Portugal vs France on July 11th

              Portugal have lost their last 10 matches against France. They are complete underdogs going into Sunday's final and will need Cristiano Ronaldo to produce some magic for them to have any realistic chance of stopping the hosts from winning Euro 2016. France are into the final after they beat World Champions Germany 2-0 and they look unstoppable going forward with Antoine Griezmann through the middle. Didier Deschamps' men are the clear favorites and shouldn't be threatened by what Portugal possess. Their downfall could be if they let the pressure get to them but this France squad looks unified and mentally stronger compared to French squads at major tournaments in times gone by.          

              Best economical pick – The Barcelona’s defender Samuel Umtiti has got a chance to start against Iceland in the quarter-final in the absence of Adil Rami. He has been impressive and got another start against Germany in the semis. His rock solid defense made sure that there weren’t any errors. He is a decent pick against this Portugal attack available at salary 7.

              Top captains & vice captains – The Atletico Madrid’s super man Antoine Griezmann has been unstoppable in this Euros. He is coming back from an excellent performance against Germans where he has scored a brace. Griezmann has 6 goals and 2 assists to his name and he would fancy his chances against Portugal. Whereas, The Real Madrid’s striker Cristiano Ronaldo is peaking at the right time, his 1 goal and 1 assist against Wales proved match winning and helped Portugal secure a final berth after 12 years. He has 3 goals and 3 assists in this Euros so far and keen to score against France even though it’s difficult to sneak into this France’ defense.

              Smart pick –   The Arsenal’s forward Olivier Giroud had a wonderful game against Iceland by scoring 2 goals and giving 1 assist. Looks like he has got into that goal scoring form again. He can be a good grab for your fantasy team.

              Be careful –   The Sporting Club’s Goal Keeper Rui Patricio has been the savior for Portugal in this Euros so far. He already had 3 clean sheets to his name. But against this brutal France attack he wouldn’t be a wise choice for your team.

              My XI – Antoine Griezmann (Captain), Cristiano Ronaldo (Vice-Captain), Patrice Evra, Raphael Guerreiro, Samuel Umtiti, Dimitri Payet, Paul Pogba, Olivier Giroud, Hugo Lloris (GK), Renato Sanches, Joao Mario.
