    Afternoon, everyone!
    So, here goes my team:

    Muslera Uzoho
    Danilo Meunier Varela Trippier Mojica
    J.Rod Paulinho Carrasco Cueva Aldawsari
    Cavani Werner Lukaku
    (with +0.5 in the bank)

    Concerns -
    1. Paulinho vs Eriksen - Paulinho seems to have a knack of scoring goals & Brasil could be more free-scoring than Denmark (Eriksen)
    2. If I do drop him though, makes more sense to include Jesus instead of the strikers - which one should go?

    Thoughts?

    Any advice greatly appreciated please...

    GK: Alisson (Uzoho)
    DEF: Meunier, Guerreiro, Kimmich, Pavard (Ashraf)
    MID: Eriksen, Coutinho, Mueller (C.Sanchez, Bentancur)
    FW: Jesus, Mbappe, Mane

    Too much brazil?

  3. Stupendous

    Smashed it. Done dusted and set.

    Schmeichel
    Alba Kimmich Meunier Pavard

    Schmeichel- uzoho
    Pavard - trippier - Kimmich - Pouraliganji - Meunier
    Eriksen - Ziyech - Rodriguez- Al-Dawsari
    Lukaku - Griezmann- Mitrovic

    Thanks

  5. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    a) Mojica + Pickford

    b) Trippier + El Kajoul

  6. TheProfesssor
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    No love for Oezil? Cheaper than Mueller ...

    1. Johnny Drama
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      That’s a differential

    ermahgerd I can see the content on this article

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years

      Stuff of dreams

  8. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Well then this looking like my final team:

    Muslera
    Danilo • Varela • Dalsgaard
    Eriksen • Ziyach • Cueva • Meza
    Lukaku • Cavani • Werner

    (Uzoho / J.Rodriguez / Meunier / Akanji)

    Think I’m settled on my attack for sure.
    Thoughts on the defence?

    Cheers! 🙂

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years

      Not sure about Akanji. Rest looks good.

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Getting Akanji for GW2-3. Is he not nailed?

        Honestly can’t see any other better 4.5m def than him.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Akanji an awesome shout. I am also getting him in for Gw2 & 3

  9. NUFCAndrew
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Good to go?

    El Kajoui Uzoho

    Meunier Trippier Danilo Pavard Varela

    James Eriksen Ziyach Ljajic Meza

    Lukaku Cavani Jesus

    BB1 & WC3.

    1. Firmino
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Very good and similar team to mine:

      El Kajoui Uzoho

      Meunier Trippier Danilo Pavard Varela

      James Eriksen Coutinho Belhanda Inui

      Lukaku Cavani Mbappe

  10. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Whod you pick?

    A: Jesus (SUI/CRC)
    B: Mbappe (AUS/PER)

    1. amit1964
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      a

    2. UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      I've gone Mbappe for round 1 and then I'll transfer to Jesus for round 2

      1. GoonerByron
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        This

    3. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      A

      Both likely to get subbed but I see a higher ceiling for Jesus and brazil should score more.

    4. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years

      A

    5. CloudSky
      • 9 Years

      Cheers lads, will give it some more thought.

    What time's the deadline? Website not working for me rn

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      kick off

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      3hours50mins from now.

  12. awgJose

    When are you planning to play your bench boost?

    1. UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Round if 16, extra budget and there should still be a few good cheapies

      1. mcrayeps
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        make sense

    2. GoonerByron
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      GW1

  13. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    How much time do we have for all of our tinkering?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      A little bit less than 4 hours.

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Not enough but at the same time, too much

  14. In Carrick we trust
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Hazard or coutinho ? Already have neymar,

  15. Catsandhats
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    So just to clarify,

    You can manually switch a player in your starting 11 who has only got you 2 points, for a player on your bench DURING the game week, as long as the player you are bringing on has NOT yet played?

    And can you do this with as many as you want?

  16. Madderegern
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Its decided. Pavard too risky imo. WHO instead?

    1. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      I've just logged on. Has anything changed regarding the Pavard situation? I'm using my BB so can't really take too much risk.

