Picking Spain in Goal Rush
Spain are a Tier 1 call on the Goal Rush card at £32m within the game's £200m card budget. For Oyarzabal, the matchday signal is simple: does de la Fuente put a 24-goal forward into the XI, or keep him in reserve? That game-time cue is what shapes how his scoring feeds the Spain team pick.
