Germany v Denmark team news: Mittelstadt + Wirtz join Fullkrug on bench

Saturday sees the start of this European Championship’s knockout stage and team news has arrived from the Round of 16 clash between Germany and Denmark. It kicks off at 20:00 BST in Dortmund.

This rematch of the 1992 final almost didn’t happen. Hosts Germany were initially fairly comfortable but needed a stoppage-time Niclas Fullkrug (€7.0m) equaliser against Switzerland to keep top spot.

However, despite strong rumours that the forward would be rewarded with a start, he remains on the sidelines. Good news for Kai Havertz (€7.5m) owners, although popular duo Florian Wirtz (€7.5m) and Maximilian Mittelstadt (€4.1m) have been demoted to the bench. Leroy Sane (€6.9m) and David Raum (€5.0m) replace this duo.

Their third change has Nico Schlotterbeck (€4.4m) step in for suspended Jonathan Tah (€4.5m).

Euro Fantasy’s top-scoring midfielders Jamal Musiala (€8.5m) and Ilkay Gundogan (€7.1m) begin proceedings, just like Antonio Rudiger (€5.5m) and Manuel Neuer (€6.0m).

Meanwhile, Denmark were joint with Slovenia on many tie-breakers. They only grabbed second because the latter’s assistant coach got booked in Matchday 1.

Similarly to Tah, it’s a one-match ban for midfielder Morten Hjulmand (€5.6m). It’s why Thomas Delaney (€5.4m) is one of two changes, the other being Andreas Skov Olsen (€6.4m) for Jonas Wind (€6.9m).

Furthermore, it’s Rasmus Hojlund (€7.5m) up front and Christian Eriksen (€7.0m) as playmaker. The latter enters Matchday 4 in joint-second for overall shots (10) and the best for chances created (13), even though he’s yet to set up a big chance.

Whoever wins will face either Spain or Georgia in the quarter-finals.

MATCHDAY 4 TEAM NEWS

Germany XI – Neuer; Kimmich, Rudiger, Schlotterbeck, Raum; Andrich, Kroos; Musiala, Gundogan, Sane; Havertz

Denmark XI – Schmeichel; Andersen, Vestergaard, Christensen; Bah, Delaney, Hojbjerg, Maehle; Skov Olsen, Eriksen; Hojlund

      Personally would stick. It’s only 1 extra set of points after all. What’s the worst that can happen. Your possible twist captain scores a hat trick. You’ll only lose like 6 points. More likely your replacement will score 6 or alike.

        i get that but you can just watch defenders whose only intent on set-pieces is to block runners and not even watching the ball. an attacker does it and its a foul, its stupid tbh

          I agree. The situation at corners is a shambles. That said Kimmich was far too obvious in committing that foul. It could easily have been missed in real time but in the age of VAR that should always get called.

    I just realised that I have somehow managed to make rookie error, I changed my gk from Maignan to Neuer, but kept Pickford starting. And I even checked my team sub order but managed somehow not to look at gk situation 😉 Glad that this wasn't fpl error at least. And since I am not winning this tournament, no huge harm done.
