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.
