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!
Oh man, gotta feel sorry for Egypt there!
Lost my Hegazy cleanie at the last moment too and not even for a Suarez goal. Booooooo lol
Egypt played very well and probably deserved a draw but I had Gimenez so I’ll take it.
double Uruguay at the back and no Hegazi – my heart bleeds for the Egyptians :hippo:
Same here!!
I had Hegazi. Yellow card as well as CS snatched away. And cheers Tabarez!!! Took deArrasceta off on the 59th minute
They still have a good chance to go through, just need to win Russia… Everyone will win Saudi Arabia!
Do how or when can you change the captain?
I believe you can only change at the end of the day when all the games have finished playing.
You have to change it daily prior to the first KO. You just click on the relevant player and press Make Captain or whatever it says.
Actually that’s not true, looks like it’s just prior to his particular game. Was thinking CL.
It might be true
Group B hasn’t kicked off yet but I can’t put my cpt on them, must be before the 1st game of any given day.
It is SZ, I was correct the first time, it’s after the last game and before the first the following day as per CL.
Ah ok thanks so probably after the last game tonight
Look at the snip in the article above. Manager transfers and captain changes after the last game of the day
Have C on Varela so got 12, have Ney, Lewa and Griez so should change right? Atleast one should score goal 😛
Yeah you would think so
Yes snookie. I say 10 points is your break even here
Got me some points! Hurrah! Double Uruguay with Varela and Muslera (c) 20pts but I’ll be bouncing that armband! I was getting nervous at the end!!
Well that’s not the best start 8 points two played one captain down.
It’s alright just move on to another captain
Question: i forgot to move the armband before the first deadline, so I have it on Kane. If I switch it off of him to Griezmann will I be able to put it back on Kane for his match if I want?
Yes, you can change your captain for every matchday.
Ivan, thanks for the response. I realize that it can be changed each round. My question is whether or not the armband will be able to be put back on a player that it was taken off of in the current round.
Well, if the player has not played yet it shouldn’t be a problem but not 100% sure. I am still learning. It’s not my cup of team this game, just wasting time while waiting for the new FPL season.
Pancho, once you have taken the armband off a player you can’t put it back if the next one flops. You have to pick another player yet to play.
That’s not what he means Elle.
Yes, essentially.
