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.

        Rules quote:

        "If you don't make any subs or change your captain within a matchday, some of your players might be automatically subbed out.

        Automatic subs can only happen when you don't make any manual changes to your team during the matchday. That includes changing captain, making any manual subs and switching the priority order of your benched players. Once you save any of these changes – even if you then switch back to what you had before – your auto subs will be disabled for that matchday."

    I hate how its so difficult to win long term at betting. I get it that the house will price everything in a way that they'll win. However, I really did think that logically France would get more shots on targets and corners, and Austria would get more yellow cards. So far I'm only getting the yellow cards bit right
