FPL Marc

The fourth World Cup 2022 match of Wednesday 23 November takes place at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, as Belgium and Canada meet in Group F. Kick-off is at 19:00 GMT.

It’s not a surprise to see Roberto Martinez pick a strong XI that includes Kevin De Bruyne ($11.0m), Eden Hazard ($8.0m), Thibaut Courtois ($6.0m) and Youri Tielemans ($7.0m).

With Romelu Lukaku ($9.5m) injured for the time being, former Chelsea and Crystal Palace forward Michy Batshuayi ($6.5m) is chosen up front.

A 3-4-2-1 system is packed full of familiar names to the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) community, in addition to substitutes Leandro Trossard ($5.5m), Wout Faes ($5.0m) and Amadou Onana ($6.5m).

As for Canada, they return to the World Cup stage for the first time since 1986 and arrive with the exciting talents of Alphonso Davies ($5.0m), Jonathan David ($6.0m) and Tajon Buchanan ($5.5m).

They start as tonight’s front three, which gives out-of-position potential to Bayern Munich’s Davies – listed on the official FIFA Fantasy game as a defender.

MATCHDAY 1 LINE-UPS

Belgium XI (3-4-2-1): Courtois; Dendoncker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen; Castagne; Witsel, Tielemans, Carrasco; De Bruyne, E Hazard; Batshuayi

Canada XI (3-4-3): Borjan; Johnston, Vitória, Miller; Hoilett, Eustáquio, Hutchinson, Laryea; Buchanan, David, Davies

    Had a much better 1st half than 2nd, which I suppose can be said for the whole Canadian team.

last minute of the 90, your 1-0 down and you win a corner. Only to then put in the worst delivery of a corner imaginable

The Belgians are notoriously slow starters and they do have some health fitness issues but that aside they're def not playing like a team that's planning to go far especially playing it safe against Canada but that being said you can't write them off either, there's still much quality on that side

      Yes, but their xG conceded tells more about them than those points.

        3 points playing badly, scope for improvement. Onana and Trossard to start and Castagne on left. Martinez needs to stop showing loyalty to out of form non-performers who did well for him before.

      Good question. I have no clue. FIFA WC FF don't seem to have a definition. I searched for key passes definition when I put in a team and checked the rules. Tackles made also not defined, kinda assuming it's similar to ball recovery in UCL. More head scratching!

  Should beat them but not easily. If Kane is any ways a doubt start him on the bench.

I can already predict Switzerland vs csmeroon game.

0-0

African teams dont like to score or concede.

And serbia are going to provide the next shock. A mitrovic bullet header to beat Brazil 1-0

Does anyone know if you can transfer positions multiple times?

For example on wildcard could you start with Messi, change to a cheap player to use the hack in GW2, then change again to transfer in the player you want for GW3?

What's my plan here? 2FT, 1.5m ITB

Courtois
Dumfries-Trippier-Maehle
De Bruyne-Bergwijn-De Paul-Trossard
Mbappe-Neymar-Messi

Subs: Rochet-Pavard-Araujo-Almalki

Debating a De Paul or Trossard switch for Rabiot.

I've Messi as captain and three choices:

1) maintain
2) switch to Bruno
3) switch to Neymar

What do you guys think?

  Neymar is the safest option, but I get the feeling Messi and Argentina will be out for blood in these next few games.

    Sort of thinking the same, want to maybe try use my Matchday 2 FTs early to get maybe Bale and a Senegal player and then WC to get some Argentinians and others back in as well as setting up a little for Matchday 3. All a bit tricky though.

The rules say that MD1 ends at midnight on 25 November AST time. AST time is 4 hours behind GMT so MD2 open for transfers or to play Wildcard at 8 pm GMT

If MD2 also ends at midnight AST does that in fact mean that if you are planning to bring in MD3 players while your MD2 WC is still active you need to have all transfers completed before second half of final game of MD3 -Portugal v Uruguay Monday 28 November ( as rules are saying ends midnight AST which is 8 pm GMT)- this may catch people out

It’ll be good when the relative simplicity of FPL returns !
