World Cup 2014 Live Match Chat Fantasy Football

Pens down! It’s finally here after probably the longest and most frustrating four days of our fantasy lives. Squads of 23, hourly rule changes and a raft of players you have never heard of have been just a few of the obstacles that we have all had to negotiate this week. It’s now time to sit back, relax and enjoy the actual action right here at FF247 Live Match Chat, an interactive chat which encourages you to keep involved and share your thoughts and emotions as the matches take place.
Tonight sees the start of World Cup 2014 as hosts Brazil hope to live up to national expectation as they meet Croatia.
Good luck everyone!

It says that you can change the captain as long as he hasn’t started to play. So if I captain Neymar and he blanks, I’m guessing I can still sub him out for a non-player but he will take the captaincy with him?

That’s a good question. I honestly have no idea

Ok, starting 11 finally done: (* denotes cheapo)
Cesar (Karnezis, Mbholi*)
Blind, Ramos, Srna (Rojo, Kombarov, Mesbah*, Montazeri*)
Di Maria, Busquets, Rodriguez, Delgado* (Lahm, De Bruyne, Bentaleb*, Beikzadeh*)
Neymar (C), Okazaki, Martinez* (Messi, Heydari*)
full time
Last question guys,
Baines or Merts?
Calvin Clyne
Close call, but probably Baines due to his attacking potential. After Portugal Merts has 2 nice fixtures though. Gonna sit on the fence for this one!

I wouldn’t really go for either. Both are in hard groups.

Anyone know who of Mbohli and Zemmamouche are Algerie’s 1st keeper?
Shadow
The 2nd one I think!

Found this on Wikipedia:
“Zemmamouche was also selected in the Algerian national team for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil as Algeria’s second-choice goalkeeper. He contested just one qualifier ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, filling in for Rais M’Bolhi against Burkina Faso.”
Shadow
Oh dear, I put him in after looking at that whoscored guide I think

Here Zemmamouche is expected to start:

This is confusing, I think we just have to bring in one of them and hope he starts.
Shadow
Going with Aguero, Fred and Drogba up front.
Bit worried about having none of the big 3!

Likewise Shadow, and i don’t think we’ll be the only ones.
