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

    I dont have WC. And have no use for it. None of my teams eliminated if austria can also beat turkey. Just guehi suspended

    Gakpo has had 20 shots today. Annoyed I’ve no Netherlands, they just didn’t fill me with confidence in the group stage

  5. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Dumfries should be sent off for that crap

  6. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    So if austria win today it would mean austria vs Netherland in qf.
    Isnt that strange as they were in the same group?

    1. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Yes it is, and that shouldn't be allowed imo.
      That should be at the semi-final stage at the earliest.

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        If austria do win all 3 group d teams thru to qf and all 3 group e eliminated.

      • 7 Years

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        One more recovery and even more points haha

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          • 4 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

        • 4 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        I stuck with Musiala c. Currently both same pts though i suspect gakpo will move to 12 with man of match

  9. nerd_is_the_werd

    1 year, 9 months ago

    Congrats Gakpo owners and the 23% ownership.

  10. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Gakpo ownership leads to that feel good factor 😎

  11. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Weghorse on
    Gakpo off

  12. dirtmcgirt
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Marin fail, took Bruno out for him, and no Dutch in my side either, thought they didn't look impressive all tournament. If Austria don't win later I'm screwed

  13. ཐི༏ཋྀ

    1 year, 9 months ago

    I was close to captaining Gakpo but stuck with Musiala 🙁

    But my best score yet 86 points right now with Sabitzer and Baumgartner to play…

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Was the sensible thing to do. If u wanted to twist u would have surely done it earlier

    2. FPL Blow-In

    Stick with Musiala captain yeah? I’ll raise you a Gakpo captain who’s got a good shot at being POTM. Laters xx

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Nice 3 point gain

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        And less owned

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          True

  15. jacob1989

    Gakpo seems much better player on the left than l Diaz who just keeps running but with not much end product. Maybe we ll see gakpo more upcoming season for Liverpool

  16. fenixri
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Depay surely MOTM.

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      For doing what exactly?

        Trying to score from a corner

        1. fenixri
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          This, I didnt see Gakpo do that

      2. fenixri
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        I am just envy for owning Depay over Gakpo

  17. fenixri
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Malen surely MOTM.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Gakpo lucky, WW was coming on just before that goal. Congrats to Gakpo owners! I made the mistake of "selling" him to Morata just because of bookies odds. On the other hand Morata playing vs low block isn't ideal for him (I think) and I can blame only the man in the mirror. In a game like this there is no time to recover from mistakes like this. The only way is probably to stick with Morata.

    Maehlen motm now imo.

    I do best in this game when I don’t follow what anyone else is doing or any of the sites.

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      It’s the only way mate

      1. ཐི༏ཋྀ
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Seems like it. It’s also so fun to pick a player that barely anyone has and they do well 🙂

        1. Leaf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago
