Ronaldo backers in last chance for Matchday 2 captain haul

All eyes are on Cristiano Ronaldo (€12.1m) as Portugal face Germany on the last day of EURO Fantasy Matchday 2.

The talismanic forward is owned by 31% of managers at this stage of the competition, many of whom will have turned to him with their captain’s armband.

After blanks for Romelu Lukaku (€11.1m), Harry Kane (€11.5m) and Kylian Mbappé (€12.0m), the scene could be set for Ronaldo to deliver.

However, Ruben Dias (€6.0m) is the most fashionable Fantasy asset in this encounter, currently sat in 36% of squads.

Despite Ronaldo’s role in penalties, 22% of managers have taken Bruno Fernandes (€10.5m) into Matchday 2, the same number who own mid-priced midfielder Joshua Kimmich (€6.0m).

The Germany international appears to be deployed at right wing-back today, on the opposite flank to Robin Gosens (€5.0m), who is classified as a defender.

13% of those playing UEFA’s game appear to be backing Germany to keep things tight with Manuel Neuer (€6.0m) the joint fifth-most-owned player in this fixture. Antonio Rüdiger (€5.5m) is also owned by the same number of managers.

Portugal XI: Rui Patrício; Guerreiro, Dias, Pepe, Semedo; Carvalho, Danilo; Jota, B Fernandes, B Silva; Ronaldo.

Germany XI: Neuer; Rüdiger, Hummels, Ginter; Gosens, Kroos, Gündogan, Kimmich; Gnabry, Havertz; Gnabry.

    Gnabry looks a lot like Adama Traore coz of his fast pace and body built. Nice lad!

  4. Red Devil Swede
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Mbappe, Kane, Gnabry - not a lot of points from them really

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I think goose & havertz enough

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

      Same for me - have Gosens and Havertz. Not sure who would be third?

    3. ivantys
      • 3 Years

      Gnabry. Muller doesn't do fantasy points.

    4. KGFC

      Just hope Germany doesn't do a France with Hungary 😉

    It's all fun and games until someone plays Germany.

  7. JONALDINHO

    If only I had gone Hernandez over Pavard and I’d get Gosens off the bench

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Oh ffs the pain I’m feeling only gets worse

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

      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

  15. Pukki Blinders

    How awful is Semedo though... he was a major part of the problem in all 4 goals conceded

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

      He's a liability for Wolves too, can't believe Portugal don't have better cover for Cancelo than Semedo

    Damn. Portugal destroyed.

    Portugal vs France will be a draw to allow Germany, Portugal, France to all qualify?

  17. KGFC
    • 7 Years

        2 years, 9 months ago

        He was the first player in my team since the game went live.
        Never left.
        I'll keep him in my LL3 team too.

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

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

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

  23. nikornla
    • 7 Years

  24. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

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

    Vermalen, KDB, Hazard
    Gosens, Havertz, Gnabry

    Fill in the rest...

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years

      Why not Meunier?

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

    Don’t remember seeing him play vs France this Goose guy

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

    Gosens goal record for Atalanta is insane for a wingback

  28. grooveymatt65
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    yesss kimmich!

  29. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years

    This LLMD3 template shaping up nicely

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

    Too bad Kimmich isn't registered as a defender.

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

      First thing I looked up after the assist.

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

        He was man of the match imo in their last game vs France. France were freaking lucky that game, one stupid deflated OG.
