World Cup 2018 – Team Analysis – Serbia

Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic is the central figure in Serbia’s national team.

However, World Cup Fantasy managers should think twice before considering Luka Milivojevic, who is unlikely to reproduce the form that saw him become a key Fantasy Premier League asset in 2017/18.

We’ve got everything you need to know about the final Group E nation here…

ROAD TO QUALIFICATION

As is often the case with former Yugoslavian nations, nobody is sure which Serbia will turn up at this World Cup. Will it be the outfit which won a difficult qualification group containing Republic of Ireland, Wales and Austria, all of whom had varying levels of success at Euro 2016 in Serbia’s absence? Or will it be the side beaten at home by Morocco in March with their captain and best defender Branislav Invanovic benched by rookie coach Mladen Krstajic?

Under the management of Slavoljub Muslin, the Serbians lost just one match in qualification making it to a major international tournament for the first time since 2010. Although even then, most of the goals conceded came from defensive errors. So despite successfully winning a group as rank outsiders, Muslin was sacked from his position in October. Other factors in the decision were reported to be disagreements with the country’s football association over team selection, defensive tactics and the omission of young players, namely Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

However, a change in management has, if anything, made things worse. Serbia could yet prove to be another in a long line of Balkan nations unable to get the best out of a good squad. Since 44-year-old Krstajic took over, the players have struggled to adapt to his new tactics. Muslin booked a place in Russia using a 3-4-3 formation but Krstajic has switched between 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 in friendlies and is still unsure which he will use in Russia. “What formation we will play depends on many factors,” he said in a recent interview. “It’s still early to talk about that.”

It’s just two wins from five under Krstajic so far and with important figures such as Nemanja Matic and Dusan Tadic featuring only as second-half substitutes, Serbia were beaten by Chile on Monday night. Add into the mix that they will be without key centre-back Matija Nastasic through injury at the World Cup and ongoing accusations that most of the squad don’t perform as well for their country as they do for their club and it’s hard to know how much to expect from them in Group E.

UEFA QUALIFYING

Most starts: Branislav Ivanovic, Dusan Tadic (both 10), Aleksandar Mitrovic, Antonio Rukavina (both 9), Aleksandar Kolarov, Filip Kostic, Luka Milivojevic, Vladimir Stojkovic (all 8).

Most goals: Mitrovic (6), Tadic (4), Kolarov, Kostic, Gacinovic (all 2).

Most assists: Tadic (7), Kostic (5).

THE KEY TARGETS

Involved in over half of Serbia’s goal’s during qualifying Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic (£6.4m on Fantasy iTeam | £8.5m on McDonald’s FIFA) is the most important Fantasy asset for anyone looking to cover this nation. He scored four goals himself (two from the penalty spot) and assisted seven more, contributing to 11 of Serbia’s 20 qualification strikes. Tadic was a mainstay during that stage of the competition too, starting every single match in UEFA Group D. Since passage to Russia was booked he has featured from the beginning in three of the five friendlies played, operating predominantly on the right-wing of either a 4-3-3- or 4-2-3-1 and scoring against Morocco in March.

On the opposite flank is Hamburg left-winger Filip Kostic (£5.7m on Fantasy iTeam | £6.0m on McDonald’s FIFA), who was just as important during the qualification phase. Developing a good relationship with Tadic, he slotted two goals of his own assisting another five. He has started just two friendlies under Krstajic but did add another assist in March’s 2-0 win over Nigeria. Priced much cheaper than Tadic on Fantasy iTeam at £5.7m, he is worth considering as a cheaper alternative.

Much more assured of a starting berth when Serbia face Costa Rica in the Group E opener on June 17th is striker Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.5m on Fantasy iTeam | £7.5m on McDonald’s FIFA). The Newcastle United man has revitalised his career at Fulham this season and top-scored for Serbia in qualifying with six strikes. Since Krstajic took over he has started all but one of the friendlies in a lone centre-forward role adding a further three goals.

THE LONG SHOTS

The subject of much debate under Muslin’s time in charge, midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (£5.7m on Fantasy iTeam | £7.0m on McDonald’s FIFA) has had another fantastic season with Lazio and is now being linked with a move to Manchester United. The 23-year-old scored 12 goals and assisted another three in Serie A this season but struggled to get into national squad during Muslin’s tenure for being unwilling to play in defensive midfield. Now that the former boss has moved on, Milinkovic-Savic has started two friendlies, ironically one of them in defensive midfield. He’s not completely nailed on to start with three caps to his name but if handed the opportunity on the back of a break-out season at club level, he could do well in Russia.

