Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.0m) is the World Cup Fantasy focus as Group B reaches its climax tonight.

The Portugal forward, with four goals in two matches, is owned by 33.3 percent to managers as his side prepare to face Iran.

Meanwhile, 20.7 percent are invested in Spain striker Diego Costa (£9.0m), who has three World Cup goals so far.

There is considerably more interest in Spain than there is Portugal. The next-most backed attacker in Ronaldo’s squad is Bernardo Silva (£8.0m) with 3.2 percent ownership.

However, there are players with double-figure ownership right through Fernando Hierro’s ranks.

21.7 percent of managers have backed Sergio Ramos (£6.5m) to record another clean sheet and possibly convert a penalty given that VAR has helped more of those be awarded than usual. 7.4 percent opted to save money by going with Gerard Pique (£6.0m).

David De Gea (£6.5m) still has the backing of 15.4 percent of managers despite his error in Gameround 1.

Further outfield, 22.1 percent of managers still own Isco (£8.5m) who is waiting for his first return of the tournament.

    Funny how most ppl in the footballing world was/is against VAR cuz it would slow the game up but when it’s available they are constantly drawing boxes with their hands for every decision/foul

  5. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years

  6. Fred54
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Ronaldo looked so sheepish there, knew he could have easily got sent off.

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

          1. Coaly
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Goals scored?

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

      Spain still through unless Spain lose by two.

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

    Ronaldo looks tired. Maybe didn’t get. Good nights sleep? 😉

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Disgraceful behaviour from Iran IMO. Glad they are going out.

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

    Only if Morocco could finish like this in the previous rounds.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah if they had a bit more luck they could easily have progressed.

  12. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    WCed in Ronaldo, Cheryshev, Carvajal and Costa 😀

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Missed the deadline.

      Own Suarez, Cavani, Isco and Beiranvan...B Silva.

      Not bad I suppose.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Nice. Didn't you WC in R2 though?

        1. Fred54
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Yep. Although missing the deadline meant I had expensive fodder like B Silva and Nacho in the ranks. If B Silva hadn't of come on I'd only have fielded 10 for the entire round.

  13. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    It’s coming home !!

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee

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

  14. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Portugal, let them score 2!

  15. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Too bad Morocco didn’t get anything in the other games. Fun team to watch.

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

      Yeah, couldn't finish their chances.

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

        would it be a bit non PC for me to say they played like they wanted Spain back?

  16. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Can you imagine Ronny captainers if he'd been sent off

    Red card

      1. Coaly
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Messi to punish

    4. Louis_Sans_Balls
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      nightmare scenario indeed!

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

    I don't want Uruguay vs Spain 🙁

  18. G-Whizz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Aspas goal ruled out!

    1. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      VAR called in to rule...

  19. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Goal this

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Agree.

  20. tm245
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    No goal, questionable offsides. VAR on the case.

  21. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Penalty coming

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

    That's a goal!

  23. Louis_Sans_Balls
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    VAR again, how many times has played been stopped, should be at least 10 min added on

  24. tm245
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Do elbows count?

  25. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

  26. The Bandit

  27. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

  28. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years

  29. tm245
    • 14 Years
