Ferran Torres benched as €4.0m defender Puchacz starts for Poland

Ferran Torres (€8.0m) finds himself on the bench as Spain play their second match of EURO 2020.

The Manchester City man drops out of the line-up to be replaced by Gerard Moreno (€6.5m) as Luis Enrique persists with a 4-3-3 formation.

That shape means Dani Olmo (€7.0m) retains his starting berth on the other flank, with Alvaro Morata (€9.0m) through the middle.

Torres’ namesake Pau Torres (€4.5m) earns a second successive start alongside Aymeric Laporte (€6.0m) at centre-back in front of goalkeeper Unai Simón (€5.0m).

Poland have made some changes of their own, one of which includes €4.0m defender Tymoteusz Puchacz (€4.0m) coming in for Maciej Rybus (€5.0m) at left wing-back.

Spain XI: Simón; Alba, P Torres, Laporte, Llorente; González, Rodri, Koke; Olmo, Morata, Moreno.

Poland XI: Szczesny; Bednarek, Glik, Bereszynski; Puchacz, Moder, Klich, Jozwiak; Zielinski, Swiderski; Lewandowski.

    Time to ditch Torres?

    At least we know which of the big teams are unlikely to rotate now:

    England, Spain, France, Germany and Portugal.

    Italy, Belgium and Netherlands can afford to rest players.

      Only Germany & Spain players worth considering for Fantasy though.

        Sorry the performance of semedo down the right makes Mbappé a must

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

          Over ronaldo?

            2 years, 9 months ago

            I would say so, Germany took off their best players at 4-1 which gave Portugal the chance

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

              Been burnt by Mbappe over ronaldo today today so bit reluctant to pick him again

    MD3 rate my WC team thnx

    Simón | Safonov
    Vermalen | Gosens | Rodriguez | Dumfries | Torres
    Havertz(4)| E Hazard | KDB(2)| Sabitzer | Locatelli
    Embolo(1) | Isak | Adams(3)

    1. Louis99
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Like it, love the Embolo shout he's my first capatin too. I'd have malinovyski or yarmo in for Sabitzer though personally.

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      You think Dumfries plays?

    3. Avery
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Thanks for the feedback above.
      Been tweaking again! Ha

      Simón | Safonov
      Vermalen | Gosens | Rodriguez | Toloi | Torres
      Havertz(4)| E Hazard | KDB(2)| Ramsey | Phillips
      Embolo(1) | Morata | Adams(3)

      Drafting again. I’ll keep this until get confirmation of Italy lineup. But seen Toloi tipped to start.

  5. Karan14

    Have 0.5m left for upgrades on my WC

    A) Vermaelen ➡️ Meunier
    B) Malen ➡️ G.Moreno

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

      A for me mate.

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Leaning towards that. Malen & Meunier have the higher ceiling. Cheers mate!

    2. King Kohli
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Do you think Meunier starts?

      I've heard T.Hazard is ruled out so could still be Carrasco/Chadli as wing backs

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I think with Castagne injury and T.Hazard out, Meunier plays

      2. methos
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Thorgan Hazard is 100% out - confirmed by Martinez in the news. Chadli is doubtful. Was also mentioned in the same news flash.

    3. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      A

  6. dalexp

    Once the limtless chip is played, can you make transfers after the first games of the match day have been played? So, after the Sunday games, can I transfer out players who scored poorly or did not play, for players who are playing Monday, then do the same for Tuesday etc etc

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      You wish

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

        would be a much better chip if you could

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

          A chip allowing you to have 70 scoring players instead of 11 would also be a much better chip

    2. Avery
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Nope mate

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

      Haha. No.

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

    Could be very different Italian team tomorrow- at least we get to see lineup before the deadline

    https://football-italia.net/italy-test-seven-changes-with-wales

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Italy (probable): G Donnarumma; Toloi, Acerbi, Bastoni, Emerson; Cristante, Jorginho, Verratti; Bernardeschi, Belotti, Pessina

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

    Belloti or Isak on WC?

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Probably Belotti if he starts

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

        Don't fancy Isak against Poland?

        1. Dash444
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          I’ve gone for Isak….but still looking at options.

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

    Need a 6m midfielder , seen Matteo Pessina is romoured to start v wales ? Is he worth getting?!

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Will probably only start tomorrow’s game though.

  10. Grounderz

    Folks, seems a lot of people are playing their WC in MD3. Conscious the number of transfers given at KO stages but am curious on the rationale behind playing WC in MD3.

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Same.

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

      Team needs it now and more chance to differentiate with teams rotating and get points in the bag. By QF teams will probably be pretty similar

    3. dirtmcgirt
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Necessity. Netherlands and Italy are through and I played Limitless so need to do it unfortunately

  11. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Wijndal or Maehle?

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

      Surely Wijndal gets this game but for security of start Maehle. (I am going Wijndal)

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah Wijndal should get this game.

    2. Dash444
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I’ve got both which allows more cash upfront.

  12. Tic Tacs
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Actually scored less points with my Limitless chip team than my Matchday 1 team! Should’ve waited til Matchday 3, typical.

  13. Louis99
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    What's the thinking behind the KDB/Hazard double up - a lot of funds for potentially two non-starters

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

      Martinez confirmed they both need gametime and will start

      1. Louis99
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I see... maybe too tempting to resist, but the team I have drafted right now will take quite the hit!

    2. Avery
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      “Vermaelen will play, just like Boyata against Russia and Denayer against Denmark. It remains to be seen how Lukaku recovers. Players who are tired can start on the bench. Witsel, De Bruyne and Hazard will all start”

      Quote from Roberto Martinez being reported by Belgium's media

  14. OLD Rafiki
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    After what I did to my team, I feel like I'm not worth commenting anything here.

  15. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    WC if my frontline is Depay, Kane and Lukaku?

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

      Yes

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

    On WC

    A Perisic
    B Yarmolenko

    1. Louis99
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      If you've got Yaremchuk I'd probably go Perisic, otherwise a coin toss

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      If you need a Day 3 captain Perisic otherwise Yarmo.

      I've ditched both on my WC for KDB Haz Havertz Gnabry midfield. Ukraine can be covered with Yaremchuk upfront.

  17. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years

    sell Ferran Torres or Wijinajdum?

  18. ivantys

  22. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Spinazola, Berardi and insigne all benched tomorrow?

    1. Avery
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Strong possibility reports the press

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

      I wouldn't even pick their defence if more than half of their team get rested.

  23. Moxon
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Muller + Olmo vs Moreno + Gnabry?

    1. Avery
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      2nd pick

    2. Z
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Coin flip

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

      Not Muller

    4. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Moreno + Gnabry

  24. Z
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Netherland, Belgium and Italy will reat all players....right?

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

      Doubt all, keepers may play but should be mass rotation.

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

    Gerard Moreno 6.5m going right in my MD3 basket.

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

      Not with that finishing

  26. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Yaremchuk or G.Moreno?

  27. las90855

  28. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years

    Is the actual price and selling price of the player same in this game?

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

      Yep

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years

        Cheers mate

  29. My heart goes Salalalalah

    1. ivantys