20-year-old striker Luka Jovic (£6.2m on Fantasy iTeam | £6.0m on McDonald’s FIFA) only has six minutes of senior international football under his belt but has found club form at the perfect time. On loan at Eintracht Frankfurt from Benfica, he scored nine goals in 27 appearances in all competitions, and assisted another as the Bundesliga side went on to win the DFB Pokal final against Bayern Munich. As previously stated, Mitrovic has the centre-forward position nailed on but any injuries or suspensions could see Jovic given a chance. Alternatively, Aleksandar Prijovic (£6.0m on Fantasy iTeam | £6.0m on McDonald’s FIFA) scored the winning goal in the final qualifier and could come in for Mitrovic.

AREAS TO AVOID

Serbia’s unsettled defence is an area to stay away from. Former Chelsea man Branislav Ivanovic (£5.8m on Fantasy iTeam | £5.5m on McDonald’s FIFA) was ever-present at centre-back during qualifying but has been in and out of the side since Krstajic took over, having the captaincy stripped from him and handed to Aleksander Kolarov (£6.0m on Fantasy iTeam | £5.5m on McDonald’s FIFA) too. Kolarov himself has started three of Krstajic’s five matches and five different options have been used at centre-back. Furthermore, Serbia’s back-line is not particularly trustworthy either, averaging at least one goal conceded per game in qualifying. That doesn’t bode well ahead of facing Brazil’s potent attack and the not-so-goal-shy Switzerland and Costa Rica in Group E.

Another player to stay away from is Crystal Palace midfielder Luka Milivojevic (£6.1m on Fantasy iTeam | £6.0m on McDonald’s FIFA). The 27-year-old earned popularity on Fantasy Premier League this season for taking the penalties, free-kicks and corners for his side. Those responsibilities led him to 10 goals and two assists with the Eagles, all at a bargain price. Expecting him to replicate that at the World Cup would be foolish, though. National team set-pieces, including penalties, are taken by Tadic, not Milivojevic.

        I have arranged for a snake-draft style World Cup fantasy football draft to take place during lunchtime today. It shall begin at 1pm. In case you fancy taking part, do follow the link my above post.

          It actually looks like a fairly slick platform and appears to support cash leagues. This one is more as a test / just for fun for now.

      3rd game of the group when rotation set to kick in after teams have qualified. Won't need it for last 16 as unlimited transfers and should have enough the rest of the tournament.

        It's still to be seen whether the service will cope with all those who jump on board though. It could go downhill fast...

          I've had it the last 2 years and it is great.

            Yeah me too but others haven’t had such a pleasant experience and there’s likely to be a whole lot more signing up for WC streaming.

      As a non UK citizen, I'm confused. You have to pay 895 a year to legally watch your own football?

        I pay 26 a month for sky sports and entertainment package. Been the same for past 4 years. I wouldn't pay any more . They started off at 39 a month and tried to make they were doing me favour. The sheer audacity

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Ah. 26 a month is still borderline criminal to be honest.

              It's a lot of money. I guess streaming them for free makes it feel that way anyway

            I pay a lot more than that.

              Threaten to leave and mean it and the price should go down ... if it doesn't just leave at the end of contract and rejoin where prices to attract new customers are best

              1. Rupert The Horse
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years

                Yeah. Think I’ll do that next week.

          3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            This is my limit

            I have no issue paying this. It's not the money but I won't be ripped off.

            I could stream it and I do usually but I don't mind paying the 26 a month to avoid the hasstle.

        Definatly. No way they come with Prime. They wouldn't make their cash back

        "The matches will be available free to Amazon Prime's UK members", https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44396151

        I guess given the limited times they've picked up it would be hard to sell it as an extra.

            At some point, for sure, but this deal is probably fairly small beer for them. While the numbers aren't official, there are plenty of reports that they recently paid $50 million for 10 NFL games and showed them on Prime (I can't find any official word on how much they paid for the Premier League rights, but estimates of around £100 million for 20 games feel in the right range). Their total program budget in 2017 was reported to be $4.5 billion and they are reported to have paid $250 million for rights to The Grand Tour alone. I admit a lot of this is unsourced, but I reckon they see this package (which no-one else wanted) to be a relatively cheap way to test the market demand for PL rights - particularly in the US. The numbers are quite breathtaking when you start targetting a worldwide streaming audience.

