    sounds about right.

    i'd like to see Fer and/or Lens get in for the Dutch, but they'll likely be subs i guess.

    that makes me think, though, maybe some of the big stars in the 3rd place game (Robben, Oscar, Huntelaar, Sneijder) could come off at half time! 🙁 that'd be awful...

      Of those Robben and Sneijder are probably most at risk as Van Gaal really doesn't rate the play offs. I think Oscar will play, as will Huntelaar but can easily see one or perhaps both of Robben and Sneijder benched. Until we know more though have to assume they will both start.

    New to fantasy sports but I've gotten myself in 2nd place in a field of 5,000 entrants.

    Have 1 transfer left and want to make it count.

    Please rank in terms of probability.

    A) Huntelaar scores 1 or more goals

    B) Argentina clean sheet vs GER

    C) Schurrle scores 1 or more goals (after coming in for Gotze or Klose)

    D) Ozil scores 1 or more goals

    E) Lahm or Howedes get involved w/ an assist and German clean sheet.

    Thanks in advance. : )

    And whats the story with Jaan Maat? I heard he was referred to as the Dutch Dani Alves and he does appear to love flying forward but hasn't featured much in the WC...
