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!

Thank you.
Solid start then -McDs I Had Neymar and Oscar so 41 points.
No assist for Fred for penalty?
No assists for being fouled.
I believe they only reward traditional assists on the mcds game like a simple pass.
Damn, I’ve changed my cappo from Fred to Silva for tomorrow’s game but looks like I can still keep fred’s 4 points, not that I will probably keep them.
Well, that was an exciting opener. Captained Neymar so pleased with his returns, though Dani Alves will probably find himself on my bench (unless the next two guys are equally poor).
Think Brazil deserved the win on the whole, though that was an outrageous dive from Fred to win the penalty. I felt bad for Croatia but they didn’t really create enough to look like threatening Brazil- they’ll be better with Mandzucic back, though Jelavic didn’t do too badly.
Not bad Pippin. I’m on 20 points with my captain still to play though
Here’s hoping he outscores Neymar…
Cheers Josh! Good luck to you 😉
josh, why didn’t you just captain neymar first. you could always switch later if you wished anyways.
Not being able to view our leagues is really starting to piss me off, i wanna see everyone’s teams dagnabbit!!
Haha same here NIN. And what’s everyone doing about Cesar? Leaving him in or switching him out?
leaving in
Nin – calling it as it is – annoying isnt it
I suppose it depends who the backup keeper is. I didn’t bring Cesar in myself so i’m of no use there. Cillessen at 3m was too good to turn down, he’s my first choice. The missing leagues fiasco is unbelievable, what a load of shite.
Ive the Greek lad as No 2 – six is ok to leave Cesar in
I have Karnezis as well. Looks like he’s staying.
I think he’s everyone’s backup keeper, haha.
why doesn’t neymar get 3 points for playing minutes?
it shows 3 points for playing bonus but no 3 points for playing minutes like for other players.
not being able to see the leagues sucks. not being able to see other teams sucks even more.
It does show his playing minutes: 3 for playing minutes, 10 for goals scored, 1 for attempts rate over 80%, 1 for balls recovered, and -1 for yellow card. So that equals 14.
But how does he not get any points for balls delivered into the area? He must have put in at least 7 or 8 crosses and half of those were from corners alone.
Josh – I was thinking the same about Oscar, he fired plenty of crosses/passes in there but got diddly squat for it.
Whoops, he got 1 point.
Rakitic got a point for firing 2 balls into the box so strange
Maybe the crosses into the box only count if they’re received/ touched by a player on the same team.
Would explain the lower point allocation as a lot of the crosses were cleared by defenders.
Just a guess though. Could be wrong.
it’s showing playing bonus against his name for,me. while playing minutes for luiz. -_-
and only 5 against goals scored. total still 14.
Neymar 28 (c)
Oscar 13
Siva 6
not a bad start I guess. How many points did Alves get?? I replaced him with Silva in the last second, hope it wasn’t a bad decision.
Krisah – Alves scored 5. He was on 6 but they took one away not long after the final whistle.
Thanks!
Oh dear. Not my best ever captain choice then!
