Lewandowski focal point of overlooked World Cup match

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.

      Arguably the world’s greatest ever player off the back of a hat-trick? Nah, put it on the other guy.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I'm putting it on Cavani. Morocco are better than Saudi Arabia.

        1. Bees4Lyf
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          But Saudi Arabia looked shocking, couldn’t string a pass together

        I’m a ronaldo fanboy so Ronnie wins! Thanks that was easy!

        Any decent forward playing vs KSA should be captain imo. They are well and truly shocking

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I'm literally bringing in Salah next week just for that. They are woeful.

    Who is this Scottish sounding co commentator?

    1. Alan The Llama

      Ally McCoist

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        He's a whole lot better than Larenson.

        He's ok...quite like him.

    4. La Roja

      Rod Stewart

    5. Monkey Hanger

      Ally McMoist.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        So much better than listening to Lawrenson moaning his way through 90 mins. He actually brings every game down to miserable level.

        1. Monkey Hanger
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Have you seen him act? Now that really is a treat.

          1. Dr Dream
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            No. Tell me more.

            1. Monkey Hanger
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 10 months ago

              A Shot at Glory it's called. McMoist plays(really badly) a bad boy footballer dropping down a division or two to be managed by Robert Duval(with the worst Scottish accent ever). An absolute classic. Probably the worst football movie ever made. A must see.

    Isco+3.5 m or Ronaldo ?

  19. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Muslera + Maguire
    or
    Ochoa/Schmeihel + Trippier

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      B

  20. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Neymar maybe injured so out for who:

    A) Ronaldo (Suarez C that day)
    B) Harry (Lukaku C option)
    C) Salah (no C today)

  21. Siva Mohan
    • 11 Years

    Captain.. Suarez or Costa or Lukaku? #NonFantasyFIFA

  22. ★Kuntheman★

    Grosicki I love you, thanks for the points, now piss off.

  23. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years

    Lingard nailed on?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Should be. Played well and hot into of dangerous positions.

  24. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Best captain for this week regardless of changing the cap?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Cavani/Suarez or Kane.

    2. Horlicks esq.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Ronnie. All day long.

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Lukaku by far. Tunisia were awful at the back when sitting back defending, and this time they have to win.

      1. Horlicks esq.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Tunisia were horrible. It'll get nasty that one,

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Well we can change the cap, so...

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Not in all fantasy games.

  26. Horlicks esq.

    Isco the best 8.5m (or who is the best midfielder for RD2?)

  27. Jack Frost
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Russia XI vs Egypt: Akinfeev, Fernandes, Kutepov, Ignashevich, Zhirkov, Gazinskiy, Zobnin, Samedov, Golovin, Cheryshev, Dzyuba

  28. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Had Diallo in my team for most of the run-up to the opening match, but happy with the Poland goal after switching him out. He could still be a good option for those on a wildcard (for one more hour)

  29. Jay_
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Any quotes or updates on James fitness after the game?

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Not aware, but he looked very mobile to me

        1. Jay_
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Same. Cheers mate.
