The Premier League season is drawing to an end, and that means the European Championships are finally on the horizon.

The official EURO 2020 Fantasy Football game is now live, meaning you can go and pick your team right now.

Who should you pick though? Here are our top five selections, with no Bruno Fernandes or Cristiano Ronaldo in sight…

Harry Kane

This one is pretty obvious. Kane was the top goalscorer in qualifying with 12 goals. Group stage games against Croatia, Scotland and Czech Republic look pretty enticing, with Kane no doubt expecting to score. He’s expensive at €11.5m, but worth it.

Romelu Lukaku

Another striker who impressed in qualifying with seven goals, Lukaku is coming off a Serie A title win with Inter Milan. He’s enjoyed a great domestic season with 21 goals, and just look at his fixtures; Russia, Denmark and Finland. You would have to back Lukaku to find the net regularly this summer, and is worth a look at €11m.

Kevin De Bruyne

A Fantasy Premier League darling, De Bruyne joins Belgian teammate Lukaku on this list. Again, you have to look at those fixtures and feel that De Bruyne has to be a good bet for goals and assists. The 29-year-old picked up a goal and two assists at the 2018 World Cup, but we’re backing him to do much better this time. A better bet at €10.5million than teammate Eden Hazard at €10m.

Kylian Mbappe

This is more of a gamble than it sounds. Mbappe is one of the top young players in the world and is worth a huge €12m in EURO 2020 Fantasy Football. He only managed three goals in qualifying, but having excelled on the big stage at the 2018 World Cup, we’re backing him to come up big again this summer.

Memphis Depay

The joint-cheapest pick on the list at €10m. Memphis was superb in qualifying, scoring six goals as the Netherlands emerged as a real threat. Depay heads into the tournament in good form having scored 21 in all competitions this season, and is the main goal threat for the Netherlands, whose schedule – Ukraine, Austria and North Macedonia – looks very appealing.
