Happy Matchday 13, RotoBallers! It's the final day of the group stages and our last day with more than two matches on each slate. Group E and Group F wrap up their schedules with plenty on the line. Every country in Group E currently sits on three points. The winners of Slovakia-Romania and Ukraine-Belgium can secure their spots in the Round of 16. Meanwhile, Portugal has put everything away nice and tidily in Group F, but Georgia, Czechia, or Turkiye can still grab second place.
There are also huge permutations regarding the best four third-place teams among the 24 nations. Many teams are on the brink of ecstasy or heartbreak, and it could come down to goal difference or even goals scored, so expect plenty of late drama in Wednesday's slate.
The DraftKings Euro 2024 DFS Soccer contests lock at noon EDT for the 6/26/24 slate. Make sure to get your lineups in early. Also, don't forget to check out the rest of our Euro 2024 coverage on RotoBaller with team and match previews, along with our betting and DFS advice.

Euro 2024 Matchday 13
DraftKings DFS Goalkeepers
Florin Nita - $4.3K DraftKings; $10 FanDuel
Opponent - Slovakia
Every team in Group E still has a chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds, so DFS managers should expect some cagey contests. Through two games, Florin Nita has 10 saves and two goals allowed (both against Belgium), averaging 13.4 DraftKings PPG. Tonight's match against Slovakia is +110 to end in a draw, and that will be enough to get Romania through to the Round of 16 after its opening 3-0 win over Ukraine. Nita doesn't have the highest upside at a win or a clean sheet, but his salary discount over Diogo Costa and Koen Casteels is enough to get him in our DFS lineups.
Others To Consider: Diogo Costa ($5.9K DK || $13 FD), Giorgi Mamardashvili ($3.9K DK || $8 FD)
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Romelu Lukaku - $10.6K DK; $20 FD
Opponent - Ukraine
While the goals have yet to start flowing for Romelu Lukaku at Euro 2024, his persistence feels destined to pay off. The veteran striker has had three goals disallowed through VAR this tournament, and it's only a matter of time before he opens his summer scoring account. Belgium has to win to guarantee its spot in the Round of 16, so the Red Devils won't hold back against Ukraine. The 31-year-old has an assist and eight shots through two games and has played 90 minutes in both contests. Another 90 minutes will give Lukaku enough time to join the Euro 2024 scoresheet and help his country advance to the knockout stages.
Will Lukaku ever find the back of the net? 😅

Others To Consider: Cristiano Ronaldo ($11.0K DK; $21 FD), Dennis Man ($6.7K DK; $16 FD), Leandro Trossard ($7.8K DK; $15 FD)
DraftKings DFS Midfielders
Diogo Jota - $9.2K DK; $15 FD
Opponent - Georgia
Portugal has already won its group and qualified for the Round of 16, so there will be some rotation in the final game against Georgia. This benefits Diogo Jota, who should see a significant playing time boost to end the group stage. The Portuguese attacker contributed 10 goals and three assists in 21 Premier League games for Liverpool last season and always seems to pop up with a goal when his team needs it the most. With Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, and Joao Cancelo expected to get a rest, the role of supplying Cristiano Ronaldo with chances will fall on Jota. It's a DFS points-producing dream.
Others To Consider: Kevin De Bruyne ($10.3K; $22 FD), Arda Guler ($8.3K DK; $17 FD), Heorhii Sudakov ($4.9K DK; $12 FD)
DraftKings DFS Defenders
Vladimir Coufal - $4.7K DK || $16 FD
Opponent - Turkey
If you've only watched Vladimir Coufal in the Premier League for West Ham, you would be forgiven for thinking you're watching a totally different player at Euro 2024. Coufal is talisman-like for Czechia at this tournament with an assist, seven chances created, and 18 crosses, averaging 31.04 FD PPG. Czechia must beat Turkey to guarantee a spot in the knockout rounds, so DFS managers can expect the 31-year-old to continue his creative explosion in Germany.
Others To Consider: Diogo Dalot ($4.9K DK; $12 FD), Mert Muldur ($4.4K DK; $13 FD), Oleksandr Zinchenko ($3.7K DK; $12 FD)
Set Pieces:
- Slovakia: Ondrej Duda
- Romania: Nicolae Stanciu/Dennis Man
- Ukraine: Mykhailo Mudryk/Oleksandr Zinchenko
- Belgium: Kevin De Bruyne
- Georgia: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
- Portugal: Vitinha/Bruno Fernandes
- Czechia: Vladimir Coufal/Vaclav Cerny
- Turkiye: Hakan Calhanoglu
