World Cup 1st Group Phase Live Match Chat
Welcome to World Cup 1st Group Phase Live Match Chat. The long four year wait is over and so is the tinkering for the first set of matches. We hope that you are happy with the 15 players you ended up with, but even if you decided against playing the fantasy version we still encourage you to partake in the chat below. We are sure there will be plenty to discuss that doesn’t always involve whether you should get assist points for a shot that was blocked or your striker really did touch the ball a la Kane before it went in. Predictor games, brackets, bets on the golden boot are all welcomed here. And yeah, even old school footy chat for those that who are just watching the games for fun and just want to talk about the Joga Bonito.
So that you have them to hand, we will post a screenshot of the substitution rules, transfer allotment, wildcard, boosters and of course we will have times and dates for all matches in this, the first of three group phases/rounds/fixtures or whatever you want to call it.

Good luck to most of you, but not all of you for this 1st phase of fantasy World Cup!
My prediction was 2-2 but the show went to be bigger than expected.
I feel sorry for you if you missed that game tonight.
If you missed Spain v Portugal I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but that ain’t one!
Many parties around my house celebrating Ronaldo’s hatty :beer:
Anyone with Ronaldo well I missed that one

A good friend of mine runs Fanager, a daily fantasy game, and it’s relaunching for the World Cup. It’s in BETA mode right now and so they have a few free entry games with a £500 prize pot for each. They need a few people testing it and so have asked if I’d pop it on here. They’re also after any feedback so if you have any please drop it here.
It’s dead easy to use, I did my 5 teams for tonight in about 10 minutes. There’s no budget so you just select your 7 players and that’s it.
Defo worth a quick go with that prize pool and of course free entry.
I am in. Cheers init :thumbup:
**Thanks Init (and guys at Fanager)**
Init is obviously more pedantic than me. I had three teams done in two minutes.
Nice one. I’m in.
Can change cpts etc now
And yes you can put the armband back on a player if you change your mind later.
Don’t think you can reverse a played one once confirmed SZ, even before the deadline? I just switched and confirmed and if I select the last one his C options done one.
I still can. Did Mitro>Eriksen, confirmed it and Mitro still available. And yes, I’m still in Day 1, pts showing etc
Hold on, not a PLAYED one, people were asking yesterday about pre-playing changes, lol. We’re both right.
Yeah, spot on. What you said read like you were saying you could reverse that small decision before the deadline. Did you write the McD rules for them?
Last time I checked Mitro hadn’t played yet ya cheeky bugger. Ivan writes FIFA stuff ROFL
Good man, nearly forgot! It seems to be going slowly from a Fantasy POV this one. In terms of having players play I mean. Probably because the last few we’ve played (the Euros and the 21’s etc) had far less teams so the frequency is higher. God knows what the next ones will be like when they extend them to 64 teams or 90 million or whatever the stupid plan is. We’ll have a player every 4 days or something.
I’m not playing when it’s 48, we’ll have countries we’ve never bloody heard of
They’d have to give us a full 15 to use each round just to maintain any semblance of interest / involvement.
