Turning massive amount of data into picks for your fantasy team.

Kieran Trippier (England)

Position: defender

Scorum Draft price : 6.0

An obvious but quality pick nonetheless. England has the best chance for a clean sheet in the quarterfinals - around 46%, and Trippier is the best defenceman of the World Cup both for chances created (12), and big chances created (3). He is on some set pieces and had two attempts on goal from set plays. Also, he plays out of position in England’s 3-5-2. An ideal fantasy pick according to all standards.

Harry Maguire (England)

Position: defender

Scorum Draft price: 5.5

Trippier’s partner has an equal chance for a clean sheet but other means of getting some attacking returns. Maguire is the king of the opponent’s box, he is on the receiving end of many of his teammates’ set plays crosses. He is good in the air and leads all World Cup defenders in penalty box touches - 14 (his closest rivals have 11 each). Maguire has 5 shots and 4 key passes to his name.

Marcus Berg (Sweden)

Position: forward

Scorum Draft price: 6.5

Best pick for those not trusting England to keep a clean sheet. Statistically, Swede’s attack is great and Berg is responsible for 40% of his team’s shots in the box. Berg has the most amount of shots (13) without scoring this tournament.

Luka Modric (Croatia)

Position: midfielder

Scorum Draft price: 8.0

Croatia’s penalty taker lead the tournament in chances created (11). Russia looks likely to adopt a defensive style again, and Modric long shot prowess might come in handy. Croatia is heavy favorites coming into the game, and their most influential attacking player simply can not be ignored.

Eden Hazard (Belgium)

Position: forward

Scorum Draft price: 11.0

Azar has been sensational for Belgium lately having not left the pitch without a goal or an assist in his last 7 tournament appearances. He is top notch statistics-wise as well: as many chances created as Modric, trails only Neymar in penalty area touches (32), and has great shooting numbers ( 9 shots in the box, 4 big chances). All this achieved only in 248 minutes (out of possible 360). He is Belgium’s designated penalty taker, ignore him at your own risk.

Coutinho (Brazil)

Position: midfielder

Scorum Draft price: 9.0

Statistically, Coutinho is flawless and is among midfield leaders in many key attacking categories: shots (17), shots in box (9), chances created (11), penalty box touches (18). During this World Cup Coutinho emerged as Brazil’s mastermind, with only one other player better than him.

Neymar (Brazil)

Position: forward

Scorum Draft price: 12.5

Neymar is World Cup’s best in shots (23), chances created (16), shots in box (15), and penalty box touches (48). He leads the last two categories by a mile. No other player this tournament matches Neymar’s involvement up front. The most active attacking player from the main contender to win the tournament - how can you leave him out of your fantasy team?
