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:

Bringing in Saibari has gone well
IvanTheTerrible
Still early but it looks like we might benefit more from defenders from now on.
bees393
Yup…brought in Hakimi…defenders are doing it.

Anyone watching Paraguay vs France?
The ref is a disgrace – Paraguay are lucky not to have 6/7 cards and instead it”s only France with 2 YCs
Reg83
Yeah watched. Most boring game this WC apart from England vs ghana. 1 trickery by Doue made the difference.. Regret having triple attack in France
Terminators
I think I will stick with Mbappé rather than changing to Messi.

Nah, some of the rest is bound to score more than a goal.
I have VJ next followed by Kane, then Yamal or Baena and if all these fail will finish with Messi.
bees393
I will likely move it but not like super confident about doing so. Games are getting tighter.
Have Vini, then Oyarzabal and Messi.
Terminators
Kane to score one or more against Mexico
Reg83
U were willing to make the change when mbappe scored 30 pts.
I am changing, still got few chances to get more than 18.
bees393
I did not change Mbappe, or want to Reg. Must be someone else you are thinking of. I am getting closer to doing this though. Don’t have faith in Vini to get more but Messi may or even Oyarzabal.
Reg83
No not you. Terminators
Terminators
Yeah I know, that was a mistake, but everyone was surprised by the result surely?
Reg83
Now i got 3 captains in a row. Hakimi, mbappe and now kane all on 18pts.. think i ll just stick now with Kane 18 pts. Messi could get more but a bit of a. Gamble and no other straight fwd captain choices..

They say things come in threes. England thrashed by South Africa in the rugby. England thrashed by Australia in the world T20 final. Surely not England thrashed by Mexico??????
bees393
That is quite possible. Not thrashed, but Mexico may win it.
IvanTheTerrible
It’s getting really frustrating. The ENG vs Mexico is at 1 AM in the UK. The other day FIFA said it will be moved forward to 7 PM because of expecting thunderstorm. Yesterday they made a U turn and decided the game will go at the original time. Now, there are reports on all news channels that there is 80% chance the game to be delayed or even cancel because of a storm

Odegaard is pretty bad. Can’t believe he’s still at Arsenal. Maybe he does something I am not aware of.
Reg83
Really? He was quite good. Better than the brazil mids. Missed 1 good chance though
