The FIFA World Cup is upon us and the fantasy league has just opened to the few hundred thousand fans who registered for FIFA's World Cup Fantasy game.

The basic idea is still the same. You are to select plays in your squad, who score points based on their performances. For the seasoned Fantasy Premier League players, there are a few subtle differences to note here. While the assigned total to spend remains 100 million, it is to be spent on a squad of 23 players. This brings the average cost to 4.38 million per player. Players are priced from 1 million to 10, and unlike the FPL, their values remain the same during the whole course of the tournament. You aren’t allowed any free transfers during the group stages, following which there are unlimited transfers in each knockout stage.

Hence, its of great importance that you find the garbage bin priced superstars that can turn your squad around and help you win that precious private league. Here are 5 players that can help you do so.

Kenneth Omeruo

Nigeria, CB | Cost 4

Kenneth Omeruo is ripe with potential at just 20 years of age, but he is already a regular starter for his international side, Nigeria. He played an important role in Nigeria’s success in the African Cup of Nations last year and has since had a successful season on loan at Middlesbrough. With a cost of just 4 million, Omeruo is tipped to have a great world cup ahead. His parent club, Chelsea, have recognized this and just offered him a contract extension. He is certainly worthy of being picked as a backup, if not a starter.
