A budget starter with points potential is desirable in any Fantasy game, even the chaotic FIFA World Cup one.
While some generous pricing and the ‘budget’ hack make cut-price gems perhaps less coveted than they are in, say, Fantasy Premier League (FPL), most squads will generally contain at least one bargain-bin goalkeeper or outfielder.
Here we look through the cheapest starting players in Matchday 1 and what their current points are showing as. We’re expecting further changes to those once the additions and deductions are eventually processed – if the rules aren’t changed again, of course…
