World Cup 1st Group Phase Live Match Chat
Welcome to World Cup 1st Group Phase Live Match Chat. The long four year wait is over and so is the tinkering for the first set of matches. We hope that you are happy with the 15 players you ended up with, but even if you decided against playing the fantasy version we still encourage you to partake in the chat below. We are sure there will be plenty to discuss that doesn’t always involve whether you should get assist points for a shot that was blocked or your striker really did touch the ball a la Kane before it went in. Predictor games, brackets, bets on the golden boot are all welcomed here. And yeah, even old school footy chat for those that who are just watching the games for fun and just want to talk about the Joga Bonito.
So that you have them to hand, we will post a screenshot of the substitution rules, transfer allotment, wildcard, boosters and of course we will have times and dates for all matches in this, the first of three group phases/rounds/fixtures or whatever you want to call it.

Changes made. Do we think Mojica will start, so I can swap him for Mueller?
Ik already made that swap. Makes IT nicer tot watch Columbia. 3 Columbian players for me now.
I am going for it. Cheers :thumbup:
Ivan
Can’t you wait until Tuesday?
In the unlikely event he’s ruled out, one point is better than none
That is a good point GP. No rush.
Wolf pack
I agree with you on Portugal having the best player and Spain the best team based on what I’ve seen so far.
I think England are in for a though gave tomorrow. Watched Tunisia in recent friendlies and they aren’t half tough.
Is that Scottish for ‘an easy game’?
*tough game.
Excuse me. I had a little visitor there when I was typing so I rushed it.
One of the kids was up that means, nothing sinister or sexual……….. (sadly) 😉
So many things wrong with that post!
All true. Kids were up and wife already asleep.
Just me, a beer and the England managers documentary.
Rock and roll.
Quick question guys.
If you don’t use your FT for round two will you have 2 FT after that?
Unfortunately not mate. Differs from FPL and strangely also CL in that respect. Last line on the attached pic…
Although I say CL, it may be the same, can’t say I’ve ever saved one in that despite playing it for years. You tend to always need at least one given the gaps in GW’s.
Hmm, strange rules. I was hoping it was like in FPL. So far, I can’t see any outstanding player to go mad for.
Considering a hit for Ronnie myself. Or anyone who plays Saudi Arabia. *goes to check if we can actually take hits!
This is definitely what would happen if England won the World Cup
There is a chance 😆

That’s quality. I clicked the link with a preconception that it’d be naff but it was really, really good. Started slow but got me at Vardy Party and £10 Sterling and got stronger from there on. The Queen / Usain Bolt thing was the only poor bit after that.
I loved it. Just wonder what’s next after England wins tomorrow.
Baby steps 😉
Total car crash! I picked Lloris, Hegazi, Mercado, Otamendi, Miranda, Isco, JMario, Kroos, Messi, Neymar, Arrasceto. My ML opponents were envious now they’re really taking the piss.
Don’t worry that much. We all jumped on the bandwagon as usual.
After the next round the picture will be clearer.
Panic not. In FPL terms we are at about GW4 right now of a 38 week season.
(We are roughly about 68.75% of the way through phase 1 of 7. Each phase represents roughly 5.43 FPL GW’s.)
In other words it’s early days. And as Ivan sort of said, loads of time to pick upon who the new bandwagons are.
68.75% is roughly? You really should get out more & I mean that nicely. I’m going to make you the enforcer for Zorro’s My Rules comp, you’ll have a ball.
