Day three of this European Championship continues with team news from the Group C clash between Slovenia and Denmark. It kicks off at 17:00 BST in Stuttgart.

Familiar names Christian Eriksen (€7.0m), Rasmus Hojlund (€7.5m) and Kasper Schmeichel (€5.0m) all start.

However, the main Danish talking point regards the lack of Joakim Maehle (€5.5m), with Alexander Bah (€4.5m) and Victor Kristiansen (€4.5m) instead preferred as wing-backs.

During qualifiers, Maehle was the second-best defender for attempts (16) and shots on target (seven), whilst being number one for big chances (four). He even scored against today’s opponents in last November’s meeting.

Narrowly behind Maehle on three big chances was Zan Karnicnik (€5.0m). He does make the Slovenia line-up, alongside stars Jan Oblak (€5.0m) and Benjamin Sesko (€7.0m).

MATCHDAY 1 TEAM NEWS

Slovenia XI – Oblak; Karnicnik, Drkusic, Bijol, Janza; Stojanovic, Cerin, Elsnik; Sporar, Sesko, Mlakar

Denmark XI – Schmeichel; Andersen, Vestergaard, Christensen; Bah, Hjulmand, Hojbjerg, Kristiansen; Eriksen; Wind, Hojlund

    Why is Mahele on bench

      "Hjulmand has chosen Kristiansen and Bah over Mæhle as the wing-backs in Denmark's 3-5-2. I guess the plan is to hit plenty of crosses, and Bah and Kristiansen are arguably better at that than Mæhle, who tends to gravitate more towards the centre of the pitch."

          Someone he convinced me he might not be first choice anymore. Can't remember the poster's name though. But thanks!

            I read the article on defenders and put him in considering the stats and low ownership. Pity

    Maehle benched is very annoying

      Why are people still posting half news in the off season

      1. Total Slotball
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        ?

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Trent starts.

          In which position? Who else starts?

          Such pointless info. May as well post, 'please give me attention cause I crave it'. Would be more honest

          1. Total Slotball
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Grow up you man child. TAA's position was the only one up for debate going into this game. The rest of the lineup is easily known pal.

            1. Ginkapo FPL
              • 14 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              And where is Trent playing then?

              1. Total Slotball
                • 10 Years
                1 year, 10 months ago

                Where do you think he'll be playing buddy

                1. Ginkapo FPL
                  • 14 Years
                  1 year, 10 months ago

                  No idea as there is still no information on that topic

                  1. Total Slotball
                    • 10 Years
                    1 year, 10 months ago

                    watch the game then and you'll find out as you clearly don't like ppl posting team info in the off season

            2. jacob1989

              1 year, 10 months ago

              Agree. Whats wrong with posting taa starts? Isn't this a fantasy football site?

      12 years and still childish as per usual.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        It has long since stopper mattering what I say on here, the masses will attack me. Very little incentive to play along with the 'greater good'

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          I don't think that's really been the case recently, has it? I don't mind a little of your sarcasm/cynicism but I just don't understand why you're making an issue out of the above post

          1. Ginkapo FPL
            • 14 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Yeah its every post I ever make regardless of what I say. Be honest, there arent enough Mods on here to achieve anything

            1. Ginkapo FPL
              • 14 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              (And one of them is TM who insults me more than anyone else)

              1. chocolove
                • 15 Years
                1 year, 10 months ago

                I agree with this. He is the worst mod.

                1. Ginkapo FPL
                  • 14 Years
                  1 year, 10 months ago

                  Yup. He is quite insulting to a lot of the community. Amazed he was made a mod, and amazed he still is one

            2. The Mentaculus
              • 4 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              You know I'm not shy about expressing my issues with FFS but that isn't one of them. At least right now I think I can handle this by myself even.

              I'll keep an eye out for you. I certainly don't want you to feel like you're being driven off. I'm pretty tolerant of almost anything on here except aggressive/abusive behaviour

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      My guess is

      Pickford
      Walker Stones Guehi Trips
      Rice TAA
      Saka Bellingham Foden
      Kane

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Agree

        Although wonder to protect the back line if a 4-3-3 better
        with the two wide in mid-field bombing forward & back to allow additional
        cover to left back but allowing to attack from deeper with the ball

        1. Bluetiger1
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Golden & Cole to come in plus others - very positive attacking
          & hope Luke Shaw fit for second/rest of tournament to ensure a nature
          left back ( & left footer)

      So you all agree posting small amounts of infromation without any sources is pointless.

      You might want to check your hypocrasy.

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        He did give a link to a source.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          A random bloke? Ok, great source

          1. Total Slotball
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            he's been posting Liverpool team news all season and clearly as TAA is LFC player he hears info on this also.

      2. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Nope I agree with the others that TAA starting obviously means in the vacant/contested midfield spot England. And he posted a source. Don't see your issue with that post at all

  9. Johnjo

    Apologies for the novice question, but do player prices change in the Euro game like they do in Fpl?

    1. Lord Mayor's Croupier
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Apparently, going into the knockout stage. Rules are a bit unclear :/

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      yes, but no information about how much they increase, and whether theres a chance to build TV/SV

      big increases could make the 5mil extra for the KOs not much in comparison

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Been playing UCL fantasy for 3 years (with same rules) and actually I don't know. Prices change slightly but I don't think you gain TV when selling, although the budget does increase to 105m for the KO stages. In any case, it's too short a format for TV to really be a consideration imo

        "Player prices:

        Player prices will stay the same until the Matchday 2 deadline. Once the Matchday 3 deadline has passed, some players' prices will be adjusted based on their performances in the previous games. Prices will keep changing throughout the season depending on how many points players score."
