Robert Lewandowski (£9.5m) is the Fantasy focal point of Poland’s opening game of the World Cup against Senegal – but Fantasy managers have largely steered clear of this fixture.

The Bayern Munich striker is one just two players in the match with more than five percent ownership on McDonald’s FIFA World Cup Fantasy game, sitting in 8.5% of squads.

Meanwhile, midfielder Salif Sane’s lowly price of £4.5m convinced 6.6% of managers to use him as a budget enabler.

Liverpool attacker Sadio Mane (£8.5m) hasn’t been particularly fancied for goals by Fantasy managers as he is owned by just 3.6%.

POLAND XI (4-2-3-1): Szczęsny; Rybus, Pazdan, Cionek, Piszczek; Krychowiak, Zieliński; Grosicki, Milik, Błaszczykowski; Lewandowski

SENEGAL XI (4-4-1-1): K N’Diaye; Sabaly, Kouyaté, Sané, Wagué; Niang, Gueye, A N’Diaye, Sarr; Mané; Diouf.

    Uh oh.

    I told my gf to buy the wrong Ndiaye. She got no captaincy returns all week, and now has captaincy on the more expensive P. Ndiaye who isn't playing. Plus she just made her free transfer before the game started.

  7. Deulofail

    7 years, 6 months ago

    Best 5.0 mid to right my wrong? Need to replace P. Ndiaye for a hit.

    Bentancur (KSA/RUS)?

    Asking for a friend. Only a friend.

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Probably him yeah. Or even Inui at 4.5, he looked decent today

    2. 420king
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      For a hit? Not worth it unless you are struggling to have 11 starters.

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Bencantur likely to get 4 points more than P.Ndiaye over 2 games imo. With rolling subs, there are more than 11 players to care about 🙂

        1. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          That wasn't a very good argument, since 2pts * 2 is bench-worthy, but he has a chance to get returns, which Ndiaye doesn't.

    3. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Tell her to get Al Dawsari for a laugh.

      Time is a healer mate

    4. Christina.

      your friend bought the wrong one. lol

    5. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Salif Sane looks decent - he's a defender classed as 4.5 mid but has had a couple of chances of scoring already in this game

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers

        1. Deulofail
          • 9 Years

          Great shout, cheers. Him or Bencantur, I think.

          1. Deulofail
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Oops, she just bought Varela, so has 3 Uruguayans already. Looks like Sassi then 🙂

    7. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Sassi, a Russian 4.5 or Inui.

      Bentacur is rumoured to be dropped for the next game.

  8. Pukki Party

    Neymar to Ronaldo nobrainer?

    1. The Cherry Picker

    2. Epic Fail

      You used your brain to come to the conclusion that it's a no-brainer. Therefore, no.

  9. Rainer

    Taking -4s in this format is madness!

    1. Deulofail

      Not madness. Come one now.

      1. Root

        ?

      2. Rainer

        7 years, 6 months ago

        I'm against hits in FPL so it's madness to me!

        Please don't flag.

        1. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Context doesn't matter then? Just plain don't like hits. Okay 🙂

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not if it gains you more than 4 points

    3. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Perhaps but I've taken one and I'm confident that Isco + Lingard will do well in their fixtures to justify it (James + Ziyach out btw).

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        You're insaaaaane

        (Actually despite the sarcasm, I can't say I like those transfers 😀 Sorry!)

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Haha, no bother mate but both Panama & Iran are there for the taking imo!

  10. Bring the Cavalry
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Really want Ronaldo, Costa and Cavani as my strikers but they all play on the same day. Is it too risky doing that or could it pay off?

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      too risky as you could only pick one. I'd try to get a decent captaincy option almost every day.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Ronaldo Cavani Kane.

      Do that.

    3. SW6
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      You have to be confident you'll nail the captaincy, or use the max captain chip

    4. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      it could pay off.

