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.

    good thing this game has prizes for each round. never going to win it but keeps you interested at least

    Grosicki already in tears.

      when u consider the quality in their squad poland have been the worst team in the wc. at least panama and saudia we already knew were poor. absolute horror show

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Really don't what happened. Lewandowski was the top scorer.

    Are people risking salah and shaqiri? Shaq could be banned and Salah considering quitting the national team ?.

  4. Louis_Sans_Balls

    Ospina actually playing like a proper keeper for once. Must be playing for new contract

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

      Playing to stay at the club.

    2. travis45
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      he's always been decent

    3. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      He’s not been bad for Arsenal at all.

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

        Really? So this is why he's second string and why they had to go out and get Cech, no to mention that debacle in the champions league a couple of yrs back. But yeah no I agree he's been truly stellar!

        Never a fan honestly

        1. Pariße
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Ok chill. You mentioned one game as an example.

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

    Ljajic to Chersy or Muller to Coutinho. Gotta figure that the second is gonna pay of bigger

    1. travis45
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      could also backfire bigger

      1. travis45
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        but no need to play defensive in such small tournaments, do it

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

        Will it come as a suprise to you that I dont respect your opinion enough to listen to anything you say?

        1. travis45
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Not really but u seem to have replied to a lot of my comments so u must be paying some attention. either way good of u to have cleared so i don't bother replying to u again, and i expect u do the same.

  6. JJeyy

    Is varela likely to be out?

  7. The real slim shady

    How do I WC in Mcdonalds game?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Make two or more transfers and press the WC button, BEFORE confirming.

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

        once active, can it be held for any round or does it need to be used for the round I used the two transfers?

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          WC applies only for the round in which you activate it.

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

      make a few transfers and the button will show up.

  8. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    My team’s first goal of the tournament was scored today. All of a sudden i’m on 81 points!

  9. Red Rock
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC/BB?

    Mustapha Uzoho
    Cedric Granqvist Rodriguez Fagner Mojica
    Isoc Coutinho JRod Cherychev Sassi
    Ronaldo Costa Reus

    1. wbm
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Do you really want Uzoho against Argentina on your BB?
      Sweden will pretty much have to win, so sooner or later will have to go forward against a very sharp Mexico on the counter.

      Looks good otherwise.

  10. BelgiumFTW
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Any comments on my WC team?

    Griezmann, Costa , Ronaldo
    Kovacic, Inui , Coutinho , Badri , Cueva
    Granqvist, L. Hernandez, Guerreiro, Trippier, R Rodriguez
    Sommer, Kalinic

    Got 0,5 M in bank. Was thinking to downgrade Cueva to Layun to get that extra 0,5M so i can upgrade Guerreiro to Kimmich?

    Any other notes?

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

    Siggy a good option for WC?

  12. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    James not looking 100% at end.

  13. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    James is enjoying himself...

  14. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Best performance of the tournament so far.

    Colombia could go far with an easy draw 😉

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

      Which is why I hope they avoid England. Pass the ball quickly and accurately and England could find it tough.

    2. travis45
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      i think colombia will try to avoid getting england. england showing real killer instinct atm, first team to score 6 goals this tournament. harry kane looks like in red hot form too

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

        Two penalties + a heel deflection = red hot form, amirite

        1. travis45
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          his penalties showed a lot of confidence. not to mention the first game showed he's up for it in terms of instinct. the rlc goal was very lucky i agree

  15. Atimis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Eriksen, Shaq, James or Kroos??

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

      James

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

      James
      Shaq
      Kroos
      Eriksen

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

    Varela -> which 6.0 or less defender for a -4? Already have Akanji, Strinic, Meunier, and Sabaly. Or maybe Meunier -> Kimmich? Thanks.

  17. wbm
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Where to shave off 0.5 for a WC BB?

    Sommer, Ben Mustapha
    Rudiger, Fagner, Guerriero, Carvajal, Akanji
    Coutinho, James, Isco, Quintero, Inui
    Ronaldo, Costa, Reus

    1. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      James to Shaqiri

      1. wbm
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        That's one good option. I'm a bit afraid of a possible ban tho.

        Another option is Quintero to Sassi.

        Or to downgrade a defender.

  18. Gnu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    That's the most disappointing result and performance of the comp so far.
    What the hell Poland!

  19. AnfieldLad
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Non playing I have: Danilo Nandez De Arra
    0.5ITB

    A) Nandez -> Quintero / Layun
    B) Danilo -> Kimmich / Carvahal
    C) Both -4

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

    Uzoho
    Fagnar - Akanji - Carvajal - Cedric
    Coutinho - Isco - Sassi
    Ronaldo - Costa - Reus

    Sommer - Mojico - James - Quintero

    1. Patch

  21. Patch
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Folks need some help:

    A) Mbappe to D Costa

    B) Al Dawsari to Sassi

    My mind and body is so tired, I am going to bed at 9:15pm

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years

      B

  22. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Don't see Costa in many WC teams

  23. Red-United
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Are there any standard WC template teams I can use for mine?

    Really can't be bothered with this fantasy world cup, but I am in a paid work league so may aswell try to put something decent together lol

    1. travis45
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      thats not a good attitude

  24. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Best 8.5mil mid?

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

      Isco/Lingard

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Isco, Cuadrado after tonight's performance perhaps

  25. LuckyLQ
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    I'm not going to take a hit so i only have 1 FT. Who to replace?
    1. Lukaku
    2. Meza
    3. Carrasco
    4. Pavard
    5. Varela
    6. Danilo
    7. Trippier
    8. C. Sanchez

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Danilo I guess

    2. deyell
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Will Varela play?

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

        Reports said uruguay will play 3ATB, though you could see the line up before the deadline tommorow to make sure.

  26. TAT
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Playing a Norwegian WC Fantasy game as well as the McDonalds game. Need to transfer out Lukaku (valued at 10.8), but for who?

    1. Kane (11.1), against Belgium
    2. Costa (11.1), against Morocco
    3. Griezmann (11.0), against Denmark

    Could also downgrade to a Mertens (9.5), Giroud (9.4) or Reus (8.5). One of these six will play in a front three including Werner and Cavani.

    Thoughts?

    1. TAT
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      No wildcards in this game, by the way - 15 free transfers in total, with added free transfers as the tournament progresses.

    2. LuckyLQ
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Costa or Kane for me, the latter might get lucky again scoring pens and lucky goal.

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        True. More fun with Costa though, although he's a walking booking on the pitch…

  27. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Suggestions appreciated - draft WC, 3.0m to spend..

    Gallese BenMustapha
    Kimmich Rodriguez Fagner Carvajal Mojica
    Coutinho Isco Quintero Sassi Inui
    Neymar Costa Reus

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

      Upgrade your GKs maybe?

  28. deyell
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Pick one for round 3

    A: Costa
    B: Salah
    C: Cavani
    D: Reus
    E: Falcao

    Thanks

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      A

  29. willl
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Jesus to start the Serbia match?

    Was going to go with Coutinho on WC, but think James is a better option.

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Probably, expect a Bobby sub in 75mins though
