For the love for football and celebration to World Cup finally starting tomorrow I decided to make my latest iteration a special one! All of my players are from different country! Please tell me if you have any suggestions to this team:
El Kajoui | Uzoho
Meunier | Trippier | Kolarov | Tagliafico | Kurdiashov
Muller | JRod | Coutinho | Eriksen | Al-Dawsari
Cavani | Mbappe | Sarr
Happy best time in every 4 years to everyone!
It starts today
I can see you love football
Touché
Nice concept, could win
Sarr meh pick
For his price, he has nice potential to be breakout player of the World Cup. Missing third top tier Forward hurts tho.
Any improvement ideas for my team? 0 itb
Muslera
Kimmich Meunier Varela Pavard
Mueller Ziyach Carrasco
Cavani Griezmann Jesus
Uzoho JRod C.Sanchez Sabaly
G2G imo
I'd go Mbappe and upgrade midfield
Soooooo Godin over Gimenez
Gimenez scored recently 🙂
actually, I had G-Man over God-in
Would you take Messi for GW1 and use free transfer to get Neymar for GW2 or just have Neymar for both rounds?
I see the upside.
But what if you need to replace another player?
That's the problem but could still get 11 playing players
limits your choices, but could prove to be a very nice gamble.
Neymar both rounds
Planned transfers are tricky
Question for those who played Maccie D`s fantasy before. If I want to play my wildcard after round 1 do I have to do it on Tuesday after Poland's game but before Russia ?
I know I could probably find it somewhere in rules but I am on kids duty today so time is at the premium.
Pretty sure transfers after this afternoon’s deadline will straight away count for round 2
Like FPL you can pull the trigger right after the previous gameweek starts
Thank You Gents !
I need to shave . 5 m from my team
A Mojica to Sabaly
B Meunier to Trippier (or another 5.5 m defender)
A
A
Trippier and Miranda
or
Kimmich and Varela
?
Kimmich and Varela
i have a simmilar dillema trippier and godin, or kimmich varela
Riscky Business:
I've got Al-Dawsari, so I won't go Meza for Belhanda.
I've got Varela and Pavard.
Should I replace Pavard for Mojica or Dalsgaard?
- Pavard should start GW1, but after that no one knows.
- Mojica should start, but plays in the last day, so I won't be able to replace him
- Dalsgaard might start too, but I'm not sure of the upside...
Any advice? Tkx
Why you go for Meza?
Are you sure that he'll start?
I won't go for Meza to avoid the risk of having too many players that could start/not start.
That's whay I don't know if should keep Pavard or bring Mojica/Dalsgaard.
1 Mbappe
or
2 Jesus
Jesus
My plan is to WC after the first round. Would it be smart to use bench boost the first round with this team??
Olssen - Uzoho
Munier - Tagliafico - Varela - Kutepov - Mojica
James - Eriksen - Lingard - Ziyech - Meza
Lukaku - Mbappe - Jesus
Not a bad shout
Round 1 only: Ziyech or Tadic?
Money no issue
Ziyech
Only Round1, Ziyech imo.
Thanks guys
I'm happy, except for one thing - leaving out Lewandowski. His record is absolutely ridiculous. Lukaku, Jesus, Cavani works better for me captaincy-wise and are also all great options, but man, I really want Lewa...
Planning to get Lewandowski for GW3 when the other big strikers are through and possibly rotated. I'm sure he'll keep that in mind and save the goals.
That would be kind of him 😛
I know this feeling.
Please help
Which one?
Jesus vs swiss
Mertens vs panama
Is Mertens guaranteed to start? Good option if so
100% starting
i've gone mertens
Thanks
Mertens
Suarez gonna punish the Cavani sheep!
Statistically, from qualifying, Cavani is worth it over Suarez - it's really going to be down to chance at this point who outperforms the other. I'm definitely not a sheep - Cavani's stats and fixtures are brilliant and he's a great buy.
Jesus vs Swiss or Mbappe vs Aus?
baps

My advice would be to not post the exact same thing twice on the same page.
Not sure what your point is with the Belhanda/Meza statement. I have Belhanda over Meza currently.
