Saturday is deadline day for Fantasy FIFA World Cup managers as the Final round gets underway.
Transfers have to be made by 22:00 BST.
It’s called the ‘Final’ round but remember that the third-place play-off counts towards Fantasy scores, too.
But how many moves can managers make – and how many representatives from one country are permitted?
HOW MANY FREE TRANSFERS WILL I HAVE?
There is an increase in free transfers from the last round.
Managers get six free transfers ahead of the semi-finals:
| Tournament Stage | Transfer Allocation |
| Pre-tournament | Unlimited |
| Before start of Matchday 2 | 2 transfers |
| Before start of Matchday 3 | 2 transfers |
| Before start of Round of 32 | Unlimited |
| Before start of Round of 16 | 4 transfers |
| Before start of Quarter-finals | 4 transfers |
| Before start of Semi-finals | 5 transfers |
| Before the Final | 6 transfers |
HOW MANY PLAYERS CAN I OWN PER COUNTRY?
There’s also an increase in the number of players permitted per country.
Managers can now own up to eight players per nation, an increase of two from the Semi-final round.
It’s a peculiar rise, given that we’ve got the same number of teams (four) and the same number of fixtures (two) as we had in the previous round!
| Tournament Stage | Restriction |
| Group Stage | Max 3 players per Country |
| Round of 32 | Max 3 players per Country |
| Round of 16 | Max 4 players per Country |
| Quarter-final | Max 5 players per Country |
| Semi-final | Max 6 players per Country |
| Final | Max 8 players per Country |
