As some of you may already know, the Sky Sports Fantasy Football game for 2014/15 opened its doors earlier today. With a lull in the World Cup action, Fantasy managers are afforded our first chance to dabble in domestic issues as we tentatively cobble together our initial teams for the season ahead:

The Sky Sports game is one that we’ve covered in the past, with our Members area including the relevant bonus point recipients across the positions.

After winning the Best League for each of the last couple of campaigns, we’re looking forward to defending our title once again. The winner of last season’s Scout League picked up £1,000 for their achievements and we’re hoping to offer prizes for whoever finishes at the summit once again.

We’ll be re-starting our official league soon and will be rolling out a series of articles over the next couple of weeks, looking at the Player List and analysing the best tactical approaches. Regular contributor d1sable will be on board once again to give his hints and tips every Friday afternoon – having finished inside the top 10 last year, he’s clearly a man worth listening to.

Messi, Robben, Neymar

Pretty similar to everyone, except Debuchy and lots don't have Neymar here either.. might try a punt on Valbuena captain first game too.

Criticize please...

Maccies

Navas

Zapata, Luiz, Amero, Blind, De Vrij

J'rod, Kroos, Hazard, De Bruyne, (Wijnaldum)

Muller then Guiterriez if muller fails then lukaku if that fails, leaving guiterriez and lukaku also possible to repalce first 3 defenders or first 2 mids as option aswell

I have 5.5m budget left.. not so keen on dutch or costa-rican attackers as it's the last game, might spend it all on campbell as a backup but i don't think it will be needed or maybe depay.. or should i spend it on another top mid perhaps pogba...

      i dont think so, but he tends to get minutes and plays well for what he gets. I would be finding room for robben, against the weakest side left he's sure to play well and has looked sharp all tournament.

@Evs, Giggs Boson, 12th Man

What strategy are you using for the Sun game transfers?

I am protecting a lead in my ML but I'm torn between going all-in with the Dutch or spreading risk and balancing out my defence.

I cannot decide its just too tough. Are you winning your MLs and if so what are you doing?

Navas x x
Zapata, Fernandez, Basanta, Van Buyten (Gonzalez, Fridge and Blind)
Lahm, Valbuena, J Rod, Curadrado, Gago (x x)
Neymar (Messi, Robben x x)

Heard the news about Navas, Fernandez and Gago but I think they'll all start? Also anyone else tempted to not have J Rod and Neymar this round? J rod is bound to slow down eventually (5 goals in 4) and Neymar won't be 100%.

      Yeah, but JRod has double the amount of points that Sneijder has. Plus, there'll probably be plenty of goals in the Brazil game, so JRod should be in there, surely. I think you can get players that will beat Sneijder's points total for much cheaper and who play earlier on, anyway. If you want to take a punt, then I'd take one earlier in the round, personally.

    Definitely the thing is to use your limited transfers sparingly Zep. I play a number of limited transfer games and have come to expect half of all those available to go in injuries or players not getting game time/ long suspensions in the second half of the season due to 2 or 3 red cards.
    So only 50% available to improve your team with form players and the occasional extra captain near the end of the year.

  From last page Evs
  
  German press conference with Joachim Löw and Toni Kroos:
  
  Löw: "Almost a third of our players complained of having a sore throat. But none of them had a fever overnight and all of them were able to train today. Hope that none of them take a turn for the worse before tomorrow."
  
  - "Schweinsteiger and Khedira have recovered well. I think that they'll be at full strength tomorrow."
  
  - "Mats Hummels will definitely be able to play."
  
  - "There have been discussions about where Lahm should play ever since I've been involved with the national team. It's not very helpful. There are decisions that have been taken, but not yet concretised. You'll find out tomorrow where he plays."
  
  - "It's not true that Toni Kroos has agreed terms with Real Madrid. He's not had any personal contact with the club. If anything happens, then it would be after the World Cup."
  
  Toni Kroos: "I can't help you very much with the Real Madrid reports. I can't comment on every newspaper report. Nothing has been decided, nor will it be decided during the World Cup."

  I'm top of my work mini league (out of around 50 teams) so I'm being cautious. I will probably keep my attacking force as it is:
  
  Muller Robben JRod
  Messi Neymar RVP
  
  I don't want to risk loading up on a team only for them to leave the competition. At least this way I keep the main strikers from the best teams. Goals are the main currency in the Sun game so I should get a decent share of the spoils regardless of who goes through. (Unless they're France/Belgium/CR)
