Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Day 6
Ok, so today could be interesting! Group stage 1 ends and Group stage 2 begins. If only it were that simple… Just so we are all perfectly clear here there are three games today. The first and the last ones are in stage 1, the Brazil game in the middle is actually the start of stage 2. Now how McDonald’s choose to handle this quirk could be anybody’s guess and judging by the way they have handled the whole fiasco so far we are not holding our breath on this being a smooth transition! Please keep us updated throughout the day if anyone notices anything to indicate that Group stage 2 is open on their site.
As for the games themselves we begin at 5pm with Belgium vs Algeria. This could be a game with plenty of fantasy interest, some intentional and perhaps some not! Hazard, De Bruyne, Lukaku and the Belgian defence all proved popular choices prior to the tournament so it will be interesting to see if they can deliver on that promise. The Algerians inadvertently attracted equal attention due to their plethora of £1m squad fillers. Judging by the amount of botched formation changes though, a lot of people could be cheering on the Algerians!
It’s then back to the hosts Brazil as they and Mexico face off for their second games of the tournament at 8pm. Last time out Neymar and Oscar delighted while Fred frustrated but can the golden boys shine again against a Mexico side who also began the tournament with a decent victory over Cameroon.
We round the evening off and indeed stage 1 at 11pm as Russia and South Korea take their tournament bows. It’s difficult to think of two countries who have courted as much political controversy as of late so whether this encounter will provide some light relief for their fans we shall see but one things for certain, whatever the outcome, the Koreans will be informed with glee of their glorious 5 – 0 victory.
Lukaku off.
Oh no. I did a very stupid thing today. I swapped my captain from Messi to Lukaku. I wanted a roll of the dice to make this afternoon more fun. I think I’m going to vomit….red, yellow and black.
Come on KDB!!!
santiago chile
Thats the one aleksis. :thumbup:
Are vertonghin & lukaku really on 0pts? Anyone else have them?
All players in that game are cuurently showing zero Seren.
I’m sure most will change but Lukakus score might not end up much higher!
I saw both were subbed out. Ok I will hang on abit. Got a Russian defender I can sub in ( if he is playing).
Brazil: Julio Cesar, Dani Alves, Thiago Silva (c), David Luiz, Marcelo, Paulinho, Fred, Neymar, Oscar, Ramires, Luiz Gustavo
Tacos: Ochoa, Rodriguez, Marquez (c), Herrera, Layun, Dos Santos, Moreno, Guardado, Peralta, Aguilar, Vazquez
Thanks B.
You’ll be pleased to know (as a Potty 32 group rival) i’ve just had 2 shockers. Lukaku and Alderwotsit into my team for a combined 10 points leaving the points bank. Not much coming back in its place.
Not long until we get to see where we stand. :hippo:
Ah sweet!
No Russian cover left?
I have Russian DEF and FWD left.
Could replace Di Maria/Vargas.
No mate. I’m all out of players.
A long way to go yet though. 😉
