Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 5
Well we’ve had a great start to the World Cup and there has been plenty to talk about from the opening 4 days…the referees are as dodgy as Sepp, Vincente Del Bosque has morphed into David Moyes, United fans are drooling over the imminent arrival of Louis van Gaal and then there’s England who despite playing well succumbed to the Italians.
Today sees the worlds #1 player enter the fray as Cristiano Ronaldo and 10 other Portuguese lads take on Germany at 5pm…do the schedulers not realise that some of us have work?!! We suspect that much of the fantasy focus will be on the aforementioned Ronaldo as well as Germany’s Mesut Ozil, while it will also be interesting to see if Miroslav Klose can equal the all time record for goals scored at the World Cup currently held by the original Ronaldo. This will hopefully be an open, free flowing game of football, so leave work early to ensure you’re home for kick off!
At 8pm we move onto the heavyweight clash between Iran and Nigeria. Ok so it’s not much of a heavyweight clash but I can’t really think of much to say about either team! However due to the fact that a number of the Iranians were priced at £1.0m the vast majority of us will be cheering at least one or two Ayatollah’s! We suspect that there has been little investment in the Nigerian side although they do have a number of representatives from the Premier League so this could generate some interest.
Our final game of the day kicks off at 11pm as Ghana and America meet in Natal and again, this is a game that is unlikely to set the world alight. Those who play fantasy MLS are likely to take a keen interest in this as the Americans will be household names to them, while Chelsea fans will be keeping an eye on Christian Atsu.
Pepe with a red. Anyone surprised?
So who has Muller?
Not me, but I have Lahm. He’s on 10 right now! Then when they add the clean sheet point, 11. Not bad for a mid who didn’t score/assist.
Nice one Josh
Did Durm not play?
I got a bit late in substitution and didnt bring in Durm for Chovelas (5).
Don’t think he played B
I guess i made an error in choosing him then. What a waste, not even starting!
Anyway, happy i missed the subbing deadline, at least i have 5 points in defence intact.
Also hating my midfielders at the moment. Palacios got sent off, Pogba on pathetic score of 3, Ozil on 4 and Di Maria on 5.
Would you replace anyone of those? I have Bentaleb (Algeria), Bedoya (USA) and KDB (Belgium) left. KDB is obviously coming in for Pogba.
Replace Palacios with Bedoya and if he doesn’t do anything, then maybe replace him with Bentaleb.
Already replaced Palacios with Ozil and he failed too.
May as well replace Pogba with Bedoya first B and then if he scores more than Ozil then put KDB in for Ozil instead. It’s a shot for nothing.
I have an Iranian defender as my captain now with sundry scallies waiting patiently for it next.How did it come to this when the team that started out were worldbeaters?Roll on the 2nd phase coz it can’t be worse than this!!!
Neymar only showing 14 for me. however my total of 109 is obviously counting it at 28
Same here. Blind showing 12.
Ayupp….
Mini heart attack why is Neymar showing 14 points with with my captains armband on him….?
Should be 28…..
Ronald Mcf***ing Donald better not be messing around with the Bigpopz..!
Lol. Im facing the same issue with Blind (C).
Karnezis (5) to Dauda (Ghana) ?
Yes or No?
Just did the following moves as well:
Cholevas (5) > Montazeri (Iran)
Pogba (3) > Bedoya (USA)
Well Great.
Just forgot to replace Vargas (7) with Heydari (Iran).
I wouldnt have replaced him
yes re the Keepers move
