Fantasy World Cup Live Match Day 14
This evening sees the culmination of Groups E & F. It’s Group F to kick us off as Argentina meet Nigeria – Argentina have already qualified without being anywhere near their best, but a win for Nigeria would see the Africans secure top spot. However, should Nigeria lose and Iran can beat Bosnia then it’s all down to goal difference as to who goes through with the Argies.
The late night matches in Group E should also provide plenty of excitement and tension. The French have pretty much qualified – only an unlikely last game disaster and heavy defeat would see les Frogs eliminated. The more likely battle is for the other qualification place with both Ecuador and the Swiss battling to proceed – Ecuador currently hold the position but may well need to beat the French as one would expect the Swiss to defeat Honduras.
Breaking news…. Fifa have charged the goofy twat with biting. It apparently will be resolved before Uruguays next game on Saturday.
Unbelievably, the minimum ban is only 2 games.
Kick him out for life.

Morning all,
So the Argies and French are in action later, i take it there is some interest here for all. Anyone still got there captain to play?
Is there anybody here?
thinking of Messi, Photek. You?
thinking of bringing Zaba in Cookie for Blind who got 7, Argentina need to show abit more after their last game, if it wasn’t for the magic of Messi they wouldn’t have won but because of that it would be a risk to captain Messi over Neymar for me.
I wouldn’t take the band off Neymar mate
Hi fellas
Question. How many times can you swap the armband. Likewise how many times can you swap a player out of one position. Ie replace then replace again
Thanks
Hi all,
Just wondering when the FPL game will begin. Does anyone happen to know?
hi mate, nice to see you – I would think end of July, early August.
I think TotalFPL has a timer running there, so you can always check that.
Just wondering what everyones cut off point is before making a sub in the McDs game?
I chopped 7 last game week for a handsome return of 3
Depends on the players remaining, but 7 generally.
Cheers Tekno, i got Zab on the bench and i think he’ll get good points, just wondering on other peoples cut off point
photek, depends also on who you are competing against too. In POTTY D, the margins are sufficiently tight that I’m very hesitant to ditch a player with a reasonable score. For example, last game week, I had Iniesta (6), replaced by Pjanic (6), replaced by KDB (5), replaced by Bentaleb (4), replaced (desperately) by Bedoya (4). Losing two points seemed annoying, but now looking at how close our group is, it could make the difference between getting through or not- I would tread carefully- 7 is not a bad score!
My benchmark is 7 for defenders and keepers, and 5 for midfielders.
In second round i ditched a midfielder with 5 points without any backup, and i got burned.
You should have decent back up as well before you ditch someone with a 7.
cheers guys.
Yeah Pippen it is suitibly tight in Potty A, i took out 2 players with combined 5 pts this morning and have dropped from 1st to 3rd now.
My back up B is Zabaleta, which is why i’m giving it thought because he has the potential to score well.
how about a formation change? if you don’t have all your mids/forwards performing or playing yet, stick in Zabs. If he does well, keep him- if not, ditch him and switch the formations back?
I’m worried to do a formation change because of previous problems on here with the wrong players getting subbed out. I’d be fuming if it took Neymar out on 32 pts
Just a reminder that the World Cup will soon be taking a step back as the MLS reconvenes after it’s haitus. Don’t forget to update your teams tonight MLSers. In just over 12 hours the world will be tuning into Montreal vs Vancouver.
is Palacios allowed to play against Switzerland?
