Telegraph World Cup fantasy – striker player rankings
Here’s a link to our defender and GK player rankings and our midfield player rankings. There’s also our rules and introduction article plus our TFF pundit Stephen Troop on strategy for the telegraph world cup fantasy format
APPROACH
I’ve provided a table of stats with a mixture of stats related to qualification, their club form and some bookies odds on teams winning the Groups to rank the players.
STATS EXPLAINED
Grp W odds – This is an amalgamation of the odds to win each game within the Group. It is to give an indication of the fixture difficulty for each team within their Group. The lower the odds the better obviously. They are of over a week ago before distorted by betting patterns.
A in Q – Appearances in qualifying matches
Gls in Q – Goals in qualifying matches
Club starts and sub – The starts in League matches only for the 17/18 season for their clubs plus sub appearances.
Goals and assists – The Goals in those league matches only.
Mins G/A – The minutes it took in League for a goal or assist to happen.
THE SCHEDULE
It maybe difficult to read on a phone especially so here’s the link to the google spreadsheet if you want to copy it and mess about with it yourself.
I’ve tried to only include those players who I think are fairly gametime certain although that is a difficult task especially with some of the lesser known countries. I have ranked them although there is enough information for you to make a decision yourself.
