Suspended Sanchez most-owned asset for Poland v Colombia

The most popular World Cup Fantasy asset in Poland v Colombia won’t actually feature in the match.

That’s because Carlos Sanchez (£4.5m), owned by 14.5 percent of managers, will miss Gameround 2 due to suspension.

The Colombian midfielder was sent off for a hand-ball against Japan, conceding a penalty in the process.

2014’s break-out star James Rodriguez (£9.0m) still has 11.5 percent backing despite missing out on a starting place in Gameround 1 due to injury.

For Poland, their go-to man is Robert Lewandowksi (£9.5m), with 7.2 percent ownership.

Apart from Wojciech Szczesny (£5.0m), no other player in Poland’s ranks has more than 3.1 percent ownership.

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Ronaldo, Salah, Messi
    Coutinho, JRod, Cueva, Badri, Inui
    Carvajal, Fagner, Tagliafico, Akanji, Hegazy
    Alowais, Ochoa

      Not sure on Salah. The rest looks good

      This is mine:
      Costa Ronaldo Messi
      Coutinho Shaqiri Isco Sanchez Sassi
      Advincula Fagner Akanji Hegazy Jannson
      Ben Mustapha Gallese

      ive been on Salah but got talked out of it & went with Reus instead,

    3. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Fagner nailed?

  2. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    James vs. Isco on the WC is looking settled to me now. James it is.

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Not both? Whats your WC team?

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Similar to yours.

        Sommer - Ben Mustafa
        Guerreiro - Ramos - Rudiger - Akanji - Hegazy
        Coutinho - James - Quintero - Inui - Gazinsky
        Ronaldo - Messi - Reus

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Originally had Isco and Fagner over Hegazy and James. May still reverse that.

  3. Murder On Zidanesfloor
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    RMWCT

    Sommer / Ben Mustafa
    Cedric/Akanji/Mojica/Tagliafico/Advincula
    Quintero/isco/coutinho/Lingard/Inui
    Ronaldo/Messi/Reus

    Any feedback appreciated 🙂

      One of the best I’ve seen

        Thanks lester

    2. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Lingard is risky

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        How come??

        1. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Might not start with Southgate hinting at heavy rotation

  4. Balls of Steel
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Guys if Boateng is suspended who can we expect to play at centre back for Germany against Korea Republic?

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Rudiger

      1. Balls of Steel
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers, so most likely a back four of Kimmich, Hummels (if fit) Rudiger, Hector right?

          Sule could start in place of Hummels or Rüdiger.

    As brilliant as Inui is, just realized he cost me the Fair Play Ambassador achievement.

    1. Red Dagger ✪

      Man I wanted that so bad also.....

  6. noahzark22
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone else fancy Siggy needing a win to advance vs a resting Croatia team?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yes actually. Considering him over Coutinho

  7. UNDERSCORE
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    where does it show in the fifa fantasy app the red/yellow card info about players?

  8. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Current backline: Kimmich, Godin, Munier*, Danilo*, Varela*

    Considering taking a hit for Danilo + Varela > RRod + Cedric, and just hoping that Munier plays. (Otherwise I could get Marcelo + 4.5m)

    How does that look? Is Cedric a risk or good bet?

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I have almost the same back line. I really don't want to WC. So also fishing for suggestions.....

    2. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      You can get Fagner for 5.0.

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        You think he's better than Cedric (IRN) or RRod (CRC)?

        1. CloudSky
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          No

  9. Louis_Sans_Balls
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    I recall in past Fifa fantasy versions they would notify you when a player could not play due to injury or suspension, why am I not seeing this anymore? Did they get rid of this?

    For example Sanchez is suspended for this match and yet there is no red icon or anything to let you know this? Am I missing something?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      No, it doesn't tell us anymore.

      1. Louis_Sans_Balls
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        that sucks! that puts a lot of pressure on us to keep up with news and stuff

  10. Il Papera
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Any love for Khazri v Panama?

    Thinking of replacing Cavani (got Costa and Kane) and options are:
    A Salah
    B Khazri
    C Reus
    D Lewandowski
    E Jesus
    F Keep him

    Thoughts please 🙂

    1. Epic Fail

        Thanks, leaning towards Reus but very tempted by Khazri vs that Panama lot!

  11. JJeyy
    • 8 Years

    Best transfer:

    A) Danilo + Varela ---> Rodriguez + Rudiger (-4)
    B) Danilo ---> Rodriguez

    To have Lewabdowski and to not have idea how to utilise him is a crime...
    Going to have a little cry in the toilet now, like a real men.

      Been shocking

  13. squ1rrel
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Already took a -4 hit, am not really worried about a -8. Which one is worth it, or should I not even take an extra hit?

    A. Kane -> Ronaldo/Messi/any other forward
    B. Meunier -> Kimmich
    C. Varela -> Any 6.0 or lower def.
    D. Cavani -> Werner or Salah

    2. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      C or D. Kane on golden boot mission against rested Belgian team. That's what I'm telling myself anyway.

  14. Kolarov Fpl Legend
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    @professor bear

    Someone else from this team under threat aside Varela, Gimenez, & Meza that you know of?

    Ochoa, B.Mustafa

    Maguire, RRodrigez, Guerreiro

    Inui, Isco, Coutinho, Layun

    Kane, Ronaldo, Costa

    Don't have any one play on the R3 2nd day but Ronaldo, Reus & J Rod should get me some decent scores from a Captain, right?

    Senegals chances of getting out the group not looking too bright 🙁

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      They might go up even with a loss. I reckon they'll be ok

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Go up? Get out the group.

      2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        If Colombia win tonight, Poland would have to beat Japan for that to happen, and I really don't see that happening considering form. Real shame Senegal couldn't hold on to their leads today for them, but I think it was a fair result for Japan who played well.

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      It looks better than Japan's chances imo

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Japan looked good today. Think they have a better chance against Poland than Senegal do against Colombia, who should win this match right now.
