Dugout Discussion

World Cup 2014 – Dugout Discussion – Matchday One, Day Five

Fantasy managers are treated to a feast of football once again this evening, with a trio of fixtures on the agenda. Undoubtedly, the standout match is the 5pm kick-off, where Germany brace themselves for a tough opening showdown with Portugal:

Germany: Neuer; Boateng, Hummels, Mertesacker, Howedes; Lahm, Khedira, Muller, Ozil, Kroos; Gotze.

Portugal: Patricio; Pereira, Alves, Pepe, Coentrao; Veloso, Moutinho, Meireles; Nani, Almeida, Ronaldo.

Judging by the team sheets, Philipp Lahm is set to reprise his club role for the Germans, with the captain likely to be fielded in the centre of the park. Jerome Boateng and Benedikt Howedes are set to be handed the full-back roles, whilst further up the pitch, those recent rumours suggesting Mesut Ozil could be dropped turned out to be nothing more than red herrings – as many expected, the Arsenal man takes his place in the starting XI alongside Thomas Muller, Toni Kroos and Mario Gotze in the four attacking slots.

Portugal line up as expected. Cristiano Ronaldo recovers from injury to take his place on the left of a front three, with Nani wide right and Hugo Almeida handed the central role up top.

Later on, the second game in Group F gets underway at 8pm, where Iran and Nigeria go head-to-head. Both sides will be desperate for a win to boost their prospects of progressing, though with upcoming clashes against Argentina and Bosnia still to follow, neither of the underdogs have been subject to much Fantasy investment. Carlos Quieroz’ side are expected to park the bus and hit their opponents on the counter, though the Africans will be hoping the likes of John Obi Mikel, Victor Moses, Peter Odemwingie and Emmanuel Emineke can make the difference in the final third.

Our 11pm kick-off looks an even affair as Ghana square up to the USA. With both sides in the same group as Germany and Portugal, Fantasy investment has been minimal – Kevin Prince Boateng and Asamoah Gyan carry the main threat for Kwesi Appiah’s side, whilst Clint Dempsey, Jozy Altidore and Michael Bradley look the most likely for Jurgen Klinsmann’s troops.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Sudden death coming up between IM and Innsie. Here are the rules

    *Time limit 5 minutes for each question
    *There will be a total of 3 questions
    *+5 for a correct answer (only counts if you are the first person to answer correctly)
    *-10 for a wrong answer
    *If you don't wish to attempt a question, just write PASS (0 points for that, no negative marking)
    *If you don't reply to a question within 5 minutes, I'll take it as a PASS (would be better if you write it though for my convenience)

    Also I would request others to please refrain from answering the questions in this round. It has been a fantastic quiz, please let it be played in good spirit so that everyone can enjoy it. Cheers!

    So I have Alderweireld and De Bruyne playing tonight, I also have Kombarov and Bentaleb still on my bench.

    My lowest scoring defender so far is Rojo with 7 and midfielder is Valbuena with 6.

    With Kombarov I'll wait to see what Alderweireld gets first, if he gets less than 7 I'll sub him out for Kombarov.

    But what about Bentaleb, would you give him a go or stick with Valbuena's 6?

    Also what if Alderweireld gets more than 7, would you sub Kombarov in for Rojo's 7 or stick?

      Think I'm twisting Rojo to Kombarov (don't have Belgian defenders) and Ozil (4) to Bentaleb.

      May as well twist all unless Alderweireld scores 8+ then I'd keep Kombarov benched.

      I have exactly the same situation with the same players. I am defo changing defenders since there is a double chance of bettering the 7 points.

      If KDB starts I will bring him in. I would expect him to get at least 4 points so you are only really risking 2 points for a potential haul.

    A lots been said about how European teams would struggle in the climate. The best two performances so far have been holland and Germany. Against decent enough sides also. I still think Argentina will end up winning but hmmm....

          Would obviously rather have Hazard than Cabaye but I reckon Silva will do well enough in the next two games to swing it in his favour.

    For Android users (other I do not know):

    You can make changes on the phone if you download the Fifa app from the play store. You will find the Fifa Mcdonald's Fantay Game under the games section. Just tap on the player on the pitch you want out and tap on the one you want in from the bench.

    I used it to make my second phase subs.
