    I've got no WC left, so I'd appreciate some opinions, lads:

    A) Lloris / DDG*******
    Hector / Meunier / Koscielny / Rami******* / Srna*******
    Kroos / Draxler / Hazard / Payet / Perisic*******
    Bale / Griezmann / Lukaku

    B) Lloris / DDG*******
    Koscielny / Hector / Meunier / Giaccherini / Rami*******
    Kroos / Draxler / Payet / Hazard / Perisic*******
    Bale / Griezmann / Milik

    C) Lloris / DDG*******
    Koscielny / Hector / Meunier / Giaccherini / Rami*******
    Kroos / Draxler / Payet / Hazard / Blaszczykowski
    Bale / Müller / Milik

    which one would you pick? it's risky going with only 11 or 12 players, but I relly fancy Griezmann.

    On wildcard, can you make additional transfers after confirming your team like in FPL?

    Hiya..think I'm going to bank on France progressing and keep Rami for the SFs so I can make an offensive sub instead of a defensive one. I have 3 players not going through: DDG, Dier, Perisic and tempted to move them plus Ramsey to Patricio/Fabianski, Guerreiro, KDB, Draxler

    rest of team:
    Hennessey
    Hector - Meunier - Jedrzejczyk - Rami
    Hazard - Ozil - Payet
    Muller - Bale - Milik

    Thoughts?

        1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 22 days ago

          I'd look to get either Lloris or Neuer then.

            • 12 Years
            10 years, 22 days ago

            With your line of thinking, considering I already have Hector and Rami, wouldn't it make more sense to get Gigi seeing as I have no Italy?

            1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 22 days ago

              My line of thinking is: get the keeper from the team which you think will progress to the final, as it saves future transfers.
              I think Germany will win vs Italy.

    3. sirmorbach
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      we're in a very similar situtation, mate. check my current team:

      DE GEA / Lloris

      Hector / Meunier / Koscielny / RAMI / SRNA
      Kroos / Hazard / Payet / ALLI / PERISIC
      Milik / Bale / Müller

      I've been thinking about:

      A) Lloris / DDG*******
      Hector / Meunier / Koscielny / Rami******* / Srna*******
      Kroos / Draxler / Hazard / Payet / Perisic*******
      Bale / Griezmann / Lukaku

      B) Lloris / DDG*******
      Koscielny / Hector / Meunier / Giaccherini / Rami*******
      Kroos / Draxler / Payet / Hazard / Perisic*******
      Bale / Griezmann / Milik

      C) Lloris / DDG*******
      Koscielny / Hector / Meunier / Giaccherini / Rami*******
      Kroos / Draxler / Payet / Hazard / Blaszczykowski
      Bale / Müller / Milik

      I like your ideas for your team. you've got good options there.

  4. Rowse
    • 16 Years

    I have just done my potential wild card team and compared it to my 4 free transfers team. My 4 captain choices are the same, and there are only 3 different players in total.

    The WC team is better though, but more unbalanced in that if Belgium or France lose I'll have a lot more players not in the next round!

    So my thoughts are to keep my WC for the semi-finals.

    But my original team was planned with a GD3 WC in mind. As rotation wasn't as much of a problem as everyone thought, I got through it, and saved my WC for this week. Now I'm considering not playing it again.

    I'm worried that I might go through the whole tournament without playing it, and I feel like that would be a waste. But I don't want to play it for the sake of it as my team is good.

    Is anyone else in the same situation? We should get a 20 point bonus if you don't play your WC!

    1. themilkyjoe
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Definitely save it if you don't need it, you could easily end up needing it for the semis or final

  5. conew
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Hennessey DE GEA
    Hector Meunier Jed RAMI DIER
    De Bruyne Payet Kross Ramsey PERISIC
    Müller Bale Girou

    Should I use the WC or just:

    De Gea to rui Patricio
    Rami to Mangala
    Dier to Guerrerio
    Perisic to Hazard

    1. Johnny Drama
      • 10 Years

      Use your FTs instead!

  6. 1justlookin

    need some help please. Is it worth WC this?

    neuer. McGovern
    hector. Meunier. Gunter. Rami. Dier.
    Hazard. Payet. Ramsey. Alli. Perisic
    Lukaku. Bale. Muller.

