Fantasy managers look to Griezmann for goals

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.

          Yeah. I just think it spoils the game. Wrong decisions happen, it's only a game and most should be able to get over it. That penalty got awarded about a minute after it happened and play had carried on. We can see already refs aren't making decisions, linesmen have been told not to flag offside if its close. I think it's farcical

          there is the slightest of touches I think. Only reason I can see why it should be considered a pen, is because the Austrailia defender lifted his foot up at the end of the slide through

              I guess we'll have to just agree to disagree. I realise its a close call, but I just believe that its really quite harsh to consider that a foul. Minimal contact, possibly even got the ball; we'll get to the point where defenders will just stop making tackles all together unless the ball is clearly there to be won.

                I guess we will.
                I just don’t see that as a close call, clear contact on the Griezmann.
                If there was a slight touch (which I still don’t think there was) it’s not been enough to change the direction on the ball so Griezmann is still in to shoot on goal.

      Anyone who thought there'd be a consensus when reviewing countless replays must have been kidding themselves. I can see both sides of the argument and on balance I say pen yet on another I would say no pen. That's just the inconsistency with 50-50 tight decisions.
