Austria v France team news: Saliba, Hernandez + Mbappe start

The stand-out Euro 2024 fixture of the day for many is the 20:00 BST kick-off, which features France and Austria.

It’s all about Kylian Mbappe (€11.0m) and co from a Fantasy perspective, as there isn’t a single Austria player picked by more than 2% of managers.

The most-owned player in the official Euro 2024 Fantasy game is indeed Mbappe, who sits in a whopping 76% of teams.

He starts for Didier Deschamps’ side tonight, as does Mike Maignan (€5.5m), William Saliba (€5.5m), Jules Kounde (€5.0m), Theo Hernandez (€5.5m) and Antoine Griezmann (€9.0m).

Austria players are much less popular, of course, but they face Poland in Matchday 2 so could potentially start to pick up a bit of interest with a decent performance here.

Patrick Pentz (€4.0m), Marcel Sabitzer (€6.5m) and Christoph Baumgartner (€6.5m) all start for Ralf Rangnick’s side, but Marko Arnautovic (€7.0m) has to settle for a place on the bench.

    if Kante motm he gets 9, a game where cdms are appreciated

    also kounde 9 ball recoveries, carvajal 9 and walker 4 (bit less but more than most full backs). seems like more defensive full backs are the play, some attacking threat but pick up the long ball from opponents in the channels for ball recoveries

      I might transfer in Di Marco lol, no idea how he didn't get an assist. But yeah fair enough on the rest, definite chance Dumfries will be rotated for Frimpong now.

    Do ball recovery points unfairly favour players coming back from any kind of groin strain? Asking for a friend who hasn’t read the rules.

    Most of the Euro games are being well contested. Makes the fantasy game more unpredictable.
