Fantasy World Cup Live Match Chat Last 16, Day 4
Welcome to the last 16 of the World cup – or the round of 16 as some choose to call it, or the first knockout stage. In fact, call it what you want – either way, it’s sudden death time – lose and you go home, outta here, offski and this will likely mean that your coach resigns or gets the chop or in England’s case receives a pat on the back and a “bad luck old chap”.
The final day of the round sees the Argies back on display as they attempt to neutralise the Swiss – that shouldn’t be tricky. However, with the likes of di Maria and Higuain quiet so far and Aguero injured (obviously), it’s been down to little Leo to carry the Argies through the group. Easy then, mark Messi out the game and you’ll be fine – how many times have we heard that before?! Switzerland’s only chance of course is if Shaqiri turns on the style and his hat-trick vs Honduras will leave him feeling on top of his game.
The round is concluded as Belgium take on the US of A. Could be a tough one to call this as Belgium have hardly set the tournament on fire as yet, while the Yanks have surprised many with their courage and adventure. Klinsmann of course, has been here before and knows what it takes to get through this stage of the tournament and there’ll surely be cries of “Mashed potato” and “You’re the man” if awesome talisman Dempsey can lead America through to the quarters, or quarter finals, or last 8, or the round of 8…..we’ve gone full circle here.
Should I call it a day on 106 points and head to bed, or swap 5 points for VanBuyten (note: this will come with an added risk of formation change, and I might end up losing JRod my captain there.
)
B)
The B – what has your competition got? I think the glitch is fixed. Just make sure you sub out, change formation, sub in. I have done it twice with no problems
I have no idea, my competitor is M&B in Potty league and i think i have a 10 points lead. Im playing another money league but have a 40 points lead there.
Would you lose the 5 points? I think i can sit tight leading for these knockouts, but VBuyten might improve my OR?
id do it. I really think they have fixed the glitch.
if your playing M&B, then assuming you are ZZ below so you can see where you are
Milk Busquets=343
ZZkarimzz=324
+1
Thanks Dream!
M&B 92 – 106 The B
Its too close to call.
same dilema B, do i take out 5 for van buyten and 5 more for Origi or stick with my 102?
i would for defender. Be on fence for forward
I would.
cheers guys
Belgium: Courtois, Alderweireld, Van Buyten, Kompany, Vertonghen, Witsel, Fellaini; De Bruyne, Mertens, Hazard; Origi
USA: Howard, Gonzalez, Bradley, Besler, Beasley, Dempsey (c), Bedoya, Jones, Zusi, Cameron, Johnson
I would not be hugely surprised to see the US win this.
Would you guys sub out Oscar 6 PTS For Bedoya …?
Not at all, unless you are in some tight situation where you are desperate for points.
Had Bedoya in Group Stages and i think the max he scored was 3 per match.
+1. He got 8 across the whole group stage, a major disappointment. I know he costs nothing but considering he starts every match…
same dilema JT i don’t know whether to stick with 102 or twist 10 points for 2 belgiums
Ooooh my game is getting closer.
Bigpopz, if you’re still about… Have you got any players left to play?
If no, then maybe a Van B 14 point haul could be enough.
But i still want the US to win. Aaarrrgh. Head hurts.
Thats ambitious.
VB is in then!!!!!
id like a van B 14 point haul chin, im just debating taking out a 5 point def for him, my ML rival is only 6pts behind me
Scrap that. I need a 16 point Van B to tie. And thats assuming Bigpopz isn’t doing the same switch. In which case, i’m out regardless.
Oh well.
Enjoy the game everyone!!
Tie would be useless Chins.
Even if you tie, Biggy will win cause he starts with B and you start with C. Just how Potty made you our Group’s leader for no reason!
So aim for that 17. Off you go to the church!!!
Is that really how it works?! So if you weren’t so caught up in your own self importance and just called yourself “B” instead of “The B” i’d have finished 2nd and wouldn’t have had to endure this hell?!
Thanks a lot!
😉
I’m changing my name to Aardvark
:big-lol:
Cheers for doing the line ups B ur like the new TJ! (Whisper that last bit!)I’m on 105 plus whatever Hazard gets so should be at least 120!!!!! 😉
Im the new TJ. They call me B.
Er…. “The” B. ?
If its B now then i demand a recount of our finishing positions!
Haha!!!
Its The B again. Dont want Biggy as my opponent any time soon, or ill protest! B)
Speaking of protests…. Do me a favour a go back and add up how many goal scored you have over the first 3 rounds?! I believe that was the correct way to settle a tie!
That’s right, i haven’t given up on this yet. I’ll take it to the court of appeal if i have to!
:hippo:
Ill count the goals scored once I have diffused the bomb (aka changed the formation)
Right. Veer is currently sitting on 78 points. I’ve got 89 with just Van Buyten left to play. To switch the (c) from Rojo (9) or stick, hmmmmm. No idea who Veer has as he’s not around much recently. What do you’s think lads, stick or twist? I’m leaning towards twist…
Stick mate
Cheers lads. Earlier Potty said Veer finished the group with 250 but the article says 259 (i’ve worked off this) so there’s a possibility he’s on 87. Still a stick? Or an iffy twist?
Two more points added for Veer. What to do, what to do…..
Stick
Nin,
Is that 11 point gap after you’ve subbed in Van B?
If so, i’d stick mate. I’d be surprised if Veer had 11 points more than Van B from this match. Even if he has Hazard/Van B i’d say you should be ok. Just.
Van Buyten is already on the pitch (due to some terrible, terrible management by myself) so 89 is what i’ve got with just one to go.
Definite stick then nin.
Right, that’s a unanimous stick so. Thanks lads.
P.S If you’s are wrong…. i WILL find you!! Even you chins! Ha!
I’ll be alright. Just need 6 hours of classroom training to get my concealed weapon licence! :biggun:
Concealed weapon you say? Okay so, maybe a kinda strongly worded letter will do in your case so. Ha
He is an Indian, its past his bed time already NIN. So dont count on Veer making any changes for Belgium vs USA.
My guess is that is Veer’s final score.
That’s a good point B, a very good point indeed!
