World Cup 2nd Group Phase Live Match Chat
Welcome to World Cup 2nd Group Phase Live Match Chat. We now enter into the second round of games and some of us will have got off to a flying start. Others not so much, but however you are doing we still encourage you to partake in the chat. 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 2nd phase of fantasy World Cup!
is this team bad enough to wildcard or should i just do a simple move or two? kind of tempting to go cr7- cavani- costa in a wildcard
Certainly not in a mess duthers but you could switch a good few things around if you did.
Rússia vs Salah
Cheryshev and Dzyuba in the XI.
Maybe final decision.
Lewandowski/Mueller-Costa/Coutinho/
Good or bad?
Yeah, that’s OK mate
Hi Ivan.
Great moves I think mate.
I am also dumping Lewa, but am undecided between Costa or Salah.
I am not sure about Salah if he is fully fit. The trouble is that we’ll find out about this too late. Thanks to the McDonald crap to leave us with an hour gap between rounds.
I’ve just dumped Mueller but not sure I would get rid of Lew go on then do it
All done. Now I have 1.0 ITB.
I don’t mind to go -8 if there are any bright ideas.
Shouldn’t JRod be on bench???
Yeah but he is not playing before Sunday. This is just the setup for tomorrow.
I have both Costa and Coutinho so I guess you’re a genius!!
That was a snap 🙂
I’ve just wildcarded to this. Any glaring improvements I missed? Thanks
Why would you wc DMC after 71 points is there something I don’t know ??
I must admit I do like team two
Silvers, it’s done now anyway but the reasoning is that I didn’t like that much my 71 pts team for gw2 and 3. Also, there are a few players that have tourney form and that’s very important in short competitions. For example, Werner, James, Griez (despite scoring a penalty) don’t look good and others like Ronnie, Costa, Eriksen are looking much more promising. Then there’s Cavani who plays Saudi Arabia and the Swiss and the Mexicans who have successfully played vs the strongest team in their group meaning I can use them all in gw2 and gw3. Overall I get a better team on paper without hits. The only caveat here is that it’s weaker in terms of gambling captain possibilities (all my forwards play in the same day) but if Ronnie hits two or something like that I’ll be fine.
Ronnie plays 6 hours before Diego, just saying
Yes here what your saying , thought Mexico looked good & Ronnie certainly took the bull by the horns
Some logic in this so why not , just thought it’s not like you , not to think ahead when you set your team up but as you say form matters be interesting to know if your first team outscores your new one
SZ – and?
Silvers – yeah I did think ahead (I wasn’t planning to WC in gw2 – actualy I hadn’t a clear idea on when to) and I could live with that same team for one more round but with others banging in the points I thought I’d jump on them instead of ‘trusting’ the ones that’ve fail in gw1. There’s not much room for ‘wait and see’ in a short comp. Lukaku is the one I miss but it was him vs Tunisia/England or Cavani vs Saudi Arabia/Russia. Thx for your time looking at it.
No problem DMC & good luck for round two
That’s it, no going back. Now, let’s watch Golovin scoring a brace while we are discussing Ronaldo, Costa and Coutinho 😆
I left Max Cpt for the round of 16. It will be tough to select who is going to score more in the battle for the quarterfinals.
Just gotta follow your nose in this one!
