Skonto Rigga

The stand-out World Cup fixture of the day for many is the 16:00 GMT kick-off, which features Group D co-favourites Denmark and France.

The Danes have become something of a bogey team for Les Bleus, having defeated Didier Deschamps’ troops both home and away in the UEFA Nations League this year.

The two sides played out a mutually beneficial goalless draw in Russia four years ago, with France’s last victory over Denmark coming in 2015.

A win for the reigning World Cup champions today would seal their place in the round of 16, while a victory for Denmark would catapult them into top spot.

No team in Group D can be eliminated this afternoon, regardless of the result at Stadium 974.

As for the all-important team news, France have changed three-quarters of their defence.

Jules Kounde, Raphael Varane and Theo Hernandez replace Benjamin Pavard, Ibrahima Konate and the injured Lucas Hernandez in Deschamps’ three alterations from Matchday 1.

Kasper Hjulmand has gone one better, making four changes from the disappointing 0-0 draw with Tunisia.

The 6.4%-owned Andreas Skov Olsen is the highest-profile casualty from a Fantasy perspective, while captain Simon Kjaer and striker Kasper Dolberg also make way.

Thomas Delaney is injured and will miss the rest of the tournament.

Andreas Cornelius, Victor Nelsson, Jesper Lindstrøm and Brentford’s Mikkel Damsgaard are handed starts in their places.

Joakim Maehle is the most-owned Denmark player in the official FIFA Fantasy game, sitting in just over one in five of managers’ teams.

Pavard’s omission is a blow to the 15% or so who own the right-back but the other two France players with a double-digit ownership, Kylian Mbappe and Theo Hernandez, both start.

MATCHDAY 2 LINE-UPS

Denmark XI: Schmeichel, Andersen, Nelsson, Christensen, Kristensen, Højbjerg, Lindström, Eriksen, Maehle, Damsgaard, Cornelius

France XI: Lloris, Kounde, Varane, Upamecano, Hernandez, Tchouaméni, Rabiot, Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappé, Giroud

  It works like this:
  - Unlimited transfers throughout the MD between unlocked players.
  - If you a transfer a locked player out, the replacement is active from MD3. But you cannot sell this replacement player later if you change your mind - he is locked in for next MD.

        It is pretty messy to be fair. I've resorted to a 2nd "test" team to see how WC works, what the bugs are etc., which I would never think of doing for FPL. Luckily my main team is glitch-free so far

  Try refreshing your browser and/or logging out and logging back in again, and see if that restores your unlimited transfers.

a bit lucky there, he would've been 1v1 just by the searing pace.
but the pictures of course show defenders tracking back which is why it's a yellow

No Kane No Gain

So I was messing around on my MD2 WC, sold Dumfries and my keeper after their matches for MD3 and to see if they’d go through and enjoy the change. The transfers are locked for next week but when i try to sub them off for my bench now it says “error” when I try to confirm the subs. Other subs can come on for other players but the 2 I sold for next week cannot come on or off. And yes the players are unlocked that I am trying to bring on for them…

Anyone else have this issue?!

  Have seen others post something similar on here. So looks like you need to sub off the player first before doing the transfer. Another reason for leaving the transfers till during the last match.

I've got Mendy (GK) and transferred him out after Senegal's game, but for some strange reason now I cannot sub him off for Martinez (I get an error screen).

Anybody know how I can get my sub keeper to play?

For the time being I will sub Martinez with someone yet to play, hoping that they resolve this issue in the next 2 days.

It's a shame the official WC fantasy game is such a mess - functionality, points, positions, prices.... everything is wrong.
