The most popular World Cup Fantasy asset in Poland v Colombia won’t actually feature in the match.

That’s because Carlos Sanchez (£4.5m), owned by 14.5 percent of managers, will miss Gameround 2 due to suspension.

The Colombian midfielder was sent off for a hand-ball against Japan, conceding a penalty in the process.

2014’s break-out star James Rodriguez (£9.0m) still has 11.5 percent backing despite missing out on a starting place in Gameround 1 due to injury.

For Poland, their go-to man is Robert Lewandowksi (£9.5m), with 7.2 percent ownership.

Apart from Wojciech Szczesny (£5.0m), no other player in Poland’s ranks has more than 3.1 percent ownership.

          Well done. Wouldn't want this format for FPL. Rewarding managers for replacing low scores and needing to be around for early lineups etc.

          1. Powell
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            It would be easy for me to disagree (because I’m doing well)... but I agree. I’m terrified of the FPL game changing. Aside from the FH chip being too strong, FPL is perfect.

        I heard Hazard was being rested 😉

  4. Assisting the assister
    • 10 Years

    How many non-players justify a WC?

    I think I have Varela, Danilo and Rom out. Pull-t trigger?

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      This!

      1. travis45

        Mate go read the rules then call others comments bs 🙂

    2. Cilly Bonnolly

      Is Varela out too? F**k.

    3. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      What’s wrong with Varela?

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Website says leaked he won’t start

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Yup

    5. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      You may want to change other players too.

    6. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      I think they are all at risk. My Belhanda, Nandez and Cueva midfield trio has been relatively underwhelming. I had high hopes

    7. ducksfly2gether
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Are they all for sure out? I don’t think so. Source?

  5. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Best choice up to 5.5 to replace Danilo for the final round of group games? Already got Varela, Hector, Kimmich and Meunier.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Varela very unlikely to play but to answer your question Swiss defender

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        Yeah, just heard about Varela. Got Lukaku too who could also be a doubt. Really don't want to use my wildcard just yet though.. Bugger.

        1. Js31
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          why not use your wildcard now? you get unlimited trasnsfers before last 16 anyway

          1. Cilly Bonnolly
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            Because you only get three transfers before the quarter finals. Good chance that could be nowhere near enough.

    2. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      R.Rod, Carvajal or Guerreiro

  6. Gringo Kid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Apart of Inui, who is the best 4.5 mid?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      Gazinhski. You'll know if he's playing before the deadline.

      Inui is only 4.5m mid that's not a 2 point man.

    Who to downgrade to create 1m?

    a) Kimmich to Rudiger
    b) R.Rodriguez to 4.5 (Akanji)
    c) Guerreiro to 4.5 (Advincula

        2. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years

          Improving it would just be turning it into my WC team. It's a good team, 7 is good.

          No Pavard. CR7 over Messi. Someone else over Reus for starters...

      England have more qualified docs

      He is not a defender..?

    4. Powell

      Winning the group is a huge bonus, so I think Uruguay will go for it

    5. ducksfly2gether
      • 10 Years

      Is he injured? I don’t think so.

  12. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Been out all day.

    Not a betting man, but if I was I’d have stuck my mortgage on a Kane hattrick today. Panama would struggle to get out of League One.

    Quite why the hell FIFA want to put 48 teams in the Qatar World Cup is truly beyond me. But then, why would you want to play it in Qatar anyway? (We know the answer to that one).

    Not an England fan but pleased for them, Kane seems like a genuinely nice, down to earth guy and no real Prima Donnas in this team like previous incarnations.

    1. travis45
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      I can came at least 16 more teams not in this world cup that would have given England a decent game

      The problem is the qualification process not the number of teams

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        I can name 24 Championship teams for a start. Several League 1 ones too.

        It’s like putting Plymouth Argyle and Rotherham United in the Champions League knockout rounds and being surprised when Barca and Real Madrid hammer them.

        1. travis45
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 22 days ago

          Are u saying we should have a 10 team world cup then? Because real and barca would pretty much hammer all but maybe 10 teams in a eucl knock out

          1. Nomar
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 22 days ago

            No, the allocation of spaces needs to be reviewed.

