A £20,000 prize is on offer with Play Dribble’s World Cup Fantasy Cup this month and you haven’t got long left until the qualifying rounds draw to a close.

The tournament has a guaranteed £100,000 in prizes with first place claiming one fifth of the pot.

All it takes is one £5 entry to be in with a shout. CLICK HERE to play.

How does the Fantasy Cup work?

There are no budgets and transfers in Play Dribble’s Fantasy Cup with managers picking daily teams based on each day’s fixtures.

In order to earn a place in the final, managers must first get through qualifying and knockout rounds.

Coming first or second in qualifying five-player Dream Team games will earn managers tickets to the knockout rounds. The initial rounds end on Thursday June 28 with the knockouts starting on Saturday June 30.

In order to survive that stage and qualifying for the final, players must pit their wits against every remaining rival. Every day a certain percentage of the lowest scoring users will be eliminated.

Making it to the final itself, which will take place on Sunday July 15, will result in guaranteed pay-outs.

This is the payout structure for the overall winners:

  • 1st place: £20,000
  • 2nd place: £8,000
  • 3rd place: £5,000
  • 4th place: £3,600
  • 5th-6th place: £2,400
  • 7th-8th place: £1,400
  • 9th-10th place: £1,200
  • 11th-15th place: £900
  • 16th-20th place: £500
  • 21st-25th place: £420
  • 26th-36th place: £260
  • 37th-2335th place: £50,000+ in prizes

HOW MANY TEAMS CAN I ENTER?

You can enter as many qualifying Dream Team games as you want in the qualifying rounds. You can win a maximum of 10 tickets into the knockouts.

WHO ARE THE BEST PLAYERS TO HELP ME WIN?

    Captain Coutinho or R. Rodriguez?

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Coutinho

  2. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else going for 4 players from Spain despite their general performances?

    Most likely team to go through to quarters so far.

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Isco and Costa are the only ones that interest me. I'd probably get them both.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Carvajal too for me. Also tempted by Ramos, but I’d guess Silva is actually the one on pens.

        1. WE GO FOR IT
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Their defense isn't that great. I feel Golovin and co. might sneak a goal in.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      The thing is their assets aren't great. Their forwards get rotated (Costa has really bad underlying stats despite his goals), their midfielders are all overpriced except Isco who is the first person in my team, and their defense is suspect and also super overpriced.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Isco and Carvajal are in my team. Costa probably, although I am worried about him a little. Since I used my WC I need to be safe with players who will go through to the next round. I feel like Spain will be the clearest option.

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, Isco, Costa, Carvajal, Alba all in my team at the moment.

    4. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes and 4 from Belgium/England lower bracket.

      1. JLAEST
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Or 4 from each 😉

    5. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I have DDG, Carvajal (maybe will upgrade to Ramos), Isco and Costa. defender, Isco and Costa nailed in my team for now.

  3. WE GO FOR IT
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Captain?
    1. Neymar
    2. Mueller
    3. R. Rodriguez

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      has to be neymar if you have him imo

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers. Was on him only but the fact that the other 2 have much easier fixtures confused me a little.

  4. Lewa
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    The same question that everyone is asking
    Captain

    A)Kimmich
    B)R.Rod
    ?????????

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      RRod.

    2. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      B

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Kimmich. Germany will be fired up after the last minute winner. An early goal and I see them putting 4/5 past Korea.

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah I have a nasty choice between:

      Kimmich
      R. Rod
      Reus
      Coutinho

      Right now on R. Rod but it's devilishly hard to get right.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Exactly the same choice, also on RR

      2. JPoole98
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Although I have double Swiss defence, there's part of me that can see Costa Rica scoring (only because they haven't scored in the tournament yet).

        I'm tempted by Kimmich most

      3. Lewa
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        R.Rod is tempting cause he is on penalties and a great fixture but Kimmich attacks a lot and Germany might score a few... against Korea

      4. Paramaribo
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I have the same 4 to choose from (J Rod still for as a last day option). The problem is that it is very likely that Switzerland would also qualify with a loss. I can see something like Brazil - Serbia at 2:0 with 20 minutes to go and then the Swiss would really have nothing to play for. Of course it will be different if Germany wins their group.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah but their defense is strong and Costa Rica's is bad. Can see it being a 0-0.

  5. Thinkering like a Boss
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    First Draft with BB. Still have WC

    Ochoa, Subasic
    Maguire, Carvajal, Strinic, RRod, Meunier
    Modric, Isco, Coutinho, Layun, Bentacur
    Costa, Lukaku, Kane

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty good, not a fan of Layun personally. I’ll be going for Quintero

      1. Thinkering like a Boss
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Nice idea. Will consider the thought. Ta

        1. JLAEST
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Why not both for Bentancur?

          1. Thinkering like a Boss
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Not enough money. Need to downgrade others. Any suggestion?

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That looks decent for a BB.

      Glad I used my bench boost this week though. BB in the R16 without a WC for the QF is really rough because you can easily leave a ton of value on eliminated players.

  6. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Reus or Coutinho (C)?

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Reus

    2. Louis_Sans_Balls
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Reus

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Reus

  7. ooooo
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Captain
    A) Coutinho
    B) Werner

    1. ooooo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      just seen above ignore

  8. Louis_Sans_Balls
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Reus or Kimmich (c)?

    1. Lewa
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Kimmich imo

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Reus

    3. Louis_Sans_Balls
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      what are the odds on each scoring?

  9. Bad Kompany
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Captain Reus, Kroos, Coutinho, Zuber, Akanji, Kimmich, or Fagner for Messi?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Zuber.

