England’s set-piece stars could be good forms of investment ahead of the Gameround 3 deadline for World Cup Fantasy.

The Three Lions have done particularly well from dead-ball situations and the underlying statistics suggest that trend could continue even against Belgium.

Elsewhere, we’ve unconvered how Serbia might be able to exploit some weaknesses in Brazil’s side while Philippe Coutinho is also recording some encouraging numbers.

Group F’s final set of matches looks hard to call on the surface but the World Cup data has provided some pointers on how to get Fantasy points from them.

We’ve managed to pull out some excellent budget differentials in Group H.

Our Members can read on and have a look at the key statistics we’ve analysed to help make transfers for Gameround 3.

World Cup Data

We’re delighted to offer World Cup data as an early addition to our regular season offering to help those playing Fantasy games over the summer.

We’ve secured Opta data, not only for the tournament itself, which begins on June 14 but also from the Qualifying Rounds for Europe and South America and for international friendlies involving the participating nations. This includes all the matches played right up to the tournament kick-off.

Just to stress, this World Cup offering comes packaged with the regular Fantasy Football Scout membership.

Check out this new trailer previewing the World Cup content below…

    I've gone Laxalt over Chery as a differential. Decent shout? I really know nothing about him apart from he is an attacking player...

  2. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Do we think Egypt will keep a CS?

  3. diesel001

    Any news on Shaqiri?

    1. A19
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not yet... They said news should come out today.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        OK. Probably too late for my wildcard then. Will have to leave him out.

    2. Union_Jacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Should be fine apparently.

  4. H-SF
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I have already used my free transfer, and have Golovin who isn’t starting. Do I take the -4 and replace him?

    1. Horlicks esq.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      You'll only need 2 points to meet the hit so perhaps worth the risk., depends on bench strength?

  5. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    no manual subs after deadline..

    start Meza or Quintero?

    1. Hulk Smash

    Whens the deadline ?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      1 more hour

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      57 minutes.

  13. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Besides Brandt not being nailed. Is there anything I should be wary of? WC & BB activated 😀

    Gallese Mustapha
    Kimmich Ramos Guerreiro Cedric R.Rod
    Coutinho(c) James(c) Brandt Quintero Sassi
    Messi(c) Salah(c) Khazri

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yo Deulo! What made you BB? I'm stuck between BB, MC & none lol. Worried about rotation.

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

        Hey. BB because I can afford two playing GKs with a decent chance of a CS. Less chance in knockouts due to better opposition and extra time.

        MC could be good for this round, but I wouldn't play it if I had a different captain each round. Only if I really wanted lots of good players on the same days. Might as well save it otherwise. 🙂

        1. Eden Wizard
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Think I completely agree! I'll join you - Lukaku is my only risk (I hope)

    2. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Pretty solid and different

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

        Cheers 🙂

    3. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      you fancy iran not nicking even one in a must win game for them?

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

        If Portugal score first it could be a tough game for them. Even if they don't, both teams don't mind playing to nick a goal, whoch makes a CS more likely than if they were really going for it. Tough to predict, though

  14. Eden Wizard
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    WILDCARD ACTIVATED - Oh Gabriel Jesus.

    1. MMN

  15. Hulk Smash
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Pique, Reus, Quintero

    or

    Akanji, Kane, Sassi

  16. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Q1) Costa or Higuain

    Q2) Neymar or Ronaldo or Messi (captain)

  17. ZAG322
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Help please
    A. Cavani to Ronaldo and Mueller to Cherychev -4 hit
    B. Cavani to Ronaldo and Mueller to Quinterro -4 hit
    C. Cavani to reus and Mueller --> Coutinho -4 hit
    D. Cavani to reus and Mueller to james Rodriguez -4 hit
    E. Cavani to Falcao or other, no hit
    Thanks

    1. JLAEST
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Of those I'd do B. However I'd hardly take an hit to get Cavani out.

  18. fplrookie
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Who should i captain ?
    A) ronaldo
    B) isco

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      45 year old keeper straight in my team 😆 😎

      1. fenixri
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Sarcasm? 🙁

        1. Eden Wizard
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Not at all, he's in. Gonna bench boost.

  20. JPoole98
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Trezeguet as a 6 mill differential for the Saudi Game?!? Has looked promising

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I had him last week, looked dangerous

    2. Kasper the ghost keeper
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      In my team

  21. Neves say Neves
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Playing wc

    Reus>Ronaldo and jrod>Quintero?

  22. Astronautovic
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    is jesus a starter?

  23. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Captain Cavani or Isco?

  24. Union_Jacks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Switzerland will also play their best lineup (Shaqiri, Xhaka, Lichti are a concern, but the Suisse FA head does not think FIFA will give them a suspension, but a warning)

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Is Mojica the best 4.5m defender after Akanji for round 3?

    1. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      i think so. maybe sakai for 4.0 is a good pick too

    2. St. Joseph
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I think so as colombia wants to qualify.

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Senegal and Columbia will be an open game I think so it probably won’t matter too much

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I'll take the attacking points instead so 😉

        Cheers all!

    4. SW6
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe but I prefer Egypt, Peru and Tunisia's CS chances above Colombia

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Agree, I have Ben from Tunisia but not too keen on Peru with the Aussies needing a win, might get on Hegazi for goal threat.

        Cheers, SW6.

  26. Reggie Nainggolan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Get Portugal or Spain defence?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Portugal. Iran are way worse offensively than Morocco.

  27. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Final gw3 wc bb squad with a different approach

    Neuer, Sommer
    Cedric, Kimmich, Rodriguez, Akanji, Hegazy
    James, Mueller, Sassi, Cheryshev, Inui
    Ronaldo, D. Silva, Kramaric

    What do you think?

  28. Chandler Bing
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Where's all this "Jesus won't play" discussion coming from?

  29. OldBenKenobi
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Danilo is definitely out right?

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yup. Hasnt traveled.

    2. Chandler Bing
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

  30. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Any improvements on this?

    Sommer, Ben Mustapha
    Kimmich, Fagner, R. Rodriguez, Lovren, Abdelshafy
    Coutinho, Isco, Quintero, Sassi, Inui
    Ronaldo, Messi, Reus

    Is there a better option for Lovren?

    1. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      your team looks great.

    2. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      You could do Egypt goalie insead of Sommer

      Akanji instead of Abdelshafy

      Then upgrade Lovren to Carjaval

      Then your WC team is same as mine!
