Serbia v England team news: Midfield spot for Alexander-Arnold

171 Comments

Day three of this European Championship ends with team news from the Group C clash between Serbia and England. It kicks off at 20:00 BST in Gelsenkirchen.

Expectations are high for the Three Lions and that carries through to Euro Fantasy, where five players have an ownership exceeding 20%. As expected, Harry Kane (€11.0m), Jude Bellingham (€9.5m), Phil Foden (€9.0m) and Jordan Pickford start (€5.0m).

The big move from Gareth Southgate is to put Trent Alexander-Arnold (€5.5m) in midfield. Should his technical ability bring multiple attacking returns, he could be a bargain Fantasy defender.

At the back, injuries have become a defensive problem. Luke Shaw (€5.0m) isn’t yet ready, meaning Kieran Trippier (€6.0m) awkwardly plays at left-back once more.

Bukayo Saka (€8.5m) and Kyle Walker (€5.5m) begin too, whilst Cole Palmer (€7.5m) is ready to come on as a substitute.

Facing them are some familiar names. Forwards Aleksandar Mitrovic (€7.0m) and Dusan Vlahovic (€7.5m) get the nod, alongside team-mates Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (€6.5m) and Filip Kostic (€6.5m). Cheap goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic (€4.0m) is selected.

MATCHDAY 1 TEAM NEWS

Serbia XI – Rajkovic; Milenkovic, Veljkovic, Pavlovic; Zivkovic, Milenkovic-Savic, Lukic, Gudelj, Kostic; Mitrovic, Vlahovic

England XI – Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier; Alexander-Arnold, Rice; Saka, Bellingham, Foden; Kane

      attacking full backs just not worth it

      getting to the point they need 1 goal or 2 assists over 3 matches to match CBs, and more often costing more

      if there weren't doubts about mbappe's fitness would be him.

      just about lukaku for me, feel like there's more chance of a haul for him

      This is in coin toss category, even bookies can't find difference. In this fantasy game I prefer the one with smaller EO and the other factor is that Mbappe just might not be 100% I will stick with Havertz, but Kaku out of those.

    Wish I could sub in my reserve GK for Kane, probably gets 2pts as well, but he'd probably deserve those 2pts more than this shower sh*t I just watched.

      Tough choice actually.

      I probably would stick, but on the other hand I can easily see that match ending in a scoreless draw. (Both teams defense's have been fairly solid recently)

      I will certainly start Costa, but I would prolly start Lunin. Even if he doesn't get cs, 3 saves and 3 pts is pretty likely outcome. Losing 1 or 2 points and having chance to haul is worth trying. I think his expected points are over 4 So despite probably losing 1 pt, it should be worth trying.

    Pay him £10M a year and England win everything with that team.

    I've just noticed that I am the wise old man of this site. Is there anything you pups need to glean from my encyclopaedic experience of fantasy football? If so, please be quick with your questions as I am about to make a cup of cocoa and go to bed.

    Thanks.

      With all that experience, one should really be careful about posting at the bottom of an old article.

      Good night.
