Join Draft Kings for England v Belgium World Cup Showdown

A

A

Gotta be A

Unanimous response 🙂

Coutinho

Kimmich

Couts

Kimmi

Might follow you there. But I have Sommer & Akanji too.

Me too!

Have him captain too, but having James as back up tomorrow helps!

Count me in.

Dont you guys feel Kimmi(c)h has lesser downside with similar upside?

Cout.

Couts

Reus, logic would say.

He’s not that bad an option really. Would say he’s on par with every attacker playing today.

Serbia are decent and will want to try and qualify. I'm going Kimmich.

E isn't playing today

Personally going Kimmich!
Rodriguez has a great chance of hauling, if I owned him i'd be going there.

same rival as 15 mins ago or another rival?

I have Messi on 5 points and pretty much same options as you (Kimmich rather than Coutinho). I'm twisting for sure.

I'd say Akanji because of price.

Schar 40/7 caps/goals for national team, great for defender, on every free kick ball goes to him.
Worth a punt.

If I only had Kimmich, Couts and Kane, it'd definitely be Couts captain.

That convinced me to cap RR. Have exactly the same option for captain as you for today with James to fall back on.

You said above that you don't have Kimmich?

RR sized sofa for me

Shaqiri captain if I have him

I wouldn't but good luck

I was on the same wavelength but now I'm reconsidering.

We saw how Denmark - France played out. Games where there is less at stake can peter out into boring 0-0s. Switzerland have little incentive to win just to not lose. I don't see R. Rod being anywhere near as offensive, just conservative and solid in possession.

Haven't seen Kroos in many teams. He's a great option today. But so are the rest! I'm going RR.

I have C, D and E and cannot make up my mind. C or E leaning towards the latter.

E

Reus

Put the 3 names into a hat and pick one out. Sort of kidding!! Couts I'd say.

Kimmich’s end product has been pretty crap. Even I have but definitely prefer RR over him if capping a def.

I think the opposite about clean sheet potential. The Germans have been so open at the back every time they attack (and they're in the oppositions final third a lot!) that the likes of Son will only relish a half chance to run into an empty German half and score. I think the Germans are very likely to concede today, and I think Costa Rica are too poor to score, think they've only had 4 or 5 shots in their other 2 games in total! Good luck with your choice, it's a tough one this round, wish I'd kept my max captain!

Neymar no doubt

Because you've James tomorrow, you really can do a luck dip! RR for me.

Jarvish noticed that his and your competitions weren't included in the Roundup. I'll get them in there this week if you can send me updated standings 🙂

The Roundup is written Friday so if you could submit it by Friday midday I'll include it

Reus

Just follow the noise 🙂

If nothing else, there's a 'British pub' there called Britannica that was in the FSF guide; you'd expect a few to turn up there.

Isco, Modric, Kane

Not telling.

Costa, Isco, Carvajal

Isco, Carvajal, Modric

Lukaku, Modric, a penalty taking defender

Was on Cavani’s 6 (x2). Got Reus Kimmich and Rodriguez today. Switched to Rodriguez as almost certainly a clean sheet to equal Cavani and good chance of penalty and goal/assist potential.

Got 2 points each from my first 2 captains Costa & Higuain!

RR, Reus & Coutinho are the main contenders today.
RR is really tempting as Swiss have a good chance of CS and he’s on pens + set pieces. With James to fall back on tom I might gamble on RR.

Messi 5.

RRod, Sommer, Akanji, Kimmich today.

Will go RRod. What’s one more egg in the Swiss defence basket.

I'm still on Suarez 6(x2).. Think I'm going to stick. Would have moved to Eriksen yesterday so the stick was the right choice and I have Coutinho/R Rod and Kane left.

Bit worried about a R Rod clean sheet + attacking returns, but could easily concede, and not convinced Kane will start tomorrow..

6 pointer from SUAREZ just feels a bit average for me. Having only MEUNIER(doubt) tomorrow i'm tempted to take a punt on Reus, that's the reason why I brought him on, could go big or blank. Kimmich,jesus and Mueller have been disappointing for me so far.

Stick on 7 with Werner, Coutinho and Kane left?

Captaincy was on Salah (6) , tfd to Messi(5) yesterday. Today am handing it to Hector or Miranda. Both have potential CS points. Edging towards Hector (assist potential)

Had Salah with his 6. Shame he didn't go on from there to take the matter out of my hands.

I'm sitting at 14k OR and there's becoming a gap above me so I'm willing to take a punt on Kimmich with Falcao as a last desperate throw of the dice tomorrow.

BUT I am not in any cash mini leagues, I'm purely looking at OR. If I were in a cash league, I think it's most sensible to bank any return. I'd be happy with a single return in FPL and with the rounds now being shorter, there's much less scope for swapping.

I do think the lack of bonus is throwing us a bit. Many of these 6 or 7 point returns would have been 8-10 in FPL which has perhaps conditioned us that 6 is poor.

Fantasy bet says CS odds are 6.5 Serbia and 11 South Korea. For these reasons I am tempted by Reus/Kimmich over Coutinho who would of course be a solid bet also.

We also need to ask the question - what are we expecting from a captain? If we would twist on a single goal then we surely need to look at someone who can score two. For me that only leaves Neymar or Reus out of the highly-owned assets.

The safest pick for points of some sort is probably Kimmich but I would expect either a goal/assist or a clean sheet, perhaps not both as South Korea may well need to throw the kitchen sink at Germany late on.

Messi (c) >

A. Coutinho
B. Reus
C. Kroos
D. Kimmich

This is the perfect round for max captain chip, but I played mine last round when I didn't even need to. Captains have been Ronaldo and Cueva. Options today like so many others are Reus, Kimmich, Couts, RR, Shaqiri, hey even Granqvist is not a bad option! But I'm going RR. He has good numbers to back this up, plus on penos/corners, plus Costa Rica couldn't score in a granny brothel with Rooney as their guide.
I really think South Korea will score. Having looked at the Germans play, they'd find it tough scoring in that granny brothel too!
Couts is the sensible choice today. 2 goals so far, will get most of the chances to score today in his game too. But the maverick move is RR. I, like lots here too have 2 Swiss defense, so I may as well go all in with RR captain.
PS: I would go Couts if I didn't have James tomorrow.

Was Costa, then Messi.

Switching to Reus today and James tomorrow as a last roll of the dice just in case.

Tempted to simply stick with Gallese's 6(x2) points from yesterday.
However, with Kroos, Coutinho and James still to play, I may end up rolling the dice...

Kane & Kaku too.

Glad I WC BBd now to get the differentials in! Template city from here

Fortune favours the bold, don't be a wuss.

I think around 2m

There were just shy of 6 million participants in the Euro Cup game 2 years ago. Assuming it's comparable numbers for this summer's edition.

1.8 million-ish

reus as I have him.

mueller and Kimmich other solid picks

Reus for me or Kimmich

This!!!!!!!!!!!

Am almost certain Spain will concede. Pique and Ramos wont be able to handle Golovin and Cheryshev's pace.

Love Russian MILFs
