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.

      I'm honestly surprised people thought he'd be playing.

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

        Are you still honestly surprised?

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

          That didn't age well, did it? Genuinely surprised, yes.

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

            Why though, all that stuff about him "quitting" was hard to believe tbh just usual tabloid BS... Egypt might never even make the WC during his career again and that sh*thousery from the Egypt FA wouldn't stop him

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

      Salah is starting

  2. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    No Salah!!!

  3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years

    No Salah wtf

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

      Salah is starting as is the ancient Egyptian goalkeeper

  4. BigBarn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Best 4.5 defender, anyone?

    Akanji, Bronn or someone else?

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

    How is she looking?

    Ronaldo Costa Higuain
    Coutinho Brandt Quintero Badri Inui
    Kimmich Hector Carvajal RRod Guerreiro
    Sommer BM

    0.5 itb. Can downgrade Hector to a 4.5 to maybe get James in but reckon Quintero is a good value pick.

  6. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

    Reposting:

    Which of the following is the most pressing transfer:

    1) Willian
    2) Dalsgaard
    3) Uzoho
    4) Pavard

    Thanks a lot!

    Just me who thinks Wahbi Khazri for 6.5 is a steal if WC'ing. Tunisia will want a win and not to finish bottom of the group. Both them and Panama are out and so most likely will be goals involved. Khazri is Tunisia's captain so will play even if there is slight rotation and is central to most of their attacking play (can double up with Sassi to cover pens). Panama are shocking and even if they prove to put up a fight, they'll still most likely concede. He's shown good form so far and genuinely think he'll show up against Panama. Plus he allows for so much extra spending money elsewhere.

    Thoughts?

    2. MDK
      • 16 Years

    3. MrFrodo
      • 14 Years