Pavard isn’t safe unless you plan to WC for round 2. That being said, he is a safer option for round 1 only than Mojica and Dalsgaard. Dalsgaard seems nailed and plays Australia round 2, so there’s some upside there.
tkx. I apologise for the repeated post. Won't happen again.
The Belhanda/Meza means that in order to avoid further risk, I won't go with Meza beacause he is not a regular starter in Argentina.
Tkx for the advice on the defenders.
Gut says france 1-1
Matuidi goal.
Can;t wait to Wc my lot.
Me 2
anyone doubling up Lukaku and Mertens?
Against PAN really tempting me now..
Jesus to Mertens yay or nay?
Maybe - personally like Jesus to much as an individual option.
a) Ziyech
or
b) Milinkovic-Savic
Please can someone confirm my team is okay so I can get on with my actual day job;
Almuaiouf - Uzoho
Meunier - Granqvist - Varela - Mojica - Sabaly
Muller - James - Willian - Cueva - Meza
Cavani - Greizmann - Lukaku
Obviously budget keepers, but I actually slightly favour Almuaiouf (Saudis vs Egypt) than the El Kajoui against Spain in GW3.
I'll start both Meza and Cueva and sub one of them out for James before COL play.
3 - 4 - 3 system.
Anything drastically wrong?
nothing, GTG 🙂
Thank you, back to work then, well until the opening ceremony in a couple of hours.
All ok - as good as any
Cheers
Looks good, not too sure about James
why?
Thanks,
Why unsure on James, seems integral to this Columbian team
Hiw does it look? BB1
Muslera pickford
Meunier danilo trippier varela pavard
Eriksen james ljajic nandez meza
Lukaku mbappe mertens
Could swap mertens and ljajic to jesus and carrasco but love my team this way
Thoughts?
quite balanced for BB1
Thank you
Imo there are better options than Mbappe and Mertens. I get that their first fixtures are brilliant, and so understand your choices, but Jesus, Cavani, Lewandowski and Werner are probably gonna score more goals over the group stages, based on goal involvement rates
0.5 to spend, any ideas? Verela to Godin or Llajic over Cueva?
Muslera, Uzoho
Danilo, Varela, Pavard, Meunier, Dalsgaard
Erikson, JRod, Meza, Ziyach, Cueva
Cavani, Jesus, Lukaku
Godin i guess
Thank you
Godin, nice team btw. Similiar to mine
In the McDonalds game it states that 'Tactical changes can be made before June 14 2018,17:00 (CET)'.
The Russia v Saudi Arabia game starts at 16:00 (CET), so can we still make tactical changes once this game has started?
Any suggestions?
Caballero
Danilo ⚫ Kimmich ⚫ Godin ⚫ Meunier
James ⚫ Meza ⚫ Coutinho
Messi ⚫ Cavani ⚫ Jesus
Bench: Uzoho ⚫ Pavard ⚫ S.Sane ⚫ C.Sanchez
Can't fault nothing, but Caballero might be a "trap".
Oh, I've just noticed, both your keepers play in the same day!
Try Schmeichel "Jr." instead of Caballero
Oh good point! Thanks!
But I switched Godin and Caballero to Muslera and Tagliafico
How does it look? G2G?
Uzoho - Pickford
Kimmich - Trippier - Meunier - Varela - Danilo
Eriksen - James - Meza - Belhanda - Nandez
Cavani - Jesus - Lukaku
GW1 punt (playing fantasy game in Norway)
A: Kramaric (vs Nigeria)
B: Belhanda (vs Iran)
C: Meza (vs Iceland)
D: Boutaib (vs Iran)
? 🙂
the player prices will fluctuate (rise and drop) or nope after Round 1?
After group
I think I've decided on:
Muslera - Uzoho
Danilo - Varela - Kimmich - Meunier - Dalsgaard
Eriksen - James - Carrasco - Aldawsari - Meza
Jesus - Werner - Lukaku
Some concerns:
- No France. I can swap Werner for Griezmann but then Carrasco has to go for a 6m or less mid.
- 3 Belgium. I do think their current form and easy 2 matchups in Panama and Tunesia makes it a valid pick.
- Not too convinced about Meza.
agree on Meza. Everything else top notch imo
