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.

    Who should I replace Meunier with?
    1.0 ITB, so can afford anyone, or downgrade him as well.

    Currently have Sabaly danilo varela Rodriguez

      Is that your only transfer? If so, why get rid?

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I’m on WC

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Alba

  2. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    A- Muller > Coutinho (better for captaincy rotation)
    B - Werner > Costa (Werner rotation risk?)
    C - Other

    Muslera / Uzoho
    Varela /Trippier / Pavard / Mojica / Meunier
    Isco / Muller / Cueva / Grosicki / Colindres
    Cavani / Lukaku / Werner

    Which mid would you transfer out and to who
    Ljajic Cueva Belhanda J Rodriguez

    1. The Cherry Picker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      James

  4. bengan1113
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    A. Messi -> Suarez
    B. Jesus -> Costa (or Silva?)
    C. Aldawsari -> Nandez

    If Neymar is out (source?), is Jesus more likely to play or not?

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      B.) Costa

  5. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Layun, please don’t become the new aldawsari

  6. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Invest in Mexico for a 5.0 defender? If so who?

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Goalie

  7. The Cherry Picker
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Every yellow card in this group is useful for England.

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

      😆

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      However a red card has been the most effective so far

  8. hooosay
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Which one?
    A:Godin+Akanji
    B:Varela+Ricardo Rodriguez

    1. The Cherry Picker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. PickleRick
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      B, Rodriguez on set-pieces

  9. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts?

    - max cap to be played
    - worried about no Kane

    Ochoa, Uzoho
    Godin, Maguire, Varela, Dalsgaard, Akanji
    Coutinho, Eriksen, Isco, Layun, Inui
    Ronaldo, Cavani, Costa

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not yet, later when there is fewer players to choose from

  10. Kolarov Fpl Legend
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I hate when they complicate corners.

  11. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Senegal impressive so far, well drilled and physical at the back and quick on the counter

  12. Chandler Bing
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Should I be wildcarding this team?

    Uzoho Al Muaiouf
    Trippier Meunier Pavard Varela Sabaly
    Eriksen JRod Ljajic Al Dawsari Paulinho
    Cavani Lukaku Griezmann

    Or just do JROD + Al Dawsari -> Isco + Layun

  13. Kasper the ghost keeper
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Much underlying statistics to suggest Latin will get a score?

    1. Kasper the ghost keeper
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      *Layun

  14. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Sacrificing a premium midfielder and going heavy in defence. Hope it pays off!

    Salah(c) - Kane - Suarez
    Layun - Eriksen - Isco - Gazinsky - Inui
    Danilo - Godin - Pique - Kimmich - Rodriguez
    Sommer - Uzoho

  15. Lav
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    A. Jesus —> Costa
    B. Mbappe —> Costa
    C. Belhanda —> Layun

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      C

    2. Kasper the ghost keeper
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I have the same decision but with just A and C

  16. Chandler Bing
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Should I be wildcarding this team?

    Uzoho Al Muaiouf (Saudi)
    Trippier Meunier Pavard Varela Sabaly
    Eriksen JRod Ljajic Al Dawsari Paulinho
    Cavani Lukaku Griezmann

    Or just do JROD + Al Dawsari -> Isco + Layun

  17. Mr. Jenkins
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Why the sudden need for replacing meunier?

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      There isn't any need for it. The guy is on a wc so he's thinking ahead.

  18. The Cherry Picker
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

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

      Was 62 but then moved out 2 x 2pt'ers to bring in J.Rod & C.Sanchez for today...oops 55 total...average.

    4. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      62 + Sabaly

  19. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Suarez over Cavani Y/N

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

      Its a coin flip
      Go with your gut

    2. Kasper the ghost keeper
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Suarez for penalties

  20. 420king
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Sabaly "close" to an assist there.

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

      Sabaly chance created +BPS 😉

  21. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    A) Eriksen + Maguire

    B) Lingard + Kimmich

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A.)

  22. Ten Season Wonder
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    worth a hit?
    Dzagoev & Jesus >> Layun & Kane

  23. anish10
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Jesus > Costa

    Jesus > Salah

    Keep Jesus?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Costa

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

    Have we had a 0-0 yet?

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      We would if VAR didn't exist.

    2. caldracula
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Was just about to say I think we may be heading for our first one.

  25. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Best 5m defender?

    Defence is Meunier Maguire Varela Akanji

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Mex guy

  26. Slip it like Stevie
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Is maguire's spot under a big threat?

  27. Jack Frost
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    To replace C. Sanchez, a 4 point hit is very large in comparison to what a new 4.5 mid can do. This depends of course that another of your 14 players needs replacing.

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Would you do cueva and jesus to Inui and kane -4?

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

      No

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I heard cueva is a doubt? Would you still not do it?

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

          If he was ruled out yes.

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes tbh.

    3. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes.

  29. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Salah worth it over ronaldo Cavani or kane? Probably not eh

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

      Not this round

    2. Jack Frost
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      If he falls on the same shoulder (right?) then you got an issue with the next game.

  30. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
