Paddy Power’s Super Sub offer, where your bet rolls over to the new player coming on if the man you pick goes off, has been the talk of the town during Euro 2024.
There are numerous markets that qualify for Super Sub, from Player To Commit 1 or More Fouls to Anytime Assist, but who’s worth putting in your quarter-final Bet Builders this weekend?
Well, don’t you worry. We’ve got you covered for all eight teams.
We’ve crunched the numbers and plucked out all the key numbers to lend a helping hand ahead of Friday and Saturday’s quarter-final clashes. Lucky you, eh?
Player To Commit 1 or More Fouls
Every game is a pressurised situation at a major tournament but now we’re into the knockout stages, expect more tackles to fly in as well as savvy players taking a cynical foul to stop a counter attack with their team 1-0 up in the 85th minute – especially with all yellow cards being wiped after this game.
Portugal, France and England have been relatively shy on the foul front so far, with Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher leading the way for the Three Lions by committing five fouls in just 118 minutes of game time. That’s some going.
Virgil van Dijk of Netherlands and Germany’s Robert Andrich have been foul machines at the tournament and the latter ended up with three in their Last 16 win against Denmark, while Spain and Switzerland have not been afraid to get stuck in.
Spain have three players on seven fouls after just four games, while Dan Ndoye and Remo Freuler are both on nine fouls each for the Swiss, which is an average of 2.25 fouls per game.

Le Normand: 7
Morata: 7

Player To Be Fouled 1 Or More Times
We’ve mentioned about fouls rising now we’re into the quarter-finals but who’s been getting a good kicking so far at Euro 2024?
England’s Last 16 hero Jude Bellingham is joint-top of the list, with the Real Madrid man getting fouled nine times in four outings. Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka are also being targeted by opposition defenders in Germany.
It also looks like there is a conspiracy to boot left-backs? Spain’s Marc Cucurella has been fouled six times and France’s Theo Hernandez has been being brought down a remarkable eight times.
Germany star boy Jamal Musiala is as tricky as they come and the fouls drawn tally represents that, while Ndoye of Switzerland is clearly all action by committing nine fouls and drawing 10 fouls so far.
Spain
Cucurella: 6
Rodri: 4
Yamal: 3
Germany
Mittelstadt: 9
Musiala: 9

Player To Have 1 or More Shots On Target
We’re getting away from the dark arts now and focusing on attacking statistics – who’s testing the goalkeepers at Euro 2024?
Kane is England’s main man on four efforts on target which is a lowly tally compared to Cristiano Ronaldo’s eight and Kai Havertz’s nine shots on target. Cody Gakpo has also had seven efforts on target for Netherlands.
Although Havertz gets a lot of stick, he’s buried a couple of his chances, however, Ronaldo is still searching for his first goal at the tournament. He’s probably still got tears in his eyes after his penalty miss against Slovenia in the last 16. Poor Ronny.
Spain
Ruiz: 5
Morata: 4
Yamal: 3
Germany
Havertz: 9
Musiala: 4
Sane: 3
Portugal
Ronaldo: 8
Vitinha: 2

Gakpo: 7
Depay: 2
Simons: 2

Yilmaz: 3
Yildiz: 2
Calhanoglu: 2
Player To Have 1 or More Shots
While there might not be much value in backing Ronaldo to have a shot, especially considering he’s had 20 so far at the tournament, it’s worth keeping an eye on market outsiders to have an effort on goal.
Spain’s Fabian Ruiz has been sensational this summer and he’s already racked up 11 shots from midfield.
Holding midfielders Declan Rice, Granit Xhaka and Vitinha could all be worth looking into ahead of the quarter-finals. The games will likely be cagey and it could be an effort from long range that decides who reaches the final four.
Spain
Ruiz: 11
Morata: 11
Olmo: 11
Germany
Havertz: 15
Musiala: 7
Sane: 7
Portugal

Player To Score
Paddy’s Super Sub offer is great for bigger-odds selections such as Player to Score or Anytime Assist. If it isn’t going to plan, managers will make changes and maybe chuck a big man up top for the last 10 minutes. If he bags, we’ve got a winner.
Germany’s Musiala could be on course to win the Golden Boot and he’ll be well aware that he’s at the top of the standings. It’s also worth noting that he could be substituted for Fullkrug, who has scored twice after coming off the bench.
Bellingham and Kane lead the way for England, Gakpo has already bagged a few times for Netherlands, while Ruiz is Spain’s main man as they look to go all the way this summer.

Guler: 1
Anytime Assist
Anytime Assist odds are usually decent and due to every side in the quarter-finals being a decent team, the odds should be slightly higher due to the quality of opposition.
England’s Saka has chipped in with an assist, with Ivan Toney and Marc Guehi joining him after setting up the two goals in the Slovakia win. It doesn’t bode well that a centre-half and a guy who’s played a total of 27 minutes are joint-top of the list…
Elsewhere, Ruiz and tricky winger Lamine Yamal are joint-top of the list for Spain and the whole tournament, while Switzerland’s Michel Aebischer and Freuler also sit on two assists. Could the latter two add to their totals against England this weekend?
Spain
Ruiz: 2
Yamal: 2
Williams: 1

Havertz: 1
