World Cup Fantasy Football – 10 transfers to make for your Dream Team XI
After round one, you should look to bring in these stars as you look to win your mini-leagues
The first round of fixtures has been completed at World Cup 2018 and it’s already providing some Dream Team headaches.
Those of you who picked Cristiano Ronaldo will be feeling smug having watched him net a hat-trick against Spain, while Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku have also done well.
Some of our bargain tips have proved their worth with Jose Gimenez and Aleksandar Kolarov grabbing goals for Uruguay and Serbia respectively, and Kasper Schmeichel getting a clean sheet for Denmark and .
But which players should you bring in to your ahead of the next round of matches? Find out our picks below.
If you can afford him, he may be a smart pick up. The Pharaohs were defeated in their opening game without him and if he starts against Russia and Saudi Arabia could single-handedly save their World Cup.
Okay, he only got three points against Egypt but he was his nation’s most dangerous player. He could run riot against Saudi Arabia if team-mate Luis Suarez perks up and provides him with more ammo in front of goal.
His strike against Switzerland was an absolute peach and while it will be tough for him to do the dame against Costa Rica you have to be hopefully he’ll play a huge role for his nation.
An impressive showing against Costa Rica should have resulted in at least an assist, if not a goal, but it was promising enough for him to get into our thoughts for a transfer ahead of Serbia’s game with Switzerland.
This price-tag looks dirt cheap, although it must be noted his first appearance was only against Panama. If he can link further with Romelu Lukaku against Tunisia he could get a big haul on Saturday.
One of our bargain picks ahead of the tournament, the Tottenham right-back looked great delivering the ball from open play and set-pieces. He could cause real havoc against Panama.
Yet another of our pre-World Cup bargains, Lozano is a cheap forward. He’s got South Korea and Sweden next and could make hay while the sun shines.
