The Back 9 reaches its halfway point as continental Europe's oldest national open heads to a change of scenery at the FedEx Open de France. Here is all that players of the DP World Tour's official fantasy game need to know.

A world-class field of local and international talent has gathered at Golf de Saint-Nom-La-Bretèche while work is carried out at usual venue Le Golf National.
French stars David Ravetto, Frederic Lacroix, Julien Guerrier, Martin Couvra and last week's runner-up Adrien Saddier have all tasted DP World Tour glory over the past couple of seasons, while Matthieu Pavon has also become a PGA TOUR winner.
That sensational six are all in the field this week and are joined by Rolex Series winner Victor Perez and fellow DP World Tour winners Antoine Rozner, Romain Langasque and Alexander Levy.
Five-time Major winner Brooks Koepka is playing for a third week in a row on the DP World Tour, with PGA TOUR stars Michael Kim and Corey Conners from the United States and Canada rerspectively on the hunt for maiden DP World Tour wins.
Kiwi Ryan Fox and Australia's Min Woo Lee also tee it up having won on the other side of the pond in 2025, while Dan Bradbury defends his title.
From insight into the week’s most-picked players among Fantasy managers, to our ones to watch, we run the rule ahead of Thursday’s deadline to pick your team.
Who are the most picked players?
Fresh off a strong week at the BMW PGA Championship, PGA TOUR regular Harry Hall is the player selected in the most teams, having been picked by 73% of players.
Local hero and loser in a play-off at Wentworth Saddier is next in 69% of teams before Min Woo Lee sits third in 57% of selections.
Thomas Detry and Ryan Fox round out the top five at 46% and 45% respectively.
Who are our ones to watch?
Here, we pick out three players in action this week who are worth considering for your Fantasy team selections.
Favourite - Harry Hall
While it is a close run thing in both contests, Englishman Hall is the most popular player not just with our players but with the bookmakers too. The man from Cornwall won his maiden PGA and DP World Tour title last season at the ISCO Championship and is so far enjoying a brilliant 2025. Five top tens saw him make the field for the PGA TOUR's Tour Championship and a top 15 last week at the BMW PGA Championship moved him into the top 50 on the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time. He will now be looking for a maiden win on his home continent and a place in the DP World Tour Play-Offs.
Form Horse - Adrien Saddier
Not a hard decision to make here and it is easy to see why the local hero is second most-picked in our teams this week. The Frenchman has missed just three cuts all season and claimed his maiden DP World Tour win at the Italian Open. He is clearly developing a taste for the big stage, following a top five at the Amgen Irish Open with a play-off loss in the Rolex Series last week at Wentworth Club. He held the 54-hole lead at both those events and it would be no surprise to see him challenging on Sunday again on home soil.
Wild Card - Yannik Paul
A proven winner on the DP World Tour, it is safe to say things have not quite gone Paul's way in the last couple of years. This time two years ago he had narrowly missed out on making the Ryder Cup team and now at 112th on the Race to Dubai Rankings he is battling to keep his card. But a course that is unfamiliar to most of the field can be a great leveller and Paul loves playing in France. His worst finish on French soil is a tie for 11th at the Hopps Open de Provence on the HotelPlanner Tour in 2021, with three top tens at this event following. Add in a first made cut since July last week and the tide may just be starting to turn for the German.

Looking back - BMW PGA Championship
Alex Noren claimed a second win in three starts so it was perhaps surprising that the Swede earned 233 points for just 7.03% of players, with only 117 having the 2017 champion as their captain.
Our Favourite Rory McIlroy had a strong finish to end the week in a tie for 20th, Form Horse Tommy Fleetwood battled to make both cuts before moving up into a tie for 46th and Wild Card Kiradech Aphibarnrat finished in a tie for 63rd.
