The first of three European Championship matches today gets underway at 14:00 BST in Cologne: Hungary v Switzerland.

It’s the second Group A encounter following Germany’s win over Scotland last night.

It’s a match of limited Fantasy interest, although Hungary’s Dominik Szoboszlai is owned by 18% of managers in the official game.

The Liverpool midfielder starts as expected for his national side.

There are no huge shocks with the Hungary team, with Peter Gulacsi getting the nod over Denes Dibusz between the sticks.

The big team news from the Switzerland camp is that Xherdan Shaqiri is only among the substitutes.

TEAM NEWS

Hungary XI (3-4-2-1) Gulacsi; Lang, Orban, A Szalai; Fiola, A Nagy, Schafer, Kerkez; Sallai, Szoboszlai; B Varga.

Subs: Dibusz, Szappanos, Balogh, Nego, Adam, Bolla, Kleinheiser, Gazdag, Styles, Z Nagy, Botka, Csoboth, Dardai, Horvath, Kata.

Switzerland XI (3-4-2-1) Sommer; Schar, Akanji, Rodriguez; Widmer, Xhaka, Freuler, Ndoye; Aebsicher, Vargas; Duah.

Subs: Mvogo, Kobel, Stergiou, Elvedi, Embolo, Okafor, Steffen, Zesiger, Sierro, Shaqiri, Jashari, Amdouni, Rieder.

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        1. jacob1989

          1 year, 6 months ago

          I stuck with wirtz. Won't be that many getting well above 10 pts

          1. PartyTime
            • 4 Years
            1 year, 6 months ago

            Yeah not many but history has taught me to twist especially in group stage. I will likely get the 10 pts or more from Ronaldo.

    Should be disallowed for littering

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Saved his bacon picking it up!

  5. Travel Notes

    End of.

    Orban has been absolutely shocking all game..

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      12 recovered balls, ends up on 5 points.

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        That should give him a Livescore rating of 8.1 out 10, for those recovered balls alone.

  7. Scapegoat Salah

    If Grimaldo doesn’t come off bench would Aebischer auto sub in?

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Only if you own Aebischer, among other conditions

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        What other conditions? I’ve made one manual sub already

    2. Travel Notes
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      And don't use all your other subs.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Ah damn already made one

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      You can't make any subs for autosubs to kick in. So you'd lose all your bench this matchday.

    4. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Only if u dont do manual subs.
      But why would u bench aebischer? U need to bench players from last 2 gamedays

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Thought he was fodder, didn’t know who he was

        1. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          Bold way to play the game

        2. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          Play everyone you have no matter how they are rated. Sub them later if they don't do well.

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 6 months ago

            Assumed there was a limit to subs

            1. GreennRed
              • 14 Years
              1 year, 6 months ago

              You've plenty of time, just two games in. Put any players playing later in the matchday on the bench for any players you have left to play earlier.

    So far from 'winning it', Hungary were played out of the Kölner Park. https://travelnotes.org/worldcup/european/Euro2024/index.htm

        Well done on being the first person I've seen to pick a Slovenian player!

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          Scores the odd goal, group isn't too bad. But boredom was more of a motivator. Rarely a good thing!

          1. panda07
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            1 year, 6 months ago

            Fair play, I hope he does well for you! When punts like that come in, it makes it all worthwhile!

    Interesting xhaka man of match.. who precisely did nothing

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Did more than me in the past 2 hours

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Does need attacking returns to influence a game.
