France are expected to register a big win against Australia and keep a clean sheet too, upon looking at the ownership levels of their players.

Antoine Griezmann (£10.0m) is the most popular asset for the fixture, coming into it sat in 25 percent of McDonald’s FIFA World Cup Fantasy squads. In the forwards department, only Lionel Messi (£12.0m) and Neymar (£12.0m) more owners.

N’Golo Kante (£6.0m) is the preferred option in midfield, his 20 percent ownership dwarfing that of Paul Pogba (£9.0m).

There seems to be no faith in Australia to continue their scoring run of ten goals in their last five matches with zero percent ownership for their midfield and attack.

Meanwhile, Raphael Varane (£6.0m) and Hugo Lloris (£6.0m) sit in 15 and 13 percent of squads respectively.

    "Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95 year-old grandmother and comfort her. When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning." Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble. "Oh no, my dear," replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong." She paused to wipe away a tear, and continued, "He'd still be alive if the ice cream truck hadn't come along."

    I think france will win it 3-0. What do u guys think?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Aye, something like that.

  6. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Costa or neymar?

  7. KingZZ
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Who should i captain for today?
    A) Pavard
    B) Cueva
    C) Uzoho

    1. KingZZ
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Only 15 minutes left.

    2. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      A

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Someone that can get attacking returns.

      1. KingZZ
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        I have these 3 only playing today. No French attacker.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          What I'm saying is don't captain the goalkeeper. He's unlikely to get a score that you will stick with.

          1. KingZZ
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 2 days ago

            Yeah not going with him. I am thinking Cueva but it maybe tough against Denmark. Pavard can likely get a CS atleast

    4. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      I'd go Cueva

      1. KingZZ
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Cueva it is. I got Coutinho Lewa James Lukaku Kimmich still left so still a lot to look forward to.

    Read a classic today.

    The England team took a break from training today in order to visit a Russian orphanage.

    "It's so heartbreaking, seeing their sad little faces, devoid of hope", said Vladimir, aged 7.

      Read this in 2014 with a different name for the kid.

      1. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        As I said, its a classic. 🙂

      2. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        They went from Brazil to Russia? That's a hell of a commute.

    2. Richd
      • 13 Years

      It’s up there with “if you bet £10 on England to win at 20/1 you’ll lose £10”

      :/

      1. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

    France will win this World Cup in my eyes.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      I thought it was being held in Russia.

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Not even kicked a ball yet 🙂

      1. Zenith UK

        You didn't have a favourite before the tournament started?

  10. dunas_dog

    Worth bringing Pavard in or too much of risk will not play next game? Could bring in Umtiti but using more budget than ideal. Using first of 26 transfers in Telegraph game to do it.

    A Pavard
    B Umtiti

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Umtiti/Varane are the safest imo

  11. nicecat

      Hi Killian.

  12. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Captain

    A) Pavard
    B) Meza

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Meza

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years

      A, hope for a goal CS and 12 pts

      1. Positive vibes

        This

  13. Stats King-@football2space

    Who will score more goals France or Denmark?

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      France

      1. Stats King-@football2space
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        3 goals for sure

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      France

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      It is confirmed that France will.

    4. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Atletico/PSG/Barca v Matt Ryan...

    5. Indio
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      France.

  14. Slip it like Stevie
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    That France XI is just so freaking amazing! If this isn't their year the next WC will belong to them for sure.

    1. Stats King-@football2space
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Rollisso any good?

    2. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Areola would have to turn out really well. Lloris is 31-32 already.

  15. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Any danger in Uzoho not playing? Any team news?

    1. Stats King-@football2space
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      I thought he was a confirmed starter. My Bench boost will be a waste if he doesnt start.

  16. Genovoze
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    What is the consensus? Do we change El Kajoui to Uzoho?
    I have Modric Captain as well...

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Live a little.

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    France have all the players but are very poor as a team. Come on Australia

  18. Indio
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    I'd be mad to flip the armband to Griezmann, having lucked out with (C) Golovin in the opener, right? Fancy Griezmann to do really well in the match coming up, but guess he'd need a hattie to make such a move worthwhile?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      I would do it but it makes no sense.

      1. Indio
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Ha ha, thanks mate.

    2. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Stick

  19. The Pep Revolution
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Which French player would you pick as the most likely to score today?

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Pogba.

    2. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Griezmann

    3. dark91
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Mbappe

    4. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Griezman or Mmmmbop

    5. Indio
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Griezmann, though I've a funny feeling Pogba will do well (along with all the household names who haven't been popular picks around these parts!)

      1. Salahbrate
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Pogba wont score today, thats for sure..

  20. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Anybody else with Pogba ?

    Also....How many are WCing this round due to having Pogba?
    ,

    1. Salahbrate
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Depends on his hair day

  21. RubberDucky
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Already feel like giving up with no Ronaldo but armband on Griezman. Let's hope and pray.

      1. SW6
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Early days still, but if the first round carries on as it's started I won't make it much further

    • CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      So thats how Pavard looks...

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        a face you may not see again in this WC after today.

      2. Back on the horse
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Same here. Also never seen Mbappe play. Both in my team though. I'm such a casual.

      3. Chandler Bing
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        :p

    • bitm2007

      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Check what round you are on before making a substitution. The McD game displays round 2 (as default) after loggining in, make sure you swtitch to round one, other it will be register for the next round, not this !

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years

        Even better if they let him play as he should.
