The Europa League has caught many glances this year from football fans seeking some real entertainment. Perhaps, it’s the relative lack of pressure, the big teams feeling free to use some wild cards, or the expectations of playing in the UCL once the tournament is won. Either way, the Quarter-Finals promise good performances.
Here are the best 11 free FootballCoin cards that users can choose for their draft.
Goalkeeper
Dominik Livakovic (Dinamo Zagreb) – To some, Dinamo Zagreb are the Europa League “giant slayers”. To others, they are a team living up to their potential. Nowhere is this truer than with keeper Dominik Livakovic, who has been the stand-out goalie in the competition and who’s represented by a free card.
Defenders
Luke Shaw (Manchester United) – The mere sight of potential replacement Alex Telles, has sent Shaw into a career-defining redemption story. He’s been one of the best wing-backs in the Premier League and UEL. Hard to look past him.
Nicolas Tagliafico (Ajax Amsterdam) – One of the few “potential superstars” that Ajax has avoided transferring, Tagliafico is already a veteran of European competitions. he is, arguably, also one of the best defenders in Europe, and free in Europa League.
Juan Foyth (Villareal) – Foyth has been making the best of his time away from Tottenham, becoming an important player for Villareal. The La Liga side is, arguably, one of the favorites, still left in the competition. Should they win, Foyth’s success would, no doubt, rub salts in Spurs’ fans’ wounds.
Jan Boril (Slavia Prague) – Boril is a no-nonsense full-back that tends to come good as the team needs him the most. He has scored some important goals this season for the Cezch side, and played brilliantly, last time around, against Glasgow Rangers.
Midfielders
Ryan Gravenberch (Ajax Amsterdam) – If you are a fan of the Football Manager franchise, the mere mention of Ryan Gravenberch will make you smile approvingly. This year, he has announced himself as a midfielder with an impressive array of tricks in his bag.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United) – He might just be the best midfielder in the Premier League. And, he’s free to use in FootballCoin. Enough said.
Leonardo Spinazzola (AS Roma) – The midfielder has been one of the consistent performer of one of Serie A’s finest teams. He’s also free and it’ll be hard to look past him.
Scot McTominay (Manchester United) – Resilience and passion have carried McTominay a long way. He has become an important part of Ole Gunna Solskjaer’s tactical plans, and will most likely get a shot to play against Granada in the Europa League.
Forwards
Borja Mayoral (AS Roma) – This is the season in which Borja Mayoral truly announce himself to the world as a great striker. He’s netted 7 goals in the Europa League this season, and he’s free to choose.
Mislav Orsic (Dinamo Zagreb) – A man who has scored not one, but two memorable hat-tricks in European football, Orsic enters the competitions after just having, nearly single-handedly, knocked out Spurs. Great things are, almost certainly, on the way.
