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.
