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.

Good luck!
Took a hit and keeping the WC for the next round. Max Cap used. Should I play the BB or leave it for the semis?
You can only play 1 of them Ivan and I’d probably play BB in this one mainly just in case you can’t actually fill the bench next time out.
Not really the thread, but I though might as well get a RMT in of my own. So, please, dissect away.
For some reason the pic upload keeps failing, so here’s the team. Meanwhile, I’ll keep trying to upload the pic.
Pickford Hennessey
Lovren Davies Mee Bailly Cedric
Neves Keita Sanchez Cairney Eriksen
Vardy Tosun Aguero
Looks a decent start, a lot will change in the next 4 weeks though so I’ll not get into any in-depth analysis yet! Does however seem a little too much spent on defence at first glance but I’m not yet familiar with this years prices yet, so could be wrong!
I’ll admit to not knowing much about Neves, Cairney and Keita, I’m sure that will change in the coming weeks!
I agree with Rosco Nike.
Keita interests me. Seemed to score every time I checked RB’s games last season. Although he could also get as many red cards as goals.
The Hennessey one will need monitored. Palace have signed Guaita from Spain. Check pre-season games for news.
Elleffcee I got a failure notice from your email address …
Elleffcee@fantasyfootball247.co.uk
It’s not active apparently. Will alter once we have a new one that is.
Use this – contact@fantasyfootball247.co.uk
I sent it to his old email address. Will that do?
No idea if he still has it or which one you used so I’d probably forward it to the contact@ one just in case.
Done
Got it Hats.
Re FF247 leagues:- there seems to be a problem with the e-mail address. Could you mail me on elleffcee@gmail.com
Cheers.
Looks like the gmail address us working folks. I will get around to replying to you all.
Cheers.
Just messing around with a first draft 442 team and came up with this which aint too shabby. Young is a place holder.
Enjoy the football today (and tomorrow ) lads
Not bad not bad, whats your thinking about formation? Looking at the prices 442 could be promising until some bargains materialise!
Hi Rosco.
It’s early days so I have not got a clue about formation.
I am just happy to have a logged a team in.
Just looking back to last season and nearly didn’t sign up so it’s good to make that step
Hi horse.
Enjoy the football yourself mate.
Some nice names in there. I have no idea what I’m going to do yet. Probably a good thing.
Hey TGP.
You well?
The World Cup has been amazing. hasn’t it?
I saw a tweet from a Scot saying because Southgate is such a top bloke he would be ‘broadly tolerant’ if England won the World Cup. Brilliant!!
Yeah we’ve kicked him across the border already 😉
I like Southgate and I’ve never been anti-English in my life so I can watch England objectively.
The World Cup has been brilliant. On course for one of the best in my lifetime.
Any thoughts on this WC squad? I’ll probably play my max capo chip.
No love for België??
It’s the gamble I’m taking. However, I’ll be quite surprised should Belgium progress.
I don’t know. I am sticking with my original prediction.
The Cup will stay in Europe.
Gold-England
Silver-Croatia
Bronze-Belgium
Not a fan of your keeper rotation there Kop but I’m guessing that’s budget driven. You could always switch Claesson to Gazinsky and that’d allow Pickford to come in and possibly Lloris. I’d have said Pickford and Allison but you already have 5 Brazilians.
Cheers Init. Just about to board a flight. Will hopefully get to take another look at the team once I land. Kids permitting!!
I’d do it now. You know, just in case………. 😉
Or I could just leave it as is 😉
Hey lads, which 2 mins would you fill up 14m with? Got Maguire for now, can upgrade to Tripper. Please suggest.
*mids
Ekdal and Rakitic?
Golovin and Lingard if you can shave 0.1m somewhere. Apparently Cheryshev is expected to start tomorrow if not.
