God defence is such a nightmare to choose. Even if the defender isn't at fault for a goal he still gets docked points.

which one are you? Globalists FC?



good call. I shuffled my team around, used the wildcard and now it looks like this:

GK: Ochoa (MX)
Defence: Godin (URU), Varela (URU), Kimmich (GER)
Midfield: Golovin (RUS), Eriksen (DEN), Cheryshev (RUS), Coutinho (BRA)
Attack: Griezmann (FRA), Costa (ESP), Mertens (BEL)

Bench: Ospina (COL), Joohoo (KOR), Ebuehi (NIG), Xhaka (SUI)

oooh the wildcard! that might save me from my horrible choices lol. it’s now or never.

yeah, flores might not start against france now that guerrero returns— either he or farfan will sit out, and i think farfan is the better shooter. flores might play, but it’s not a sure bet. and they’re playing france! very long odds.

yeah im the globalista. someone has to be these days of rising nationalisms ha ha.

poland lost this first half

[!@#$%!]

oh, poor poland!— daaaamn

that 2nd goal was HARSH. legal, apparently. i’d say barely so.

[!@#$%!]

gonna make a little prediction. maybe it’s obvious but has to do w/ the leagues.

cronaldo will not start the next couple of games. portugal should save him for the important matches. he’ll start in bench and be brought on if needed.

yes/no/maybe? otherwise i’ll buy him now ha ha ha ha

[!@#$%!]

in a hurry and with few minutes to go set up new team


costa(spa)(c) guedes (por) lukaku (bel)
silva (por) sanchez (uru) meza (arg) busquets (spa) debruyne (bel)
maguire (eng) gimenez (uru) nacho (spa) varane (fra)
courtois (bel)
—
a nigerian keeper + defender in the perma-bench

if there’s time i might check names and tweak more this desperate improvisation

nope, no more time

ps sorry germans i think jogi loew has lost his marbles

My post Wildcard team:

Ronaldo (Po); Costa (Sp); Suarez (Ur)
Golovin (Ru); Gallinsky (Ru); Isco (Sp); Nandez (Ur); Gallardo (Me)
Kimmich (Ge); Alba (Sp); Godin (Ur); Danilo (Br); Meunier (Be)
Idohu (Ni); Halldorsson (Ic)

Also maximum captained. Most of my heavy hitters play on the same day so it takes away the dillemma of which one to choose.

[!@#$%!]

i regret not managing the budget to get cronaldo because that beast is gonna beat all the golden boot records

[!@#$%!]

Portugal may have celebrated like they beat Spain, but they did only get a draw. Hardly a position of strength that might justify them leaving out their best player.The 1 and 2 spots in that group will likely come down to goal difference now. So Portugal will (like Spain) be going all-out attack in both their remaining games. Plus Ronaldo himself will want the Golden Boot. If he doesn't start the next two games, and frankly any that Portugal are involved in, I'll be amazed.

I've not used my wildcard yet so everything is the same for me, except that I took B. Silva out for Busquets. I've also kept Griezmann in but they've got Peru next so I'm a bit nervy about that decision. You'd also think Suarez will get a couple of goals against the Saudis. Then again, the way my luck is he'll score an own goal and get sent off.

Now that I think about it, had I participated in the fantasy league the perfect name for my team would have been F.C. Ivanka. For obeeious reasons, you follow.

[_tunic_]

For this round I transferred both of my goalies, because my original picks weren't actually playing. So now I've got Halldorson of Iceland and Akinfeev of Russia as the sub.
And I maxed in on my captain, De Bruyne. Let's hope he doesn't get the red card :P

[!@#$%!]

demonyo is massacring us today

[demonrail666]

I only hope the Maximum Captain does what I think it does: 'automatically makes the highest scoring player from your final playing 11 as the captain'. That's what it says in the How To Play section. So Tunic, I'm not sure it actually matters if you captain DeBruyne or not.

Winner the absolute worst game of the tournament is the Uruguay-Saudi game. Swear they've doubled the length of matches just for this game. Ah well, gets me some points for the league.

[!@#$%!]

uruguay is king of the 1-0

i picked a defender and a midfielders and they got me some clean sheets and the assist.

will be interesting to see what happens vs. russia. i’d check the water supply wherever it is they’re staying.

portugal disappointing for me also. after the goal they basically sucked and let morocco get up in their faces.

bernardo silva got me aaaaaaaaaaaall of one point being subbed out at 58 minnutes lololol, but wonderboy guedes got me also the 2 miserable points. not the attacking powerhouse i had been expecting.

Something DEFINITELY going on with that Russian team.

Boy am I glad I changed Silva for Busquets! He's gonna do shit in his game now haha
