Turkiye v Portugal team news: Guler benched, Bayindir starts

The penultimate fixture of Matchday 2 comes from Group F, where Portugal meet Turkiye.

Kick-off in Dortmund is at 17:00 BST.

A win for either side not only guarantees qualification but also top spot in the group.

Portugal boss Roberto Martinez makes only one change from Matchday 1, with Joao Palhinha (€6.0m) coming in for Diogo Dalot (€5.0m).

That will prompt a move to a 4-3-3, a change from the wing-back formation that was used against Czechia.

Five of Portugal’s starting XI have double-digit ownership in the official Fantasy game, including Bruno Fernandes (€9.0m) and Cristiano Ronaldo (€10.0m).

Turkiye, meanwhile, have made four alterations.

The 10%-owned Arda Guler (€6.0m) was a slight injury concern going into this evening’s game and isn’t risked.

There’s another enforced change between the posts, too, with €4.0m goalkeeper Altay Bayindir replacing the injured Mert Gunok (€4.5m).

Zeki Celik (€5.0m), Kerem Akturkoglu (€7.0m) and Yunus Akgun (€5.5m) are also promoted to the starting XI, with Kenan Yildiz (€5.5m) and Mert Muldur (€4.5m) making way.

  Haha cant judge anything now. They have the easiest group by far.
  Again a gift of own goal killed the game. Could have been tighter otherwise

Pitch invaders need tasering. Then at least we get to laugh at their involuntary breakdancing as 100,000 volts courses through their body.

  Hadn't thought of that, that's an added bonus. We could have pitch invader highlight reels at the end of the tournament. Brought to you by Tena Lady.

    I personally am surprised he is playing at all, but community overall expects him to play because of his status...

Club-De-Belon

RMT on limitless:

23rd: Neuer (SUI), any German MID from squad (SUI) + McTominay (HUN)
24th: Oyarzabal, Grimaldo, Laporte (ALB)
25th:Mbappe, Griezmann, Mendy (POL) + Mladenovic (DEN) + Kane, Pickford (SVN)
26th: KDB (ROM) + Neto, Cancelo (GEO)

I wanted Schick but he pulled a muscle and I don´t want to downgrade to Hlozek on their FWD players.
I worry about Theo Hernandez´s medical/fitness status as well and want to punt on Mendy.
I expect Spain to rotate a lot so I punt on Grimaldo and Oyarzabal on purpose.
I might change McTominay for McGinn purely for set pieces.

Any better safe picks than my punts?

Club-De-Belon

And I punt on Pedro Neto because Leao got suspended Other option is Fernandes but Portugal might rotate team since they are safe already?

  Spanish GK rotation is the reason I intend to go safe with Neuer first and have Pickford in reserve.
  
  Inácio is a FWD and I want to have both Frenchmen there. I could sell Kane and Neto for Inacio + ENG mid, but I prefer Kane and spanish MID options.
  
  Erickes? Not a fan for fantasy. I expect a draw with Serbia pushing more than Denmark.

    Yeh it think Simon would be rested and Raya might get a start. Inacio is defender so Portugal cover vs GEO.
    
    Do we think kane starts

      Sorry I guess I though of Conceicao... I am happy with Cancelo though.
      
      I guess with Southgate stubborness, it is possible he won´t make a single change in the squad even though he should.
      And Kane is probably not going to get benched.
