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.

  6. Feloh

    1. Les Bleus

  7. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

  8. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A bad case of the twist!

  9. FPL Scoop

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Dunno why you'd make that switch anyway

    3. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you do that?

      1. FPL Scoop

    How much pomade do these guys put on their head?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think it’s genetic

      1. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Didn't mean the Belgians.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A **** load - wouldn't want heading the ball to mess things up

  12. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is this Phil Neville as co-commentator?...he must get a bit nervous because he really sounds like he's not relaxed at all.

  13. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Decided to stick with Eriksen.
    Now if Kaku stays quiet. . .

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Same with Phil

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years

      Cat.

  14. Rainer

    Donkey touch is back.

  15. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku - first touch let him down

  16. Chandler Bing
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    There's his touch again

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He has the touch of a therapist.

  17. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Good man, Rom.

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No sarcasm there - was talking about the way he got up and apologised to the ref.

  18. Ghost Gooner
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku's 1st touch is terrible

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Grass is green.

    2. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Water is not wet

  19. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lolkaku

  20. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    jesus the left back is awful,

  21. Murder On Zidanesfloor
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Any update on Danilo injury?

  22. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Tunisia's defense is so bad. Ill bad sad if Belgium dont score at least 4

  23. Chandler Bing
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Take the shot Kaku!

  24. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Perversely, VAR could've given a penalty for that Lukaku fall.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Would have been good if VAR overruled him.

  25. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    If Tunisia's defence is so bad, maybe that puts into context how England struggled to score 2.

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      England was extremely wasteful. Should have had 4 goals at least

    2. Waynoo
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      lingard and sterling missed sitters

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      But is it not going home? I thought the parade had been organised and everything...

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Only Scots think England fans think this way. Mass delusion north of the border. Must be all the brainwashing.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I'm English and I can confirm it's coming home.

  26. UshFPL
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I'm becoming less confident in Tunisia's ability to keep a clean sheet vs Panama by the minute

    1. MEGPAL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They’re as dire as it gets at this tournament

  27. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    It needs saying . How did England struggle against this lot?...and the reality is they did...

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They struggled with finishing. Thats all.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Broadband?

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Fiberoptics

    2. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Oh I dunno. England too had a bright start, not too dissimilar to Belgium's. Only difference is the goals going in.

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Tunisia did not play as open as this against England. Tunisia leaving more players up the pitch - presumably because they know they have to win.

      1. Hamstergod
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, their coach even said in an interview something around the lines of what's the point of parking the bus, when it's their last chance to qualify

    4. SW6
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think we struggled at all really. I don't remember them creating a chance. Also Tunisia have to win today, against us a draw was a good result.

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Surely it's classified as a 'struggle' if you only win with an injury time goal?

    5. MEGPAL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Reality is could have won by 5

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        But didn't

    6. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Tbf they are attacking more than they did vs England and are less compact. They are fighting for their WC survival now

    7. Waynoo
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      same way Belgium are currently

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Aye...games changing...

    8. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      plus england was playing with a wonky VAR machine

  28. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Donkey down with boot off.

  29. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku may be coming off

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why is that?

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That’s a true statement for anyone.

      KDB May also come off at some point

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Hope so. Nice and rested ready to put England where they belong 😆

        1. GREEN IS GOOD
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Putting England into the next round with finishing like that.

  30. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Tunisia's best player down
