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!
NIN
Haha. Check out the current global #1 in the Mirror game, absolutely shite squad!!
MidnightJonah
doubles league??? explain that one to meh chaps
NIN
Jonah – It’s where two managers team up and run a team.
MidnightJonah
so two guys arguing over whats best for one team ??? sounds like a bag of laughs lol
NIN
Yep, either that or one manager making all the decisions and the other just slip streaming hahaha.
MidnightJonah
dont make any sense to me lol, now 2 managers with two teams with combined scores thats the ticket
, think i give that a miss , besides no-one loves a sheep shagger
NIN
Hahaha, you said it! All the ruffling and bleating would be too much of a distraction anyway.
MidnightJonah
lol
chins and bellies
Nin, you mean like Elle and Init? 😉
I’ll leave it to you to figure out which is which!
inittowinit
I think we know the answer to that Chins :hippo:
Bigpopz
Hey guys…
When can I change my captains armband…..currently on Neymar…
Can I put it on Iniesta for today’s game, but without losing Neymar ‘s double points..?
NIN
Hey popz. You can change it any time you like but cant change it back to Neymar if everyone else whiffs. You’ll also lose the double points so Neymar’s score would be reset to 14.
The B
So we are allowed to change captain infinite times to the player who hasnt yet played?
DAMN! I did know that, and kept it on Messi right away.
NIN
Yep.
inittowinit
The B as I understand it you will still be ok to switch it to anybody that plays prior to Messi (there are 9 games) and still land it back on him if need be come the Argentina game as he is still classed as a player who hasn’t played at that point.
The B
initt
So i think for now it would be safe to place it on Vargas then?
inittowinit
Depends on your definition of safe but yes I’d say so 😉
photek
I’m sticking with Neymar personally.
imagine if you could change it back and forth, you’d pick the best captain each gw
The B
That would be pointless, and wouldnt be competitive. I dont like this subbing rule either, kind of ruins the whole point of predicting and choosing your best XI.
photek
I agree it’s a strange game with all this subbing lark.
chins and bellies
photek, i think thats a smart move. Surprised by how many are switching it from him. Neymars score is only likely to be trumped by someone getting a hatrick. Not that likely. Play the %’s mate.
jasprit
as its the first round, i guess I’ll take it easy and stick to neymar for the captain’s band. 28 shouldn’t be that bad right?
JimBobJay
I’m certainly sticking with Neymar for this round.
I’ll make a judgement on the next round based on how the defensive midfielders rack up pts with their blocked shots/balls recovered point totals.
photek
+1 what Jim says
Bigpopz
Captains…
So let me get this straight”…
I can swap the captain round every match until I’m happy with his points…
I’d be mad to take it off Neymar ..right.!
…but say I did,, … I’d lose his double bonus…but I could keep swapping to players that haven’t played
Untill I beat Neymars score…?
JimBobJay
Correct. It’d be a gamble taking it off Neymar I reckon. Correct.
JimBobJay
Neymar appears to have been deducted 2 pts since I checked this morning… Am I correct and if so anyone know why this has happened?
Bigpopz
Strange… Yet his info stats still add up to 14….. X 2 if captained …?
NIN
Odd.
Bongo
Neymar is back to 14 points again. Ha
I think Ronald himself is gonna have to come down and sort this shit out…