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years

      rami,dier,alli,perisic --> giaccherini,mangala,draxler,kuba save WC

  7. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Choose one:

    A) Lloris, Guerrero, Ramsey, Kroos, Bale - save WC
    B) Lloris, Guerrero, Ramsey, Hazard, Gomez - on WC
    C) Rui, Jędrzejczyk, Kroos, Hazard, Lukaku - on WC

    s Guerreiro really likely to play against Poland?

    Is Draxler likely to play against Italy?

    Whats Naingollan stats like? Better punt than Witsel?

  9. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Is there any point saving your WC when you have 6 free transfers for the semi's?

    1. Rowse
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      See my post above! I don't know the answer! Hopefully someone else does

      1. conew
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        it's tricky. France and portugal can losse to Poland an Island. Belgium in elimination against Wal's 0-0 and lose 0,-1. Ger vs italy you hav to flip a coin

  10. rjcv177
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 22 days ago

    Drop 40 pts on last "WC". conclusion...i suck at WC

    Can u upgrade this for my last chance of $ML

    Courtois, Lloris
    Guerreiro, Meunier, Hector, Giacherini, Mangala
    Hazard, Naingolan, Ozil, Payet, Matuidi
    CR, Lukaku, Gomez

    Thkx in advance

    1. Critical Observer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      Is Dembele still dead?

      Judging by how bad Belgium's central midfield has been, I'd say Nainggolan SHOULD be in danger of losing his place.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Our middfield hasn't been bad?

        1. Critical Observer
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 22 days ago

          Witsel and Nainggolan seem to be all at sea regarding their respective roles when defending; Ramsey and Bale will go to town on them if that huge gap between midfield and defense isn't effectively shut down. Hungary were gash but still got several chances precisely by playing the ball in to the void in front of the defensive line.

          Dembele would be an obvious solution to this problem.

      Pogba isn't for sale, for any price. Juve have said multiple times he's not leaving.

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        We'll see. I think he's off and it's just a matter of which club.

        I just hope if United does miss out (which wouldn't be surprising) that we can entice Kroos to join.

        1. I Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 22 days ago

          What would make you think that? He's perfectly happy in a successful team and Juve have no reason to sell whatsoever. I'll be very surprised if Pogba isn't still playing for us next season. They're building a project to win the Champions League and Pogba is integral to it.

          1. Zasa
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 22 days ago

            Yeah, this pretty much. Extremely doubtful Pogba leaves, Alves was a great coup btw.

            Who is Pjanic replacing?

            1. I Member
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 22 days ago

              Marchisio might not play again until 2017, Khedira is injury prone, Padoin has left, and Pereyra/Asamoah/Sturaro could leave too.

              Pjanic was signed to strengthen the squad though, not necessarily replace someone. We've had great success with the 3-5-2 but Allegri wants a player who can allow us to play 4-3-1-2 as well (the system that got us to the CL final two years ago). Pjanic is that guy.

              Buffon
              Alves - Bonucci - Chiellini - Sandro
              Khedira - Marchisio - Pogba
              Pjanic
              Dybala - Mandzukic

                Is there any substance to Juve signing Alexis Sanchez?

                  10 years, 22 days ago

                  We're probably interested but I don't consider it likely at all. Would be a dream, similar to United signing Pogba. 😉

        Not claiming he is or that what i have said is true as we don't know at this time for sure... what i would bet my house on is United throwing their hat in the ring if they believe a player of that quality was available..

        1. I Member

    Hi folks.

    I've used my W/C and here is my team...

    Hennessey / Lloris
    Rami / DIER / Muen / Hector / Jed
    KDB / Payet / Kroos / Ramsey / PERISIC
    Bale / Ronaldo / Luk

    I obv have to get rid of Dier and Per.
    I'd quite like Ronaldo for Luk but then need to clear funds with final FT - would you...

    A) drop Rami for Guerr just to get points
    B) drop Jed for Guerr and keep Rami for next round

    ??

    1. Swans3aJ4ck
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 22 days ago

      I should say... I would get Giac for Dier / Drax for Per

      I went with Neuer, I expect Germany to go further into the tournament so....

      1. LucasD
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 22 days ago

        Thanks, I'm thinking the same. Both good options, only problem is if Germany get knocked out, I'll have to transfer 4 players out. I will wait and make my mind up later on.

    2. Madderegern

    Current team with WC activated and 18.7 ITB. Any ideas to start off the change in my team. Looking to stock up on French and maybe introduce some Portugal players in place of Welsh. Any ideas to get started?

    De Bruyne / Hazard / Payet / Pogba / (Kroos)
