Tuesday evening brings more European Championship knockout stage action and team news has arrived from the Round of 16 clash between Romania and the Netherlands. It kicks off at 17:00 BST in Munich.

Both nations secured four points to get here but, while Romania finished top of a freakishly even Group E, the Dutch had to progress as one of the best third-placed sides.

Ronald Koeman is yet to find his best right-sided combination and the latest attempt is Denzel Dumfries (€5.5m) and Steven Bergwijn (€7.0m). It’ll be the latter’s first minutes of this tournament.

They replace Lutsharel Geertruida (€5.0m) and Donyell Malen (€6.9m), with a third change bringing Xavi Simons (€7.0m) in for Joey Veerman (€6.4m). Lasting no more than 35 minutes of the Austria defeat, Veerman is in Koeman’s bad books.

Other popular Euro Fantasy names like Virgil van Dijk (€6.0m), Cody Gakpo (€7.5m) and Nathan Ake (€5.5m) all start.

Meanwhile, it’s Romania’s first knockout match since Euro 2000. Their only line-up alterations so far have switched wingers but, thanks to Nicusor Bancu‘s (€4.0m) suspension, there’s an enforced change for Vasile Mogos (€4.0m).

Dennis Man (€5.0m) comes in for Florinel Coman (€5.9m) too.

MATCHDAY 4 TEAM NEWS

Romania XI – Nita; Ratiu, Dragusin, Burca, Mogos; M Marin, R Marin, Stanciu; Man, Hagi, Dragus

Netherlands XI – Verbruggen; Dumfries, de Vrij, van Dijk, Ake; Simons, Schouten, Reijnders; Bergwijn, Depay, Gakpo

    2. Drexl Spivey

      Italy didn't.

        Italy weren't favourites.

            That isnt how favourites are decided

              Decided by algorithms that predict most profitable outcomes for bookies.

              Purely subjective in any case.

    Where Simons second assist?

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not came 🙁

      Defender must of got last touch

      Harsh 🙁

    2. PartyTime

      Deemed as a solo goal so maybe no assist.

      1. The Senate
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 14 days ago

        Damn. BBC had credited it and misled me…

    3. samz146
      • 1 Year

      That's what I'm thinking? Multiple sources saying Simons got that 90+3mn assist. If it doesn't count later then Euro Fantasy is rigged and BS < FPL

    Austria beat Turkey 6-1 on March 26 in a friendly match with somewhat similar lineups.

    Probably not going to happen tonight though, but...

      ... we hope so!

    Is it too much to ask to C Sabitzer outscore Gakpo and Baumgartner to haul also 😉

    Well, these results are saved nowhere, so it doesn't really matter.
