Euro 2016 Fantasy Tips – Quarter Finals

Midfielders

Dmitri Payet is my first midfielder for the quarter finals. He has been carrying France in this tournament and should be amongst the goals in the last 8 as well.

Between De Bruyne and Hazard, it is very difficult to call as to who would be on the scoresheet, so I’ll have to go with De Bruyne as he has been in form all through this season.

Draxler has been in brilliant form since getting into the starting XI for Germany, he terrorized the Slovakian defecne in the last game and though he won’t be able to do that to the Italian defence, it is worth taking a gamble as he comes in for just 6.5 million and gets to play the full 90 minutes.

Portugal’s defence has been leaky. They haven’t gelled well together and a few injuries in defence and midfield would cause more problems for them. And because of this I bring in one attacking midfielder from Poland. Blaszczykowski will be that midfielder. He has been threatening in the group stages and should be able to carve through the Portuguese defence. Get him in!

Nainggolan is my last midfielder for this game. Belgium should be able to go through against Wales as they have a well-rounded side.

Nainggolan has proven to be a great find for Belgium in this Euro 2016. He has diligently supported De Bruyne and Hazard by assisting and scoring a goal in this campaign, He is a great value for money buy, get him in!
