Kane the Fantasy focus for England v Panama

Harry Kane (£11.0m) has overtake Kyle Walker (£6.0m) as the most popular World Cup Fantasy asset in England’s squad ahead of today’s meeting with Panama.

The Tottenham man scored both goals in the Three Lions win over Tunisia in Gameround 1 to convince 4.4 percent of managers to bring him into their squads.

That transfer market shift has taken Kane’s ownership to 9.7 percent, and above the previously most popular man in England’s ranks Walker, who sits in 8.6 percent of squads.

Ironically, Kane is not the most-owned player in this fixture. That honour falls to Panama’s budget striker Ismael Diaz whose price of £4.5m has led 10.2 percent of World Cup Fantasy managers to include him in their squads. The 21-year-old is not a sure starter for Panama and played just 27 minutes against Belgium in Gameround 1.

Elsewhere in the Panama squad, no other players have more than 2.3 percent ownership.

After Kane and Walker, Jesse Lingard (£7.0m) has the most owners in England’s ranks. The Manchester United midfielder had three big chances to score against Tunisia and is expected to continue in similar fashion against Panama.

Meanwhile, Kieran Trippier (£5.5m), who created six big chances in Gameround 1, is in just 5.7 percent of squads, his ownership perhaps tempered by a tough fixture against Belgium coming up in Gameround 3.

    Do you think Aguero will play against Nigeria or do you think they'll make changes after that defeat?

      Mooy Meza Salah for me.
      Why mooy?
      Meza is 100% a likely rotation risk for this fixture.
      We know how good Salah is but he’s not himself, they are already out. Think again for me. Defence is ok.
      If you’re WCd now you need to pick teams who NEED to perform. Who NEED a result. Look at what they are seeking (goals, just a 1-0 win?) make calculated assumptions on that rather than just the quality of the individual player.
      Hope that helps.

        Thanks.

        Australia need to win, Mooy takes set pieces and is only 7.0

        Apparently Meza did well last game & Argies need to win, again he's quite cheap.

        Salah scored last game & Saudi Arabia are awful, thought he might be good for a few goals.

      Australia are basically out. 7 can be used better elsewhere. Fair enough though.
      He was ‘ok’ last game but Argentina will get over hauled this week. Fresh faces. He’s missing out. Mark my words.
      You can use Salahs money a lot more efficiently than playing him because he plays a bad team. They are both out. It’s a friendly.

    Would you rather have Pique or Carvajal? Carvajal is .5 cheaper