      1. Madderegern
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        I think its likely that he plays first match, but too unlikely for my taste if he plays second.

  17. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Team done.

    Almuaiouf - Uzoho
    Meunier - Cahill - Pavard - Varela - Sabaly
    Mueller - J Rod - Eriksen - Ljajic - Belhanda
    Lukaku - Cavani - Jesus

    Would love Trippier over Cahill but just can't find the 0.5m.

    GW 2 - Lukaku + Mueller + Belhanda ➡ Kane + Isco + Layun
    GW 3 - WC
    GW 4 - BB (As budget will be 105m and would mean a better bench)
    GW 5 - Maximum captain

    Sorted? 😉 🙂

    1. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Looks good. I have similar plans about the chips.

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      -8 to get out Lukaku against Tunisia?

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Surprised

      2. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        May keep Belhanda fwiw.

        Kane and Isco in. Don't fancy Lukaku vs a ultra defensive Tunisia team.

    3. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Rd 4 means knockouts. Extra time. Stronger teams. BB CS's non existent.

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Hmmmm I hadn't taken that into account

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          you should.

          1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 days ago

            I will.

              Hey Flynny. Ok, you?

                Hah! Sorry I got called away.

                Back fit thanks.

      2. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Should still be plenty of easy fixtures to choose defensive assets from. The extra budget will give me an extra big hitter who could well be 10+ points worth. Willing to take the gamble.

    4. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      A -8 seems somewhat overkill considering how short the format is

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Look ^. May just do a -4.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          -4 seems like overkill tbh 😉

          1. pundit of punts

            😯

  18. gebinsky

    Please explain why everyone is taking Meza for the first round? Is there any evidence that he will be in the start for 1st round?

    1. FC Hakkebøf

    B. Cavani + Eriksen/Pogba/Jrod

  20. Kook kook kooki

    Lukaku vs Hazard
    Werner vs Jesus?

    1. mcrayeps
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Lukaku
      Werner

      1. Kook kook kooki
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        I'm inching towards Brasil outscoring Germany and thus Jesus getting more points than Werner, what say?

  21. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Any sudden news about any of the following players:

    Pickford, Trippier, Sidibe, Marcelo, Hector, Hakimi, Meunier, Eriksen, JRod, Neymar, Lewandowski, Cavani, Lukaku

    Thanks guys!!!

    1. Madderegern
      • 12 Years

      Eriksen just had a baby

  22. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Who do you reckon will score more points in round 1?

    A) D. Silva classified as midfielder (Portugal)
    B) Dzagoev/Golovin (Saudi Arabia, Egypt)

    Note: Russia have a dgw in my domestic fantasy league

  23. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years

    Meza or Lo Celso?

  24. Sweetboi

    a) Mojica + Muller + Cavani

    b) Trippier + Isco + Werner

    Rate this team, should I beef up my bench a bit?

    Navas uzoho
    Marcelo trippier kolarov hegazi hakimi
    Coutinho carrasco ljajic Sanchez Hamed
    Messi Neymar lewandowski

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      You could switch Marcelo for Danilo and give yourself 1.0

      1. The Red Devil
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Rest of it? Bench is decent enough?

  26. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Muslera
    Pavard - Danilo - Meunier -Trippier
    Isco - Rodriguez - Carrasco
    Messi - Guedes - Lewandowski
    (Uzoho - Varela - Meza - Bentancur)

    Have 1.0 itb, any ideas on upgrades?

  27. jam sandwich

    RMT

    Muslera - Ozoho
    Kimmich - Meunier - Danilo - Varela - Sabaly
    J Rod - Coutinho - Carrasco - Belhanda - Aldawsari
    Lukaki - Cavani - Werner

  28. aad

    8 years, 3 days ago

    Ludwig Augustinsson seems like a decent option, with his team playing against South Korea, and had 4 assists during the qualifiers. Thoughts?

  29. Maddi Son

    Do you think it's worth finding an extra 0.5 to upgrade Cueva to Carrasco?
