Euro 2024 Fantasy: Who is most likely to get Player of the Match?

I like articles 51 and 54 mineself.

Bet against Mbappe.

Gakpo or Morata to Ronaldo

Looks good. Only thing to bear in mind is (potentially) having 7 players in Spain v Germany means you're booking in almost of all your SF transfers on the loser of that game, so maybe you want to take out a defender or 2 next round or just make sure you're happy sticking with the rest of your QF picks for the SFs. France beating Portugal would make things particularly tricky for you

Definitely safer to minimise hits after round of 16. Probably less points potential because some teams have top dogs with more potential and only 1 MOTM per game. Could be worth a few punts like Romania dog getting you 10 points for 4 points to sell him if they lose.

Dimarco was initially the favourite as an attacking wing back but Bastoni looking the better option. Looks to be a danger on set pieces and also gets a lot of ball recoveries.

“Denmark look very good” not sure I agree with that. They couldn’t beat Serbia or Slovenia.

Find it hard to disagree with the predictions given in this article:
https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/jun/28/euro-2024-last-16-tie-by-tie-analysis

Not sure Denmark look that great but agree Spain v Georgia might be closer than some think. Wouldn't be surprised if Georgia score in 1st minute again and then Spain spend the entire game grinding them down for a 2-1/3-2 win. Mamardashvili's performance will be key.

SWI v ITA - cagey & close, like defenders from either side. Find it tough to call so I'm taking Akanji & Bastoni. Could go to pens but I'll plump for 1-0 to the Swiss.

GER v DEN - the relative fixture difficulty puts a question mark over double Germany attack for me. Rudiger & Tah absences could cost them the CS but I still expect Germany to edge them out, maybe 2-1.

ENG v SVK - predictably dull but don't really see Slovakia causing much trouble. 1-0.

SPA v GEO - best fixture to attack, I keep trying to crowbar Morata, Williams & Yamal into my team. But I agree that Georgia have enough in attack to bust the CS. 4-1.

FRA v BEL - Belgium are massively overrated imo. Even if France attack isn't quite clicking I still see a comfortable 2-0. Going with Maignan, Koundé, Mbappé.

POR v SVN - not too sure about this one tbh. Only saw Slovenia full game v Serbia & they gave up plenty of chances, but Portugal aren't quite convincing me yet. Treading lightly with just Bruno I think. 1-0.

NED v ROM - hint of an upset here, but I think the Dutch quality in attack will see them through. Agree that they look shaky defensively though. 2-1

AUS v TUR - should be a fun game, maybe the most open of the round (alongside SPA v GEO). Baumgartner & Sabitzer among the first names in my draft, really like the way Austria are playing. 3-1

Too much Portugal on final day. I’d consider Cancelo to Theo. France defence at least has looked solid enough and he is just as attacking as Cancelo

See how round of 16 goes before hitting WC. SF means you won't be bothered if some QF players don't progress but they could still do well for you. 3 min per team in SF WC and just 11 to pick with 5 FT and lineups known before Final deadline should be doable to have 11 starters for final.

I would say too much Portugal but since you have WC to use you are ok for a POR vs FRA QF. I don't have the WC anymore so I am not daring to pick too many Portugal players

morata and rodri

I'd go the other way Count

Gakpo and Rodri.

For me Morata and Ruiz

Kounde, not sure Cucurella is 100% nailed since Grimaldo also looked good

Kounde. Is Carvajal worth the extra though?

Lovely team. Good luck predicting results after the few upsets in group games. Hedging on Spain good for getting players through is good but I'd spread the teams a bit. Maybe a few punts in early in MD games. Bellingham looks off it a bit though. Palmer has more potential if Southgate wakes up.

I'd probably swap one of your Spanish players for a German to hedge your bets a bit. Otherwise good.

The entire Romanian midfield!

Have seen only one half of Euros and that was Turkey vs Portugal. Akgun(RW) could be worth a shot for a bottom half team.

Got the same front three, I like the austrian mids.

I just transferred bellingham for Palmer and Wirtz for Sabitzer

Very hard!

Thanks

Extra time counts

Depends which game you're playing.

I'm playing bet365 and extra time doesn't count.

Pen save

No, you CANNOT switch pal.