            Pretty much everyone knows this.

                  And yet you're not an England fan? Lol maybe try supporting your national team then talk about who should play in world cups. I'd sacrifice so much to my country south Africa in a world Cup again

                      @pumpkinhead

                      Sure, but he's obviously treating a world Cup like some club football tourney that nobody remembers in a few years. His lack of support for his naional team is the reason why he won't understand why more teams need to be in the world cup

                      1. UshFPL
                        • 9 Years
                        8 years, 22 days ago

                        I support my national team and have never seen them in a World Cup. I can still see why there shouldn't be more teams

                      2. Nomar
                        • 16 Years
                        8 years, 22 days ago

                        Not even close.

                        It annoys me to see bad teams in what’s supposed to be a festival of football between the best teams on the planet.

                        This isn’t Panama or Saudi Arabia’s fault, it’s FIFA’s and we know how rotten and corrupt they’ve been.

                        My analogy was to highlight the huge gulf in class between teams like Panama and Saudi and the fact that you wouldn’t put teams on their level in the Champions League so why put them in the best football tournament in the world?

                        Hopefully this makes some sense to you now?

                        • 17 Years
                        8 years, 22 days ago

                        Mmm I'm not sure where I stand on that. After suffering with my team not making it I now understand the pain of not having your team in it. Something I've never had until this year. On the other hand I don't really want to see teams like Panama or Saudi in it either. All they do if give the teams who draw them a huge advantage. I would like to see this seeding thing scrapped if anything. That would give the lesser teams ( pot D teams) a bigger chance of having a tournament to remember

                    What?

                    I am an England fan. My family are not into football and my parents invited us all around for lunch so I only saw the second half. Family is more important.

                      I'm guessing your family don't have an opinion then about how many teams should be in the team world cup too though

                    Just because you want to see your country in a World Cup doesn't mean the places should be increased. I'd love to see Ireland in a World Cup but I can still understand that increased teams in the tournament will dilute the quality

            USA made it into the last 16 of previous two world cups. Failed to qualify for this one due to very dodgy refereeing but still miles better than Panama

              Even Honduras finished ahead of USA but got knocked out by Australia.
              They lost twice to Costa Rica, lost their decider with Trinidad and Tobago 2-1, drew with Panama and Honduras away. Only form was at home.

  23. Original Sin
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 22 days ago

    Some thoughts......
    I guess its better to choose the best 3 strikers irrespective of their prices due to the following reasons:
    1) Only the strikers have been seen to be scoring more than 10 points
    2) Due to multiple captaincy options, in most cases u would not miss the best performing forward points (as captain).
    3) Mid and defender points have been very unpredictable. No midfielder has scored more than 10 points as yet. so better to choose 2 premium MIDs among Coutinho/Modric/Shaq/Eriksen and 3 value MIDs among INIU/Russians/Jedinak to compensate for the 3 premium forwards.
    4) i do not see any point in choosing 6m or 6.5m defenders. From what we have seen so far, chances of bigger teams (like germany/spain/belgium) conceding goals are similar to the mid-level teams (such as Mexico, swiss, uruguay etc). so at least 2 should be 4.5m, 1 or 2 should be 5m and at best 1 can be 5.5m.
    5) dont see any point spending at best 9.5 for both (ideally 9m, 1X 4m and 1X5m)

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      1) Kolarov, Golovin, Granqvist, Stones
      2) The guys above all play on different days.
      3) Uruguay, Russia, Eriksen and Coutinho disagree
      4) Agreed.
      5) you are not making sense here.

      1. Original Sin
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 22 days ago

        1. I meant the expected ones, those ones were unpredictable.
        3. did not understand what u said. do u disagree on erkisen and coutinho? anyways do u agree with choosing 2 premium MIDs instead of 3?
        5. LOL yes, i just read that sentence and it does not make much sense to me as well. "at best" should be replaced with "more than" 🙂

    2. noahzark22
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 22 days ago

      I'm using this thought process for my 3rd game Wild Card and moving forward. I'm going a bit further and picking out cheap (> 5.0) Egypt, Tunisia, and Suiss players in hopes of a clean sheet and spend more money on forwards and mids.
