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…

    Contrasting reports on Uruguay's XI vs. Russia today.

    Sebastián Coates coming in for Josema Giménez has led some media outlets to think that Tabárez will insist with 442.

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

      PLZ SAY THIS IS TRUE

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

      Could be a good call.

      I saw someone on here earlier explain that in the later rounds when teams are v similar due to the lack of options could also be a good time as well

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

      Later rounds have 120 mins but, this is the last week for punts as the guy above said

  14. Gruu
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Have 13m left to spend on a third striker after Reus and Ronaldo

    Costa or Messi best option?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 8 Years

  18. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Salah starts. Could destroy Saudi Arabia on his own.

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

      They'll want to destroy him too.

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

      Saudi Arabia start. They could destroy Salah as a team.

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

    Worth taking a risk on Shaqiri?

    If not, Fagner and Isco or Mojica and Coutinho? Already have Costa from Spain.

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Fagner + Isco

  20. Mikha In A Tutu
    • 8 Years

    RMWC:
    Ryan, Sommer
    Rudiger, Cedric, Guerreiro, Akanji, Sakai
    Isco, Muller, Meza, Quintero, Honda
    Ronaldo (C), Costa, Werner

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

      Muller and Meza out

      1. Mikha In A Tutu
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

    2. Taegugk Warrior

      7 years, 8 months ago

      Ruediger play...?

  21. QuintonFortune25
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    A) Messi, Sassi and 4.5 GK (Egypt GK probably)
    Or

    B) Costa, Shaqiri and 4.0 GK (Tunisian GK probably)

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

    Is Quintero fine or did he get injured?

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

      Apparently he's only played 90mins a few times all year, so not injured, but likely to get subbed off at some point again

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

    Where can I spend my 0.5? WC & BB activated.

    Gallese Ryan/Egypt
    Kimmich CarvajalGuerreiro Cedric R.Rod
    Coutinho(3) James(4) Brandt Quintero Sassi
    Messi(2) Salah(1) Khazri

    Considering a defender change to afford Ramos, e.g. Cedric +Carvajal > Granqvist + Ramos.

  24. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

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

    Thanks a lot!

    1. Deulofail

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

      Varela then Pavard

  30. raff97
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    My squad is:

    Muslera - Caballero**
    Marcelo - Meunier** - Danilo ** - Varela ** - Mojica
    JamesRod - Ziyach* - Meza* - Cueva - Carrasco
    Lukaku** - Cavani - Costa

    where
    ** = definitely out
    * = probably out or very difficult fixture

    A)Wildcard territory right?
    B) -8 with Lukaku+Meunier+Danilo -> Ronaldo + Carvajal + Akanji

    1. raff97
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      B would leave me with

      Muslera - Caballero**
      Marcelo - Carvajal - Akanji - Varela ** - Mojica
      JamesRod - Ziyach* - Meza* - Cueva - Carrasco
      Ronaldo - Cavani - Costa

      Which actually doesnt look too bad bar the midfield
