World Cup fantasy football tips: Most picked XI ahead of Russia 2018 – Ronaldo unpopular
WORLD CUP 2018 – Cristiano Ronaldo may be one of the best players on the planet, but he is currently very unpopular with fantasy football managers ahead of the tournament in Russia.
The World Cup is just around the corner, and fantasy football managers are already hard at work assembling their squads ahead of the first match.
With £100million to spend and players from all around the world to choose from, selecting just 15 stars can prove a tricky business.
Express Sport have already handed out a few top tips to help bosses with their official FIFA fantasy football teams – but just which players are proving most popular?
Cristiano Ronaldo is certainly not receiving much investment, with just five per cent of gaffers picking the Portugal captain at the time of writing.
This is in stark contrast to his great rival Lionel Messi, with 30 per cent of managers selecting the Argentinian star in their sides.
Take a look through the gallery above to see which players make up the most selected World Cup 2018 fantasy football XI ahead of the tournament in Russia.