    5. OldBenKenobi
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I think ppl are getting too hooked on captaincy options. I get the advantage of it but disregarding players that have great chance of scoring big due to it seems like a mistake to me

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        with that frontline you'd most likely only be able to have 2 decent mids and the only that are worth it imo are Brazilian and Isco. Isco also plays on the same day so you'd really only have two decent ones. I'd want at least three good captaincy options

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          That front line would have been great in the last round, even with Cavani's blank.

          1. Bad Kompany
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            "would have been great in the last round" exactly in the last round it would have been great but not necessarily this round. Let's say that whoever he captains blanks but the other two do something. Then two of his four forwards (captain counts as two) would have blanked and two would have done something. If he gets three forwards who all play on other days, he just needs one of them to do something to have two of his four get points. It just helps his odds of getting more points

            1. Epic Fail
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Aye I get the risks, just saying it can work. Especially when the players you bring in are ones that can easily score braces and hattricks.

              1. Bad Kompany
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                could work but less likely is all I'm saying. 2 on the same day seems fine to me but 3 just seems like an unnecessary risk

            2. Bring the Cavalry
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              I just think Costa v Iran, Cavani v SA and Ronaldo v Morocco they are bound to get goals.
              Also have Coutinho/Kimmich to fall back on. Other option is go Messi over Ronaldo but Croatia are a lot better than Morroco.

              1. Bad Kompany
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                Wouldn't want to fall back on a defender although it could work. I'd just want more than two options but it definately could work

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Exactly this.

      3. jia you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe but bouncing it onto Lukaku saved my gameweek after Cavani & Neymar fails!

  11. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Early Argentina lineup looks likely to be:

    ---------------Caballero-----------
    ----Mercado-Otamendi-Tagliafico---
    Salvio--Mascherano-??????-Acuna
    ------Messi-----Aguero----Pavon---

    The ?????? is either Meza or Perez. This lineup looks horrendous imo, but it's what we're working with.

    1. The EJJ
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Meza gonna start no?

      1. The EJJ
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I sound like Jar Jar

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Not a guarantee. I'd say 60% likely.

        2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Meza hope that meza fantasy team score lot of goals

  12. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Who are your captains this next round then?

    Mine are: Suarez, Eriksen, Jesus, Lukaku, James

    1. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Werner, Yoshida

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Cavani/Costa, Eriksen, Willian, Lukaku, James

    3. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Same but with Cavani not Suarez.

    4. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Godin, Eriksen, Coutinho/Mitrovic, Mertens, jRod

    1. Norman Conquest

    3. kinghenry14
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      inui looked decent imo

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      They're probably hoping he starts vs Saudi.

  14. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years

    Evra is another good upbeat pundit. The tide may be changing away from a decade of miserable tv pundits. GOOD.

    Get your coat Lawrenson and Hoddle....

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Expression "stealing a living" was invented for Lawrenson. I'd hate to be his co-commentator listening to the lazy and snide comments.

    I like the way the BBC say live matches on BBC1 are "Live on BBC1" and live matches on ITV are "Live on Radio 5 Live" - like anyone is not going to realise it's on ITV.

  16. OldBenKenobi

    7 years, 6 months ago

    If Salah starts for Egypt surely he’s a “no brainer” at his price?
    Good remaining fixtures and Egypt needing 2 wins?

    1. GoonerByron
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Takes up a striker spot though

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      If I knew he was 100% fit I would consider

    3. Epic Fail

      Egypt are shite though.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I’d say the remaining 2 teams they play are worse though

    Which one of these moves looks the best for next round ONLY:

    A) Neymar -> Kane
    B) Neymar -> Kane, James -> Coutinho/Isco (-4)
    C) Neymar -> Suarez, Ziyach -> Isco (-4) ~ one captain less + already have Cavani

    I know Neymar might play, but too risky considering his price.

      Just A imo

    Do we think Pavard starts the next game?

      Even if he does, France will concede, so it's not a matter of great worry for owners

      Peru has to win and is a good side. France will concede.

    J.Rod (prefer Isco next 2), C.Sanchez (Red card for Colombia) & Pavard (might not start for France next game?) > Isco, Cheryshev (or Layun/Meza?) & Sabaly for a -8? Thanks.

      2 goals in about 200 career league appearances, so there's a chance.
