Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 4
Oh yeah baby, Sunday’s don’t get any better than this. Not only is it the last day of the US Open golf, but it’s also the Lord’s Test match. Oh and we have some T20 action to enjoy. And……wait for it…..four, yes four World Cup games! Get in there.
Our day starts early, at 2am at Yaya’s Ivory Coast take on Kagawa’s Japan. Then you sleep and tell your partner to wake you up around midday. Go enjoy a lovely Sunday lunch and be ready for 5pm at the Swiss take on Ecuador….obviously not that exciting a game, but it’s just the build up to the evening. 8pm sees France take on Honduras and many of you will be looking to the likes of Benzema or Cabaye to produce a decent point’s tally for your side.
If you’re still awake – and you should be, you slept all morning, its the Argies – Messi, Aguero, Higuain, di Maria et al taking on the Bosnians. Get through this game still awake and you’d have had one hell of a 24hrs!
Sit back, relax and enjoy the action right here at FF247 Live Match Chat, an interactive chat which encourages you to keep involved and share your thoughts and emotions as the matches take place.
Well, I’m on 107 with a full XI played. Will probably give Bedoya or Bentaleb a run out in place of Di Maria (who got 4) and then stick KDB for the last game if neither of them shine (or axe Zabaleta from my defence and go back to 3-4-3). Feeling pretty pleased, and have resisted the urge to de-captain Neymar! I really wish we could see how each other are doing though…
Pippin, nice score mate. You’re ahead of me. 90 with 10 played. Pleased i stuck with Cuadrado as captain.
Got lahm playing first up tomorrow, then its down to whether any of my iraq boys start against nigeria as to whether i sub them in or not. Currently got alves and my keeper both on 5, so they might go.
I’ve got a nigerian defender to come on too so he’ll get a go if he makes the starting line up.
Then, i’ve got 2 algerian defenders, a belgium defender and lukaku to come in. Dzeko is for the chop to make room.
Loving this game. Can’t wait to see all the scores!
I’m on 108 for 11 but with DiMaria on 4 going to gamble with him, the rest i’ll probably keep.
Just realised my iranian “forward” is actually likely to play at right back!
At lesst he might get a few blocked shots.
#mutedgoalthreat
chins- I have the same issue, I think all 3 of my Iranians are likely to play elsewhere than they’re listed. Will certainly await the teamsheet with interest !!
79 from 8…3 to play and 2 to possibly sub (dimaria and Iniesta)…
Not even going to talk about the Maccys one, horrible score, only hope is De Bruyne, Vertonghen and Dzagoev left.
Also on the Mirror one is there any reason why Lloris and Evra don’t have clean sheet points??
And also why Valbuena only has 1 point even though he played over 60 minutes?
Anyone know about these 2 points?
I’m assuming they’ll sort the points out on the Mirror one today as none of my French ones are correct.
Strange though, as the Argentina game points seem to be fine.
Morning init, on an unrelated topic, did you not realise that you can win 500 big ones if you win your county league in the T20? I don’t know if it’s too late for you to enter one, or if you will take all of your points into it with you if you do, but worth a shot eh? I only ask that you don’t join Nottinghamshire 😉
Morning Calvin, no I wasn’t aware of that, I’ll have a look and choose a county thanks.
No assist for rojo on the mcd’s game?
From the rules –
* An assist is awarded to a player who plays the final successful pass which leads to a goal. Please note that assists are not awarded to players who are fouled for free-kicks or penalties which lead to goals, for own goals or for goals which result from rebounds off other players or the woodwork.
ahh ok. Didnt realise that the game doesn’t give assists for own goals.
Cheers
I’m giving up on the McDonalds game.
I removed Di Maria from the starting 11 (to replace him with Lukaku), changed the formation to 3-4-3 and it still removed Oscar as he was the midfielder placed furthest to the right.
Ridiculous!
having the same problem. Farcical!
Surely if you remove a defender then change the formation from 5-3-2 to 4-3-3 it must be clever enough to realise you don’t want to remove another defender. Luckily i only lost 7 pts because of it.
Yeh, I’m getting to point of ending up not bothering.
What’s this about round 2 starting before 1 finishes, can we change our team back to what we want for the start of the round?
Nobody knows for sure, but I would assume that on the 17th when round 2 opens, the second round icon will become unlocked. Giving you till 8pm to select your second round team.
Morning, it’s a joke but I would urge you all to bat on, after all its only a bit of summer fun and bear in mind the work Potty has put in to the admin of his leagues – I completely understand the anger and frustration but also to just stop playing is a bit harsh on Potty, if you are in his comp, but you must do what you want.
FYI…I have just sent ANOTHER email to the site, copied below:
URGENT URGENT URGENT
Please help – a number of players in my league have additional players removed from their sides when changing formation. This is a huge problem with your game and needs addressing IMMEDIATELY.
The problem lies when they try to remove underachieving players (ie a midfielder), change the formation to say 4-3-3 and add a striker. In addition to their chosen midfielder being removed an extra midfielder is also removed. It is often the player furthest on the right who is mistakenly removed.
Your failure to respond to any of my messages also gives no confidence in the running of your competition and is leading more players to stop playing your game.
Your rules page is ambiguous. How does Round 2 start before Round 1 ends? How are we supposed to play that? There is no help available on your site to help us through this and will no doubt lead to others leaving your game.
Also, why are some players scores being changed sometimes 24 hours after their match has finished? How are we supposed to making sensible and well-planned substitutions when we have no confidence that the scores are correct and won’t change.
Some many problems, so little communication from yourselves.
Everyone understands errors and glitches, but your lack of response or communication is making the competition a farce and unfortunately for yourselves will mean many sites will not be promoting your games in the future.
We have, on numerous occasions, defended your game and encouraged players to keep playing and not throw in the towel, but these errors that are clearly not being addressed or even answered are making this harder to do and lead us to agree with them that your game is a joke, not being maintained adequately and you cannot even communicate with the players who have chosen your game over others.
Any chance you will respond to this? Doubt it.
Thanks.

Well said Cookie, lets hope they respond and quickly resolve these ongoing problems.
A friend of mine had problems with his captain Neymar being subbed out and as a consequence lost his 28 points as he couldn’t sub him back in. He has already given up playing it.
Woo hooo….
Thanks cookie….well said..!!!
Nice one Cookie,great e-mail and very well worded.Think i would have thrown a few expletives in !! My main frustration is the fact my players are just doing crap !! lol Oh and i still dont understand the scoring systems !!!
