Morocco v Croatia team news: $3.5m Sosa starts

The first of Wednesday’s four World Cup matches sees Morocco take on 2018 finalists Croatia.

Kick-off in the Group F curtain-raiser is at 10:00am GMT.

Some popular budget FIFA World Cup Fantasy defenders are on show in the early match, with Borna Sosa ($3.5m) and Josko Gvardiol ($4.0m) both starting for the Croats.

Sosa is the second-most-owned player in this fixture, sitting in just over 10% of squads.

The accolade of most-selected asset goes to Luka Modric ($7.5m), whose ownership is currently at 15.7%.

Morocco are not without their interest, with attacking full-back Achraf Hakimi ($5.0m) owned by 7.3% of FIFA World Cup Fantasy bosses.

There is plenty of Premier League representation in this fixture, with Mateo Kovacic ($6.5m), Ivan Perisic ($7.5m), Nayef Aguerd ($4.0m) and Hakim Ziyech ($7.0m) among the familiar faces in action.

Croatia are not far off even money with the bookmakers to win this one but Saudi Arabia, Senegal and Tunisia were also partly written off ahead of their respective first group-stage fixtures, with all of them making life difficult for much-fancied opposition.

Saudi Arabia, of course, triumphed over Argentina on Tuesday in one of the World Cup’s all-time great upsets.

MATCHDAY 1 LINE-UPS

Morocco: Bounou, Mazraoui, Aguerd, Saïss, Hakimi, Amrabat, Ounahi, Boufal, Amallah, Ziyech, En-Nesyri.

Croatia: Livakovic, Sosa, Gvardiol, Lovren, Juranovic, Kovacic, Brozovic, Modric, Perisic, Kramaric, Vlasic.

    We can transfer during matchdays? So could now take out Pavard for Raum, or a Belgium defender, and his points will count for Matchday 1? (And Pavard's point removed then)

      No as Pavard a locked player so the player you brought in would not score until MD 2 and you would still get Pavard points

      Me? No. As far as I understand, I've now used 1 of 2 MD1 transfers. Can still roll the other & have 3 FTs in MD2 I think

I saw mentioned that subbing out a locked player and then transferring them out allows the transferred in player to be still played this week? Does that still work?

  No. Can't get points for a player subbed out. But sure nothing about this game is surprising by now!

    It’s all over the place. I’ve for sure seen somebody mention a hack to get around transferring a locked player to somebody and still being able to get points for the new player in this matchday.

      I’ve AdM already subbed out. When I transfer Martinez (not subbed out so locked) and him to Sarr (not certain) and Havertz, it looks like Havertz is unlocked and available to play even though he shouldn’t be with AdM locked.

      That'd be for a player still in your 11 though. If you subbed him out before transferring him out his MD1 points are lost and the players you bring in from the bench will get his points.

        No I get that, I’m talking transferring though not subbing. It makes little difference really anyway.

        The way the game is going it probably would work. But rules say selling a locked player from MD1 only let's you transfer in a player that'll only get you points in MD2. Only selling an unlocked player let's you transfer on an unlocked MD1 player so they can get you MD1 points. It's as clear as mud!

  It's tight but between KDB & Neymar I think? I'm going KDB personally as can't see Brazil annihilating Serbia tbh and the extra 2pts for the goal is the clincher for me.

Could be less rotation in MD3 than anticipated if bigger teams continue getting poor results in MD1 against underrated opponents.

    Casemiro can play through the Serbian high press and get Brazil in behind them, I reckon. He he has the intelligence and composure in midfield that Argentina lacked.

    Never knew that, his physique seems perfect for a CB, not so much for a fullback unless extra defensive stability is needed.

It is 26°C toda in Qatar but Havertz have long sleeve shirt. I never thought that air conditioning in an open stadium actually works but looks like Havertz can feel it.
