Ruben Dias - Keeps clean sheet in win Dias kept a clean sheet with four tackles made (two won) and conceded a yellow card during Tuesday's 3-0 win over Hungary in Group F.

Impact Dias had a reasonable beginning to his first major international tournament as a starter but the yellow card limited his value. Much like his defensive partner in Pepe, the group stage will only get tougher from here against Germany and France. This means that keeping fouls to a minimum will be integral to Dias maintaining good fantasy value.

Bernardo Silva - Takes two corner in win Silva registered two corners, three crosses (one accurate) and three tackles (one won) in Tuesday's 3-0 win against Hungary.

Impact While Bruno Fernandes took the bulk of the corners (four), Silva still managed to take a portion of the workload before being subbed off in the 71st minute. Heading into matchups with Germany and France, Silva figures to continue taking a share of the corners but is unlikely to surpass Fernandes as the No. 1 option on freekicks.

Phil Foden - Logs 71 minutes in win Foden put one shot off target in 71 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 win over Croatia.

Impact Foden is one of the bright young stars around and struck the post with a curling effort early into the game. If he remains as active as he did Sunday in the rest of the group stage, Foden should have a few more chances to make a difference. Up next is the oldest international derby in the world against Scotland.

Kyle Walker - Keeps clean sheet in opener Walker kept a clean sheet and provided two inaccurate crosses during Sunday's 1-0 win over Croatia.

Impact Walker was the first of many right-backs to get his starting shot in this tournament and he performed reasonably well. Given the wealth of other options, it wouldn't be surprising to see others get a shot as long as England continues their winning ways, though Walker's age could help give him an edge with experience later in the competition.

Aymeric Laporte - Keeps clean sheet in draw Laporte kept a clean sheet and completed 115 passes during Monday's scoreless draw with Sweden in Group E.

Impact Laporte led all players in completed passes during a rather one-sided contest, at least in possession. The end result could have turned out differently if the Swedes converted on their limited number of chances but since that didn't happen, Laporte can come away fairly confident about his role in the result. With Robert Lewandowski still struggling to score in international competition, Laporte will be tasked with shutting him and Poland down in the second match of the group stage.

Ferran Torres - Takes two shots in draw Torres took two shots (one on goal) and logged three inaccurate crosses during Monday's scoreless draw with Sweden in Group E.

Impact Torres certainly made an impression, but he lacked the same finishing touch as the rest of his teammates in this game. His work before his replacement by Mikel Oyarzabal should be enough for Torres to keep his place in the team, but in any important tournament it's worth watching how the lineup may change. Up next is the second group stage game against Poland.

Kevin De Bruyne - Back in training De Bruyne (nose, face) joined Monday's training session, according to HLN Sport.

Impact De Bruyne didn't play in Saturday's Euro opening victory over Russia and his odds of playing before the group stage ends should now increase with each passing training session. Up next is Thursday's game against Denmark.

Olexandr Zinchenko - Eight tackles against Netherlands Zinchenko sent in one inaccurate cross and made eight tackles and one clearance during Sunday's 3-2 loss against Netherlands.

Impact Zinchenko was deployed as a left winger here, but his biggest contributions came on defense, as he led all players with his eight tackles. He'll try to bounce back on the attacking end during Thursday's match against North Macedonia.

Nathan Ake - Assists off bench against Ukraine Ake provided an assist, had one off-target shot, created one chance, sent in one accurate cross and made one interception after coming off the bench during Sunday's 3-2 win over Uk...

Impact Ake was brought in the 64th minute, replacing Daley Blind, and made a huge contribution in the 85th, assisting Denzel Dumfries for the game-winning goal with a great cross from the left flank. The defender will probably remain on the bench, but will hope this assist helps him to keep getting playing time during Thursday's clash of group leaders against Austria.
