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.

    Does anyone have any england attackers though? Are they worth getting on WC?

        Do you?

      Most went for Lukaku over Kane. The captaincy rules meant it only made sense to have one.

    3. Nomar

      I don’t but wanted Kane if he was a bit cheaper.

      Got Kane but forgot to change armband to him. These daily changes are difficult to keep on top of

      1. Piggs Boson

        It's why I struggle to play Sky. Requires too much admin.

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 day ago

          Didn't know Sky had that for the prem too. Nightmare!

      Tunisia look worse than Panama, to be fair.

    World class save to no avail and then injured. Poor bloke.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Not sure he’s going to score you much, to be fair.

    2. Piggs Boson

      Carrier pigeon?

    Tunisia marking on the corner that led to the goal was awful though.

    Bloody heck cheering at the screen only to realise the players in white are not England

          You should get yourself a mosquito net.

      Harish Kaneeny got the first goal BTW.

        That's what happens when you import the third world #jks

    Trippier coming into my team

  11. CloudSky
    • 9 Years

    This looks really smooth.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Jameson ?

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

        No, but you had the right idea. Hope I have some ice.

  12. diesel001

    England players showing some movement off the ball. Not like them.

  13. Rainer

    Hendo lad 😮

  14. Jafooli

    Imagine Henderson makes a CL & WC final in the same year.

    Let that sink in.

  15. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Trippier assist denied by everyone.

  16. fenixri
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Is tripp rotation risk?

    1. Lewa
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      yep

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Not really

  17. Fantastisk
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Dele Alli dive.

  18. Lewa
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Mexico to keep a cs against South-Korea and Sweden?

    1. Louis_Sans_Balls
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      both sides looked quite poor with the difference being a penalty so I'd say barring another VAR pen then Yes, very likely

      1. Lewa
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Layun looks like a great pick...

  19. dvdguy

    What’s going on? England actually playing decent attacking football.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      I know. Joined the game just on 10 minute mark and saw team in white playing badly.

      Fooled me, I thought it was England!

  20. HamezMace
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    I know it's only 20 minutes, but what a great start from England, good tempo, nice movement off the ball, good energy and confidence. Playing how an England team should. Very impressed.

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      For once they’ve got a team in which the players are happy and proud to play for the shirt. Southgate has brought a good ethos to the team.

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        He has, I've been very impressed with how he has spoken, and gone about the job in general.

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

      And Tunisia Is not that bad team

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Not at all.

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Southgate decided to skip out having a midfield so its hardly a suprise this 3-1-6 formation is attacking well.

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        But it suits England, I don't want to see them with two holding midfielders in games we should dominate.

    4. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      It's Tunisia.

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Plenty of higher ranked teams than England, have struggled against much lower ranked teams than Tunisia.

        You can only play who's in front of you, and it's more about how england are playing, rather than who they are playing.

    5. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      They have started well but you can not jump to too many conclusions until they play a decent team.

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        I'm not planning my next tattoo, just impressed with the start, far too often England go into these tournaments afraid to play, looks different this time

    6. Louis_Sans_Balls
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      lot of balls by Southgate to go with 1 holding instead of 2 as speculated. This should ensure plenty of goal chances but wonder if it might backfire defensively. It's the most offensive side England could throw out there so kudos to him in rolling the dice

  21. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    There is high line defences, and then there is England.

  22. Sim Simma

    Ashley Young being schooled

    How did Tunisia get to the World Cup? They are dreadful

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Because England are beating them? They are raked 21 in the World and are probably better than that

    2. dvdguy
      • 10 Years

      Still better than the Saudis

  29. Fred54

    Lingaard in the that form when we all brought him in...
