My Women’s EURO Fantasy First Draft Team: Picks, Notes and Rationale

If you haven’t already, you should check out our UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 Fantasy Fixture Ticker for Matchdays 1-3. It’s a fantastic tool which could help build your squad ahead of the deadline.

• Chip strategy appears nailed for me. I’m targeting the first two Matchdays then using the Wildcard in Matchday 3 to manage the expected rotation. That means that most of my player picks target the first two rounds.
• We get to captain a player every day, so having four captains in your team makes sense this week.
• With the above in mind, my first day coverage will be Chelsea’ Guro Reitan.
• Spain are one of the best sides in the competition, along with Germany. They both also have great fixtures so a triple up from each should be a shoo-in.
• I also have a Netherlands triple up, mostly due to their opening clash against EURO’ newcomers Wales.
• Outside of that, I like the Italy double up due to fixtures, with a sprinkle of Sweden for their first two matches.
• I’m 50/50 on England. Whilst they are one of the favourites, their fixtures are very difficult. For now I have Lucy Bronze and Alessia Russo, but that may change.
• This is where I’m at so far, things could well change before the deadline.
