World Cup 2014 – Introducing FantasyiTeam

After getting our World Cup analysis underway with yesterday’s look at Brazil’s main men and Cameroon earlier today, it’s time to give you a heads-up on some of the games we’re going to be playing during the tournament. Fantasy iTeam were one of the first to swing open their doors and we’re delighted to say that we’ll be supporting their World Cup game during the summer.

FantasyiTeam is a free Fantasy football app that’s available on a number of mobile devices, including iPhone, iPad, iPodTouch and Android. It’s been around since the last World Cup and we’ve been discussing an opportunity to work with their team ever since.

With so many of you accessing this site and other apps on your mobile or tablets, the World Cup is the perfect opportunity for us to jump on board – set up a league and try the game out within the community. As mentioned, the game is up and running, nice and slick and proven over a number of seasons with a dedicated following.

Fantasy iTeam is free to download and play, you can already go in and start drafting up your starting XI with unlimited transfers and, with a £500 Amazon voucher on offer to the Fantasy Football Scout league winner, there’s no reason not to get involved.

We’ve already tinkered and set up an official Fantasy Football Scout league for you to join – the league name is Fantasy Football Scout and the pin is 4915.

What’s more, the game is littered with decent prizes should you find yourself challenging at the very top. Finish first overall and you win a trip a trip of a lifetime to share with your mates, worth £5,000, whilst the highest scoring manager of every Gameround (there are seven in total) wins a £250 Amazon voucher.

The FantasyiTeam game also uses fluctuating player prices based on the transfer market, making it a wise idea to follow the movers and shakers – the team with the highest value by the end of the tournament wins another £500 Amazon voucher.

If you’ve been itching to commit to a World Cup game and you’ve got a compatible device, then there’s really no reason not to click here for the official website and download the app.

We’ll be ramping up our coverage of the game and our league over the next week or so. We’ll start by giving the Fantasy iTeam rules a good grilling, before following up with a scan of their player list for potential bargains.

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

      Haven't checked it out in detail yet but from the sound of it there is an advantage to be had by buying credits, yes. Extra transfers I think.

      I'm going to just play it for free and see where I can get to in the FFS mini league - I'm hoping nobody will bother paying in that.

      You can still do pretty well if you're good and know the ins and outs of the game. But i also don't think it's that expensive. For the WC there will be 7 gameweeks, each gameweek you can buy one bonus transfer with 100 credits.

      For me 100 credits is about $1 (australian dollars) so all up the world cup will cost me $7 AUD.

      I think in pounds it will be about £3-4 depending on which token package you buy. So not too expensive.

      I've actually made more money than i've spent on FiT because i won manager of the month one month in my first season which gave me £100.

      Around 40% of winners on FiT have not used the ET (emergency transfer) so there is still a very good chance of a week lye or gameround win, but your right if you are going for the Overall winner then there is going to be a need for ETs.

      They are 100 F/c (FiT Credits) per transfer, but you can purchase them in bundles so you can bring the cost tumbling down to around 46p per transfer, and you can also use your credits for other FiT comps, there is F/c comps where the top 5 in the gameweek can win a share of the credit pottI've done very well out of these, winning around 10,000 credits this season, at the moment there is a free to enter credit comp to hopefully get some free credits for your kitty. You can also play the quiz which again has a prize pot at the end.
      Or if your feeling confident challenge some for there credits in a head 2 head with winner taking all the credits.

    City’s Punishments in Full:

    - £49 million to be withheld from prize money over the next 3 seasons. This will be reduced to £16.3 million if the club complies with imposed spending and break-even limits.

    - Champions League squad to be cut to 21 for next season. This summer’s spending to be limited to £49 million this summer.

    - A salary freeze has been imposed on the Champions League squad for the next two seasons.

          And out of those home grown payers, they're likely to sell Richards, Lescott, Rodwell and even Milner is making noises that he wants to leave..

          Which leaves *drum roll*... Joe Hart, and 7 youth team players from England.

          13 first team players (plus Hart) is really not that many, they'd want to buy a few English players..

              This too, you'd think with only 13(ish) places for first team stars, do they bring all of their injury prone players? Say they bring Aguero and Silva, and they both get injured, they're left with 11 players maximum...

        With another season under Martinez, Everton might be more used to his style of play and they might work even better as a unit, therefore helping Baines and Coleman in both attacking returns as well as defensive returns...

        But Chelsea are replacing Cech with Courtois (probably), which is a massive improvement as Courtois has become one of the best goalkeepers in the world (if not the best). You could also say the same thing re Chelsea that another season for Cahill, Azpi, Matic etc under Mourinho might help them understand the style of defending better, and a striker for chelsea might actually take some pressure off the defenders by keeping the ball up the other end!

        Both teams look good for next season.

