Scout Notes – Euro 2012 Friendlies

Mario Gomez is amongst the goals as Germany see off Israel and return to winning ways. Franck Ribery helps France to a 2-0 home win over Serbia as the hosts ring the changes and trial a 4-3-3, while Kyriakos Papadopoulos gets the only goal of the game as Greece chalk up a narrow win in Armenia:

France 2 Serbia 0
Laurent Blanc rolled out a 4-3-3 formation for France’s 2-0 win over Serbia last night, with only two players – Karim Benzema and Philippe Mexes – keeping the same position from Sunday’s win over Iceland. There were plenty changes to the backline, with Laurent Koscielny, Gael Clichy and Anthony Reveillere all handed starts, though Blanc’s midfield plans were disrupted after just four minutes as Yann M’Vila limped off with a worrying ankle injury. Franck Ribery opened the scoring after 10 minutes, netting after the opposition keeper had spilled Clichy’s cross, before Florent Malouda fired home the second from the edge of the area just six minutes later as Les Bleus extended their unbeaten run to 20 matches. Post-match, Blanc was reported to have said M’Vila has “a big ankle sprain” but didn’t expect the player to miss the tournament – further tests are expected today.

France Starting XI: Lloris; Reveillere, Koscielny, Mexes (Rami 72), Clichy; Cabaye (Martin 61), M’Vila (Diarra 5), Malouda (Ben Arfa 76); Nasri, Benzema (Giroud 61), Ribery (Menez 61).

Armenia 0 Greece 1
Greece recorded their first clean sheet in six games as they clinched a 1-0 win in Armenia. Fantasy managers will be frustrated with a change in keeper, as Michail Sifakis replaced Konstantinos Chalkias between the posts. Sokratis Papastathopoulos started at right-back with Vasileios Torosidis afforded the night off after picking up an injury at the weekend – this allowed Schalke man Kyriakos Papadopoulos to return to centre-half and he offered further evidence of his attacking potential by grabbing the only goal of the game. Priced at 4.5, Papadopoulos is one of the most popular players in the McDonald’s game and currently has over 16% ownership, though this will no doubt increase after last night’s display. Sotiris Ninis failed to shake off an injury, allowing Kostas Fortounis to make his first start for the national team in a night where Fernando Santos’ side failed to make the scoreline more substantial by missing two second half spot-kicks; Georgios Samaras (70) and Kostas Katsouranis (86) were the culprits.

Greece Starting XI: Sifakis; Papastathopoulos (Makos 62), A. Papadopoulos, K. Papadopoulos, Holebas (Tzavellas 60); Katsouranis, Maniatis, Karagounis (Fotakis 46); Fortounis (Samaras 46), Gekas (Ioannnis 62), Salpingidis (Mitroglou 85).

Germany 2 Israel 0
With seven of their Bayern contingent back on board, Germany bounced back from their weekend 5-3 defeat by Switzerland to see off Israel 2-0. Joachim Low made a host of changes, as Toni Kroos partnered Sami Khedira in the double pivot due to Bastian Schweinsteiger’s injury, while Mario Gomez was given the nod ahead of Miroslav Klose up front – Gomez justified his selection by opening the scoring five minutes before the break, with Thomas Muller providing the assist. Low made five changes later in the second half, with Mesut Ozil the only attacking player to be afforded the full 90 minutes, as Andre Schurrle – on as a sub for Lukas Podolski – firing home a superb second.

Germany Starting XI: Neuer; Boateng, Badstuber, Mertesacker, Lahm; Kroos (Gotze 86), Khedira (Bender 88); Muller (83), Ozil, Podolski (Schurrle 66); Gomez (Klose 66).

    If Dempsey stays at Fulham then those penalties are going to be a huuuuge asset for him. If he leaves, Pogrebnyak will most likely take them and could be a bargain!

          Hmmm not sure if it's actually that accurate. There's a list here that shows the players released, but also includes players that are just out of contract:

          http://www.premierleague.com/content/dam/premierleague/site-content/News/publications/other/premier-league-released-list.pdf

          Don't actually know yet whether either have been released. It even says Scholes on the list, but thats not true as he signed a new contract.

            Yeah just been studying. A bit pre-emptive on my part. Doesn't really mean anything just yet. Scholes is on the list as it was written before he re-signed but they've not bothered to re-edit it!

        I have him in my team, a dark horse and only 6.5.

        In 10 apps during qualifying he scored 3 goals and got 7 assists so delivered every game.
        GW1 is against Ukraine, not bad prospects of him getting something there

        Him and Larsson are not bad punts but Larsson was pretty hit and miss this season, Kallstrom is much more consistent with his performances

        I say go for it!

    Well I've not changed the team for a few days now so I think I'm good to go. Polish clean sheets in last two friendlies very pleasing, have a feeling Lewandowski will score in the opener too so kicking off with him as el capitan. Papa goal for Greece the other night was nice too.

    Plan is to play two Dutch forwards against Denmark. As I intend to have Hart in goal for England I've avoided French attackers but will poss sell Wesley or Robben in GW2 for Ribery or Benzema to give a better spread. Plan is good lets see if it works! 🙂

              Hopefully indeed mate. That league situation you mention below would be a disaster. Really hope that's something we can easily and obviously omit.

              I asked them about what happens with players signed on freebies after managers run out of money at the auction. This whole chairman lark could turn out to be a lot more work than expected- let's hope the Euro's make it all worthwhile!

          I agree with the confusing nature of the situation. I emailed the people on the site to see if I can get a few more answers about how it goes after the auction is done. I know in the one league we did that was set up as "traditional" had an interesting issue where the manager was able to set how much he was selling a player for and how much he was buying a player for so at that point money didnt matter. In one fell swoop you could sell Andrews for 100 mil and buy Oezil for 0 mil. I do not know the exact rules for the transfers in that league though, so I can't pinpoint a reason for it.

          I believe I did read something about changing the quota and having "transfer windows" during the tournament. Maybe once the tournament starts there are more options that become available.

    Cahill or Evra for GW1? Want some England/France coverage and am leaning towards a patriotic punt on Cahill.........

      Not Evra, he's out of favour. Cahill might not be bad, i can see England conceding unfortunately but Jones might be OOP if you want a punt.

      I've gone for Joe Hart, but Cahill was my second choice option in defence. Might get Evra or Debuchy to gamble on the 0-0 as both teams go out with the main aim of not losing.

        Nah, he didn't start last game but came off the bench, but Zhirkov plays at LB no doubt. I swerve to him because I know the player, but Anyukov had most assists in qualifying.

          Yeah, I get it BAD, but I really quite fancy the Ruskies to be a bit of a dark horse. I've also got Kaddy-shack, but fully expect the Ruskies to score and win GW1. I'm also more of a Poland believer over Greece, although that game could very easily end 0-0.

          Good luck to you.

      The money you would save from Lew/Zlatan -> Jelavic and Kadlec->Selassie, could allow you to upgrade Andrews significantly. I think the points difference is worth it. I can see Lew/Zlatan scoring 1 goal max, same with Jelavic, only he is a huge 3m cheaper.
