How many Italians should Dream Team Euros bosses have in their XI  and which players specifically?
Italy are the most impressive team at Euro 2020 so far. Roberto Mancinis side put in the standout performance of the first round in the tournaments opening fixture when they dismantled Turkey and they dished out the same treatment to Switzerland on Wednesday night. Incredibly, the Azzurri had never scored more than two goals in a European Championship game before this summer and now theyve done it twice in the space of five days. 29 games unbeaten, 31 unanswered goal in their last ten outings  Italy are serious contenders to the continental throne. getty 4 Domenico Berardi is far too good to have an ownership of just 0.8%  First things first, those who trusted Gianluigi Donnarumma (4.0m) from the get-go have been rewarded with a brace of clean sheets. The same is true for the sizeable chunk of gaffers who have backed Leonardo Bonucci (4.0m), Giorgio Chiellini (3.5m), or both. However, the latter was substituted midway through the first half against Switzerland with a suspected hamstring injury. Its unclear at this stage whether the 36-year-old will be able to recover in time for the round of 16  he is likely to miss Italys final group game against Wales. A switch from Chiellini to marauding left-back Leonardo Spinazzola (2.5m) looks like a smart move  the Roma defender has done more attacking than most wingers in the tournament so far. AP 4 Chiellini limped off after feeling his hamstring  The midfield trio of Nicolo Barella (3.5m), Jorginho (3.0m) and Manuel Locatelli (3.5m) has functioned immensely well. The latter is only a starter because Marco Verratti (3.0m) is yet to regain full fitness and yet the Sassuolo representative is the overall top scorer in Dream Team Euros at the time of writing after his Star Man display against the Swiss. However, you would be wise to think carefully before rushing to transfer Locatelli into your XI. His brace on Wednesday night took his career tally to 12 goals for club and country  12 goals in 174 games. The 23-year-old may have emulated Frank Lampard against Switzerland but hes a deep-lying playmaker by trade and is unlikely to be a regular goalscorer going forward. getty 4 Locatelli enjoyed a night to remember against Switzerland but his historical record suggests hes unlikely to repeat his performance anytime soon  Dream Team Euros bosses need to think about ditching Federico Chiesa (4.0m). The second-generation talent has been used a late substitute in both games and with Lorenzo Insigne (4.0m) and Domenico Berardi (3.5m) excelling either side of Ciro Immobile (5.0m), the Juventus star may have to settle for limited minutes. Saying that, with Italys spot in the last 16 already confirmed, it wouldnt be surprising to see Chiesa start against Wales with Mancini thought one of his first-choice front three needed a rest. Berardi has banked ten points so far and has proven to be a hidden gem  his ownership remains at 0.8%! Immobile has deservedly risen in popularity since the opening night of the tournament. The prolific Lazio forward now appears in 23.5% of teams and has returned 20 points for his owners having registered two goals, an assist, and a Star Man award. getty 4 Spinazzola has starred in Italys first two Euro 2020 games  In summary, it may be wise to stay clear of Chiesa, Chiellini and Locatello going forward but Spinazzola and Berardi certainly deserve a boost in popularity. Theres no need to shy away from reliable favourites Immobile, Bonucci and Donnarumma just yet either. Based on what weve seen so far, it wouldnt be overkill to have three, four or even five Italians in your Dream Team Euros XI.
