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…

      Pepe if you like living on the edge, dreaming of a headed screamer.

      Guerreiro otherwise.

  3. Chandler Bing

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      7 years, 8 months ago

      Salah for me

  6. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Which one to transfer-in in place of the Egyptian GK:

    1) Ryan vs Peru
    2) Kawashima vs Poland
    3) Gallese vs Australia

    Thanks!

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

      The other Egyptian GK!

  7. LuckyLQ

    7 years, 8 months ago

      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Fagner

  8. Baz
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Guerreiro or Cedric ?

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

      Guerreiro

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Cedric the safer bet I believe...

    3. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Guerreiro

    4. André94PT
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Cédric. The Portuguese media are all saying that Ricardo Pereira might start at LB

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

    ElHadary vs Saudi or Ben Mustaphi vs Panama?

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

      Ben

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Flip a coin I guess

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

      I'm on BB so going for the one who's 100% playing so Egypt

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

      Elhadary. We don't know for sure if Ben will play. Since both Tunisia and Panama are out, they may just play their 3rd choice keeper to give him some world cup experience.

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

        Sounds nice, cheers

    5. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      El is 4.5?

  10. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Which move(s) do you prefer? I'm a little desperate here

    A) Kane --> Ronaldo/Costa (C)
    B) Lukaku --> Ronaldo/Costa (C)
    C) Stay put and captain Werner
    D) A and B -8'

    Leaning towards A as it would be a decent long term move, and BC Lukaku is a doubt

    Note: No WC nor unlimited free transfers after round 3 in the domestic fantasy I play

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

      Lukaku -> Ronaldo as he's doubtful. However, if you dont have transfer it may prove tricky in the long term (Lukaku with a good first fixture)

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

    Ronaldo Inui

    Or

    Salah Isco

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      A

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

      Ronaldo for the captain

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

    WOW - Just clicked Bench Boost and it said something went wrong. Are we sure you can WC & BB same week?

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

      Oops cancel that boys, false alarm BB ACTIVE!!!!!!!!

    2. DantheManinaPan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I have

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

      I can anyway.

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

    Which Spanish player would you pick?
    A Koke
    B Iniseta
    C Vázquez
    D Busquets

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

      Is anyone nailed? Vazquez I think

  14. DD
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Cedric or Guerreiro??

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

      Couldn't decide so went both 🙂

    2. Critical Observer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Guerreiro has good understanding with CR.

  15. Under my Cucurella
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Captain choice for today

    A: Costa
    B: Salah

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

      I'm on Salah cos Saudi are trash!

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

    Ruediger nailed on?

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

      No boateng and 1 yc on hummels, enough for me to make sure hes nailed.

  17. Kingi12
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Isco + Costa or Kroos + Salah?

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

      Isco + Salah?

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

    Inui or Quintero worth a hit for Cheryshev or Gazinsky?

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No imo

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

        cheers

  19. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Ronaldo(c) - Cavani - Lukaku
    Eriksen - Cheryshev - Ziyach
    Granqvist - Godin - Fagner - R Rod
    ElHadary

    Bench Uzoho - Inui, Cueva, Meunier.

    No transfers left, but all chips are. Would you WC this bunch or GTG?

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

      I would WC

  20. Bardo9
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    A) Quintero
    B) Sassi + 0.5m

    I’m tempted to go B due to being on pens with an easier fixture

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      A

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

      Depends on what your 0.5m can get you, then B.

      Panama can't defend corners

  21. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Sommer/ Ben Mustafi
    Granqvist/Carvajal/R. Rodriguez/Fager/Kimmich/
    Sassi/J. Rodriguez/Jedinak/Coutinho/Quintero
    Ronaldo/Costa/Reus

    Done 🙂

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

    Anyone got the lineups? Is a HT too much to ask? Would be useful for the start of the round

  23. Addecadabra
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    A) Reus + kimmich
    B) Cavani + 5.5mid

  24. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    People going with Salah now or nothing to play for/not fit and give wide birth?

  25. Shakshuka
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Good to go on WC and BB? Not too excited by the mids as you can tell, and somewhat worried about Portguese fullback rotation.

    Elhadary Mustapha
    RRod Kimmich Fagner Fonte Carvajal
    Coutinho Brandt Quintero Cheryzhev Inui
    Ronaldo Messi Salah

  26. Total Foot 5
