Skonto Rigga

Matchday 1 of a rollercoaster FIFA World Cup concludes this evening as tournament favourites Brazil face Serbia.

The second-most-owned forward in the official Fantasy game, Neymar, is unsurprisingly part of head coach Tite’s starting XI tonight.

We’ve become accustomed to seeing him in a slightly more withdrawn role for his national side but he’ll still get forward plenty to support a front three of Raphinha, Richarlison and Vinicius Jr.

Alisson and Marquinhos are, surprisingly, the only other Brazil players bar Neymar with a double-digit ownership in the official FIFA game.

Serbia players are, of course, much less popular purchases among Fantasy managers.

Aleksandar Mitrovic is their most-owned squad member but sits in just 2.8% of teams.

The Fulham striker, plagued with an ankle/foot injury in the final weeks before the World Cup break, is fit to start tonight.

MATCHDAY 1 LINE-UPS

Brazil XI: Alisson, Danilo, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Alex Sandro, Casemiro, Lucas Paqueta, Neymar, Raphinha, Richarlison, Vinicius Jr.

Serbia XI: V. Milinkovic-Savic, Milenkovic, Veljkovic, Pavlovic, Zivkovic, Gudelj, Lukic, Mladenovic, S. Milinkovic-Savic, Tadic, Mitrovic.

Ederson is so unlucky in some ways, he is in the top two keepers in the world but can't get a game for his country at the world cup!

  Yeah I had read it as 9pm in the UK for the end of Matchday 1. So you need to have the transfers done before the last game of the matchday concludes really. Still have to wait 3 hrs and 45 minutes before Matchday 2 opens aswell.

  Same here, I changed my captain from a locked player to an unlocked player during MD1 and now looking at MD2 I'm unable to choose a different captain.
  
  I also cannot remove the player and I see this message: As you have changed your locked captain to this player, you are not able to transfer this player in this matchday.
  
  What a total shambles this game is!

Subbed in:
Musiala 1, KDB 2, Neymar 1
For
Caicedo Trippier Tagliafico showing 1 point each but will get zero if updated
So 4 points advantage

Transfers
Tagliafico for Lisandro, no benefit
Hector Herera for Khazri, 2 points

58 total plus 2 more expected from Messi c if updated

Changed Captain from Kane to Messi GW1
Now when I try to transfer out Messi I get this:

As you have changed your locked captain to this player, you are not able to transfer this player in this matchday.

Have launched the wildcard chip for matchday 2 and it says it is active. When I try to change team it will only allow me to make 3 transfers. Can transfer out more than 3 but can only add 3 back in. Anyone else encountered this?
