Paddy Power Special – 8/1 for England to Win, 7/1 for Draw, 6/1 for Italy to Win

After Holland’s stunning 5-1 rout of defending champions Spain last night, Paddy Power are rolling out a tempting offer for those yet to register an account. With Roy Hodgson’s England set to face Italy in the 11pm kick-off, our bookmaker mates are offering odds of 8/1 for the Three Lions to triumph, 7/1 for a draw or 6/1 on Cesare Prandelli’s troops to open their campaign with a victory:

Given that the regular odds are 2/1, 2/1 and 7/4 respectively, this is clearly another great offer from Paddy. Click here to get involved.

Those who already have an account with Paddy can still take advantage of a Money Back Special on offer. Paddy will refund all losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score & Scorecast singles on the match as a free bet if Italy win – found out more here.

To clarify, the England v Italy enhanced odds special is limited to a £10 stake, open to new Paddy Power customers only and subject to the terms and conditions specified. New customers can only opt for one of the three offers.

Finally, of course, we should state that all these offers are only available to those aged 18 and over and are subject to Paddy Power’s terms and conditions. Also, if you’re going to bet, always gamble responsibly.

Aurier was flagged up in the scout reports, certainly seems a player. Wouldn't ManC have been better forking out some cash for the likes of him or other youngster than paying a mercenary wage for 31 year old Sagna. Don't quite get it.

    I´m sure that´s Aurier´s agent, but agree, I can see Wenger much more timid on the close than a Mourinho. Remember snatch and grab before major tournaments work both ways as well.

It just hit me that maybe McDons not showing us our opponents in our mini leagues is pretty fair, since we are all making what amount to a bunch of transfers within each Group Phase and part of the challenge is making your moves without knowing what they have done.

Hey guys, have set up the Deadzone Picks in a clearer spreadsheet with average ranks and deviations from the mean. Red means you are well below the mean and green means you are well above it. Uruguay killed me today.

Cheers to TorresMagic for updating the scores tonight.

1 Question. Since for the FIFA(McDonalds Fantasy game) updates point totals/league positions AFTER each round and not after each game, how are they going to do that when Brazil play Tuesday BEFORE the final first round game with Russia? Unless they treat the Russia game as Round 2 even though it would still be round 1. Hopefully they don't mess it up anymore than they already have lol

Is it confirmed that a formation change will shift out the player on the right?

My forwards are (from left to right) Neymar , Suarez, Martinez

I am currently at 3-4-3 , but both 4-4-2 and 3-5-2 look like better options.

If I make the switch, which forward will be out?

    cheers
    
    I did run some tests. and I can confirm that it always is the player on the right that is left out. (on the right of the screen, as you point out Banskt)
    
    If two players must go, say you change from 3-4-3 to 5-3-2 , this still applies and the forward and midfielder to the right are dropped to the bench.
    
    If a player "to the right" is the captain, and he is being shifted out due to a formation change, he is still shifted out, and your team now has no captain, and you have to just chose a new captain.

      Players that have played cannot be moved around on the pitch it seems, you can only send them to the bench giving them a padlock sign next to the name.
      
      As far as I can tell this means that when chosing your lineup for the round you must always place players that play earlies to the left, and then fill up from left to right according to the date their match starts, having the guy that place last to the far right.
      
      This allows you to change formation even if your players playing early have made a good score. And thus can squeze the full potential out of your whole squad.
