We’ve opened the discussion a bit early so feel free to post up those last minute Rate My Teams and post any questions you have on any of the squads or potential team selections. We are blessed with a truly international community so we are sure you will get some answers to almost any concern you may have.

Giroud captain got me 10 points. Think I will give it to Robert Lewandowski on Sunday? Or should I stick with Ollie
I’d twist and go for it with Lewandowski, he was probably my favorite cappo option before today started.
Give the armband to someone who plays tomorrow first if you have anyone. If that fails then move it onto Lewy
Captained Payet, should I change it or not?
Yes.
No
I wouldn’t
Please help. This substitution and captain change is confusing.. I’ve never played fantasy CL.
I had Giroud captain yesterday. Have Kozacik (GK) and Dzemaili playing today. No one else in the entire team. So I should captain either one of these?
I’ve put the captaincy in Dzemaili today.
You may as well assuming you will be moving it on anyway from Giroud. They probably won’t get you more than he did but you just never know and you have a free opportunity to see what happens.
Manasi, you also have Ali and Dier also, so a choice of 4. You can only have one capo today though.
I choose Dzemaili today, as he’s playing today. Ali or Diet tomorrow (I’m on IST.)
Thank you for the help
These rules are so new to me!
Dzemaili and Alli / Dier are all playing on the same matchday.
Got it now. Technically, Ali/Dier are playing tomorrow” for us as the match is at 12:30 AM. And Dzemaili plays “today” at 6:30PM. This time difference is so messed up. But yeah, I changed the C armband to Ali
Hi Manasi, just follow the dates on the games as per the article here. All those on June 11th are classed as one set etc. Where are you exactly?
Better still I’ve just split them into days for ease of use.
Morning!
Anyone going with Kane as cappo?
I’m going to … If I can work out how to do it!!
Its easy. Click on My Team then click on the player you want as your new capo.
Tried it on PC and phone thei morning and both work fine.
Just changed capo on my iPad and it worked.
Problem is, I changed to Sommer
Does anyone know how many players there are in the overall league ? I’m currently sat at 224798 with 12 points
Can’t see a figure anywhere Matt. I’d say 12 was about average so probably double that many or so.
Well that was easy enough, just made Kane cappo, points haven’t been deducted but it won’t let me put it back on GIroud so presuming its for this match day and not the next! Maybe it’s like the sky game where you keep the captain points… That would be nice!
I reckon the points will update after the deadline
