Seems like defenders are the way to go, ball recoveries are really powerful. Strikers have disappointed so far, if I don't get a shitload of points from Kane, Morata and Ronaldo in this round I'll go for better defenders for the QF round and ignore the forwards.
I'm not supposed to let you know, but I'm sticking with my captain point for this round, no more messing around, and I'm not sure any of my forwards are coming close--the last time I went for a greener pasture, I lost my position.
Defenders are the real gems in the knockout stages, but you must also consider their booking to avoid having a large number of suspended players. MD1's Akanji ball recoveries have been excellent, and he never disappoints. I personally ignored Italy and Switzerland assets.
Spain clean sheet, Nico and Morata goal contributions is all I ask for. Let's goo!
