      Dream Team Euros: Netherlands’ top stars, bargain options & players to avoid

      by

      THERE’S little room for error in Group D at Euro 2024 with the Netherlands up against Poland, France and Austria.The Oranje took on Didier Deschamps’ side during qualifying and didn’t fare all that well, losing 4-0 in Paris and 2-1 in Amsterdam.Be that as it may, Ronald Koeman has some talented players at his disposal this summer and Dream Team Euros managers will understandably be tempted to back some Dutch assets once the action is underway, especially as their most-favourable fixture (Poland) comes in Matchday 1.With that in mind, let’s analyse Netherlands’ top stars, bargain options and players to avoid.PLAY DREAM TEAM EUROS NOW – £50,000 PRIZE POT, FREE TO PLAY, GREAT FUN!Netherlands are strong in defence… on paperCredit: Dream TeamTOP STARSThe eye is drawn first and foremost to Netherlands’ wealth of centre-back options.Virgil van Dijk (£5m) and Nathan Ake (£4m) are the absolute bankers with Micky van de Ven (£3.5m), Matthijs de Ligt (£4m), Stefan de Vrij (£3m) and Lutesharel Geertruida (£3m) competing for minutes elsewhere.Jurrien Timber and Sven Botman would both have been strong contenders too had they not suffered the misfortune of injuries this season.Koeman also has a nice problem at right wing-back where both Denzel Dumfries (£4.5m) and Jeremie Frimpong (£4m) are appealing selections.Most read in FootballThe former was among the most prolific assist providers across the continent during qualifying but the latter is coming off the back of an impressive campaign with Bayer Leverkusen.There have been hints that Frimpong may play in a more advanced position so that both he and Dumfries can play in tandem – this eventuality would make him a hugely tempting option for Dream Team bosses as he’s categorised as a defender in our Euros fantasy game.The 23-year-old registered 12 goals and 14 assists in all competitions for the German double winners in 2023/24.Frimpong is a potential game-changerCredit: Kenny RamsayWhile Netherlands’ defence looks strong on paper, it should be noted that they have conceded plenty of goals against the top teams in recent times – something to bear in mind for the knockouts.Up top, Cody Gakpo (£4m) is the main man having scored eight goals and provided three assists in his last 17 outings at international level.And his record of a goal involvement every 125.7 minutes for Liverpool this season may have been overlooked by some.EUROS SCORE PREDICTOR IS HERE! CLICK HERE TO PLAY FOR FREE – £5,000 PRIZE POT!PLAY DREAM TEAM EUROS NOW!The best fantasy football game for this summer’s tournament.
      BARGAIN OPTIONSNetherlands’ players appear fairly priced across board generally but there might be some decent value in midfield if gaffers can predict Koeman’s starting line-up.For example, if Teun Koopmeiners (£3m) gets the nod then his price would seem reasonable.The 26-year-old contributed 15 goals and seven assists to Atalanta’s season, which ultimately resulted in Europa League glory.However, Koopmeiners is can’t be considered a guaranteed starter at the time of writing so Dream Team bosses should tread carefully.Gini Wijnaldum and Memphis Depay may still be key figures under KoemanCredit: Kenny RamsayPLAYERS TO AVOIDGini Wijnaldum (£3m) is back in contention and while his historical record at international level is good, many fans fear he won’t be up to speed in Germany.The experienced midfielder spent the domestic season with Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League and failed to score in the second half of the campaign.Elsewhere, Ryan Gravenberch (£3m) is a familiar name but Koeman publicly admitted that the Liverpool man only made the cut because of injuries to other players which gives a fairly clear indication of his place in the pecking order.Frenkie de Jong (£3.5m) is a crucial player for Netherlands and if he’s fully fit and motivated then he should be considered among their top stars rather than players to avoid.READ MORE SUN STORIESHowever, the Barcelona midfielder is in a race against time to make Matchday 1 and if doesn’t pull through then it might be a baptism of fire for him against France in Matchday 2 – proceed with caution.Dream Team’s Nick Elliott previews this summer’s Euros fantasy game More

      GARETH SOUTHGATE will have no choice but to take the handbrake off his England team at Euro 2024.
      The defensive crisis gripping the Three Lions means the only option in Germany, within ­reason, will be outright attack.
      Southgate has often been lambasted for his safety-first approach — even if he points out you must go back to Walter Winterbottom’s sides in the 1950s to find an England manager with a better scoring record.
      But with the crocked Harry Maguire left out, Luke Shaw not fit enough to start the tournament and John Stones having made just 12 ­Premier League starts this season, this is not a defence you would stake your life on.
      The last time England went to a major tournament in Germany — the 2006 World Cup — the four centre-backs selected were Sol Campbell (68 caps), Rio Ferdinand (47), Jamie Carragher (25) and John Terry (24).
      This time, when England fly out on Monday, the quartet will be Lewis Dunk (six), Joe Gomez (14), Marc Guehi (ten) and Ezri Konsa (three).
      It makes Southgate’s decision not to recall the 49-cap Eric Dier for his ­provisional squad even stranger — especially considering his strong end to the season with Bayern Munich.
      The elder statesman in his defence — and the one who absolutely has to stay fit — is 71-cap Stones. More

      Guys, I was just thinking on the way here what I would say today. Some of you have heard me speak before, some of you are new to the setup.
      I thought, what can I offer to all of you and your experienced team here, Gareth – what can I say that could help you in any way?
      I was on the school run this morning with the children and I asked them what I should say to you today.
      The best bit of advice I got to ask you was to eat twice as much as you normally eat.
      I don’t have visions of all of you running around with massive red tummies and getting stitches on the pitch.
      So I think maybe take my youngest’s kind of advice with a pinch of salt.
      Tournament football, it’s a big deal. All of you have had fantastic seasons.
      I’ve seen every single one of you play this season. You’ve all done amazingly well.
      As some of you know way better than anyone else in this room, tournament football is brutal.
      It requires a lot more than you’ve already given. You’ve had a long, long season as it is, and we’re going to ask you to go again
      It’s going to be difficult. It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be challenging.
      It’s going to be everything that you’ve ever dreamed of, you know, wearing that English shirt.
      I think you’re going to have to draw on all the experience you’ve had playing club football.
      I think the biggest thing I’ve learned from coming and seeing you guys over the years in the dressing room I’ve been into is the togetherness.
      What Gareth has instilled in all of you over the years, I really feel you’re a unit.
      You fight for each other. You play for each other. And you really care about putting that shirt on.
      And I just want you guys to know how much it means to everyone back here.
      You go out there. Give your all. Play for the shirt. Play for each other. Play for the country.
      Because everyone’s behind you. We really care about what you’re going to do.
      And I think you need to know also, you know, the England team has a target at the back.
      Everyone wants to beat us. So when you step on that pitch, you’re going to be, you’re going to want to be, you know.
      And you guys have got all the talent in the world. You’re a great squad, but talent alone won’t win us the tournament.
      And so whatever you can do, draw on those experiences in other parts of your life, growing up, other inspirations, other people, family members.
      Whatever it is, you know, get that in you right now. Build up on it. Pump yourself up.
      Because, you know, you never know when you might need it in the future. 
      But listen, I’m rambling. I wish you all the best. I really do. I’ve been watching you some games.
      I won’t get to say what I do at home, watching some matches. But we get very much into it. We really enjoy it.
      And yeah, just best of luck, guys. Bye. Thank you. More

      How many games do players miss for a red card at Euro 2024?
