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.

    Would you replace c. Sanchez with that Russian chap who is 4.5 and scored, or would you get rid of lewandowski or muller for some Spain cover (Costa or isco) or anyone else on their price. Just for rd2. Thanks

    1. The Cherry Picker
      • 9 Years

      Spain

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

        Thanks, in which case, Costa vs isco, what the lowdown?

  3. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Neymar to Ronaldo nobrainer?

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

      Yep. 100%

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not if you have to ask.

    3. ManLikeMeyler (Team Argenti…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      You used your brain to come to the conclusion that it's a no-brainer. Therefore, no.

  4. ManLikeMeyler (Team Argenti…
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Poland are a shambles

  5. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Do you think Spain will keep a cleanie against Morocco?

    1. ManLikeMeyler (Team Argenti…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yep

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      For sure

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely. I also thought Germany would beat Mexico.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        😀

  6. diesel001

    Always feel Poland are a bit arrogant as a team. Not exactly full of star names, but so many of their players act like they are stars. Poland's objective should be simple - defend well and get the ball to Lewa to score.

    Second place in Group G is basically in the Semi Finals.

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

      nice easy route for Belgium to semis then

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      It is quite funny how it might turn out.

      2nd place could be Senegal or Japan then Mexico

      First could be Colombia then Brazil.

      Long way to go though, got to beat Panama first...

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

  12. shady4revr

    Can i make golovin captain today and cavani tomorrow? Or it will count in that day only?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      You can make Golovin captain today and switch

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

      You can.

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      You can change every day.

      Also it might be worth having a read of the rules.

  13. andy85wsm

    Final WC question...

    Lukaku + Hegazi

    or

    Cavani + Tagliafico

    If I don't have Lukaku I only really have Layun as a captain option that day with Inui on the final day.

    Cavani won't be captained as I have Ronaldo.

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

      Luk option

    2. ManLikeMeyler (Team Argenti…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Probably B.
      Akanji > Hegazi imo

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Have Akanji already. Gone very cheap at the back!

        Halldorsson - Ben Mustapha

        Salcedo - Varela - Pavard - Hegazi - Akanji

        Isco - Coutinho - Golovin - Layun - Inui

        Messi - Ronaldo - Lukaku

        1. ManLikeMeyler (Team Argenti…
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Looks good, though I'd question if Messi is worth 12 especially with Uruguay playing the Saudis

          1. andy85wsm
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Aye.

            Argentina a potentially good captain in round 2 and 3 though. Otherwise it would need to be a French player.

            Lukaku could become Cavani...

            1. ManLikeMeyler (Team Argenti…
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah, plenty of viable options around. Best of luck.

        2. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Get rid of Messi. Cavani and bulk up defence

    3. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      B

  14. Latch86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Cheeky re-post...

    WC to the following team?? (* = new players)

    *Kane* / *Cavani* / Lukaku
    Carrasco / *Isco* / *Coutinho* / Meza (or *Layun*?) / 5m TBC
    Kimmich / Dalsgaard / Varela / *Anjani* / *Nacho*
    *Muslera* / *Ben Mustapha*

    -- or stick with original team and just swap Messi for Cavani / Suarez? --

    Messi / Jesus / Lukaku
    Carrasco / Meza / Grosicki / Belhanda / Mueller
    Kimmich / Dalsgaard / Varela /​ ​Pavard / ​Danilo​
    Caballero / Uzoho

  15. ManLikeMeyler (Team Argenti…
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Milik has been bollocks

  16. Deulofail
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Need an injury or ban or both or more to get P. Ndiaye nailed for the next two games.

  17. Who are all Lukakus
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    repost:

    Please RMT, 0.5 itb

    Pickford, Caballero

    Meuniere, Danilo, Trippier, Varela, Pavard

    Eriksen James Cueva Meza Nandez

    Lukaku Cavani Jesus

    Pavard > 5m defender or Nandez --> 5.5m mid (Layun etc...) ?

  18. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    That Senegal manager is definitely the African Klopp

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

      Seems a bit more in control of himself

  19. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years

    James to
    A) kroos
    B) isco

        B. Stop overthinking. 😉

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

          Wouldn’t lol.
          Kroos being heavily overlooked.
          Got both Isco and Kroos

    2. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Why sell?

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

        Isco has a better fixture
        Loved kroos's performance and Germans will be pumped up after the lose against Mexico

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

          Colombia could be psyched too? Each to their own. Hope it's a free transfer 🙂

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

        Depends on how the player that I swap him with performs

    Currently on Eriksen, Costa and Cavani. Would you do the switch?

    Eriksen > 5.5
