So we will witness 3 “LIVE” draws with a 10 minute cooling off break between each one.
Once a groups matches are complete I will also next to any given match pop in brackets its code for you to create your H2H. Simples.
And for the unlucky losers…
Now those of you who were defeated in The Last 16, I your leader am giving you an olive branch that will keep you and your fellow Losers competitive until the semi-finals are over.

Morning all,
I’m really struggling with my team selection now – I almost feel it’s worth choosing the teams you think will do well and going with them, otherwise all teams will be very generic and also a lot of the time your strikers will cancel out any defensive points etc. Discuss.
Morning Cookie. Also struggling a lot with my selection, but I’d have to disagree with you about just going with the team you think will win. In FPL strikers absolutely cancel out defenders (unless they get attacking returns), and vice-versa, so unless you are hedging your bets you wouldn’t play both when they are against each other.
Here though, at least in my case, I’ve hardly had any points for clean sheets, and yet had many defenders posting scores of +10 due to blocked shots and recovered balls. Because of this I’d actually say that, if anything, having defenders playing against good attackers is a bonus as they are much more likely to rack up said points, and same goes for keepers. So if I had Neymar for example, I’d also think nothing of playing a Colombian defender.
Hi Cookie.
I think we’re all struggling to get ‘that’ squad. Having a large spread of players like in previous rounds doesn’t seem to be doable now, monetary wise. I think it’s best to go with the few ‘obvious’ picks and base the rest of the squad on how we see the ties going. A 17 man squad seems to be the most we can go for without ending up with a slightly iffy squad, with 15 or 16 players being optimal, i think.
Selecting midfielders is giving me the most trouble so far. There’s so many shite options, lots of decent ones and then a few obvious ones. It’ll be difficult to get a group who’ll differ from our opponents mid’s. Kinda the same with defenders too so i think this round will be decided on striker picks more so than any other round so far.
Safe to say there’ll be some close battles in the Perfect&Dodgy 32 tournaments. Good luck to all.
Confound it, I’m a measly 0.5 away from a team I am pretty happy with. I don’t want to lose anyone from it though, arrrgh.
I had that issue y’day!!
I hear what you say about performing defenders still getting pts without a cs. I’m half tempted to load up on Dutch defenders though!! Big risk as they play last.
Yo….
So 4 striker or 3,,,?
How many out of 23 have you got playing..?
1,2, or even 3 goalies….?
Rojo banned…anyone else..?
Is Neymar fit….or will he have a nervous breakdown….remember Ronaldo.’98..?
Can anyone afford any Germans…..like their Cars …pricey, but Quality…?
it’s likely to be 15/16 playing for me Bigp.
re goalies, just the one or two…could be just the one. The Gerrmans are a tricky one to figure out – looked very ordinary vs Algeria, defence slow etc – but we all know they have the ability/mentality to get the job done.
Biggy don’t want to give too much away with Tekno out there lurking in the shadows, but atm I’m considering just 2 strikers even. If that’s not against the spirit of fantasy football I don’t know what is!
I think this round I prefer a great 15/16 , rather than a mediocre 18/20, the bloody trouble with this world cup is that the mediocre are getting the points Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it aint about stats no more, its about getting the correct chaos team lol
Hi NIN,
I’m gagging to ask for an RMT, but with the competition it just seems I’d be giving an advantage to Mutts, which is a shame.
Yep! Haha. We’re on our own this time round. It makes it a lot more difficult but a lot more exciting at the same time. The inclusion.exclusion of even 1 player could make all the difference.
Boooooooooo
I’ll tell you this much
15 players, including 2 keepers.
knew you’d be lurking in the shadows!!
One thing is for sure, our teams will not be the same, i guarantee it!
#muttsonamission
Change of plan.
1 Keeper, only 14 playing.
By my reckoning, i’ll either score 60 or 160.
