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. Euro Raiders
      • 8 Years

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

      Think of it as two -4 hits.

      You presumably made them because you reckon the IN players will score 4+ more than the OUT players. Thas all you need for it to pay off

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

        Oh yes.

        Trippier, Golovin & Kane out

        Kimmich, Quenteiro & Messi in

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

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

    Q1)

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

      Costa, Ronaldo

  15. Ten Season Wonder
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

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

    Salah or Reus?

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

    Haven't really watched the Swiss much. Has there defence looked good then?

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

      *their

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

        They really gave brazil tough time.

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

    El Hadary Ben Mustapha
    Rodriguez Akanji Cedric Fagner Carvajal
    James Isco Coutinho Badri Inui
    Messi Costa Reus

    Thinking of going James>Quintero and Reus>Ronaldo???

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

    So, other than RRod and Akanji, who else expected to start?

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

      sommer

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

    Which move(s) do you prefer? I'm tinkering a lot and really need a good advice

    A) Kane --> Ronaldo/Costa (C) -4
    B) Lukaku --> Ronaldo/Costa (C) -4
    C) Stay put and captain Werner
    D) Both A and B -8

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

    Note: No wildcard chip, and there is no such thing as unlimited free transfers after round 3 in the domestic fantasy I play, which means all transfers are a -4

      • 9 Years

    2. Neves say Neves

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

    If you had to double up on a defence, which one would you choose?

    Portugal or Spain

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

      Spain

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Ben Mustapha / Elshenawy
    Guerreiro / Carvajal / Rodriguez / Akanji / Fagner
    Coutinho / Isco / J.Rodriguez / Inui / Badri
    Ronaldo / Reus / Costa

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

      Elshanawy doesn't start. Get Elhadary instead.

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

        No. But I prefer the security of my backup keeper being a guaranteed starter.

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

          you have faith in a 45 yr old?
