Best Strategies for Women’s EURO Fantasy Matchday 6
Unsure on how to gain or rank ahead of the final? We take a look through the best strategies for Women’s EURO Fantasy Matchday 6 right here!
Knowing how to approach the final of any fantasy competition can be crucial to how successful your season is. One match could make or break your campaign, so being aware of the strategies can be very important.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at how we could approach the final week:
Looking to Gain Rank?
There are several ways to gain rank this week, but the most popular is a defensive Spain stack. A Spain defensive stack means picking every possible player in Spain’s starting line-up that is eligible for a clean sheet.
The most likely scenario if doing this would be bringing in Olga, Batlle, Aleixandri, Paredes and Coll. Again, monitoring the line-ups will be crucial, so don’t make your transfers until the line-ups release.
If five potential clean sheets isn’t enough, managers could even place the captaincy armband on a defensive asset. In the case below, Batlle has the armband due to attacking threat and ball recovery potential.
Whilst Spain are favourites against former champions England, anything can happen in a final. An example of this was the recent Club World Cup final in which Chelsea comfortably dispatched heavy favourites PSG.
Because of that, backing an England stack could be riskier, but it also comes with much higher reward. An England defensive stack may look like the following, depending on line-ups:
The above could involve starting Hampton, Bronze, Greenwood, Williamson and Carter.
Once again, fantasy managers can give the armband to one of their England defenders, potentially Williamson who has ball recovery potential.
Alternatively, for those who want to back against defenders, you could put all of your eggs into attack. The Lionesses have been extremely ropey from a defensive perspective so it may not be a huge suprise to see Spain score goals.
If Spain do score then the probability of returns and success increase massively with the stack below:
This Spain stack would surely cover most attacking returns. You could also captain a Spain attacker too which could give you even more of a boost when Spain score.
Meanwhile, England are the former Champions for a reason, they know how to win games. Even when playing below their usual standards England have found a way to win games.
To put that into practise, managers could select the attacking stack below:
England have another viable option in forward Chloe Kelly, so with Lauren James flagged, waiting for the line-ups to drop could be the best play.
Similar to all of our other examples, utilising captaincy to add to the attacking stack could be hugely beneficial.

Holding Rank
There aren’t as many strategies when it comes to playing it safe, just one in fact. The best way to play the final round for those that want to hold rank is to simply back both sides and their best assets.
Backing both defenders and attackers will be key in this strategy and the best example there is of playing it safe is the team pictured below:
Formation: 4-4-3
Starting line-up: Coll, Olga, Batlle, Bronze, Williamson, Putellas, Caldentey, Bonmati, Stanway, Hemp, Russo and Gonzalez.
This would mean starting five England players and six Spain players – splitting the risk and having most of the best assets covered.
