Propel yourself to success with the help of this Euro 2016 Fantasy Football tips Matchday 2 forwards round-up, based on the official UEFA game sponsored by McDonald’s.

With Matchday 2 incorporating each team’s first group stage game – all taking place from Wednesday June 15th to Saturday June 18th – recommended selections include players from Republic of Ireland, Wales, Iceland and France.

Olivier Giroud, France

The Arsenal man is much derided but he’s undeniably a goal-scorer, as he showed once again in the 2-1 win over Romania. Next up for the hosts, Albania.

Strike partner Antoine Griezmann was unlucky not to get on the score sheet on a couple of occasions, although bear in mind he will cost you more.

Gareth Bale, Wales

Expensive he may be, but Bale must be licking his lips at the thought of facing England.

Shane Long, Republic of Ireland

He’s relatively cheap, he finished the season on fire at Southampton, and his non-stop running could be a thorn in the side of a Belgium that lost 0-2 to Italy.

Gylfi Sigurðsson, Iceland

The Swansea City man could be a decent shout against Hungary.

Good luck and happy selecting!
