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.

    So how to avoid Colombia from an England pov?

    1. ManLikeMeyler (Team Argenti…
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Hard to know where Colombia will finish, i.e there is no way

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        We play after them.

        We literally will know where they have finished.

      Lose to Belgium. Will play Japan most likely then

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

        I wouldn't count on that

    Has everyone seen the Salah / Chechnya controversy?

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

      The Egyptian FA never stops with controversial things. Absolutely insane.

    2. Waynoo
      • 10 Years

      no why

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

        Nobody really knows yet what's going on but he was given honorary citizenship of Chechnya by its leader. Chechnya is a ... Weird place

      They will get through only for England to exit in the quarter finals on pens.

  5. Hampe

    Lost on last page. Who to get for Lewa? (The best ones already picked obviously)

  6. Chucky

      I prefer it

  7. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years

    Hamessssss!!! The Eriksen, Coutinho and James triplet worked out well! Hopefully Mojica holds on for CS

  8. ManLikeMeyler (Team Argenti…
    • 5 Years

    Falcao off

    1. ManLikeMeyler (Team Argenti…
      • 5 Years

      Bacca on

  9. Scheister
    • 11 Years

    Need to ship Danilo out, I suppose.
    Best 5.5 defender?

    1. George James

      Rudiger

  10. Stats Don\'t Lie

    Feel absolutely disgusted and cheated as a Poland fan! Refereeing been awful!

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

      I think this game has been reasonably refereed. Poland have just not been particularly good.

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Evident penalty on Lewandowski at 1-0

        1. ManLikeMeyler (Team Argenti…
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Was nothing in it. Poland were demolished, had nothing to do with the ref.

          1. Stats Don\'t Lie
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Appreciate your input and classy comments mate! Have been awful but can't help and feel unlucky

            1. ManLikeMeyler (Team Argenti…
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              Not true. Have a lovely day.

    2. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years

      Feel your pain pal. Poland have been bitterly dissapointing tho.

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, we have, but playing bad and then not getting all the rub of the green against you is like salt in the wounds :/

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

          Unfortunately there have been a lot of strange non-penalty calls this WC. It will be strange to see how they explain it after the refereeing conference after the group stage.

        2. BUZZBOMB
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Unfortunately it happens mate. Regularly. A sore one to take but be proud. Still my favourite international strip ever if that helps. Zbigniew Boniek had his share of the pain too.

  11. Scotty B
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Falcao or Werner for round 3?

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Absolutely.

      1. Scotty B

        Which one lol?

      2. ManLikeMeyler (Team Argenti…

      Same, not talking about fantasy football though

  16. Rainer

    C'mon JRod giz a goal!

  17. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Eriksen 8 out for isco 3
    James 9 out for couts 7
    Pavard 6 out for Denmark def 2
    Lukaku 9 out for Cavani 2

    Chernysev 7 to pavon 1 last minute on wc

    I'd have cleared 100 points this gw that's the way the cookie crumbles I guess

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      But instead you made a series of shambolic transfers for no reason

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I have absolutely no defence . Guilty as charged

        Managed a sweet 78 though but that's all with players I would have had

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          That's a quality score all things considered but I think Eriksen & Lukaku out made zero sense. Not hindsight, I had them both and never considered trading either. Lesson learned.

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            To be honest I had a poor gw 1. Very poor and I think I knee jerked a bit. I was worried about no Uruguay vs saudi and all my mini leagues had Suarez or Cavani. Poor from me the time I've been playing fantasy football I played like a novice . I blame myself only

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Who have you transferred out for Round 3 please?

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Not sure yet . Danilio for Ramos is my intended one so avoid Ramos I guess

    3. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I don't really understand the Lukaku or Eriksen out tbh... Pavard is unlucky and he looks like he wont play this week at least. Pavon is a strange one too..

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I wanted Costa and Cavani. Cavani vs saudi wasn't too bad a choice before the Saudi game just not after it

        I would have just done Messi to Kane that was my intended transfer

        Eriksson to Isco Was plain stupid

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I lurked a bit when people were making their teams - I couldn't believe the Isco hype on here after I checked his stats. It's not that he's a terrible option, but players like Eriksen are so much more central to their team succeeding.

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Yer I had a bad feeling as soon as deadline passed.

            All the talk was Pavon starting and how good he looked when he came on. I thought Russia and Chernysev was a flash in the pan. How wrong I was