            True, I liked the look of Stones when he played this year though and he showed he could potentially grow into a decent defender beside Jags, they'll need Jags big time this season though.

          I think it was something like 14 of Chelsea's 18 cs came in the second half of the season so they should be on for well over 20cs if they come anywhere near that form for a full season.

          From memory in JM first spell in charge the averaged 22cs per season over three seasons with 20, 22 and 24 (not sure what order they came in).

    I'll stick this here too in case one of your DZers happens to know. For the FiT game:

    I know it has been touched on, but I'm still a little confused about the captaincy.

    1) If you captain a player, then transfer him out for another player after his game, does the player you transferred in earn double points as well? I think I've gathered no, but just thought I'd check.

    2) Can you pick a captain who doesn't start the week in your squad? Imagine I want to captain Messi GW1, but start the week with Suarez and transfer Messi in after Suarez's game. Can I captain Messi? And when would I be able to do that time wise?

    Depending on the answers to those, I'll probably have some follow up questions 😀

        Bony has more talent whereas Michu was more about positional sense and good finishing, I think that's why Michu failed a bit this season, he was playing deeper than Bony so he wasn't the one to tap in the goals on the line or get the header in the 6 yard box, Bony improving as a player (and Michu growing more into his role) should see Bony get 20+ this season, I'd expect a few more assists this season from Michu than in past seasons, he can't score as many as he did in his first season though and he'll probably still be over priced.

                  yeah I thought so, but in the Norwich games I saw highlights of this season his positional sense was pretty poor with him not picking up markers etc for goals conceded. Hopefully he still comes good tho.

      He said when he moved to City that he wanted to return to Barca before he retired if I recall correctly.

      I find it funny that he's using the "happiness" excuse and saying he's not respected..

      He's now won the BPL twice, City don't look like winning the CL any time soon, Barca are still a better side than City even if they're in decline, he's had his best season.. The only thing that deters me is that at Barca he was a CDM, like Busquets, so would he now go back and take Xavi / Cesc's place in the team?

      I think Yaya will leave, there's nothing left in England for him, but I'm not sure Barca is going to happen for him..

                  I will probably start the season with RVP in my team but I'll be doing so hesitantly if he's 13million... He'll be 31 in August and he has a history of injuries...

            I don't recall fpl ever anticipating anything except for new players.

            RVP scored a less than impressive 5.3ppg last season so I expect him to be somewhere between 11m-12m. Aguero came in at 11m last year and this is more or less what I am basing my guess on.

      Yaya at his peak? T

      he guy just turned 31 and his agent is agitating for one last big move the same as he did last summer. His agent knows if he stays one more season at city and goes looking for a move next summer at 32 he will be hugely less marketable.

      I think it is the most obvious land grab since Russia made a play for Crimea

          Again I don't think it was that much a peak season tbh, he scored some penalties and dfk's but all round I don't think he was that much more impressive than in previous seasons. If anything he looked lazy and disinterested when playing defensive midfield in some games I watched.

          Imo his season when Mancini first won the league was his most impressive in England when he was a real fighter in every game.

      Depends how many goals England score, I'd be tempted to go with England's penalty taker as I don't see them getting too many from play.

        Welbeck isn't likely to start so I wouldn't fancy him. It is probably between Rooney, Sturridge & Gerrard (as the penalty taker) and will probably only be over 3-5 games. Sturridge's record is better than Rooney's this year yet he sits second favourite.

      Yes, if you have 3 transfers and time them right you can be scoring points from up to 14 players. This is an added element that i like about FiT because it requires you to plan out the timing of your transfers.

        That's good because I've already worked out all 9 transfers for the group rounds, making sure I've got Suarez and Messi for round 1, Messi and Ronaldo for round 2 and Ronaldo, Klose, Fred and Lukaku for round 3.

    Apologies for being lazy but I'm on my laptop and don't have access to my iPad at the moment where I've downloaded the app.

    Can anyone spell out (in a way an idiot like me will understand) how many free transfers are available at each stage of this FiT World Cup jobby?

    So transfers available up until:

    1st set of Group matches: Unlimited
    2nd set of Group matches: ?
    3rd set of Group matches: ?
    Last 16: ?
    Quarter Finals: ?
    Semi Finals: ?
    Final: ?

    Also - does the 3rd/4th play off match count for points?

    Again, apologies for the laziness 🙂

      Straight after the unlimited transfers you get:

      GR2 3 Free transfers
      GR3 3 Free transfers

      At the end of GR3 until 10 minutes before the first match of GR4 kicks off - unlimited tranfers

      GR4 3 Free transfers
      GR5 3 Free transfers
      GR6 3 Free transfers
      GR7 3 Free transfers

      3rd/4th playoff DOES count towards points
