Fantasy Football World Cup 2026
Auto Pick Team
Right then, you’ve had your break….
The World Cup officially begins on Thursday June 11th. With 48 teams, 3 host countries and spanning 4 different time zones with 13 different kick-off times this could be messy. But let’s give it a try………

The Rules – in short
It looks very much like Champions League rules, in a roundabout way. The main takeaways are essentially;
- $100m budget
- Squad of 15
- 3 separate matchdays for the group stages
- Separate matchdays for each round thereafter
- You can switch players in from your bench during each matchday
- Likewise you can switch your Captain to your hearts content
- Deadlines are kick-off times – good luck with that one!
- There are a myriad of ‘Boosters’ to use
Basically you can find all the rules HERE

Fixtures
There are a lot, obviously. Too many to post up sensibly so instead you will have to settle for the groups:

Simple, yeah?! Any probs just shout below as usual.

Wow Germany doesnt rotate at all despite guaranteed 1st spot. Got undav and need to hope he scores off the bench again
IvanTheTerrible
That is really strange, nobody expected full force when top of the group is in the bag
Reg83
Lot of drama today with both south africa and Ecuador somewhat surprisingly winning and qualifying.

I don’t seem able to swap capt from Vini to Gakpo? Are you experiencing this too?
bees393
Sorted.
Bloody Summerville on the bench!
Reg83
Why would u do that? Vinicius was on 30 pts as captain.
Terminators
37pts so far.

Scruffy 41 here with the next dilemma, Mbappe or Olise for the armband
Reg83
53 here. Go with mbappe. Olise seems only assist man for france. I am sticking with hakimi 22 pts
Reg83
*59
IvanTheTerrible
Yes, Mbappe it is. Mind you, I have Mane and Diouf vs Iraq and wouldn’t be surprised if they do better.
Reg83
I got Mane too. Senegal need to not only win but win big to make it as 1 of best 3rd place teams.
bees393
Haaland is on the bench…so feel Mbappe will do very well. Haha…famous last words.
Reg83
Absolutely crazy! Norway can win the group with a win.
IvanTheTerrible
Have been unlucky with my chosen defenders. Mazraoul played only 7 minutes for a point and now Diouf benched as well. Let’s hope Otamendi and Guehi show up.
Reg83
In fact norway give up before even game starts rotating 10 players. Norway keen to play ivory coast in round of 32.
Reg83
Well nothing to watch after 10 mins outside of fantasy. france lead 1-0 vs 2nd string norway and senegal lead 1-0 vs now 10 man iraq.
IvanTheTerrible
It’s gone livelier with two for Mbappe but we need more
IvanTheTerrible
Meant just two assists.
bees393
18 pts from Cpt Mbappe. Should I move it to Yamine and then to Messi if needed. Kind of scared of getting worse points later…
Thanks!
IvanTheTerrible
Only have Kane to gamble with and don’t know, will sleep on it
bees393
Not going for Yamal. Maybe Messi tomorrow.
Goodnight!
