Fantasy managers look to Griezmann for goals

731 Comments

France are expected to register a big win against Australia and keep a clean sheet too, upon looking at the ownership levels of their players.

Antoine Griezmann (£10.0m) is the most popular asset for the fixture, coming into it sat in 25 percent of McDonald’s FIFA World Cup Fantasy squads. In the forwards department, only Lionel Messi (£12.0m) and Neymar (£12.0m) more owners.

N’Golo Kante (£6.0m) is the preferred option in midfield, his 20 percent ownership dwarfing that of Paul Pogba (£9.0m).

There seems to be no faith in Australia to continue their scoring run of ten goals in their last five matches with zero percent ownership for their midfield and attack.

Meanwhile, Raphael Varane (£6.0m) and Hugo Lloris (£6.0m) sit in 15 and 13 percent of squads respectively.

      You're just judging them off today's performance. They are amazing for their clubs (Even were for their previous ones). Just lacking international experience (Doesn't change the fact that the handball was shocking but still).

          Wogan dd it in good humour and applied it to everyone. Lawro just hated on Pavard and France. The bias was clear by how wrong he was half the time. Being negative about things without good enough reason. I don't mind negativity (actually I love it!), but this was just unprofessional. He even complained that they were showing the goaline tech replay. It's possible he's just getting old and confused.

    Is there a second 'confirm' step to captain and sub changes? Sure I changed my captain but apparently I didn't :S

      There is but you probably also did it on the wrong GW tab

    i genuinely think there would be more contact in a womens' netball game allowed, than men's football match nowadays. Bloody disgrace

      Players like Hernandez should be fined. it's blatant cheating and a virus in the game

        agreed. 3 times this match he's tried to con the ref, that's 3 yellow card worthy offences in my book. He should have been sent off

    Think this is the poorest start to a fantasy game I’ve ever had. Full of 2’s everywhere apart from Varela

    So do players prices not go up until after the group stages? Thinking of doing Mbappe > Costa
