Romania v Ukraine team news: Moldovan benched

The first of Monday’s three Euro 2024 matches sees Romania take on Ukraine.

Kick-off in the Group E curtain-raiser is at 14:00 BST.

From a Euro 2024 Fantasy perspective, most of the interest is in Andriy Lunin, whose ownership currently sits at 20%.

The goalkeeper starts for Ukraine this afternoon, as does Oleksandr Zinchenko, Mykhailo Mudryk and Artem Dovbyk.

Romania players are less popular purchases among Fantasy managers.

Dennis Man and Haratiu Moldovan are their most-owned squad members, sitting in just 2% of teams.

However, Moldovan is only a substitute here, with fellow €4.0m shot-stopper Florin Nita preferred between the sticks.

TEAM NEWS

Romania XI (4-2-3-1): Nita; Ratiu, Dragusin, Burca, Bancu; R Marin, M Marin; Man, Stanciu, Coman; Dragus

Subs: Moldovan, Tarnovanu, Rus, Nedelcearu, Alibec, Cicaldau, Puscas, Hagi, Mihaila, Olaru, Mogos, Sorescu, Racovitan, Birligea, Sut

    Lukaku or Mbappe as a captain？

      I have the exact same question! Havertz did OK for me with 18 pts, but I think both Lukaku and Mbappe will outscore him. Question is which one will score more... I'm leaning towards Lukaku.

    Watch Dovbyk punish me this afternoon for bottling it and taking him out just before the Friday deadline for Lukaku instead!

    Same time as ditching VVD for Grimaldo as well!

      Any spoken word medium really. Crimping only really works if you can get the big-eyes, small-eyes dynamic going.

        Agree with this. One cannot simply put on a mirrorball suit and crimp. Better to stick with scat if you don't know what you're doing
