PLAYER RECOMMENDATIONS
GOALKEEPER
Lukasz Fabianski, POL v. SWI: Switzerland finished second in Group A, which was basically dominated by France, and while they have some decent attacking pieces, they are now going up against a Poland side that didn't allow a single goal in Group C, which included Germany, Northern Ireland and Ukraine.
DEFENDER
Darijo Srna, CRO v. POR: Srna's price is quite high for a defender, but he continues to have the upside of a solid attacking midfielder, averaging 15.0 fantasy points per game in the tournament despite no goals or assists.
James Chester, WAL v. NIR: Chester has racked up 13 interceptions and won eight tackles during the tournament, and while his upside isn't that great, his price is fairly low and Wales have the best odds for a clean sheet.
MIDFIELDER
Aaron Ramsey, WAL v. NIR: Ramsey had a big breakout in Wales' final group stage match, scoring a goal and assisting another against Russia. He also added six crosses and will continue to take corners for a Wales side that is by far the biggest favorite of the slate.
Ivan Rakitic, CRO v. POR: Rakitic has taken a higher percentage of corners lately, and he now

Aaron Ramsey, WAL v. NIR: Ramsey had a big breakout in Wales' final group stage match, scoring a goal and assisting another against Russia. He also added six crosses and will continue to take corners for a Wales side that is by far the biggest favorite of the slate.
Ivan Rakitic, CRO v. POR: Rakitic has taken a higher percentage of corners lately, and he now faces a Portugal side that just allowed three goals to Hungary.
Milan Bedelj, CRO v. POR: Badelj is more of a salary-saving move, as he doesn't have tremendous attacking upside, despite taking four shots in three games. Instead, he provides decent peripheral stats, mostly by winning tackles and intercepting passes, but the funds you can use elsewhere will come in handy because of his cheat price.
Joao Moutinho, POR v. CRO: Moutinho crossed in seven corners in just 45 minutes against Hungary, and if he maintains that role, he could have a very solid floor with decent assist upside since he plays with Cristiano Ronaldo.
FORWARD
Arkadiusz Milik, POL v. SWI: It feels like Robert Lewandowski should be breaking out soon, but Milik has been the more consistent option throughout the tournament given his role on corners.
Cristiano Ronaldo, POR v. CRO: 30 shots in three games, you know Ronaldo will be shooting, and his game against Hungary (two goals and one assist) shows that he can completely dominate a slate, hence his expensive price.
Sam Vokes, WAL v. NIR: Vokes finally got a start in Wales' final group match, and while he didn't score a goal, he was very active, taking three shots (two on target) and adding two crosses. Wales are the heavy favorites, and if you don't want to pony up for Gareth Bale, Vokies has a decent shot at a score (his upside isn't nearly as high).
