      And left out olise.

      1. I’m sorr to hear this, Mbappe would have attracted huge points for your team.

          Have him but not c. Hopefully kane or messi can match him. A hattrick would make it difficult

    Germany are the smartest team this wc. Preferred losing on penalties vs mediocre team paraguay than lose 0-6 to france

        They probably didnt expect paraguay to miss 2 decisive penalties so nagelsmann would have whispered to Tah.. just sky ur penalty

    Vini the only Blank so far.
    Sticking with the Caanada Keeper, benching Rangel.
    So need Ecuador to score.

    Question - Anyone know if bench quali-bonus points count? I know other points don't, but is quali-bonus maxed at 11 x 2, or is 15 x 2 possible?

      Only for players who are in your 11.
