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.

    Havertz or Gnabry or Hazard?

    1. marcos11
      • 3 Years

      Gnabry for me

    How many transfers do we get during knockout stages

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

      Unlimited before R16 and then 3 Quarters
      5 semi-final
      5 Final

      1. Bonus magnet

        Cheers, so if I WC for MD3 I can still get to do another wildcard (unlimited) for R16
        Basically 2 wildcards ?

        1. RogDog_jimmy

          Yep. Everyone gets the unlimited xfers for the start of group stage.

    WC GTG?

    Donnarumma
    R. Rodriguez, P. Torres, Mings, Toloi
    Yarmolenko, Foden, KDB
    Yaremchuk, Belotti, Malen
    (Hradecky, Gnabry, Gosens, Havertz)

    I'll review Italy lineup before the match and make changes if necessary.

    1. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I like it on the whole but not so keen on the keepers

      1. artvandelay316
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers. Pretty sure Donna plays and can always check in advance. Hradecky just cheap fodder. Alternative is Schmeichel or Olsen and Stekelenberg as sub?

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

      Looks well balanced to me. can see it doing well.

      1. artvandelay316

        Cheers. Feeling quite positive about the squad!

    Is Pau Torres likely to start for Spain next gw? Trying to avoid a WC
    Thanks!

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

      Can’t see why not. He’s a first choice CB.

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

      Yes

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

    Is Havertz or Gnabry the better option? Money isn't a factor.

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

      Havertz looked better to me. But I could see either doing well.

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

        Thanks, the issue is that Gnabry is probably due a goal

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

          Yeah for one game stats only mean so much. Chances fall randomly wherever. Get both?

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

            This question is based on my Fanteam, where I only have 1 free transfer for one of them.

  8. 03farmboy

    What are people going do with Pau Torres and Ferran Torres’s?

    Best replacements?

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

      You don't think P. Torres will start next week? Trying to figure this out.
      Thanks

      1. 03farmboy
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I think he will start but unsure if they keep a clean sheet

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

          Thank you.

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

        What do you think Denayer's chances of starting are Farmboy?

        1. 03farmboy
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          50/50 unsure

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

      Why replace?

      1. 03farmboy
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Think they are better options than Spain defence and f.torres might not even start

  9. marcos11
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Best striker on LL3? Currently have Belotti and Depay/Malen. Looking at

    a) Ronaldo (regardless of fixture)
    b) Lewa
    c) Morata
    d) Other?

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

      Got to fancy a France one with that crap Portugese defence

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

      No idea. Semedo at right back against Mbappe could be interesting. I like Braithwaite too, or even dare I say it... Harry Edward Kane (more as a punt and captain option)

    3. azz007
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Ronaldo

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

    Perisic best 8.5m and under mid for MD3 (except Yarmolenko)?

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

      Forsberg?
      Whichever of Berardi or Locatelli starts (or both, or a cheap Italian who starts).

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

        Yeh beradi or loca be cheaper alternatives if start ?! Means I can get Meunier if pick them too

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

          I’m hoping to get 2x cheap attacking Italians. Whoever they are.
          Let me get KDB, Hazard, Ronaldo (maybe), Havertz

          Going to be a fun hour before the game starts playing around.

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

            Italy are gonna change half of their team I would avoid them. Wales also have one of the best defence in this tournament.

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

              I don’t know if I agree about Wales. But more the point is Italy, at home, with players trying to prove their place.
              If I can get two sub-6.0 attacking players for them that’s awesome to enable more money elsewhere. And because we know who will be playing it works out.

              Just my thoughts though.

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

                Yeh agree on your strategy

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

              Yes agree wales will make it hard but can see Italy scoring but maybe 1-0 or 1-1 and Italian mids good value if start

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

            Currently on pessina as only 6m but will change if not playing. I like all those inc ronaldo but not sure on hazz given price?

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

      Yes

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

        Thanks

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

      Kimmich for 6m is looking like a good option too imo, looked very lively against Portugal, can't see it being any different vs a Hungary side playing away for the first time

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

        Thanks fricky - guess that means 3 x Germans could be way to go?

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

          Absolutely

    LL2 got me 33pts total.... 🙁

    Hopefully the chip doesn’t come to FPL 😀

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

      Ouch. Bad luck.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Malinovsky over Yarmolenko, Wijnaldum over Depay, no Dumfries

        Otherwise pretty template
