Mexicans overlooked again ahead of Korea match

Mexico appear to have been overlooked for another World Cup Fantasy match despite upsetting holders Germany in their opening fixture.

No player in their squad has more than 8.5 percent ownership ahead of an appealing fixture against South Korea.

Their most popular asset is goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa (£5.0m) who was forced into nine saves against Germany and is expected to add a second clean sheet today.

South Korea had zero shots on target in their Gameround 1 meeting with Sweden and just five efforts on goal in total.

Despite that, no defender in Mexico’s squad has more than the 1.6 percent ownership of Hector Ayala (£5.0m).

Miguel Layun (£5.5m), who provided three assists in qualifying, has been discussed as a decent budget option for Mexico’s two remaining fixtures but sits in just 3.2 percent of squads.

Meanwhile, the two players who combined for Mexico’s winner against Germany in Hirving Lozano (£8.0m) and Javier Hernandez (£8.5m).

As for South Korea, the only interest in their squad is in their budget players, Substitute goalkeeper Kim Jin-hyeon (£4.0m) and Jung Seung-hyun (£4.0m) the only assets owned by over two percent. Neither of them were involved against Sweden.

  18. travis45
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Fancy Mexico to finish top now and make Germany Brazil last 16 very likely

    Colombia unlikely to top their group too

    England and Belgium will try their best to lose their match

    I know I laughed at the time. But is Tite okay after his fall yesterday? Seemed to be limping.

    Was he hospitalized or something?

    1. Critical Observer

    With no Ozil, Muller is on pens.

      You may not think he's better than Ronaldo but he's certainly not a fraud

  25. Louis_Sans_Balls
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Any news of starters being rested for France vs Denmark?

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      a tad early yet mate

    2. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      not that I've heard of.

  26. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Yet to break 100 pts in this game. Either I'm shite or just unlucky or both.

    1. Louis_Sans_Balls
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I think I just might finally do it after today or tomorrow, unless I jinx myself 🙂

      1. Louis_Sans_Balls
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        still time tho mate, don't give up. Have you played any chips yet?

      2. FER FUSCH AKE
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Need 9 from mueller , kimmich and mojica. Almost certain I'll get 5 or 6 based on how crappy my luck has been of late.

        1. Louis_Sans_Balls
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          No!!! don't jixn me, stay positive *thumbs up*

  27. UshFPL
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Rudiger is gonna score a header. Just thought I should let you know

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      In which game?

      1. UshFPL
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Not sure. He'll probably only play in this one. Sounds very weird but I had a dream that he'd score a header in the world cup ages ago

    2. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      time will tell

  28. fenixri
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Wc for r3 or save it for QFs, decisions, decisions...

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      What are you leaning towards?

      1. fenixri
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        The more i look my team the more I want to wc now, but it will be scary later with only 3 transfers for QFs

    2. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      QF IMO.

    3. JLAEST
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Unless you have a really bad team now, QF. Only 3 transfers means if you bet on one loser you’re in trouble for the next round and may compromise your full tournament.

  29. Scotty B
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    How's the WC looking now?

    Caballero
    Miranda Lovren Granqvist
    Shaqiri Coutinho Muller Cheryshev
    Lewandowski Costa Ronaldo

    Uzoho Gazinsky Sakai Sabaly

    1. Louis_Sans_Balls
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      ooofff those keepers tho

      1. Scotty B
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        If that's all thays wrong in happy 🙂
        Can always replace Caballero also, anyone better @5.0?

      2. UshFPL
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        This. Transfer them and you're good. Swiss defence would be ideal

    2. Bragazeti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Muller isn't the focal point of attack. I would consider Eriksen

    3. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Serbia will score, get Kimmich. Or another German defender.
