rated. Sub them later if they don't do well.

              You've plenty of time, just two games in. Put any players playing later in the matchday on the bench for any players you have left to play earlier.

    So far from 'winning it', Hungary were played out of the Kölner Park. https://travelnotes.org/worldcup/european/Euro2024/index.htm

          Scores the odd goal, group isn't too bad. But boredom was more of a motivator. Rarely a good thing!

            Fair play, I hope he does well for you! When punts like that come in, it makes it all worthwhile!

      Does need attacking returns to influence a game.
