Once again Antoine Griezmann (£10.0m) is the go-to Fantasy option as France get ready for their second match of the World Cup.
However the Atletico Madrid striker has lost some of his owners to those scrambling to get Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.0m) and Diego Costa (£9.0m) in their sides.
Griezmann went into the Australia match owned by 25 percent of managers, he starts today in just 23.2 percent of squads despite winning a penalty and converting it in Gameround 1.
Just under nine percent opted to cover the France attack at a cheaper rate with Kylian Mbappe (£9.0m).
Budget option N’Golo Kante remains a popular asset with 20 percent ownership while some Fantasy managers are sure that France will keep their first clean sheet of the tournament today.
Raphael Varane (£6.0m) is in 14.7 percent of squads while Hugo Lloris (£6.0m) and Samuel Umtiti (£6.0m) are in 12.4 and 10.6 respectively.
Despite missing his penalty against Denmark, Christian Cueva (£6.0m) is the still the most-owned Peruvian asset, in two percent of squads.
With penalty-taking duties still an important factor in his appeal, he also registered nine touches in the opposition box in Gameround 1, more than any other midfielder at the tournament so far.
THE STARTING LINE-UPS
FRANCE XI (4-3-3): Lloris, Pavard, Varane, Umtiti, Hernández; Pogba, Kanté, Matuidi; Griezmann, Mbappé, Giroud
PERU XI (4-2-3-1): Gallese; Advincula, Rodriguez, Ramos, Trauco; Aquino, Yotun; Flores, Cueva, Carrillo; Guerrero.
