According to the data, Germany possesses the highest average ‘Player Quality’ at Euro 2024.

The model identifies Harry Kane as the top player at the European Championship this year.

Germany’s squad is a harmonious blend of youthful exuberance and veteran experience. In attack, Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala are poised to wreak havoc on opposing defenses, while the legendary Toni Kroos, a six-time Champions League winner, orchestrates the midfield with precision.

At the back, Antonio Rudiger, a stalwart at Real Madrid, marshals the defense and is considered Germany’s standout player according to the data. The consistency and balance of the German squad give them a slight edge over their rivals.

England’s Harry Kane is not just the Three Lions’ best player but the top-ranked player at the tournament, edging out the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne, and Bernardo Silva. However, England’s overall squad quality is slightly diminished by a few players.

France, meanwhile, boasts an incredibly well-rounded squad with minimal disparity in quality. Didier Deschamps has an embarrassment of riches at his disposal, with names like Mbappe, William Saliba, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, Ousmane Dembele, and Antoine Griezmann leading the charge.

‘Player Quality’ data from analytics firm Twenty First Group considers player performance, age, and position.

France possesses a squad brimming with talent and has the narrowest range of abilities at Euro 2024.

Portugal is not as highly rated in the data as they are by bookmakers ahead of Euro 2024.

Interestingly, Portugal, widely tipped as a favorite, ranks seventh in squad quality, behind defending champions Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain. Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva is highlighted as their key player in a star-studded lineup.

As for the underdogs, the Crusaders, making their tournament debut, have the lowest average “Player Quality” ranking, followed by Hungary, Slovenia, Romania, and Albania.

Scotland, meanwhile, ranks as the seventh-weakest team at Euro 2024. They face a daunting task in their opening match against hosts Germany at the Allianz Arena on Friday.

Scotland also has the most significant range in “Player Quality” of any team at the tournament, indicating a notable disparity in talent within their ranks.

England’s Group C opponents include Denmark, ranked ninth, and Serbia, ranked tenth, making Group C the only group with three teams in the top 10.
