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.
