Tunisia v England: Walker the go-to Fantasy asset

Kyle Walker (£6.0m) is the headline World Cup Fantasy for England ahead of their first game of Russia’s finals.

The Manchester City wing-back has become one of the most assured of starts in Gareth Southgate’s back-three, as a makeshift centre-back.

His importance to the Three Lions has convinced a tenth of World Cup Fantasy managers to sign him for Gameround 1.

Jesse Lingard (£7.5m) is the next most-popular in 6.9% of squads with expensive forward Harry Kane (£11.0m) in 6.6%.

With selection a possibility in midfield and attack, Dele Alli (£9.0m) and Raheem Sterling (£9.0m) are both before four percent ownership.

The most popular player in Tunisia’s ranks is striker Ahmed Kalil (£4.5m), who is not expected to get much game-time Russia. However, four percent of managers have opted to use him as a budget enabler.

Meanwhile, left-back Ali Maaloul’s (£4.5m) three assists in qualifying and recent friendlies has one percent including him on a punt.

    Cahil would have buried that

  7. Godfather Bandit 42

    Clinical shooting by England

    look at that. Kane rugby tackled, no pen. DISGACEFUL BIAS

    1. Wild Rover

      Stones push before it

        I didn't see that tbf. My emotions are running high 😀

    How was that not a Pen

    1. Fantastisk
      • 6 Years

      It was.

      1. Sim Simma

        not for the foul on Kane

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      Kane one?

      Oh God, now unarticulated pundits will have a field day.

      Best will be Alan Shearer who hates VAR but will shout at the rafters about Where was VAR then...

  10. Piggs Boson

    Disgraceful VAR decisions.

    1. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      How was that not a Kane penalty ?

  11. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    The ref gave the Walker foul by himself. Do you think if he said no VAR would have over ruled him? Hmmm.....

    1. Fantastisk

      Walker lucky to still be on the pitch. A strike to the face.

  12. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Good thing Trippier is on set pieces. Still chance of returns

    R.I.P V.A.R !

    This is starting to look like a Championship game now.

    1. Fantastisk

      Tunisia being dragged down to England's level.

  15. Brosstan

    Lol they actually reviewed that Kane rugby tackle and DIDNT give it. Laughable.

    1. Fantastisk
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Never a pen.

  16. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Blatant peno denied

  17. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Where's that guy with 3X England defenders?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Trippier (c) prob worse.

  18. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Is a rugby tackle in the box worthy of a half time VAR red card?

  19. Patch
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    So relieved I don't own Lingard, what a liability...

    1. Patch
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Dam trippier pretty good, pity he looks like an ugly fat version of Orlando bloom

      Ouch Lingard owners

  20. Djemba-Djemba

    Yikes. What was Walker thinking?!

  21. Zilla

    England are wasting too many chances.

  22. Brosstan

    Maguire is absolutely dominating the Tunisian defenders. Could have had 3 assists already from headers in the box.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      TBF his headers cover everything in the 6 yard box. 😉

  23. Sim Simma

    Someone must have jinxed Lingard big-time

    1. Patch
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      He must be due a goal in 2H

    2. FPL ZB

      Yep, that was me.

  24. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Unlucky, Lingard.

  25. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Lingard missing them for fun

  26. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Sorry guys, I bet Lingard to score anytime before kick off. My fault.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Thats ok, his hattrick in the second half is fine by me.

    2. Fantastisk
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      That's a bad bet mate, he can't score before kick off.

    3. Godfather Bandit 42
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      To score AFTER kick off would have been a better bet......

  27. Dr Van Nostrand

    1. Patch
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Same way Argentina etc.

      Give it a rest.

      Had plenty of chances from open play.
