Japan v Senegal a match for extreme differentials

Japan and Senegal are set to play out another World Cup Group H match that has been largely overlooked by Fantasy managers.

In fact, no player in this fixture is owned by more than 6.6 percent on McDonald’s FIFA World Cup Fantasy.

The most popular asset is Japan left-back Hiroki Sakai (£4.0m) who appears to have reclaimed his starting place after recovering from an injury. He registered three assists in qualifying and could seriously pay dividends at a cut-price with a good performance against Senegal.

As World Cup Fantasy managers look to fill their squads with penalty-takers now that VAR has had an impact on the game, Shinji Kagawa (£6.5m) has earned more owners this week. He now sits in 4.6 percent of squads.

Outside of that, it’s budget punts for most Fantasy managers. Takashi Inui (£4.5m) did very well for Japan on their left-win against Colombia and has the backing of 3.2 percent today.

Youssouf Sabaly (£4.0m) and Salif Sane (£4.5m) are the go-to budget-enablers for Senegal, while Liverpool’s Sadio Mane (£8.5m) owned by 3.3 percent.

World Cup Data

We’re delighted to offer World Cup data as an early addition to our regular season offering to help those playing Fantasy games over the summer.

We’ve secured Opta data, not only for the tournament itself, but also from the Qualifying Rounds for Europe and South America and for international friendlies involving the participating nations. This includes all the matches played right up to the tournament kick-off.

Just to stress, this World Cup offering comes packaged with the regular Fantasy Football Scout membership.

    Price changes before round of 16 - will they only be for active players? Or also for players from knocked out teams?

    Say Japan are eliminated for instance - I'm guessing Inui for example will stay the same price?

        If you own a player that goes up in value do you reap the benefits? If so WC GW3 should try to get price rises to use in future.

            That throws a spanner in the work. There might be a downside to get a player of a team eliminated that has a great final fixture (Egypt, Tunisia, Peru)

                So prices go up depending on their previous points? Then I guess Inui will work well. Getting Tunisia or Peru defenders hoping for their first clean sheet may back fire though?

                Yeah. I haven't found any good info on what causes price rises and falls. If it just players who don't play I guess there's nothing to be worried about
