Here’s our regular update on the competition, featuring a look at our friendlies that took place over Gameweek 4, the  Live Scorecast and a look ahead to the start of the tournament itself when Matchday 1 kicks off this weekend. Please use this article for all tournament chat.

Friendlies

Over Gameweek 4 players got a taste of the Hockey World Cup team format with the friendlies being held prior to the real games.

The final results have been updated in the Cup spreadsheet

Live ScoreCast

Pratik has now launched the Live ScoreCast Tool, which lets you view the scores in real time as the Premier League games are on. So as Chelsea’s Diego Costa bangs in a goal and his four FPL points are added you will now be able to watch your hockey team’s scores rocket. Remember to bookmark this link.

Update on TFF’s Quiz

If you haven’t checked out The Fantasy Freak’s new quiz initiative to further fuel the team spirit in this arena, do so now – TFF’s Quizzes are back with a twist. He conducted a couple of quizzes over the week and here is what the Hockey World Cup leader board looks like:

NZ 2

Rest of the World 1

Well played to I’m the Juan and Arvin who played a vital part in their country’s victory.

Matchday 1

Gameweek 5 will see the commencement of the Hockey World Cup with some really crunch fixtures:

Group A

Australia vs Malaysia

Belgium vs India

England vs Spain

Group B

Germany vs South Africa

Netherlands vs Argentina

New Zealand vs South Korea

Lineup Submission

All managers are requested to email me their four substitutes and their FPL IDs before the deadline of Friday, 19 Sep, 2359 BST. In case he or she  fails to do so, the autosubs will be the last four players on the Squads Page.

Managers may also be likely to post any pressers on this article here. So be on the watch for latest team news, especially from your enemies. As previously, please keep all the match day banter on this thread.

It’s time – Let the games begin!

PS – If any of those taking part are keen to pen a roundup or preview of matchdays, let me know and we can include them in future matchday threads too.

Also disappointed I took the captaincy off Welbeck but hey at least that was a more logical decision. Heres hoping Costa can redeems the faith. 대한민국 화이팅!!

        You've hit all your marks, that Burnley CS was a real boost, Liverpool and Man U's defence clearly much worse 🙂

    UPDATED DIFFERENTIALS

    Netherlands

    Terry x2, Baines x1
    Fabregas x3, Silva x1
    Naismith x3 (or +7pts if no Naismith)

    Argentina (+35pts)

    Ivanovic x1, Cahill x1
    Hazard x2
    Costa x1

    We need Naismith to come on and do something special, I think. Or maybe Cesc can save us...

      Fair play guys. We were never in it after yesterday, with our defenders letting us down.

    Belgium-India and England-Spain going down to the wire.

    Not sure how teams will eventually stand after bonus and autosubs.

    The Dutch gave their best and it was a good match. Well played Netherlands 🙂

    To the rest of our opponents, fear the underdogs 😎
