Fantasy managers look to Griezmann for goals

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.

      Spot on. People are too critical of England.

      Look at how lucky Uruguay got yesterday at the death, again England fans would be questioning what took so long.

      Even if we were in Portugal or Spain’s position there would be negativity over conceding 3 goals. Or throwing away the lead.

      It’s all about quantity over quality which means more $$$

      A bit like FFS

      Agreed. Gonna dilute this tournament to third rate behind Euros and South American in terms of quality.

      The worry is that folk start to reach for the off button all too often....and they will.

      Also when you have 2 from a group of 3 going through I bet there will be some dodgy final group games where both teams are happy with a draw as it sends them both through

      FIFA will keep on expanding it to take the $ bribes, until someone points out there aren't as many countries in the world as there are places available in the finals....

      The fact that we are arguing tells me it shouldn't have been given on review. If given then reviewed, I'd agree a pen.
