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.

    Here we go.

    Sabaly hattrick.

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      2 goals in about 200 career league appearances, so there's a chance.

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Where is the Senegal coach's guitar?

  2. ihateramsey2
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Firmino nailed if neymar out?

  3. umerlfc
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    A or B on Wildcard?

    A) Geurreiro
    B) Danilo

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. GoonerByron
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      B

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      B

  4. Point-one short
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed: Which option of these is best?

    A) El Kaabi, Mueller -> Jesus, 5.0 mid -4
    B) Pavard -> Alvarez
    C) Mueller, Pavard -> Isco, Godin/Gimenez -4

    Team is:

    Cavani, Lukaku, El Kaabi
    Mueller, Coutinho, JRod, Eriksen, Inui
    Meunier, Danilo, Varela, Pavard, Dalsgaard
    Pickford, Uzoho

    Would be bench-boosting for gw2

    1. Latch86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Costa rather than Jesus

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Would you do A) (with Costa) of those options?

  5. Kasper the ghost keeper
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hold onto Jesus or get Costa?

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Costa

      1. Kasper the ghost keeper
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Would you prioritise that move over Belhanda to Layun?

        1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          No

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Twist on a free

  6. Latch86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Cavani or Suarez in for Messi? Saudi Arabia look so weak I can't see how it's possible not to have some Uruguay attacking coverage!

    Other forwards are Jesus and Luk. Saving WC for round 3 - unless strong reasons to use for round 2?!

    1. GoonerByron
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      My reason to use it in GW2 was to get both Suarez and Cavani in 😉

  7. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone know who's on penalties/free kicks for Spain?

    1. Mysterion
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No but it's definitely not one guy

    2. Niemi
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      David Silva on penalties most likely.

  8. azz007
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Please RMWCT.

    Kane* - Ronaldo* - Cavani
    Layun* - Couts - Cheryshev* - Isco* - (Halfredsson*)
    Varela - Menuir - Dalsgaard* - R.Rodgriguez* (Maguire*)
    Ochoa* - Uzoho*

    *denotes drafted in player on WC. any other options?

    1. The Cherry Picker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Costa for me over cavani

      1. azz007
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Iran were stubborn agaosnt Morroco and got the W. think theyl sit bakc and defend.

        Saudi are a mess. goals galore. uruguay cover essential. even double up defence

  9. Bad Kompany
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    When Salah returns do you think he'll be at full strength or at least close to it?

  10. child of God
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    With 58 points in round 1 , should I be kissing the car goodbye ?

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Defo

    2. The Cherry Picker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yep

  11. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hoping for a 1-1 here tbh. Forgot to sub Sabaly on

  12. FPL ElasticO
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Is it worth BB with this team ??..... Need some advise Guys.....

    Uzoho/ Ochoa
    Varela / Kimmich / Marcelo / Meunier / Dalsgaard
    Golovin / Cheryshev / Isco / Coutinho / Inui
    Ronaldo / Costa / Lozano

    1. The Cherry Picker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Just WC’d?

  13. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Worth sticking with my 3 premium defenders in Danilo, Meunier, Rodriguez? Unconvinced about Meunier..

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I would sell Meunier now

      1. Lewa
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Why?

        1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Because he's 6.0 mil and didn't show anything vs Panama. If you're not on a wc then keep him.

  14. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Guess who I ended up with as a captain? yep, C.Sanchez and -6 points 😀

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      oh dear, was always going to catch out a few, unlucky!

    2. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That's pretty funny

    3. The Cherry Picker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That’s hilarious.

  15. OldBenKenobi
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    With the news that Salah starts tonight my WC team looks set to go!

    Ronaldo Cavani Salah (c)
    Coutinho Kroos Isco Layun
    Kimmich Danilo Varela
    Ochoa

    Uzoho Inui Sakai Idowu

  16. 420king
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Which option looks best for next round only:

    A) Neymar to Kane
    B) James to Isco
    C) Neymar to Kane, James to Coutinho (-4)

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years

      A

      1. 420king
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks all.

  17. Addecadabra
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Kane or costa?

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Kane against Panama is hattrick material

    2. lone_wolf
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Both for me

  18. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Who should I replace Meunier with?
    1.0 ITB, so can afford anyone, or downgrade him as well.

    Currently have Sabaly danilo varela Rodriguez

    1. Atwood
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Is that your only transfer? If so, why get rid?

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I’m on WC

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Alba

  19. PickleRick
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    A: Rebic, Eriksen, Kimmich
    or
    B: Lewa, Cueva, Trippier

    1. The Cherry Picker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A for me

  20. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    A- Muller > Coutinho (better for captaincy rotation)
    B - Werner > Costa (Werner rotation risk?)
    C - Other

    Muslera / Uzoho
    Varela /Trippier / Pavard / Mojica / Meunier
    Isco / Muller / Cueva / Grosicki / Colindres
    Cavani / Lukaku / Werner

  21. Alex_thekid
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Which mid would you transfer out and to who
    Ljajic Cueva Belhanda J Rodriguez

    1. The Cherry Picker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      James

  22. bengan1113
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    A. Messi -> Suarez
    B. Jesus -> Costa (or Silva?)
    C. Aldawsari -> Nandez

    If Neymar is out (source?), is Jesus more likely to play or not?

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      B.) Costa

  23. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Layun, please don’t become the new aldawsari

  24. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Invest in Mexico for a 5.0 defender? If so who?

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Goalie

  25. The Cherry Picker
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Every yellow card in this group is useful for England.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      😆

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      However a red card has been the most effective so far

  26. hooosay
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Which one?
    A:Godin+Akanji
    B:Varela+Ricardo Rodriguez

    1. The Cherry Picker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. PickleRick
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      B, Rodriguez on set-pieces

  27. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts?

    - max cap to be played
    - worried about no Kane

    Ochoa, Uzoho
    Godin, Maguire, Varela, Dalsgaard, Akanji
    Coutinho, Eriksen, Isco, Layun, Inui
    Ronaldo, Cavani, Costa

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not yet, later when there is fewer players to choose from

  28. Kolarov Fpl Legend
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I hate when they complicate corners.

  29. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Senegal impressive so far, well drilled and physical at the back and quick on the counter

  30. Chandler Bing
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Should I be wildcarding this team?

    Uzoho Al Muaiouf
    Trippier Meunier Pavard Varela Sabaly
    Eriksen JRod Ljajic Al Dawsari Paulinho
    Cavani Lukaku Griezmann

    Or just do JROD + Al Dawsari -> Isco + Layun
