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.

TEAM NEWS

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

Subs: Dibusz, Szappanos, Balogh, Nego, Adam, Bolla, Kleinheiser, Gazdag, Styles, Z Nagy, Botka, Csoboth, Dardai, Horvath, Kata.

Switzerland XI (3-4-2-1) Sommer; Schar, Akanji, Rodriguez; Widmer, Xhaka, Freuler, Ndoye; Aebsicher, Vargas; Duah.

Subs: Mvogo, Kobel, Stergiou, Elvedi, Embolo, Okafor, Steffen, Zesiger, Sierro, Shaqiri, Jashari, Amdouni, Rieder.

    Hungary are making Switzerland look like world beaters.

      Not quite. Switzerland are making Hungary look like just like what they are. Scotland will make Switzerland look like world yodel champions.

    Aebischer goal and assist.
    Ownership at 0% 🙁

    Pretty difficult for the players from Hungry to win a game if they don't eat food and are hungry all the time.

    1. Deulofail

      Top tier

    Hungary look awful

    1. DeSelby
      • 3 Years

      I was always staying away from Hungary after watching them get beat by Ireland a week or two ago. I heard some people touting them. I figure they must have missed that game.

    Hungary lack hunger.
    Or to put it simply, they are sh*te.

    Glad I stuck with Wirtz over Szob.

    1. Baps Hunter

      Shakira over Szlobo here and I don't actually even care.

      1. Weasel Boy

        Hips don't lie.

    Aebischer owners, unite!!!

    1. Baps Hunter

      • 8 Years

      Not my party though.

    Chose the 'wrong' wing back in Widmer.
    Aebischer only one goal in three seasons with Bologna.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I don't really know if this was even possible to predict.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        20 appearances for SUI, one goal.

    2. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Not to worry, Aebischer at 0% ownership so hardly a dent to your rank.
      *on the flip side, huge differential opportunity missed*...........

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Interesting to see how many teams in top 10 have him after today.

      2. Travel Notes
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        The great thing is.... all the transfers in. Oh the bandwagons.

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      We have still 45 mins with Widmer. Aebischer is also mid, so no worries.

    Would there be fantasy copa america? My euro fantasy team getting battered.

  12. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

    Aebischer on bench - I can’t sub him in can I?

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      My bench woes continue into the Euros 😆

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Even when I pick fodder they haul
        (If I don’t play them)

    2. Travel Notes
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      At least you won't have to transfer him for Matchday 2; against Scotland.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        He will blank then

        1. Travel Notes
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Exactly. Keep him on the bench, or transfer out.

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Are you joking or simply stupid?

      1. chocolove

        Later

  13. Travel Notes

    Scotland will be watching this game closely to see where they can pick up a point, or three. Probably hard to pick up a point in Cologne next time out, but it could be a three-point wooden spoon in Stuttgart.

  20. Travel Notes

    2 years, 1 month ago

    Did someone in the commentary box say 'Hungary are winning this game'?
    Then after the goal, another added: ' Hungary are winning this game now'.
    It's still 2:1 to Switzerland.
    I'm confused.

  21. RICICLE
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Are in play subs not working for anyone else? I make the in play sub changes and it says “confirm” etc, but then the team just reverts to how it was without saving the changes?
    Or am I massively missing something here?
    Any help appreciated.

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Had to do it before the start of the earliest game today.

      1. RICICLE
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Ohhh so you only get a short window for it to take proper effect? I didn’t know that.

        I only wanted to do Tah & Mittlestadt > Faes & Trossard, so I can still do that before they play?

        1. Alan The Llama
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, but wait until other players play first. Some of them might not get 3 points.

          1. RICICLE
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            Cool gotcha, I’ll try and to them in future like an hour before first kick off of the day.

            Can you wait until subs play first before you transfer them in? I thought the idea was you have to take that gamble of subbing out players that you think will score more points than the ones your benching?

        2. panda07
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Yes

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Why are you making subs now - or who are you trying to sub on/off? Deadline was at KO of this game

      1. RICICLE
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Because germany lost their clean sheet, so wanted to replace the players with the above (Tah & Mittlestadt > Faes & Trossard), I’ve no idea how this works haha

        1. panda07
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          You're best off waiting until the morning that your subs play as someone else on your team might score less than Mittelstadt and Tah.

          1. RICICLE
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            I totally get that, but don’t you have to take the gamble of subbing in/out players before kick off? Or can you just bring those sub points off the bench and swap them in AFTER they&?3 played?
            It’s so confusing I think I might just leave it haha

          2. RICICLE
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            Ahh you mean someone else other than Tah & Mittlestadt, yeah I get that, if others score less than three.
            You still have to make the subs though before they play don’t you?

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 1 month ago

              yep

      2. RICICLE
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I even tried doing it last night but still wouldn’t take effect, it’s so weird.

        1. jacob1989
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Subs open from end of game yday plus 1 hour maybe to just before kick off today.

          Now to put the belgians wait till all matches complete today. Or just do it tmrw morning.
          But as others said others in ur team may not even get 3 pts so wait till end of tmrw i suggest

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            This ain't quite right. After the games yesterday, the game took over 3 hours to update, and even then you couldn't make changes until the round was "unlocked", which was around 4-5am UK time

            1. jacob1989
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah just sleep and do the subs in the morning

            2. RICICLE
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 1 month ago

              Ahhh ok gotcha, I’ll have to look out for the locked and unlocked part then, I’ll se rid I can do it tomorrow as I don’t need to make any changes today anyway.
              Thanks so much bud!

          2. RICICLE
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers man, I tried doing them yesterday once all the games ended, and it asked me to confirm it and the action cannot be undone etc, so I clicked confirm, but then my team just still shown tah & mittlestadt still in main 11 with faes & Trossard still benched.
            I’ll try and do it jsut before games see if that makes it happen.

            I totally get you about others perhaps scoring less than 3 and stuff though.
