The Best Budget, Mid-Priced and Premium Euros Fantasy Players To Own In Group D

Group D presents a tantalizing mix of players, from high-priced superstars to hidden gems. Whether you’re after explosive forwards, dynamic midfielders, or solid defenders, this group has it all. Let’s delve into the top fantasy picks from Group D that should be on your radar.

Players to Consider

Kylian Mbappé (FWD, €11.0m) 🇫🇷

Kylian Mbappé is the most popular player in the fantasy game, and for good reason. With 27 goals in Ligue 1 this season, he is a force to be reckoned with. Mbappé will take penalties and has the potential to haul in any group game. While he may not be deemed essential, going without him could be a risky move.

Theo Hernandez (DEF, €5.5m) 🇫🇷

Theo Hernandez is France’s second-best fantasy option. Known for his forward runs, Hernandez scored 5 goals and provided 4 assists in Serie A this season. He replicates this attacking role for the national team, and with France’s formidable defense, it’s no surprise that he’s one of the most selected defenders.

Olivier Giroud (FWD, €8.0m) 🇫🇷

If Mbappé’s price tag is too steep, Olivier Giroud offers a budget-friendly alternative. Giroud had a solid season with AC Milan and, while not the focal point of the French attack, he consistently contributes. With defenses focused on Mbappé, Giroud could exploit the space and opportunities created.

Brice Samba (GK, €4.5m) 🇫🇷

With Mike Maignan struggling with injury, Brice Samba could emerge as an excellent budget goalkeeper option. While using a valuable French spot for a goalkeeper might not be ideal, Samba provides great value if Maignan is unavailable for the tournament.

Antoine Griezmann (FWD, €9.0m) 🇫🇷

Antoine Griezmann, listed as a forward, is less enticing than if he were a midfielder. Despite this, he remains a threat with 16 league goals this season. However, with many strong forward options, he may not be the first choice for many fantasy managers.

Denzel Dumfries (DEF, €5.5m) 🇳🇱

Denzel Dumfries was a fantasy sensation in the last Euros. Despite increased competition from Jeremie Frimpong, Dumfries is likely to be the first-choice right wing-back for the Netherlands, especially in a four-at-the-back formation. His attacking potential makes him a favorite pick once again.

Virgil Van Dijk (DEF, €6.0m) 🇳🇱

At €6.0m, Virgil Van Dijk is a premium defender, but his potential to take penalties significantly boosts his appeal. Known for his threat from set pieces and likely Man of the Match performances, Van Dijk could accumulate substantial points throughout the tournament.

Cody Gakpo (FWD, €7.5m) 🇳🇱

Predicting the minutes for Dutch attackers is challenging, but Cody Gakpo seems to be Koeman’s go-to forward. With potential corner duties and being the primary goal outlet for the Netherlands, Gakpo is a promising pick at €7.5m.

Michael Gregoritsch (FWD, €6.5m) 🇦🇹

An underrated option, Michael Gregoritsch has not been prolific in the Bundesliga but finds himself in scoring positions for Austria. After netting a hat trick in a recent friendly, he’s shown he can deliver big points if on form. He may also take penalties.

Przemysław Frankowski (DEF, €4.5m) 🇵🇱

Przemysław Frankowski, playing as a wing-back for Poland, is an intriguing budget pick. With goals in two of the last three friendlies and a decent season for Lens, he stands out among Polish players. While generally, Poland assets are avoidable, Frankowski offers potential value at €4.5m.
