Anyway, on with the group stage strikers…

World Cup Fantasy Football Tips, Group Stage: Strikers

If you’re playing the official version of the game then you’re required to select five strikers – we’d recommend going for three expensive options, offering you the flexibility of playing two or three up front, and two ‘cheapest possible’ options.

Cristiano Ronaldo at £10m is bound to be an automatic choice for a lot of people, given the Portugal star’s ability to score seemingly any kind of goal against anyone at any time.

Brazil duo Neymar (£9m) and Fred (£8m) can expect to fill their boots given that they enjoy home advantage in their games against Croatia, Mexico and Cameroon, and need we even mention Argentina’s glittering array of options?

Edin Džeko ended the season strongly enough for Manchester City to suggest that he can produce the goods for Bosnia and Herzegovina against Nigeria and Iran – and who knows, perhaps even Argentina too.

Džeko v Agüero? It’s a City-off! Oh, and Lionel Messi will be playing too…
