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:

Who would have thought half time would be 0-0 for Spain!
Reg83
What about full time 0-0? What a shock! But these 8 3rd place teams going thru makes it still easy for spain to go thru.

Did Oyarzabal even touch the ball? Not impressed.
IvanTheTerrible
Believe it or not, I have to hope that captain number 6 Mbappe does something
bees393
You would think so. Otherwise Bruno will do the job.
Reg83
France vs senegal will likely be low scoring. I got Olise instead of mbappe so will c Haaland tmrw
IvanTheTerrible
Yes, first is Mbappe followed immediately Haaland and then Bruno. Have a couple of Colombians for the very last game but let’s hope we don’t need them in desperation.
Reg83
Oh! I think i misunderstood the rules. I thought u can change c per matchday not after every game..like in ucl fantasy..then it will be olise captain first.
bees393
You can change after every match Reg.

7 out of 13 games ended in a draw. Is it usually this many?
Reg83
The underdogs are playing well. No one expect cape verde, egypt , qatar or saudi arabia to get draws vs strong teams. Only 3 european countries have won till now which is a shock.. lets see if the real african champs can continue the trend vs france now.
IvanTheTerrible
Early days, I remember back in the 2010 WC, Spain lost the opening game and then went to win the cup.

Everyone drew today. I wonder what the prediction market paid out on that. I cannot belive the number of draws thus far.
Hope you all are enjoying the matches. I’m about to Vancouver BC and still eyeballing the Canada v Qatar match but it’s not looking good for my wallet. If we don’t end up at the game, then it’s tourist shit around the area. Here’s a picture of tonight’s sunset for fun.
