RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Ramires is in the starting XI in place of Hulk (hamstring) for Brazil's World Cup match against Mexico on Tuesday, FIFA.com reports.
Hulk downplayed the injury in the previous days, but it's clearly enough to keep him limited. Ramires isn't nearly the offensive threat that Hulk is, so it's tough to expect significant fantasy production from the Chelsea midfielder.

Ramires assisted on Demba Ba's 90th minute goal during Chelsea's 3-0 win over Southampton on Sunday.
The assist was Ramires' second this season, with the first coming back against Cardiff on October 19. He doesn't get involved in Chelsea's scoring nearly enough to warrant much fantasy consideration, with Oscar, Eden Hazard and occasionally Juan Mata as better plays out of the Chelsea midfield.
