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, 1 day ago

      Aye, something like that.

  6. JJeyy
    • 10 Years

    Costa or neymar?

  7. KingZZ
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

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

    1. KingZZ
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Only 15 minutes left.

    2. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      A

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Someone that can get attacking returns.

      1. KingZZ
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

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

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 day 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, 1 day 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, 1 day ago

      I'd go Cueva

      1. KingZZ
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 day 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, 1 day ago

        As I said, its a classic. 🙂

      2. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

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

    2. Richd

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

      :/

      1. CloudSky
        • 9 Years

    France will win this World Cup in my eyes.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      I thought it was being held in Russia.

    2. Legomané

      Not even kicked a ball yet 🙂

        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, 1 day ago

      Umtiti/Varane are the safest imo

  11. nicecat

  12. Team Cruel

    Captain

    A) Pavard
    B) Meza

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years

      Meza

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights

      A, hope for a goal CS and 12 pts

  13. Stats King-@football2space

    Who will score more goals France or Denmark?

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      France

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

        3 goals for sure

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

      France

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      It is confirmed that France will.

    4. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Atletico/PSG/Barca v Matt Ryan...

    5. Indio
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      France.

  14. Slip it like Stevie
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 day 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, 1 day ago

      Rollisso any good?

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

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

  15. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Any danger in Uzoho not playing? Any team news?

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

      Live a little.

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

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

  18. Indio
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 day 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, 1 day ago

      I would do it but it makes no sense.

      1. Indio
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Ha ha, thanks mate.

    2. Chandler Bing

      Stick

  19. The Pep Revolution
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

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

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Pogba.

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

      Griezmann

    3. dark91
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Mbappe

    4. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Griezman or Mmmmbop

    5. Indio
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 day 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, 1 day ago

        Pogba wont score today, thats for sure..

  20. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Anybody else with Pogba ?

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

    1. Salahbrate
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Depends on his hair day

  21. RubberDucky
      8 years, 1 day ago

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

      1. SW6
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 day 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, 1 day ago

      So thats how Pavard looks...

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

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

      2. Back on the horse
        • 15 Years

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

      3. Chandler Bing
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        :p

      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 !

        Even better if they let him play as he should.
