Sarabia and Ferran Torres start alongside Morata in Spain’s front three

Pablo Sarabia (€6.7m) and Ferran Torres (€8.1m) both retain their places for Spain’s quarter-final clash against Switzerland this afternoon.

Luis Enrique has serious depth at his disposal in those wing positions and despite both players scoring against Croatia, Dani Olmo (€7.0m) did impress off the bench with two assists in that extra-time victory.

Fantasy bosses will be pleased that the pair remain in situ, with Sarabia (21%) ever so slightly more popular than Ferran Torres (20%). They join Alvaro Morata (€9.1m) in attack.

Spain’s midfield three also remains the same but another highly-selected Fantasy asset in Pau Torres (€4.7m) is brought back in at centre-half in place of Eric Garcia (€4.6m).

Enrique’s only other change is the instant recall of Jordi Alba (€6.2m) at left-back, where Jose Gaya (€5.0m) took over in the round of 16. Unai Simon (€5.2m) is between the sticks.

For Switzerland, captain Granit Xhaka (€6.0m) is suspended so Xherdan Shaqiri (€7.4m) takes the armband.

Swiss head coach Vladimir Petkovic’s only change from the 3-3 draw with France is to replace Xhaka with Denis Zakaria (€4.9m). Switzerland won that tie on penalties after extra-time.

After Shaqiri at 14%, the next most-selected Swiss asset is the 5%-owned Haris Seferovic (€8.7m). The aerial threat scored two headers against the French on Monday.

Steven Zuber (€7.1m) has four assists to his name in EURO 2020, three of which came against Turkey in Matchday 3.

Yann Sommer (€5.0m) will guard the net once more after his penalty-saving heroics against France.

Switzerland XI (3-4-1-2): Sommer; Rodriguez, Akanji, Elvedi; Zuber, Freuler, Zakaria, Widmer; Shaqiri; Embolo, Seferovic.

Spain XI (4-3-3): Simon; Alba, P Torres, Laporte, Azpilicueta; Pedri, Busquets, Koke; Sarabia, Morata, F Torres.

Got Alba, how it can it not be an assist if it’s not a goal?!

  I love planning for fixture runs (cause I’m sad) but rotation almost always goes out of the window the minute I see who looks like value in defence.
  
  Don’t think I’ve ever considered it post GW1. Pre-GW1 I am all over it!

Alba's shot was clearly on target! And not even an assist! No wonder there's been so many OG's in this tournament. Clowns.

I think people are being deceived by Alba's shot due to the camera angles. The shot takes two deflections, not one. It looks on target before hitting Zakaria, but that's only due to the first deflection. It's a bit unfair to give an own goal to Zakaria though.

That shot was right in the middle of the goal. It was deflected by Zakaria to one of the sides.

  Own goal would be awarded by the referee, so it won't have anything to do with a fantasy football game. The FF game will follow the official verdict. It was probably given as an own goal a Zakaria deliberately went to play the ball rather than it ricocheting off him.
  
  The only decision the game has got wrong is awarding points for players not completing 60 mintes. This has happened twice in two games for Denmark.
  
  Benzemas assist was not given as it wasn't a rebound off a defender. Pogba controlled the ball before shooting.

    You think the on field referee awarded it as an OG and that’s why it stands as an OG ?

      I would think either the on field referee or another match official. I assume it was given as an own goal as Zakaria tried to play the ball rather than if deflecting off him. There aren't any rules about when to award an own goal so there is probably some inconsistency in variaous games. The FF game will follow the official reports which are here:

How can there be different rules for whether a goal is a goal or an og depending on the competition ? Surely there should be an industry standard for all rules.
Yes I have Alba (c) but still…

  I can’t see the point of City players bar Emerson, such a headache.
  
  I dunno about the strike force. It seems weak but other than Kane, who else is there?
