Colombia v England: Kane in high demand

The last World Cup 2018 quarter-final place will be decided this evening as Colombia and England meet in Moscow in a 7pm kick-off.

From a Fantasy perspective, there is only one place to start. Harry Kane (£11.2m) was the third-most bought player ahead of the round of 16 transfer deadline last Saturday, having attracted over 360,000 new owners in the McDonald’s FIFA game. Kane is now owned by 31% of Fantasy managers, with only Romelu Lukaku proving a more popular pick in attack.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker was lethal in his two group stage appearances, scoring from all five of his shots attempted inside the opposition box. Kane’s goal haul includes two successful spot-kicks.

Jesse Lingard (£7.6m) is, perhaps surprisingly, the next most-owned England asset, sitting in 16.8% of Fantasy squads.

John Stones (£5.9m) remains the most popular route into the England backline, having been selected by 14.6% of those playing McDonald’s FIFA. Gareth Southgate’s side have yet to keep a clean sheet at this year’s tournament but Stones has posed a threat from attacking set pieces, scoring on two occasions from five attempts on goal.

Colombia are without James Rodriguez (£9.0m) in their starting XI, with the attacking midfielder losing his race for fitness after picking up an injury in the 1-0 win over Senegal.

Juan Quintero (£5.7m), who has one goal and two assists to his name at this World Cup, and Carlos Sanchez (£4.3m) are the two most popular Colombia assets on show tonight, sitting in 15.2% and 10.4% of Fantasy squads respectively.

Yerry Mina (£5.8m), who has scored a goal and kept a clean sheet in both of his World Cup appearances, has been selected by 7.5% of McDonald’s FIFA managers, meanwhile.

      Yeah it's weird I think. Zidane was sent off for a 'headbutt', that was more of a nudge- but a deliberate nudge with the head... you would've thought if it was card worthy it'd be a penalty...but dunno!

    England the better side but hard to score when the other team are cyncially fouling and wrestling all the time.

    Unless the ref gets a grip in the 2nd half, this could turn into a bad advert for the WC. Time for VAR to get involved too.

      ok, he doesn't always pass when he should, but his dribbling and agility could be the key to unlocking the Colombian defence
