Lukaku favourite to unlock Tunisia for Belgium

643 Comments

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.

    My concern with Lukaku coming off is that a knock must put him un doubt to play v England, especially with Belgium already through and only needing a draw to top the group

    Correct me if I’m wrong. Best time to wc is before gameweek 3 or before the semis, right?

    I’m leaning toward semis...which would mean you are guaranteed to have all 15 players that would either get points for the final and the third place match.

    When are you guys wc’ing?

      It's fairly str8 forward. Only 3 transfers in the Qtrs or you can do it next week.
      Greater returns if you do it now vs having to be a really good guesser later on but after QFs TFs shouldn't be a problem

      There was so much promise for African football in the early mid 90s but the reality is that as teams they just have not developed players in all areas of the pitch or developed as teams compared to the European ones.

    It looks like the Serbia vs Swiss match up will come down to whether I can nail a captain pick in the next two days. Fortunately I have Granqvist (C) at the moment.

    Delofail is facing charges for political gestures so may be disqualified for the swiss.
