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.

I wonder if I should keep Mbappé as captain or is it worth changing to Kane and then maybe Messi
Messi is surely going to want to go for the golden boot and score as many as possible.

I’m sticking with Mbappe…had enough of hoping and changing lol.
Terminators
It is a good score, but idk I am wondering if Messi will go crazy against Cabo Verde and beat some records?
The most goals scored by an individual in a World Cup finals match is five by Oleg Salenko playing for Russia against Cameroon in a 1994 finals match.
French forward Just Fontaine holds the record after scoring an incredible 13 goals at the 1958 tournament in Sweden.

All of these guys had maybe 6 or maximum 7 or 8 goals.. messi and mbappe already 6, if messi scores hattrick or more vs cape verde, he could by reaching final surpass fontaine 13.. though i wonder why fontaine only played in 1 wc? Perhaps france didn’t qualify next wc
Reg83
Fontaine retired in 1960 due to serious injury. Thats sad.

If Mbappe scored 16 points why only 30 as captain?
Reg83
Qualification booster 2 pts not doubled.

Cheers Reg.
Terminators
yeah I was wondering the same.
Terminators
Do I risk subbing my Brown and Konsa, I will sub Brown but idk about Konsa.
Wondering who is better I am thinking Freeman for Brown as USA are more likely to get a CS or Cucurella v Austria?

You have Freeman who plays tonight. See how this goes and then worry about Cucu tomorrow.
Terminators
So just Freeman for Brown now?
IvanTheTerrible
Of course T. You don’t need Cucu until tomorrow night and by that time very likely Dzeko would have spoiled Freeman’s CS
IvanTheTerrible
Sometimes we all have to risk a few points. Yamal will replace Nmecha and then most likely Kimmich and Hernandez will go out for the two ARG defenders in my case.

Where will england be without Kane? C him as i didn’t c mbappe yday and now just going to stick.
IvanTheTerrible
Indeed. He’s always been a good player but has became exceptional since joining Bayern.
Terminators
I Have Kane, but captained Mbappé, but I am pretty sure I will switch the armband to Messi.

97 points with Cucu, Yamine, Messi, Molina, Sanchez and Mazambi to go…will take it!
