Spain v Italy team news: Laporte fit, Italy unchanged

20 June 2024 73 comments

Skonto Rigga

A much-needed antidote to the dross served up by England is arguably the most attractive game – on paper at least – of the tournament so far.

It’s Spain v Italy, which kicks off at 20:00 BST at the Arena AufSchalke.

If there is to be a victor in tonight’s fixture, they’ll follow Germany in securing a passage to the round of 16.

Not only that, they’ll secure top spot in Group B. The winner of this group will face one of the best third-place teams, with the Group B runners-up squaring off against the second-place team in Germany’s group.

Onto the team news and there is just one change across the two sides.

It’s made by Spain, who recall the fit-again Aymeric Laporte.

Nacho drops to the bench as a result.

Italy are unchanged from the 2-1 win over Albania.

TEAM NEWS

Spain XI: Simon, Carvajal, Le Normand, Morata, Ruiz, Laporte, Rodri, Williams, Yamal, Pedri, Cucurella.

Italy XI: Donnarumma, Di Lorenzo, Dimarco, Calafiori, Frattesi, Jorginho, Scamacca, Pellegrini, Chiesa, Barella, Bastoni.

  Stick. Maybe you get two more. Most likely you get 2 or less.

  I'd always twist if the goalie didn't keep a CS.
  It's an easy decision if he got less than 3 points or less, simply due to the fact that you're getting 2 points for a 60' appearance.

Anyone notice Inaki Williams running at Carvajal according to the commentator?
He's probably reading off a screen which is dysfunctional.

Do you like the idea of FPL implementing points for ball recoveries like the euro game?

Would make the centre backs and dms more of an option unlike now.

      Perhaps, but then AA should be worth 1 point also. And maybe just enough baseline baps should give points also.

        12-15 baps = 1 pt(?) or something like that. Now the winner takes half of them and only 2 others are given any.

        Or don't give like 24 bps if a fwd scores a goal, 18 for a mid etc.. maybe 12 bps for a goal by anyone. And reduce bps for cs also by half. That way other things like key pass, Tackle
        etc will be added to get bps

  Yes. But because I like DMs, not because I think it will avoid a template.
  
  Rodri and Rice score goals and recover balls in the prem. Gabriel, White, Saliba, Gvardiol do the same. Its not unlocking new players
