After claiming the top five spots in Mondogoal's £1,000 Euro Sunday tournament last night, our very own JamieFPL has returned to share some daily fantasy football tips for today's £1,000 Euro Monday (Early Start) tournament.
Sweden will be looking for a win over Moldova to keep the pressure on Russia for the second automatic qualification spot. Elsewhere, Russia need to take at least a point from Montenegro in order to hold on to second place. Austria have already won the group and host Liechtenstein who cannot finish higher than fifth. Moldova and Montenegro both cannot qualify and will be playing for pride.

Austria vs Liechtenstein
The Group G Champions will look to round-up an impressive qualifying campaign when they take on neighbours Liechtenstein. The last time these two sides met, Austria served up a 5-0 thrashing and it's no surprise to see them topping the bookies odds for both clean sheet and goal scoring potential.
Robert Almer (7.2m) has played every single minute between the sticks for Austria during the qualifiers and with such high odds for a clean sheet he's our favourite to bring back the +6 clean sheet points.
David Alaba (14.0m) has shone so far this competition picking up four goals and an assist. During Austria's 5-0 victory over Liechtenstein last March, the midfielder scored one and could have had a another if he didn't send his penalty wide.
Marc Janko (4.5m) has converted four goals in his last five international games and valued so inexpensively we expect him have a high ownership tonight. Janko does have an aggressive side though, conceding 15 fouls and picking up a yellow and red card so far this campaign. We don't expect him to get so hot-headed tonight however, in a game with little to play for.
Sweden vs Moldova
Sweden will welcome the arrival of Moldova tonight having won all of their six previous meetings. Eric Hamrén will be hoping that history repeats itself, as Sweden look to keep the pressure on Russia who could lose out on automatic qualification should they fail to pick up a point against Montenegro.
No Swedish defender has contributed towards the attack so far this season in the form of goals or assists but they shouldn't be ignored today with such strong potential for a clean sheet. Who you select will largely depend on your budget and who's starting, but if we had to recommend one it'd be
Martin Olsson (6.6m) based on the attacking potential he's shown for his club in recent years.
In attack it's hard to look further than
Zlatan Ibrahimović (16.4m). The striker scored twice during the nations' first Group G encounter and has shown positive form in recent weeks, scoring in Sweden's last two Euro Qualifier matches. Though he comes with an expensive price tag, we think he'll be worth his value in points as Sweden search for a win.
If Zlatan pulls your purse strings a little too much,
Marcus Berg (4.7m) is just the man you're looking for. The Swedish striker has averaged over 10 points per game on
Mondogoal from his last four matches, having scored twice and recorded eight shots on target.
Russia vs Montenegro
Russia will look to bring a positive conclusion to their qualifying campaign with a win that would secure them second place. Montenegro cannot finish anywhere other than forth but will be setting out to play giant killers and could seriously pile the pressure on Russia with an early goal. We'd avoid this one defensively as both teams will be throwing men forward looking for goals.
On the subject of goals,
Artem Dzyuba (8.6m) has bagged 7 in his last 6 Euro Qualifier matches for Russia, averaging a whopping 14.76 points per game. He's no doubt going to have the highest ownership tonight, so it could be a case of joining in or being left behind.
Stevan Jovetic (9.0m) has had an impressive campaign scoring two and assist as many. If you're looking for Montenegro coverage in attack, then Jovetic should be your first port of call as the majority of their attack runs through him.
However, if you don't want to invest quite so much money on a potential upset,
Fatos Beqiraj (4.4m) could be just the differential you're looking for. The striker has a tendency to pick up assists, but has also found himself on the score sheet twice during the qualifiers, including last week against Austria.
