The final game of Matchday 2 takes place this evening, with Uruguay v Portugal kicking off at 19:00 GMT.

A win for Portugal will see them follow Brazil and France into the round of 16, while a victory for Uruguay would catapult them from third to first in Group H.

A draw, meanwhile, would still leave both nations’ destinies in their own hands heading into Matchday 3.

As for the team news, Uruguay have exchanged one veteran forward for another in their bid to improve on their goalless offering in their opening match against South Korea.

Edinson Cavani comes in for Luis Suarez, who is among the substitutes.

Sebastian Coates and Guillermo Varela also start as Martin Caceres and Facundo Pellistri drop to the bench.

Pepe, Nuno Mendes and William Carvalho replace Danilo, Raphael Guerreiro and Otavio in Portugal’s three changes, with Otavio and Danilo’s absences enforced.

MATCHDAY 2 LINE-UPS

Portugal XI: Diogo Costa, Cancelo, Pepe, Dias, Guerreiro, Neves, Carvalho, Bernardo, Fernandes, Félix, Ronaldo.

Uruguay XI: Rochet, Coates, Godín, Giménez, Varela, Bentancur, Vecino, Olivera, Valverde, Cavani, Núñez.

is it wise to use the wildcard for this match day?

does it mean i can make changes all week for free? e.g. check the line ups and change players on who is actually going to be on the pitch? or would i be limited to the 2x subs as usual once match day kicks off?

  You can, but to be honest you've missed a huge advantage of it already. People who have used their WC for MD2 will have constructed their team for MD3 with it.

    disagree. the WC in md3 is much more advantageous. WC2 guys can set up for md3 but they can only make 2 transfers. And with rotation esp for France, Brazil & some other teams, this is advantage for WC3 bcoz u can change ur non starter for another starter from same team.

  Correct you can transfer out players whose game is yet to start for other players whose game is yet to start and the incoming player will be the one who scores points, no limits on the number of transfers you can do like this.

I have been making transfers for MD3 from my MD2 Wildcard, but when I make a transfer I don see the player showing it just says:

You have already made a transfer involving  this player that becomes active next Matchday.

Is this the same for others, I have no idea what budget I have left doing it this way.

If you're on a MD2 wildcard then if you transfer out a locked player they are gone and you can't redo that transfer, so don't tinker too much.

Unrelated note for MD3...

Noppert, Turner
Dumfries, Maehle, Trippier, Montiel, Saiss
Saka, Di Maria, Olsen, Gavi, Bergwijn (will MD3 sub him if he doesn't start)
Messi, Mbappe, Richarlison (as above)

Haven’t got a lot of time this evening to look at my WC MD3 hack team. Going for teams with something to play for mostly and targeting the fixtures. How does it look?

Alison, Turner
Alba, Dumfries, Trippier, Her Andes, Raum
Olmo, Musiala, Gundogan, Bergwijn, Rabiot
Kane, Gakpo, Morata

Best gk to go along with Noppert for MD3?

Also when is the deadline for this WC hack? 9pm?

And how many transfers do we get to amend our MD3 teams after the deadline in order to react to lineups as they come out?

Without looking into it too much I think my MD3 'hack' team after wildcarding will be:
Alisson / Noppert
Sandro / Hernandez / Dumfries / Alba / Saiss
Olmo / Musiala / Ziyech / Gavi / Klaassen
Mbappe / Richarlison / Gakpo

Any of these not likely to start MD3 for some reason?
