Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.0m) is the World Cup Fantasy focus as Group B reaches its climax tonight.

The Portugal forward, with four goals in two matches, is owned by 33.3 percent to managers as his side prepare to face Iran.

Meanwhile, 20.7 percent are invested in Spain striker Diego Costa (£9.0m), who has three World Cup goals so far.

There is considerably more interest in Spain than there is Portugal. The next-most backed attacker in Ronaldo’s squad is Bernardo Silva (£8.0m) with 3.2 percent ownership.

However, there are players with double-figure ownership right through Fernando Hierro’s ranks.

21.7 percent of managers have backed Sergio Ramos (£6.5m) to record another clean sheet and possibly convert a penalty given that VAR has helped more of those be awarded than usual. 7.4 percent opted to save money by going with Gerard Pique (£6.0m).

David De Gea (£6.5m) still has the backing of 15.4 percent of managers despite his error in Gameround 1.

Further outfield, 22.1 percent of managers still own Isco (£8.5m) who is waiting for his first return of the tournament.

      All this shows is that you don't have the courtesy of replying to those that bothered to help you. 😉

      1. Les Bleus

        Classic graveless. Probably won’t even see this 😉

    Anybody remember the pizza(land?) adverts with Southgate with a brown paper bag over his head after he missed the penalty. classic. 🙂

        Aye, that's the one.

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Went up in my estimation after that as at that time it took a load of balls to do something like that...

  8. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Isco header off the line.

  9. Sim Simma

    Pique misses an Isco assist

    1. Chandler Bing

      This hurts me

  10. southernpacific

    Wild carded to a brilliant team on paper and it’s performing crap.

    Thanks Ronaldo the moment I get you in a pen miss

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

      Such is FPL.

  11. palace ash

    8 years, 1 month ago

    If England come second in group G, they are likely to be on the opposite side of the draw to:
    Uruguay
    Spain
    France
    Argentina
    Brazil
    Germany
    Belgium
    and Colombia

    I can see lots of yellow cards on Thursday night.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      And lose to Group H toppers, Colombia!

      1. Norman Conquest
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        i'm starting to get deja vu with your comments

      2. palace ash
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Colombia will come 2nd

    2. palace ash
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Instead they could face:

      Japan
      Mexico
      and Croatia/Portugal
      en route to the final.

  12. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    If Iran is still down late I hope they don't hurt anyone.

  13. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Dilva is taking over.

  14. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    The amount of simulation in this WC has seriously been extreme. Even with VAR, the players go down like flies.

    1. _Make
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah it's really irritating how many penalties have been awarded on appeal but not one booking for diving by VAR. The Neymar dive is a case in point

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed!

        1. _Make
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed agreed! At the moment it's just a free hit for the attacking player to cheat, an extra opportunity with no repercussions...

  15. McNulty
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mark Lawrenson is just like listening to that really annoying old guy down the pub making random comments. He doesnt even commentate, so irritating!

    1. Louis_Sans_Balls
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      the one who reminisces bout the time he played and tells you all about it even if you don't care

  16. palace ash
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Instead they could face
    Japan
    Mexico
    and Croatia/Portugal
    en route to the final.

    1. palace ash
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Fail

  17. Scotty B

    Is Cedric on 3 BAPS?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He will be once match winning goal bps is added.

  18. diesel001

    Bernardo Silva on
    Quaresma off

    1. Louis_Sans_Balls
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      final stat 6 -1 = 5

  19. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I know England may not want top spot in the group now, but I'd feel they shoudn't stop this positive momentum going their way. A football match should ne contested. England could at least try to win, even with a B team.

  20. Louis_Sans_Balls
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I guess those Iranians fans lat night really did good on their mission of frustrating Ronnie lol Good on them
