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…

  1. Astronautovic

    7 years, 8 months ago

    for captaincy
    messi neymar and salah is better than ronaldo messi salah.
    with which frontline would you go?

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

      Pick the 3 that will score the highest.

      If Ronaldo scores a hatty that's it who cares about rotating the captaincy.

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

        if i have more options it is more possible to have a big score. Neymar isn't such a bad option too i would say

    2. Atwood
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Probably the first just for the rotation. Very little to pick between them and I fancy Messi to finally score well.

    3. Where has all the rum gone?
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Ronaldo messi salah

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

    Cedric not safe? Why you prefer RG?

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

      Why not?

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

    A) Cuadrado + R. Rodriguez
    B) James + Akanji

  4. Where has all the rum gone?
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    If you have costa and ronaldo which would you captain?

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

      Ronaldo

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

        I'm going Ron coz of pens and he's a big cheat

  5. doublyG
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Am I the only that thinks Serbia could easily score against Brazil?

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

    A) Inui/Sassi/Ramos
    B) Quintero/Sassi/Carvajal

    Can’t decide

  7. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Lukaku & Meunier > Messi & Akanji

    That sound good for a -4?

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

    Anyone doubling up on Swiss defense?

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

      Trippleing

    2. Atwood
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I'm getting one in but wouldn't double. It's not like they've kept a clean sheet so far.

  9. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    A or B ?

    A Treziguet (Saudi)
    B Cueva (Australia)

  10. Usupremu
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    William is starting with Portugal 2day ?

  11. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Quintero or Layun in my side? (Have James already...)

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

      quintero

    2. Original Sin
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      quintero

    3. johnnymorrocco
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      this is 2nd WC where I have picked Layun and he's always almost scoring points but not

  12. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Salad worth a punt?

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

      Salah

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

      absolutely

    3. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Would you class Salah as a punt? He's a fairly obvious pick on a WC imo

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

    Should I bin Lukaku on Bench Boost? 10.0 for a striker if so, not Salah or Costa!

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

      Gotta be Higuaín hasn't it?

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

        Solid pick. My punt is Brandt and don't want two randos 🙂

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

    Chances of playing?

    Cedric
    Fonte
    Guerreiro
    Carvajal
    Rudiger

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

      surely rudiger has to play!

  15. Original Sin
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

      Rosta

    4. Where has all the rum gone?
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I had the poll above. I guess ronaldo but that iran defense is a tough nut and the coach used to be portugal coach.

  16. Murder On Zidanesfloor
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Quientero vs badri??

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

      Quintero

  17. Silva Bilva Tilva Pilva
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wildcard team.
    Any opinion from the experts around here?

    Sommer / Mustapha
    Carvajal / Fagner / Guerreiro / Akanji / Mojica
    Isco / Coutinho / Jedinak / Quintero / Sassi
    Ronaldo / Messi / Reus

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

      like it but not convinced by reus

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

      Costa (Spain's main outlet and WILL score) in for Messi (who will choke spectacularly), spread extra cash around def, mids.

      Also el Hadara (Egypt gk) in for Mustapha, so you have Sommer as backup.

  18. jaredmason
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    WC BB:
    Sommer Allison
    Carvajal Akanji Rudiger R.rod Fagner
    Coutinho Kroos Qunitero Inui Cueva
    Messi Costa Reus

    Good to go?

  19. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years

    Salah or griezman?

    1. johnnymorrocco
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

    2. WALOR

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Disagree.

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

        depends on how many you can get on pitch for R3.

        ONly time you need WC in knockouts is if L16 goes much against expectations

  24. DD
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

  26. Liastro ⭐️
    • 13 Years

    El Hadary - Ben Mustapha

    Carvajal - Fagner - Mojica - Akanji - Sakai

    James - Coutinho - Isco - Sassi - Inui

    Ronaldo - Messi - Reus

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

      Good! Maybe Carvajal + Sakai > Granqvist + Gabr

  27. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Worth a -4 (-8 total) for any of these? I have lots ITB:

    A) Gazinsky/Layun to Eriksen/JRod
    B) Cavani to Messi
    C) Meunier to anyone (have RRod already)
    D) Other

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

      I'd only do -4 on B with Ronaldo. C definitely not, A maybe for James but doubtful.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Already got CR7

  28. Astronautovic

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

  30. Lewa
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I have only 12 subs for the whole cup. I have Lukaku Meunier and Trippier. w'Would you change these three just because they will not play one match?

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Kaku injured so ship him out for this match at least.

      You have WC after this round really as unlimited transfers
