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!
Hey lads, is Costa in for Mitrovic worth -4? Got Cavani and Lukaku.
I’d say so. I’d basically done it myself for a -4 until I decided to WC and wiped the hit out.
Cheers Initt. Was tempted to WC, but I might just see this one out.
On wildcard
Can I make unlimited transfers throughout round 2 to take effect within the same round..?
Did you play it in round 3?
No just before round 2 started….quickest wildcard picks ever.
Not taking it too seriously…so thought I’d have some fun…lol
Actually just checked …and no.
In typical wildcard style I’ve just picked all the biggest point scorers from last round….oh and a trio of Russians in mid…lol
Hahahaha looks like we’ve been taking the same pills!!
Haha…yea keeps it fun tho.!
Well that escalated rather quickly!! Walking the dogs in the rain, tried out a WC team and thought sod it! Confirmed it and thought sod it again… I’ll play my B.B. too!! Shits and giggles just happened!
Me too Rosco
I played Maximum Captain, coupled with Lewa to Costa… Game on!!! :dance:
Have I missed a trick here by not playing WC seems quite a few have
It depends on your team, I had a few issues, a bunch of players I wanted and every bugger in my work ML played theirs and there’s cash on the line! In the end I thought I’d just make a team, see How it looked and the rest is history!! Not sure about hitting B.B. but thought why the devil not!
Who did you draft in Rosco was tempted by big Ron but didn’t in the end
Well if there cash involved why not
This is it!
That defence will bite me in the ass in the next round but that’s a week away!!
Just remember to sub Cavani in! 😉
No need I’m on a Bench Boost!
I’ll get me coat!
Will do if I go with him, thinking Ronaldo at the min!
You might want Cavani on the pitch for the armband, you cannot cpt a bencher mate.
Don’t think so Silvers
I’ve had a shocking first round so rage Wildcarded.
Not taking this too seriously so like Rosco thought it’d be fun 😉
I like it guys that’s the way to go I didn’t do so well my self Big but stuck it out good luck fellows
Today’s subs utterly useless, subbed in Lewa, JRod and that cheap Colombian defender in for some 2 pointers… Worked out well, now I have 1 less point compared to if I made no subs whatsoever… Glad I didn’t play the B.B. (KING) this round…
Hey don’t knock it. My subs gave me -6! Thank you very much Carlos Sanchez! 😆
Whoop whoop thats my 8ph paid for!! First thing to go right for my team! :bouncy-balls:
