If Denmark are to have a successful European Championship this summer, midfield talisman Christian Eriksen (€9.0m) will no doubt play a crucial role. With all set pieces within his domain including penalties, Eriksen is the creative hub within the Danish side and from a goalscoring perspective, they are not to be underestimated, having accumulated a whopping 22 goals in their last seven competitive games. Sharing a group with Belgium in EURO 2020, it is vital that Denmark capitalise on their two fixtures not involving the Red Devils, starting against Finland on Matchday 1.

Meanwhile, Kai Havertz (€9.0m) enters EURO 2020 a hero off the back of netting the only goal for club side Chelsea in their Champions League final tie vs Man City. Despite having not recorded the amount of attacking returns he would have liked to for the Blues over the course of the season, the 21-year-old has scored once for his Germany this year and his Champions League goal will have done wonders for his confidence. However, his place in Joachim Low's starting lineup is not guaranteed following the recall of Thomas Muller and in addition to Germany's difficult Matchday 1 clash with France, this sees us lean towards Eriksen here, who looks a far more enticing fantasy pick.

Verdict: Christian Eriksen
