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.

Any burning issues in this team? (Local game)

Lukaku - Cavani - Lewandowski
Neymar - JRod - Eriksen
Marcelo - Meunier - Trippier - Hector
Pickford

I am leaning towards saving my 2 free transfers.

Egypt gk Uzoho

Will do Mertens to Lewa for round 3

22m for the 3 players left. Which one?
A. Messi Meza/Layun Godin
B. Cavani Siggy/Bilva Hegazi
C. Gabriel Jesus Willian Hegazi
D. something else

  You need the money for what?
  
  There are only 2 expensive midfielders worth getting - Isco + Coutinho. In defense, there are so many great 4.5m options too that you could have just those and still have a good defense. Look at a backline of:
  
  Ochoa Uzoho
  Danilo Varela Akanji Dalsgaard Nacho
  
  If you get cheapies in midfield you can get whatever you want up front.