    Would be ideal if the team news section had predicted starting line ups for the World cup.

    Just a thought....

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years

      Totally agree, would love that!

        100% agree with that! So much so, in fact, that we will supply predicted starting line-ups off the back of these team previews and the final set of international friendlies that are yet to be contested.

        It might not be in the usual Team News section, but we'll have something out well before the tournament kicks off next Thursday.

      Started down, terrible investment from Amazon IMO if they're not charging one-off fees for them.

    Are these articles all relating to the official game on the FIFA website? Where are prices coming from, game doesn’t seem to be live yet?

    1. Critical Observer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No. They are referring to another game.

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Oh right, which game is everyone playing?

        1. Critical Observer
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          The official one, once it opens. 🙂 Folks are getting antsy (I know I am), hope not much longer to wait.

      Or £to just stream them all illegally. It seems a no brainer to me

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        £0 even

    2. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Why is sky sports cheaper for BT customers than Sky customers?

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Fair enough, seems really strange that it’ll cost a sky customer more for sky sports than it’ll cost a BT customer for it?

          1. bitm2007
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            the compulsory £20 a month regular (entertainment) Sky package is the main reason I switched from Sky to BT and £25 a month or £10 a week Now TV sports passes when required.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Includes compulsory £20 a month regular (entertainment) Sky package, is isn't required to watch via BT or Now TV (for which £25 a month Sports passes can be purchased).

      I'll stick with the wireless 😆

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Same here really. I can't justify the spend and our broadband is so slow we cannot illegally stream anyway.

        There is something great about radio commentary in my eyes. Apart from when they decide rugby is more important that is or TalkSport has the match instead. Fortunately, that is fairly rare

        1. Funkyav
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          all world cup games on talksport unfortunately i think

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Fortunately they are all on free to air TV at least.

            Surely 5live at least has the England games? I don't think it is unknown for World Cup games to be on both

          2. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Yup 5live have rights to every game it seems. Whether they are going to broadcast them I don't know. I suspect there will be a lot on sports extra

      2. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Match of the day is a better option.

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Not if you want to know what is happening at that moment it isn't. Supplementing the radio with MOTD is the way.

          1. bitm2007
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            I use the BBC's Final Score or Sky's equivalent (via Now TV box) for that.

            1. Cheeseoid
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              5 live is much better than that in my eyes. Plus you can listen in the shower

      Jesus wept, I love to complain as much as the next guy but really????????????????????

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I'm not complaining, just sharing a Daily Mail comparison between the two viewing platforms with potential value for money in mind.

    5. Eden Wizard
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Amazon only have games in MAXIMUM 2 different months so that's wrong.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        That true, and both will be in December so a one off payment (if that's possible) or even a free months trial would work.

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          you would get free next day delivery and movies over the festive period as well.

    6. Eden Wizard
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Also a terrible metric to use as, the cost of 17/18 was Sky + BT so, in reality the delta is Amazon (* 2 months) minus 1-free trial month per person.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        It's not as simple as that, as the cross platform collaboration between Sky and BT hasn't kicked in yet.

        1. Eden Wizard
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Not sure I follow? BT have got 2 packages, (similar to last year) and Amazon now have 1.

          1. bitm2007
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            It wasn't possible to watch Sky Sports via the BT Platform this season, you needed to also buy a Now TV box with Sky Sports week/month passes or subscribe to both platforms (£38 a month for Sky + £25.99 for BT).

            1. bitm2007
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              or £38 a month for Sky + £10 for a month BT sports if you also took their Broadband.

    Would you rather have JRod or someone from Belgium,England in midfield?

    1. SW6
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      There's nowt in the England midfield to tempt even the dedicated. I think I prefer Hazard and Mertens to JRod

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Hazard gonna be too expensive imo

        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        so they did copy it from the official player list, figured...

          • 7 Years

          Looks like it.

        Not much good if they don't play lol

  27. Ramboros
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Seems like I'm the only one in here that values Silva over Isco, but then they proceed to put Silva as a forward at 0.5 higher price. That certainly makes the Isco choice easy.

    1. SW6
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Isco will/should be in every team

  28. Jebiga
    • 11 Years

    Is Carassco nailed for Belgium ? 6.5 is nothing for him if nailed

    1. Ramboros
      • 12 Years

      He's the first choice left wing back.

    2. Eden Wizard

      Nice joke however, he;'s a mid in the game....
