          Hearing Singo might not play otherwise I'd have opted for him

      The ones that have won the group will. Alvarez will get a start, I think. Either for Messi or Martinez

      I think Messi will play. Jordan is just a too tasty fixture for him.

      Otherwise, Scaloni will rotate as much as he can or is reasonable. I think the players who have been booked will start on the bench. I hope this will lead to Tagliafico starting.

      Other teams... Well, I think star players will play less if/when the team has secured the top spot.

          Is Hernandez not expected to start? Just bought him for 4% team 😆

          Rate Norway attack higher than Panama and Otamendi was reckless when he came on, so Konsa for me. James not possible or is he expected to get benched as well?

            Im clueless bud. Got burnt on wc in Md2 by getting in Hernandez and stones. Two cs down the drain. Not confident about any of the England or Argentina defenders.

        You have a decent team too but if not now then when for the WC? That's why I'm so tempted to play it.

          Maybe R16 if a lot of (semi)favorites get upset.
          If I play it,I'm only doing it like 45 mins beforehand cuz otherwise my SB picks will be over the threshold.

    Fellow wildcarders here, do you go for Yamal this week?

    I've drafted up a team with Kane/Mbappe/Vini/Yamal + cheap GK and DEFs with clean sheet chances. But without Yamal I could go not-that-cheap on defenders

        That's just a point or two (depending on if Spain holds clean sheet until then), but he can get some points.

        But that's what worries me about Messi against Jordan too. He won't play much more than 60 mins and if he doesn't produce with rotation guys, it's just 1-2 pts for the matchweek. Do you think Yamal has the same concerns? Spain needs to win, Argentina doesn't.

      I have Messi, Salah, Vini and Yamal with Hakimi, Dumfries and Cucurella as the DEFs.

      GKs: Bounou (4.7) and Fofana (4.2)

        What is your plan if Bono gets a clean sheet, if he's over 6% now? Will you keep him and let Fofana on the bench with potential to get the scouting bonus with clean sheet?

        If you like Bono the most (and are confident in weather not delaying the game before as it did once), you can just take Vasilj or Kobel as they may get more points and you would have Bono as an insurance.

        I have Dumfries here, but Cucurella looks to face harder opponent than most. It was on display last week - Dumfries had 2 assists and still finished with only 8 pts, while clean sheet + scouting bonus on a DEF makes for 9 pts without G/A
