Tunisia v England: Walker the go-to Fantasy asset

Kyle Walker (£6.0m) is the headline World Cup Fantasy for England ahead of their first game of Russia’s finals.

The Manchester City wing-back has become one of the most assured of starts in Gareth Southgate’s back-three, as a makeshift centre-back.

His importance to the Three Lions has convinced a tenth of World Cup Fantasy managers to sign him for Gameround 1.

Jesse Lingard (£7.5m) is the next most-popular in 6.9% of squads with expensive forward Harry Kane (£11.0m) in 6.6%.

With selection a possibility in midfield and attack, Dele Alli (£9.0m) and Raheem Sterling (£9.0m) are both before four percent ownership.

The most popular player in Tunisia’s ranks is striker Ahmed Kalil (£4.5m), who is not expected to get much game-time Russia. However, four percent of managers have opted to use him as a budget enabler.

Meanwhile, left-back Ali Maaloul’s (£4.5m) three assists in qualifying and recent friendlies has one percent including him on a punt.

    Sterling must smell really bad

      Haha, they certainly seen to favour him 😀

    Is A. Ndiaye going to start for Senegal tomorrow? Is it worth subbing him in for somebody with 2 points

  3. Jafooli

    Can see Southgate bringing on Davies & King in the second half. Game needs their directness....

    1. UshFPL
      • 8 Years

      Ridiculous that he left Ramsey out

    2. Pierce34

      Josh or Andy King? 😉

      Was Zaha fit enough to make the bench?

      Missed Dusan's post...

    Off the England subject I have a striker dilemma. Think there's a chance Jesus gets benched for the next game. Do people think...
    A) Costa v Iran
    B) Salah v Russia
    C) stick with Jesus v Costa Rica?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      A or C

      1. Sergio vamos
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Thankyou. Edging towards A...so no doubt Iran will grind out a 0-0 and Jesus score a hat trick ha

    Any predictions for Colombia vs Japan? Is 3-0 about right or Japan can score vs Colombia too?

    Delle needs to be subbed.. Slowing the game down

    1. Fantastisk
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He can hardly run, no idea why they don't sub him.

    Wtf is sterling doing out there?

    1. Rainer

      Dodging flies.

    2. lilmessipran

      he is as clueless as u bemba

  15. Foozeball
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    That was a really soft penalty, especially if blatantly holding Kane with both arms is not a penalty

  16. trinzoo

    Why so much love for Layun, please?

    1. 420king

      Was classed as a defender last WC

      1. trinzoo
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        isnt it better to be classed as defender?

    4. Fantastisk
      • 6 Years

      Everyone is Layun into him.

    RMT using wildcard for round 2. Am I making any big mistakes? I had to get Ronaldo in for games against morroco and iran

    Schmeicel
    Godin Varela Kjaer
    Rodriguez Coutinho Golovin Gazinsky
    Ronaldo Cavani Lukaku

    Subs - Uzoho Trippier C Sanchez Taglifaco

    1. lilmessipran

      chasing points imo

        That’s because I am haha

        Sorry didn’t mean to cause any offence, I see quite a few people use that phrase so assumed it was used quite commonly on this site. Sorry again

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Hey don't worry - used a lot, it's just sometimes frowned on during matches (not sure why)

    3. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      denamark still have France, I wouldn’t double up on their defence

      1. James2201
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I was thinking of taking out Kjaer for Ricardo Rodriguez but wasn’t sure

    4. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure about the Russian double up - they've had their easiest game. Agree on Denmark double up too.

      1. James2201
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I’m not sure about the Russians but I was short on funds and couldn’t see anyone else in that price bracket. My theory is that if they are not very good I will sub one of them off and bring an extra defender on. Unless there are any good cheap midfielders I am missing

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Layun is popular on here - cheap, lots of shots and playing for a decent attacking Mexico team. Think pickings are slim at the budget end! Would also see how the teams play tomorrow and see if anyone takes your fancy

    Tempted to put a fiver on this ending 2-1 to Tuna Land

    1. lilmessipran

      i'd put a tenner

    How weak is sterling?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Stronger than the Euro for sure

    2. Patch
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He needs to shave...it's holding him down, he barely weighs more than my right balls@ck

      1. lilmessipran
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        how old are u again ? i need to get my estimates right

        1. Patch
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Older than Kane but younger than Young

  20. James2201

    Is anyone else picture on bbc constantly flickering?

    1. Fantastisk
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Dunno, I switched to the Fox coverage as it is honestly less bad.

    2. Dr Dream
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    3. Third Eye Vision
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      There’s the explanation: midges in the system.

  21. Foozeball
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Running into Kyle Walker's outstretched arm and flopping like a sack of bricks = penalty
    Holding Harry Kane with both arms wrapped around him during set-pieces = not a penalty

    I'm not even an England fan but wtf are the referees thinking?

    1. Foozeball
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Oops, somehow accidentally double-posted this 😆

  22. diesel001
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Time to get Sterling off IMO. Get Vardy on. And possibly RLC for Lingard.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Rlc for alli imo

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    This ref is a joke

    1. diesel001
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      South American refs always like this. Whistle happy usually, except when there are corners and free kicks when anything goes.

    2. Foozeball
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He's definitely rather inconsistent. VAR can only do so much for bad refs :/

      Of course, England do also have themselves to blame for not taking their chances earlier

  24. Midlands Saint73

    Please get Sterling off.

    1. Dr Van Nostrand

      Need Sterling's pace. Dump Alli

  25. Dr Van Nostrand
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Should take Alli off for Rash. Alli has been poor

  26. Ógie

    Need Rashford,Vardy and Dier on asap.

    1. Dr Van Nostrand

      Dier what's he gonna do? Hendo is controlling the middle well enough

  27. Louis_Sans_Balls

    Squad changes England need to make, Rashford for Sterling, Rose for Young
