Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 11
Happy Sunday to you all! Belgium and Russia kick us off at 5pm today with Lukaku hoping to atone for his no show in stage 1. Well ok, he showed up, but he did pretty much bugger all and disappointed many who had him as a last resort captaincy option. Hopefully he can produce in this one and announce himself on the world stage. Either way, and even if he notches a hat trick, we imagine Jose will be sat at home saying ‘meh, bring me Costa’. Hazard and KDB will hold many a hope here also and it will be interesting to see if Belgium can get into their stride as they looked a little burdened in the opener, perhaps with the weight of expectation but if they can it would be thrilling to see a ‘smaller nation’ finally threaten the established teams.
South Korea and Algeria go at 8pm. Little of fantasy interest here we imagine other than the odd cheeky Algerian filler. If you have an under performing star elsewhere then replace and hope by all means but don’t be expecting much. Although a few of us thought that of Greece the other night and woke up with an extra 20 odd points so just never know!
The good old USA are back in action at 11pm as they attempt to tame Ronaldo and 10 other Portugeezers. Given our links with MLS and having a good number of regulars from the USA we may be a tad biased here but we make no excuses for saying ‘Go USA!!!’ in this one. Ronaldo himself is struggling with a persistent knee injury that his medics have warned him he needs to rest but we imagine he will be out there fighting regardless as Portugal look to avoid an early exit from the competition.
When will we know team Algeria
OAP, about 7ish.
#ALG LINE-UP: Mbolhi, Bouguerra (c), Halliche, Mesbah, Feghouli, Brahimi, Medjani, Slimani, Bentaleb, Djabou, Mandi
#KOR LINE-UP: S R Jung, S Y Yun, Y G Kim, H M Son, C Y Park, Y Lee, J C Koo (c), K Y Han, S Y Ki, C Y Lee, J H Hong
So,
Kombarov + KDB > Bouguerra + Bentaleb?
Both K’s at 5 points each.
Thinking of Oscar to Bedoya as well.
Yip.
Advice from a direct competitor
Good advice aswell. 😮
We were so close to good points from Kombarov
yes
Think I may have just thrown perfectly good points away bringing in Bentaleb & some Algerian defender – hopefully they will get more than 10points between them
Good luck Seren. Surely a CS must be on the cards?
This will be second week that i haven’t even given Bentalab a run out. Just can’t bring myself to take out a player on 7 points for him.
Would you do Bougerra or Bentalab? i can have one of them. Cuurently going with the defender but happy be convinced otherwise.
Just removed a 6pt player for Bentaleb, it’s a risk but I figure he is starting so must get a minimum of 3pts. Against South Korea must have a chance of points? I figure nothing ventured nothing gained!!
Seren, have faith.
Problem is Elle, they usually do well when they are on my bench …… I will have jinxed it now!
Which def did you bring in ?
Halliche (probably spelt wrong)
To prove a point I will tell you I have iganashivich (again spelt wrong) on my bench with 13pts – I chose vertongen over him
Go in haliche…
Wow Halliche on 8points already, this may just work out for me. Watch out Potstar group D
Same here Gerrard and Naymar out. Bentaleb and Djabou in fingers crossed
Come on Algeria!!
It’s much better watching having players involved than dead game also new computer my wife said I hope your going to use this computer !
Lol too right Alsed!!
My mrs just looked at me with contempt when I said I will be watching Algeria vs South Korea!!
i just told my mrs its Arsenal vs Tottenham and she left me to it.
I fixed up an old laptop and put Netflix on for her and said see that’s how much I love you, then looked at the game all wantingly and said how much you love me lol, of course she only went baa baa baa, but still
:big-lol:
