Minimal role as defensive anchor
Gueye had one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and four chances created in Friday's 5-0 win against Iraq.
Analysis: Gueye operated as the most defensive midfielder in this game, which limited his impact going forward. The nature of his role considerably limits his fantasy impact, as the Everton star has three shots, five chances created, six tackles and two interceptions in three starts and 268 minutes of World Cup action.
Attempts two shots in loss
Gueye had two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 3-2 loss versus Norway.
Analysis: Gueye missed a couple of distance shots when he had a chance to push forward from a holding midfield role Monday. Other than that, he stood out for a 90 percent pass accuracy throughout the match. He's likely to retain a starting role going forward, with most of his value coming from defensive and possession stats, as well as the occasional long-range strikes.
