Here is the WCCF team based on players above. Noted that not all of the players included in the squad because WCCF could only had 16 players in the team
Formation Deschamps already failed to experiment with the 4-1-2-1-2 Diamond formation and now already comfortable with the 4-3-3 formation, hence this formation is going to be used in this squad. Goalkeepers
Have to go ahead with Lloris in goal, no doubt. They also have Mandanda but Lloris still going to fill the no. 1 spot for France, he is the captain afterall. Defenders The starting will be Evra, Koscielny, Mangala and Sagna. Too bad they miss great defenders like Laporte or Varane due to injury. I go with Rami on the bench because he could cover all the defenders position.  Midfielders There is no doubt Matuidi and Pogba will start in the middle of the park. The DM position still insecure though since Diarra left the squad due to injury. I'll go with Schneiderlin for the position instead of Cabaye or Sissoko who I left on the bench, because I think Schneiderlin has more work rate than the other two. Forwards The minus of like Lacazette, Benzema and Valbuena left Deschamps with a limited forwards on the list. I'll go with Giroud up top, with Payet and Griezmann supporting from wings. Payet proved to be a success while doing his role as a winger, hence the position is somehow secured for him. I left Gignac and Coman on the bench, Gignac could come in for Giroud for super sub purpose, and Coman could work both on the wings.  Overall This team is balanced in every position, but little bit concerned on the back. There is no doubt in their midfield, the forwards are balanced because every player has different play style, many plays can be made if one doesn't work. Varane should be filling Mangala position if he didn't injured and the defense will get stronger and get more balanced. Overall, it is a great squad and I think they have a big chance to win the tournament. Prediction for EURO 2016 They will win it. With a great squad like this, I think there is a big chance for them to win the tournament. France had a good history when they hosted a tournament, like what they did in EURO 1984 and WC 1998, they both won it on their home. If they didn't win it, the worst finish would be they exit in semi final.
So, that's it. I hope you enjoy the squad and my prediction. How do you think France will go?
