Yarmolenko and Zinchenko in midfield as Ukraine face North Macedonia

Oleksandr Zinchenko (€5.5m) is the key EURO 2020 Fantasy asset as Ukraine face North Macedonia on the second day of Matchday 2.

Classified as a €5.5m defender, the Manchester City man is, once again, in the usual midfield role he fulfils for his country.

In what looks like a 4-5-1 formation, Andriy Yarmolenko (€8.5m), who scored against the Netherlands in Matchday 1, features on the right-hand side of midfield.

The West Ham man is something of a differential in this match, owned by just 2% of EURO Fantasy managers.

Ruslan Malinovskyi (€7.0m) and Roman Yaremchuk (€7.1m), who assisted and scored in Matchday 1, are in a similar position, both owned by 3% for this afternoon’s clash.

Meanwhile, Heorhii Sudakov (€4.0m) remains a non-playing option in the bargain defender bracket, although 10% own the Ukrainian.

Ezgjan Alioski (€4.5m) is the only North Macedonian with more than 1% ownership for Matchday 2, currently sat in 3% of squads.

Ukraine XI (4-5-1): Buschan; Mykolenko, Matviyenko, Zabarnyi, Karavaev; Malinovskyi, Zinchenko, Stepanenko, Shaparenko, Yarmolenko; Yaremchuk.

North Macedonia XI (3-4-1-2): Dimitrevski; Musliu, Velkovski, Ristovski; Alioski, Spirovski, Ademi, Nikolov; Bardi; Elmas, Pandev.

    Yarmo 10 points locked in.

    Should have been more.

  2. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Yarmo subbed.... strong 10 points

  3. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Damn Yarmo(C) goes off.

    1. The Reptile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      why is he going off, are they shutting up shop?

      1. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Looked a bit knackered. Hope Ukraine sees it through for him to be motivated for MD3

  4. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Yarmo rested for MD3’s haul

  5. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    yarmilenko off phew

  6. RogDog_jimmy
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Love North Macedonia making a game of this. Super fun now.

  7. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Those who have captained Yarmo, sticking I'd assume?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Think so- Kane/Mbappe would need to score 3 to better

    2. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      yes stick, can't see anyone scoring higher this Matchday.

    3. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yep! But ask me again when France is up.

    4. amplifiedAnt
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yup, with a strong "thank you very much".

      Will take the striker options getting 3 returns to beat that.

    5. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      20 points - twisting is just greedy

    6. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      No more greedy. Hope he ends up as a strong differential captain.

    7. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yes. Twisted from Bale yesterday, but I think the double figure haul will do it.

  8. mezza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Zinchenko on pens

  9. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    bye Ukraine Jimenez

  10. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Yarmolenko stick or twist for Kane/Mbappe?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Think either get 3 returns? Or 2 + win a pen.

    2. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Stick. double figure score for me = stick no matter who plays

    3. dark91
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Same question but I am leaning towards sticking. I sticked with Lukaku last week and saw people who switched getting punished

  11. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Shevchenko trying to close shop with 20 min to go...

  12. dark91
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Just woke up and saw Yarmolenko (c) scored a goal and assist. Opened the game to watch him and boom, off he goes 😀

    It is a stick even with the likes of Mbappe and L.Hernandes right?

    1. dark91
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      And Kane of course still

    2. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      100% a double figure score in day 1/2 for me is a stick

      1. dark91
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Agree 100% thanks
        Mbappe or Kane would need to score 2 to match Yarmolenko for example. They are both capable but not worth taking the risk

  13. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Lol, that drum has seen better days.

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      King mentality. His job is to play the drum, so he'll play the drum no matter what condition, even if it is completely broken haha

      1. BeaversWithAttitude
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Haha. In your face, Roger Taylor!

  14. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    One more please Yarmo(c)!

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Oh he’s subbed

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Heheh

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He's off

    3. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      he's subbed off earlier and already had his shower!

  15. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Yaremchuk captainers are we thinking of sticking or twisting?

    1. buzzkill
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Absolutely sticking. Will bank my 20 points and say thanks a lot. Mbappe should do well vs Hungary but he'd need a hattrick to beat Yarmo and odds are against us.

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yaremchuk

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yaremchuk not Yarmo.

      3. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        hahaha Yaremchuk not Yarmo, if I was a Yarmo C'er I would definitely stick though, nice C choice.

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Certainly not moving the captaincy. I'll add Mbappe score to the 20 points, thank you.

    3. Fifa las vegas
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Twisting for sure, Mbappe

  16. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Malinovskyi is brilliant.

  17. dark91
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    What a miss

  18. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Sheva seems a good manager

  19. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Yarmolenkonan easy captaincy stick, yeah?

    1. dark91
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yup. In the same situation and will be sticking

  20. dark91
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Without cheating, who would you think has recorded the top speed so far at Euro 2020?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Mbappe vs Hummells the other night? Might not have covered enough distance to register though.

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yarmo, on his way to the shower

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Spinazzola. Seen it all over the place.

      But it might actually be Mbappe on that insane run vs Germany.

      1. dark91
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        It's Mr. Spinach indeed

    4. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Absolute lottery of course with loads of quick players but Mbappe’s run against Germany was blistering, so Kylian i’d say

    5. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Portugal?

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Oh speed not seed lol

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          😀

    6. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Robbo?

    7. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Arnautovic, fastest to get suspended...

    8. dark91
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Seen lots of Mbappe mentioned, well, he is not in the top 5 at all 😀

      I think Hummels slowness made Mbappe look extra fast

  21. DrexciyaXI
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    2-1 up and badly need to kill the game off in the last 20 minures with a third or even fourth goal? Taking off your two proven goalscorers in red hot form seems a dumb move. ...And I'm not just saying that because I have them both in my team.

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yarmo wasn't going anywhere. Had to go.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      If they hold out, as they should, and they're fresher for Austria, it ain't the worst decision.

      1. DrexciyaXI
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yarmo would have scored that pen!

    3. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I agree.
      Seems a little weird especially with how well they were linking up.
      Yarmo looked exhausted so I get that one.

  22. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Zinchenko been quiet today unfortunately. Zinchenko and Fernandes punts failed.

  23. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Are the cameras like right next to the boom mics? hahaha

  24. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Zinchenko on pens?

  25. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Is zinchenko on pens?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      No

  26. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Who takes pens for Ukraine? Zinchenko a chance with forwards subbed off?

  27. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Damn pen for Ukraine.

  28. RogDog_jimmy
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Zinch-pen-ko????

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      🙁 not to be.

  29. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Malin deserves a goal today tbf

  30. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Malinovski takes the pen
