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…

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  18. Hulk Smash
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

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

      I don't. He wants the Golden Boot. But it's a tough fixture with many other options having much better fixtures.

  19. trinzoo

    Captain:

    A) Cavani (may play 45-60 minutes)
