The 15th and penultimate fixture of Matchday 1 kicks off at 16:00 GMT.

2016 European champions Portugal face the lowest-ranked country at this year’s World Cup, Ghana, in this Group H encounter.

It’s all about Cristiano Ronaldo ($10.0m) and co from a Fantasy perspective, as there isn’t a single Ghana player picked by more than 1.7% of managers.

The second-most-owned player in the FIFA World Cup Fantasy game, and the most-selected defender, is Portugal’s Joao Cancelo ($6.0m).

The full-back starts for Fernando Santos’s side this afternoon, as does the 13.7%-owned Ronaldo.

Two more Portugal assets with double-digit ownerships, goalkeeper Diogo Costa ($5.0m) and Ronaldo’s erstwhile club team-mate Bruno Fernandes ($9.5m), also make the line-up, as expected.

There are more Premier League representatives among the Ghana side, too, with Daniel Amartey ($4.5m), Mohammed Salisu ($3.5m) and Thomas Partey ($6.0m) all starting.

Jordan Ayew ($6.0m) and Tariq Lamptey ($4.0m) are on the bench, meanwhile.

MATCHDAY 1 LINE-UPS

Portugal XI: Costa; Cancelo, Danilo, Dias, Guerreiro; Neves; Fernandes, Bernardo, Otávio, Félix; Ronaldo.

Ghana XI: Ati Zigi; Seidu, Djiku, Salisu, Amartey, Rahman; Partey, Samed; Kudus, Williams, A Ayew.

why does Ghana always get screwed over in WCs?

Portugal in similar position to Belgium. 3 points from first game and I still wouldn't feel confident that they get out of the group.

A France or England would dismantle them.

  If they come second they're out. They'll have to face Brazil probably.

Chris Houghton in Ghana backroom team.

Wish Portugal all the bad luck rest of the world cup. Hope Uruguay and south korea destroy these cheaters.
Ronaldo should never be considered as one of the best anymore.
Plain lucky team won 2016 euros by winning just 1 game all tournament and 6,draws.. Now again just luck

    He bought the penalty. He's streetwise, waited for contact then tumbled. Has done it plenty of times before. Ghana defence was poor overall though.

Figo and Rooney have also told its not a penalty.
