Lukaku favourite to unlock Tunisia for Belgium

World Cup Fantasy managers are hoping for points returns from familiar Belgian faces once again as they take on Tunisia today.

Romelu Lukaku (£10.0m) heads into the match as the most popular asset with 15.8 percent ownership after netting a brace in the 3-0 win over Panama.

Meanwhile, 15.2 percent of managers continue to look to the budget midfielder Yannick Carrasco (£6.5m), who was not involved in any of the goals against Panama but still had a bright game.

Kevin De Bruyne (£10.0m), who assisted Lukaku’s first on Monday afternoon, has picked up more owners and now sits in 13 percent of squads.

Thomas Meunier (£6.0m) was another player who performed well last time out despite not picking up any attacking returns. He has the support of 9.5 percent of managers who are drawn to him by his classification as a defender and the fact that he pulled in four points for a clean sheet against Panama.

At the other end of the pitch, Thibaut Courtois (£6.0m) has been backed by 13.3 percent of managers to register another clean sheet, after Tunisia registered fewer shots in the box (five) than any other side in Gameround 1.

It should be no surprise then that Fantasy managers have largely steered away from Tunisia once again. The most popular player in their squad is forward Ahmed Khalil (£4.5m) who did not feature against England. The 4.4 percent invested in him clearly trusting him with a place their squads based on his price and nothing more.

    Nice one Kaku. Hope Mourinho is watching these games. Both Kaku and Pogba look so much better, and France havent even played well.

    Lovely from Lukaku. All my players to have played so far have contributed more than 3pts now. Let's hope England keep a CS tomorrow and James gets an assist or goal.
