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.
My guy got me 9 and I captained him coz all the others were crap and lo and behold he has come up with a huge 18 points and is my top scoring player!!!!!!I won’t be moving the armband from this baby!
What we have we hold and live to fight another day.Roll on the next group phase.
Bet you never dreamt in a million years he’d be your week 1 captain!
Nah he was just a fill in at a mill with no research.Got Bentaleb for a mill and Korkorin the russian as fill ins but these guys are stepping up big time as the BIG PLAYERS fail.They know who they are.Had Klose and Schweisteiger who were no shows but up popped the star of my show Montazeri.You couldn’t write the script.Onto tomorrow with Bentaleb replacing Schweinsteiger who replaced Iniesta,who replaced God knows who!!!!AAAAGGGH.Who plays tomorrow????Belgium which means de Bruyne anf Vtong or is he turning out for Japan.Ask the burger flippers!!
Kruz, you can join the happy throng celebrating in the bars of Tehran tonight!!
Nah they are on tea or hookey pipes mines a nice cold San Miguel or Cruzcampo hence the moniker.But I still support England!!
Potty, just to let you know I will likely change formation tomorrow, but don’t worry if all goes tits up I promise not to cry, sulk, throw my toys out the pram or leave the league. As we both know keep fighting is our motto
Goddammit, several players have moved past me in the mirror leagues due to having Müller and Nigerian defenders. I shall take back the no. 1 spot, hear my words! Valhalla!
Here we go Josh! #goUSA
Good luck guys!
I’m cracking open a coors light as i type.
#Americandream.
Not bud then?
Last minute tinkering guys. Got Messi as capo on 22 (or 11 as it is now!!!) –
Got Lukaku / Hazard as options tomorrow.
Could throw it on Bedoya tonight and Luk tomorrow?
What do we all think???
I’d gamble on 11 points i think mate for Lukaku probably.
(I gambled on 13 points and it paid off, just).
My dilemna: Would you put Bentelab in for a player on 6 points?
Stick with what you have got
Stick.
I gambled! I’m having a mare so far with 80 odd so I’m throwing it all on Lukaku to rescue the situation tomorrow. You know cos he’s been so reliable in FPL all year :oogle: That’s unless my Yank goes off on one which I doubt!
I’ve heard the Belgian players actually pass to Lukaku, so at least he’ll have a chance of big points.
Hang on. Scrap that. Mirrallas is from Belgium isn’t he?!
That was my exact first thought! Oh well at least he ain’t got Deulofeu on the other side :blind alley:
Brave move. 80 odd is hardly a shite score, is it?
It is NIN, sorry if you are on less! #don’tjump 😉
91 currently. Might take out Ozil (4) for Bentaleb, if the latter starts of course.
Cool, 91 is good mate. May as well make that trade I think. Anyone else left to go?
90 or above right now is about where you at the very least want to be. Thinking many of us will hit 100 or more.
No that’s my lot, just Bentaleb to come in. I was expecting round 1 to be my toughest of the group stage as a lot of my players have their hardest game first. There’ll be no jammy points from Iranians or Hondurans or whatever the shite after this round! Haha.
Exactly Mito and hence my gamble. If it works then I’m in the 100’s, if not I’ll probably end up back where I am now in the 80’s having had 3 go tomorrow and lost 8/9 points through ditching Messi assuming Luk just gets 2 or 3. Hoping he gets 2 or 3 goals though!
91 lol would love that score, don’t think ive even hit 70 yet
So my 109 is looking ok?
:big-lol:
Your 109 looks great, you get the chair right behind me. #110
Lol, got one last chance. If Bentaleb plays may put him in instead of DiMaria’s 5 points.
Have you got any left?
Same situation Mutts, I have a defender with 5 I will replace and a mid who has not played. So I drop to 105 with 2 left or 110 with one left.
Your better than me then, if i drop the 5 i’m 104 + Bentaleb. Still cant complain as i don’t have a single clean sheet between 4 defenders and the Keeper!
That didn’t take long #Deuce
Ghana will win this game.
They won’t. #Ibelievethatwewillwin
Unlucky to not score a second, unfortunately it was left to Altidore
If Altidore can play at the World Cup there’s hope for us all yet Mito! #takeyourboots
Don’t think he will be playing anymore.
Did you take your boots?!