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        That's who I'm on at the moment 😉

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      kroos

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers! Thinking either him or Reus but can't decide

        1. FPL Scoop
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          yeah. kroos more nailed and on set pieces. if i had id do him over reus

          1. Bad Kompany
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Cheers! Think Reus will play but Kroos having set pieces is leaning me that way

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Kimmich.

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers!

    Can anybody "top" this?
    On a WC, 5 of my players have played since yesterday, bringing me a grand total of...... 3 points!

    Ronaldo: 1
    Costa: 2
    Sainsbury: 1
    Lovren: 0 (this one was pretty special as he only came on to concede the penalty)
    Cheryshev: -1

  13. FPL Scoop

    modric look like a decent pick?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yep looks like a great pick!

    2. JLAEST
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe. On set pieces, cool fixture, team playing well.

    3. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Looks ugly imo..

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        banter

    4. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes imo as he plays in a more attacking role for Croatia than Madrid. Rebic looks better value at 5.5 though

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        right, good to know. cheers.

  14. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    who would swiss play in r16

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      can't say yet. Sweden, Mexico, or Germany

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Mex

    3. JLAEST
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Most likely Mexico. Germany would be great for fantasy purposes though.

  15. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Money no problem, who should I get?

    A) Neymar

    B) Jesus

    C) Both

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A.)

  16. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Looks like they're removing eliminated teams immediately, transfer in these players right now!

    C. Sanchez
    Sakai
    Hassen

    This will give you the most flexible options come time to build an R16 team since they're the cheapest fodders available (all down from the minimum so could save you 0.3m!)

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      There's quite a few more bench fodder that dropped .1 too.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah but Sakai and Sanchez could actually progress. Pick em up now before they get removed upon elimination just so you have the option of them if your teambuilding requires fodders.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Aye true that. Though with unlimited tinkering it doesn't really matter if they go out. Barrios for Colombia is 4.4 too.

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            It kind of does because they will remove the players.

            So if Colombia and Japan go out you can't bring in the 4.4m mids and 3.9m defs unless they're already in your team.

            1. Epic Fail
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Sorry yeah I meant right now it doesn't matter, for anyone looking to just throw some in as a placeholder.

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That's actually a brilliant idea

      1. Mysterion
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Unless you're BB'ing

        1. Bad Kompany
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          used that right away. It's worthless with the substitutions

        2. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah but a lot of people have used it already this week. If not, then sure, transfer them out but get them now you literally lose nothing and gain everything.

          1. Mysterion
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            True, no such thing as "SV" in this game I guess

          2. Louis_Sans_Balls
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            But how will Hassen help when the whole pt of BB only favors when you have 2 clean sheets?
            I understand for those that won't be is a good strategy

            1. Louis_Sans_Balls
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              oh to free up dinero?

            2. Camzy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              You misunderstand. It's not worth getting Hassen if you're gonna bench boost. But the whole point of transferring in bench fodder now is that it gives you the CHOICE of playing a fodder based style. If you don't do this now, you'll lose the option for good.

              1. Louis_Sans_Balls
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                yeah i think i answered my own question, got ya

  17. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    does bench fodder look the way to go if you've played BB already?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Has pros and cons.

  18. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years

    is picking rrod over coutinho/kimmich a decent bet.I fancy him?

    1. FPL Scoop

    1. yakirh

      Reus

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Reus imo. But RRod has pens and should keep and cs. Think Germany will score a bunch though

    1. Legomané

      Are they in L16 yet?

  22. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Stick or twist with Messi(c)?

    Only real option is Lukaku...

      who else u got

    2. JLAEST

      7 years, 6 months ago

      How bad are the others? No defenders likely to clean sheet?

    3. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Ouhh, you didn't hear?

      Stick, I don't think Lukaku will play.

    Is Maguire worth considering? £5m is tempting.

      lovren moreso imo

      • 8 Years

    thoughts??

      hazard bias?

    2. JLAEST
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I think that's developing to be the template or close to it. However, for me:
      - Godin out (may be a budget buy like Mojica which frees 1M)
      - Kane for Hazard/Lukaku (both is overkill)
      - Don't like Inui but don't think there's budget for any different

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Let's see the draw.If England get a lucky one it's Kane and if Belgium get it it's haz and kaku

      quintero over layun if colombia get thru

    r16 draft (cheap bench of uzoho, sakai, inui, c.sanchez)

    alisson
    kimmich carvajal meunier RRod/lovren
    Coutinho modric isco
    cr7 costa kane/lukaku

    *if lukaku is fit, will likely be kaku>cr7

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor

      Isn’t Uzoho eliminated?

    2. Camzy

      Get Hassen. He's 3.9m. Would leave one spot for a super sub over Inui.

      That looks good though. Alisson tricky but I guess the plan is to switch from Alisson to Neuer if they go out.

  26. JLAEST

    Alisson against (likely) Germany? Out for me (Courtois/Pickford/Subasic/Ochoa depending on budget)
    Ronaldo out for Hazard/Lukaku
    Kimmich out for Lovren/Strinic
    Use leftovers to upgrade bench
