The front three of France are tricky opponents. They interchange, shift positions, run on the opposite flanks and take up the role as the central striker by turns. On the left, Dimitri Payet could finally get his chance in a major tournament. He had a huge season with the Hammers and even made it into the PFA Team of the Year.
In the centre, with the absence of Karim Benzema and an out-an-out poacher, Deschamps is likely to stick with Olivier Giroud. The tall Arsenal striker had yet another decent season with the club and seems to bang in the goals for the national team when needed. His height and link-up play will likely decide a lot of the attacks Les Bleus initiate.
On the right will be yet another star who just cannot be dropped. Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann has been superb this season once again outlining why Diego Simeone pushed the boat out to sign him. He guided the team to a 3rd place finish in the league and led them to the finals of the UEFA Champions League. His ability to score and create goals will be the biggest attacking asset the team has.
