World Cup Quarter Finals Live Match Chat
Welcome to World Cup Quarter Finals Live Match Chat. And then there were eight. Well, England plus another seven 😉 Some surprises along the way mixed with some familiar names progressing sees us arrive at the quarter-final stage with everything to play for. Like any tournament the continued presence of the home nation is generally seen as a positive, except by Spain of course who have already departed for the more familiar surroundings of Costa Blanca. We have also waved goodbye to Messi and Ronaldo and a new superstar has been born in Mbappe.
Sadly we said farewell to the gallant Japanese but with England facing Sweden, expectations continue to reach epic proportions. It’s coming home. Isn’t it?! Ah c’mon, let us dream!
We have the next two days off until we reconvene on Friday, so plenty of time to think over plans and transfers. Is it time to play a Chip or have they been utilised/wasted already?!
From a fantasy point of view we have 3 free transfers for this round and we can now own a maximum of five players from any one team.

Finally getting over yesterday’s madness and looking forward to the semis! Used my 5 transfers already but leaves me with an unusable bench ….got 0.9itb is it worth a hit to reinforce my bench …anyone I really need to get in or just leave it as is?
RedKev,
Meunier is suspended so I’d probably hit out Granqvist to get another playing defender.
Oh really…damn didn’t realise and just brought him in! Doh!!
Anyone you’d recommend….Stones/Maguire or is that England overkill?
I’d probably recommend Vertonghen I think mate, not sure you want 3 England at the back!
Cheers mate!
Why is he suspended Cookie? i thought yellow cards where whiped after the quarter-finals
From this point on they are but you could still get suspended for the semi in the quarters, which he managed to do.
aha i see thanks for claifying that
Morning all
Thoughts on this as a first draft? Do we think salah is a must?
Neves as this years GroB? How much is he mate? Lovely player but of an assist the assisted, a lot will depend if he can develop on his new found goal touch, yellows are a concern.
Yeah he’s a decent player but ultimately he’s a defensive midfielder who can score some stunning goals.
It’s not something he discovered recently. That charts is misleading, you see the two previous years he didn’t have any continuity in any Porto XI. He’s always been good for a long shot goal in club and country at youth level and that has now shown when given consistent play. If he can replicate that in the premier league that’s another issue. It will depend on being given the space. Not the same roll as Grob though I don’t think.
I meant in terms of being a cheap scoring FPL mid, not in a positional sense.
Got your point. Yeah, he’s good for the odd assist (namely from set pieces) too but, as you say, he often assists the assister so perhaps we need him to actualy score goals for any FPL points. Otherwise he’s a DMC as Smash said, not in the sense that he is me though!!
Looks mostly good. I don’t think TAA starts the season. He’s away at the World Cup, is very young. and Liverpool have loads of options at RB. Long don’t start at Burnley that’s Tarks and Mee. I would not double up anyway while they are in the Europa. I’m even less of a Zaha fan now he’s been reclassified he don’t score enough to be a striker
But will he go with Clyne from the off?
I think he will. Clyne will have a full pre season as was in the England squad before he got injured. Plus there’s Gomez so don’t see the need to rush TAA back into action. Time will tell
Mitro
Salah question – yes.
Actually dont mind that at all as a first attempt.
While we’re on the FPL chat for a moment, here’s the guy who I’m taking on:
(5.0M defender)
who is that Morrison ?
Bingo!
Great i will be on my watchlist
Hi All
I’m a new kid on the block ,just signed up. Saw a link for the fixture tracker and landed on your doorstep. Love FPL. Hope to get involved as much as possible.
My watchlist is massive , need to get the squad sorted,much deliberation ahead.
Cheers
Alright there Jok, welcome to FF247. We’re a friendly bunch (on the whole!)
Get involved, there’s plenty of FPL chat as we get ready for GW1 and beyond and hopefully you find it all useful and also help us out a bit !
My watchlist is also too big, but much may change over the next couple of weeks as we see manager’s preferences in friendlies and possible transfers.
Good to have you onboard mate.
Hi, Jok. Great to see a new face on site! Do get involved and throw your own two cents in when you want to.
