PLAYERS OF INTEREST

GOALKEEPER

Yann Sommer, SWI v. FRA: France only need a point to finish atop the group, so there's little reason for them to try to pulverize the Swiss, who shut out Albania in their opening match and allowed on goal to Romania on a penalty. Granted, France are significantly better than those two sides, but the save number alone could make Sommer, the cheapest starting keeper on the slate, pay off.

DEFENDER

Ansi Agolli, ALB v. ROM: Agolli's game log looks a bit weird, as he sent in seven crosses in their opening match against Switzerland but then only had one in their next match against France. The explanation is as simple as "he had to defend more against the French," and with a Romanian side that isn't nearly as strong, he should be able to cross more.

Fabian Schar, SWI v. FRA: Peripheral stats allow us to forget about clean sheets when picking fantasy defenders, and Schar offers some nice salary savings despite his role as a centerback. He's shown to be a solid weapon on set pieces, putting a shot on goal in back-to-back matches, and he has three tackles and five interceptions over that span. He's not going to wow anyone, but he could see more interceptions and tackles while trying to keep France out, and his salary is fairly low.

Ricardo Rodriguez, SWI v. FRA: On the one hand, France are likely to attack enough that Rodriguez won't be able to move up the field and cross a ton. On the other hand, if there's a weakness on the French squad, it's their fullbacks, which means Rodriguez could be asked to attack them there whenever Switzerland get the ball. His salary is far from cheap, but he happens to play in a position that could be used to attack France's biggest weakness.

MIDFIELDER

Gabriel Torje, ROM v. ALB: You're going to see a ton of people stacking Romanian players given their matchup against Albania, and Torje could be the highest owned after he took almost all of their corners in their matchup against Switzerland, when he finished with nine crosses, one shot on goal and two tackles won.

Ermir Lenjani, ALB v. ROM: It's tough to get a good read on Albania, whose first two matches came against the toughest teams in the group (in fairness, the same applies to Romania). While Romania are still heavily favored, the Albanians aren't going to just roll over, and grabbing the player with the safest floor at a fairly reduced price can set up big pieces elsewhere.

Dimitri Payet, FRA v. SWI: Payet has run wild over Romania and Albania, and while Switzerland certainly bring more to the table, France are still heavily favored and Payet figures to be closely involved in whatever scoring takes place.

Ledian Memushaj, ALB v. ROM: Memushaj didn't play in Albania's opening match against Switzerland, but he was a force against France, finishing with four shots, three crosses, three fouls drawn and an interception. Up against a weaker opponent in Romania, he could really pay off his fairly reduced salary.

FORWARD

Kingsley Coman, FRA v. SWI: Coman moved into the starting lineup for France's game against Albania and played fairly well, finishing with two shots, four crosses, four fouls drawn and an interception in 68 minutes. He's a solid fantasy option if he gets the start, though I'm not convinced he and Anthony Martial will keep their places ahead of Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann given the importance of the match.

Bogdan Stancu, ROM v. ALB: Game log watchers will see goals against France and Switzerland and think that this time around against Albania should be easier, and while that's definitely the case, it's worth noting that both goals came from the penalty spot. Nevertheless, Stancu has taken multiple shots in each game and leads the line for a Romanian side that is favored to win.
