McDonalds Euro 2016 fantasy football tips – 4 players who could hurt you if you don’t own them

Euro 2016

Anyone who comes to the site regularly will know that I do focus on ownership as a way of preventing ranking drops.  Obviously if someone who is owned by a high percentage of managers scores the you are going to drop in rank.  In a short tournament this is even more of a risk.  So in this article we look at 4 attacking players with over 30% ownership and assess the risk of not having them in your team

McDonalds Euro 2016 fantasy football tips – 4 players who could hurt you if you don’t own them

Muller Fwd £10.5m 35% ownership

Probably everyone’s favourite for the golden boot in a team that are 2nd favourite to win the Euro’s.  Not in my team so why especially when I’m generally a conservative manager.  I’ve taken the gamble of putting in Gotze at £9.0m as a midfielder who could play upfront as a false nine as my German representation.  Muller is likely to play on the right and drift in to scoring positions.  That has allowed me to get in Ronaldo and Lewandoski who both have good games to start with but still have German representation as well as saving cash..  Germany’s games will be stressful for me though

Griezmann Fwd £10.0m 34% ownership

The French player has been fantastic for A Madrid this season.  He will probably play behind Giroud at £8.5m who I’m going for as a replacement for him.  I generally prefer my striker to be the most advanced.  This is the case for Giroud and he also saves some cash.

Pogba Mid £8.5m 46% ownership

The box to box young star is the highest owned player in the game.  I’ve gone Martial with probably put Payet £8.0m as the reserve if when the team comes out Martial isn’t in it.  I prefer Payet due to set pieces and a more advanced position.  Cash isn’t the issue.

Alli Mid £6.5m 32% ownership

Alli seems great value to me.  There’s no guarantee he will play in his CAM position for Spurs but there has to be some chance given his relationship with Harry Kane.  It’s likely he will be in my final team
