Kylian Mbappe is, let’s not beat around the bush, the biggest name at this European Championship. Without being too selfish, the striker’s recent, gruesome injury raises problems for him as well as for fantasy football fans.
Who to replace Kylian Mbappe with in Euro 2024 fantasy football? This is a question many have asked themselves during the last week.
I’ve looked at the stats, I’ve done the math, and I’ve made the predictions. These are the players you may want to consider as a substitute for your Euro 2024 fantasy football.
Kylian Mbape Replacements in Euro 2024 Fantasy Football
Kylian Mbappe had his nose broken in the premier group game against Austria. It’s a nasty injury, but will you miss the entire Euro 2024? No, Mbappe is expected back either against Poland or in the first knockout match of Euro 2024.
In the meantime, here are the players you can replace with in Euro 2024 fantasy football and also in FootballCoin.
Olivier Giroud (France)
Let’s start by looking no further than Mbappe’s likely replacement against the Netherlands. Olivier Giroud, along with N’Golo Kante, is the team’s veteran. He is also highly dependable, especially when having to replace a starting player.
Giroud is France’s all-time goalscorer, has played well in recent games, and will retire from at the end of this campaign. All of these are reasons to pick him up until Mbappe returns.
Antoine Griezmann (France)
Antoine Griezmann has been, in recent years, one of the most underrated world-class players in the game. Griezmann may not score as often as Mbappe. But the Atletico forward is the man who makes the attacking setup click.
Griezmann got a couple of knocks against Austria, but otherwise, they should start all of France’s games, except, possibly, for their one against Poland in the event that they’ve already achieved qualification.
Alvaro Morata (Spain)
Alvaro Morata is the right choice if you’re looking for a Mbappe replacement that could go all the way. Spain has impressed at this tournament. Morata has brought in plenty of points for Euro 2024 fantasy football managers.
Since Spain is already qualified, Morata may be rested for the final group game but should return for the knockout stages. His price in fantasy football and his qualities make him an obvious choice.
Adam Buksa (Poland)
Looking for a replacement for Kylian Mbappe in fantasy football for tonight? Adam Bucksa can be the choice yu surprise your opponents with. Bucksa scored against the Netherlands. He often looked ready to replace Robert Lewandowski in the team’s setup. He could get lucky, again, against Austria.
Marko Arnautovic (Austria)
Marko Arnautovic style isn’t very refined. But he has gotten the job done for the Austrians, as well as teams like Bologna and Inter Milan, for years. He didn’t start against France, but Ralf Rangnick is set to want more firepower against Poland.
Kerem Akturkoglu (Turkiye)
Kerem Akturkoglu came off the bench to score the winner against Georgia. Although he is one of Turkey’s biggest names, the quality of the squad is keeping him on the bench for now. But we reckon he’ll be given a chance in the final two games of the group. And, with good pass providers around him, like Arda Guller, Akturkoglu can be a good replacement for Mbappe in Euro 2024 fantasy football.
