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…

        Cheers, Norman

  2. FPL ElasticO
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Is it worth having Isco & Costa??
    Or transfer out one of them??

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

      i am just going with one of them

  3. Astronautovic
    • 10 Years

    Is giroud starting?

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

      Would be amazed if he didn't.

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

        then it will be him as my third striker

  4. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    any concrete team news on:

    A) pavon
    B) meza
    C) varela

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

    Chances of Willian starting vs. Serbia?

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

      Very high. Douglas Costa is injured. But don't pick him. Find the 0.5m for Coutinho.

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

        Will do that if I WC. Would you hit the button with this team?

        Uzoho / El Kajoui
        Varela* / Dalsgaard / Meunier* / Kimmich / Sabaly
        Inui / J Rod / Willian / Alfaraj / Ziyach
        Lukaku* / Cavani / Messi

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

          Definitely.

          You have like 3 players that are actually good for this week!

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

            Thoughts on WC+BB team then?

            Egypt 4.5 / Ben Mustapha
            R Rod / Fagner / Kimmich / Cédric / Akanji
            Coutinho(c3) / Cheryshev / Kroos / J Rod(c4) / Inui
            Silva(c1) / Messi(c2) / Khazri

  6. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I'm ranked 98k atm. Is that rubbish?

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      yea

  7. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Is Dzagoev back?

  8. RubberDucky
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Is it really the thing to do, to WC round 3?

      It feels like using it for the sake of it.

      Is there no chance it is more valuable later on.

      My team currently is

      Caballero

      Godin / Trippier / Kimmich / Miranda / Meunier

      Eriksen / Muller

      Cavan / Griezman / Lukaku

      ( Uzoho / Sanchez / Guzman)

      Issues yes for round 3 but WC???

    • JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Which scores more?

      a) Kane + Layun or sub rodriguez

      B) Reus + James (-4)

    • ludaslol
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Would you do Meza > Quintero for like a -2 (a goal is worth 10 and an assist 5 for example)

      Different game

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

        I would.

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

        I would if that's the scoring system.

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

          Yeah pretty much,would be -20k in transfer cost.

          100k for a goal
          50k for an assist
          25k for team win if they play
          etc etc

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

        yes

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

        Isn't it -8 by your double logic?

    • FPL ElasticO
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Will I keep both Russian MF & Isco as well?? Cheyshev & Golovin or replace one of them.... Need 2 replacement options 15.0 mil....

    • Scheister
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Doing Danilo out. Rest of defense looks like this:

      Kimmich, Varela, Akanji, Sabaly, ____
      Ochoa, Uzoho

      Which defender would you get in?
      A) Rudiger
      B) Miranda
      C) Carvajal
      D) Lovren
      E) Cedric/Guerreiro

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

        C

      Thanks

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

        B imo

      2. BONY M
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I actually went with Fonte

    • tenderloin
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I've gone for the WC RMT please here guys 🙂

      El Shanaway Ben Mustapha
      Kimmich Fagner Akanji Varela (in case he plays/point rise) Mojica
      Innui Coutinho Isco Brandt (punt but worth the risk?) JRod
      Reus CR7 Costa

      I'm just not sure about Bel/Eng players and they play on last day so don't want to risk it.

      Have I gone too big on Germany? I was tempted for Higuain

    • A-VB
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Any differential idea guys ?

      Already pretty down in my league so time to try something new lol! Have one transfer, but can take two hits if thats what is needed. Current team looks like below with 0.0 ITB

      Ochoa
      Varela - Kimmich - Rodriguez
      Shaqiri - Layun - JRod - Golovin
      Ronaldo (C) - Costa - Lewandowski

      Uzoho - Gunnarsson - Advincula - Maguire

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

        I'd probably go Lewa > Reus + Gunnarson > Brandt

      2. henryleeds
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Higuain

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

      Best defender 5.5 and under?
      (Have ruediger but not convinced he will start)

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

        Carvajal
        Rodriguez
        Fagner
        Guerreiro

        Currently debating Guerreiro vs Rodriguez

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

        Ta
        Right now I’ve got
        Cedric Rodriguez (Ruediger) Carvajal akanji

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

      Kroos or Mueller? Money not an issue...

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

        Kroos

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

        Mueller was a big poaching threat

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

        Kroos. Müller is not looking like his good old self.

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

          Ancelotti said the same and they fired him.. overrated!

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

        Kroos

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

      Any Jesus owners still?

    • diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      WC teams look so similar! Popular players:

      GK: Sommer, Ben Mustapha
      DF: Akanji, Carvajal, Fagner, Cedric, Kimmich
      MF: James, Quintero, Sassi, Coutinho, Inui
      FW: Ronaldo, Reus, Costa

    • FPL ElasticO
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Are these transfers worth -4??

      Isco/ Salah >> J Rodriguez / Reus

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

        No

        1. FPL ElasticO
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          I got 2 russian player in my team will i replace one of them ..... Golovin & Cherysev...

    • UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I didn't catch the Japan v Senegal game. How likely would you say a clean sheet is vs Poland?

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

        Japan are a leaky bucket but Poland have looked utterly shocking, so it could happen.

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

        Not impossible, but only because Polond looked so bad, even when they still had something to play for.

    • ludaslol
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      % of Trippier playing?

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        50

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

      captain.. Messi or Costa?

      cannot change (c).. different game

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

        Messi

    • #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Kane, Pavon, Meza (-8) >>

      A) Isco, Costa, Quintero
      B) Reus, Isco, Brandt

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

        Don't get rid of Kane as part of a hit. Just sort your defence out.

    • BigAsGiroud_
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Need any changes if this team?

      Muslera Uzoho
      Kimmich Trippier Danilo* Pavard* Meunier
      J.Rod Muller Cueva Inui Belhanda
      Costa Jesus Mbappe

      Anything worth a hit???

      • 7 Years

      Is Guerreiro nailed?

      Also why so much love for Isco? Hasn’t created a chance yet according to the KPI stats in members area...
