Euro 2020

Who are the best EURO Fantasy captains to switch to on Day 4 of Matchday 2?

There are three big games on Day 4 of EURO 2020 Fantasy Matchday 2, as we assess the leading contenders for those twisting with the captain’s armband.

Kylian Mbappé (€12.0m) might be the pick of the bunch for France’s clash with Hungary. The Paris Saint-Germain forward was involved in two offside goals against Germany in Matchday 1; scoring one and assisting the other for Karim Benzema (€10.0m).

While Mbappé’s involvement ended up being limited from a statistics perspective, he was a couple of yards away from a massive haul. Opponents Hungary allowed Portugal to shoot 11 times in a 3-0 Matchday 1 loss.

Nine of those shots were taken inside the box, while the Hungarians gave up three big chances (including a penalty). Portugal amassed an ‘expected goals’ figure of 2.52 in that outing.

Spot-kick taker Cristiano Ronaldo (€12.1m) was responsible for four of those goal attempts, all of which were from inside the area. The Juventus hitman was also responsible for each of Portugal’s three big chances.

From a very advanced midfield role, Bruno Fernandes (€10.5m) created more chances (three) and more big chances (two) than any other player on show in that tie.

Portugal assets may be a harder sell than France players, however, as they come up against a Germany defence whose main trouble against the French came in those offside situations.

Joachim Low’s side restricted Didier Deschamps’ men to four shots in total otherwise, with all four from inside the penalty area. Another benefit for players such as Mbappé, Benzema and Antoine Griezmann (€11.0m) is that we will see the France teamsheet before having to lock in our captain choice.

Two popular captain choices in Romelu Lukaku (€11.1m) and Memphis Depay (€10.0m) are both in the ‘twist’ camp after two and six-pointers respectively.

Lukaku impressed against Denmark, playing a pivotal role in both goals without being directly involved in either.

Depay converted an early penalty for Holland but spurned a huge chance later in the match, before exiting the action after 81 minutes.

Anyone lucky enough to have stuck the armband on Andriy Yarmolenko (€8.5m) is likely to stick after a 10-point haul, while Denzel Dumfries (€5.5m) hauled a massive 14 points for the very brave who captained the wing-back.

Meanwhile, anyone who captained Harry Kane (€11.5m) for Friday’s meeting with Scotland has much more freedom with their armband ahead of Day 4 considering his second blank of the tournament.

    So I've just discovered Hernandez on bench and I made my subs already. Do I swap him out for Alba who is on my fantasy bench or stick? ML rivals have Hernandez too and I've already made 2 subs including Hernandez.

      Switch for sure, its last day.

      Switch

      100% - Alba is likely to play, and I'd have him in regardless of the benching of Hernandez

    Captain Ronaldo or Kimpembe?

    Is it worth risk of losing 2 points by replacing Meunier with Hernandez in case comes off bench and grabs assist?

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      You mean like Meunier did? 😉

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Meunier got a goal

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          and...

    2. azz007

      I'm. In same boat. Not subbing him on. Don't think he'll be needed in this game. Tbh

      Same sitch as you lot.

      Let’s all make a pact and stick to the same decision

    Is the selling price of a player different than on FPL ? If I sell 8.2 Schick, I get the full value right ?

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Wow you have him?! Why sell!

      1. Miro
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, had him gw1, then sold on limitless. Now probably keeping, was just curious about the prices.

    2. Milk, 1 Šuker

      Stick man

    3. Bank$y
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I’m late but I’m buying. I concur- why sell now?

      1. Miro
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Just as example for the price question as he rose by 0.2, I'm not selling him most likely.

  5. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Bale (C) to Kane (C) to Ronaldo (C)

    I’m sure it will pay off in the end!

    Is Hernandez on the France bench or not invovled at all?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      bench

        cheers

    captain :
    Mbappe or Pavard?

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Kyls

  8. Bank$y
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Gilmour is looking a great differential for MD3. Croatia are well past their best and he can dominate again and likely create chances.

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Gilmour is a defensive mid. Doesn't create much.

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

      Good player, terrible fantasy asset. Plays similar style and position to Jorginho

  9. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Ronaldo (C), Pogba, Hummels, Pedri and Simon today.
    Could be huge but preparing for disappointment

  10. boc610

    so whose betting Dumfries is nailed on to be in the "wow he's had a great tournament lets buy him for 60million oh wait why isnt as good as he was for Holland in the Euros against mediocre opposition what a waste of money" . there's always one.

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      If he signs for a team who mostly dominate possession he'll be a beast. If he signs for a team who have to defend deep a lot, he could be shown up.

  11. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Griezmann (C) or Mbappe (C)??

  12. Ten Season Wonder
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    L Hernandez worth losing out on 2 points in case he comes on and does something or should I leave him benched?

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Not 4 me

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

      I'm sticking with my 2 pointer..

  13. Joey Tribbiani
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Is Griezmann on pens?

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Think so, him or Pogba

  14. Ten Season Wonder
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Who’s everyone captaining? Mbappe or greizzzzz

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Mbappe would have been my choice

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Going Griez

  15. Subzero (-4)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 9 months ago

    Is the consensus to stay clear of the Dutch? Any news giving and hints about resting players etc or is it just speculation at this stage? I have depay and dumphries currently in wildcard but feel like they are too risky atm?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      All speculation as of now. I have Malen at the moment but probably going to upgrade him as well.

      1. Subzero (-4)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Upgrade him with another Dutch player or just go without any Dutch cover?

        Would you swap depay to muller then for a sure starter if on the wildcard?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Without Dutch

          Yes, I would do that move.

          1. Subzero (-4)
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Nice one Holmes. Appreciate the feedback

  16. ooooo
    • 6 Years

    Captain Alba or Jota?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Alba

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

        Definitely Alba

  17. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    No Digne warm up injury news before I do my subs?

  18. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Any good wildcards out there?

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

      You called:

      Schemeichel, Cakir
      Alba, Gosens, Wass, P.Torres, Wijndal
      KDB, Hazard, Gnabry, Olmo, Berardi
      Muller, Yaremchuk, Malen

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers, worthwhile using it in the group stages?

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Sofonov, Simon
      Rodriguez, Rudiger, Bonucci, Vermalen, TBD
      Gnabry, Yarmolenko, Shaqiri, Olmo, TBD
      Mueller, Yaremchuk, TBD

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
