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…

    who is on pens for Spain. Ramos or Silva?

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

      Silva.

      1. HNI
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        You sure? I thought its ramos.

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

    Egypt changed gk?

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

      Yup

  3. Snellejanus
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Who is most likely to replace Boateng for Germany?

    I read somewhere that it'll be Suele? Worth getting him in or too risky?

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

      It'll be probably be Sule, because he's used to being RCB and has a partnership with Hummels from Bayern.

      Low said that Rudiger started last game for Hummels due to being experienced in playing LCB.

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

        Thanks!

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Rudiger maybe

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

      i think hummels and sule for this one

  4. mikess
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Muslera, Ben Mustapha
    Varela*, Dalsgaard, Alba, Akanji, Maguire
    Coutinho, Isco, Cheryshev, Layun, Gazinsky
    Kane, Ronaldo, Cavani

    Varela > Advincula/Hegazi/Someone else?

    Any other transfers worth a hit?

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

    Uruguay XI vs Russia: Muslera, Godin, Coates, Caceres, Bentacur, Nandez, Torreira, Vecino, Laxalt, Suarez, Cavani

    Russia XI vs Uruguay: Akinfeev, Kutepov, Ignashevich, Kudriashov, Smolnikov, Cheryshev, Gazinskii, Zobnin, Miranchuk, Samedov, Dzyuba

  6. Rex Lapis
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Which one?
    A. Reus + Kimmich
    B. Salah + R.Rodriguez

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

    Pages flying now...

  8. I Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    How's this WC team looking? Good to go?

    Sommer, El Hadary
    Alba, Kimmich, Guerreiro, Cedric, Akanji
    Coutinho, James, Quintero, Cheryshev, Inui
    Ronaldo, Salah, Reus

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I would get in Ramos too

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

    Salah, Costa, Carvajal .... so many captain options today, makes me want to max cap

  10. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Any better 4.5 defenders than Hegazi and akanji for round 3?

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

      sakai for 4.0 maybe

  11. studge15
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Final team. Thoughts?

    Elhadary Sommer
    RRod Kimmich Fagner Carvajal Guerrero
    Isco Brandt Coutinho JRod Quintero
    Costa Reus Khazri

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

      Expensive defense.

      Carvajal + Guerrero downgrades to fund Brandt > Kroos?

      1. studge15
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Carvajal + Guerrero -> Akanji + Sakai/Gabr and then Brandt -> Kroos?

        1. Sune
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          I would do that.

          1. studge15
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Gabr or Sakai to spread the risk?

            1. Sune
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 8 months ago

              Prefer Gabr

    2. studge15
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Nevermind. Has to be Sakai if I'm going Akanji. Sorted then. Cheers guys

  12. Sune
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Elhadary - Ben Mustapha
    Cédric - Fagner - Kimmich - Akanji - R Rod
    Cheryshev - Coutinho - Kroos - J Rod - Inui

    1. Chilli Heatwave
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      1. ktongue
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. Wasn't convinced. Feels like a waste to lose a transfer but happy with my team.

        Eriksen, Isco, Coutinho, Layan, Meza
        Varela, Ramos, Menier, Rodriguez, Sabaly

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

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

      Kane.

    2. Anathallo
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Lewa for me, Kane could be rested.
