Robert Lewandowski (£9.5m) is the Fantasy focal point of Poland’s opening game of the World Cup against Senegal – but Fantasy managers have largely steered clear of this fixture.

The Bayern Munich striker is one just two players in the match with more than five percent ownership on McDonald’s FIFA World Cup Fantasy game, sitting in 8.5% of squads.

Meanwhile, midfielder Salif Sane’s lowly price of £4.5m convinced 6.6% of managers to use him as a budget enabler.

Liverpool attacker Sadio Mane (£8.5m) hasn’t been particularly fancied for goals by Fantasy managers as he is owned by just 3.6%.

POLAND XI (4-2-3-1): Szczęsny; Rybus, Pazdan, Cionek, Piszczek; Krychowiak, Zieliński; Grosicki, Milik, Błaszczykowski; Lewandowski

SENEGAL XI (4-4-1-1): K N’Diaye; Sabaly, Kouyaté, Sané, Wagué; Niang, Gueye, A N’Diaye, Sarr; Mané; Diouf.

Really want Ronaldo, Costa and Cavani as my strikers but they all play on the same day. Is it too risky doing that or could it pay off?

    with that frontline you'd most likely only be able to have 2 decent mids and the only that are worth it imo are Brazilian and Isco. Isco also plays on the same day so you'd really only have two decent ones. I'd want at least three good captaincy options

      That front line would have been great in the last round, even with Cavani's blank.

        "would have been great in the last round" exactly in the last round it would have been great but not necessarily this round. Let's say that whoever he captains blanks but the other two do something. Then two of his four forwards (captain counts as two) would have blanked and two would have done something. If he gets three forwards who all play on other days, he just needs one of them to do something to have two of his four get points. It just helps his odds of getting more points

        I just think Costa v Iran, Cavani v SA and Ronaldo v Morocco they are bound to get goals.
        Also have Coutinho/Kimmich to fall back on. Other option is go Messi over Ronaldo but Croatia are a lot better than Morroco.

22m for the 3 players left. Which one?
A. Messi Meza/Layun Godin
B. Cavani Siggy/Bilva Hegazi
C. Gabriel Jesus Willian Hegazi
D. something else

Any other suggestions also welcome

  You need the money for what?
  
  There are only 2 expensive midfielders worth getting - Isco + Coutinho. In defense, there are so many great 4.5m options too that you could have just those and still have a good defense. Look at a backline of:
  
  Ochoa Uzoho
  Danilo Varela Akanji Dalsgaard Nacho
  
  If you get cheapies in midfield you can get whatever you want up front.
