I created my team the other day and have been looking for a league to join, glad somebody on here created one.
The first victim arrives.
Be afraid, be very afraid my friend
Where did you finish on the Premier League one mate?
Unfortunately mate I wasn't in it but I finished with 2,388.
Enough to finish 4th in our league then.Might have to re evaluate how threatening you might be.
Alright...I'm in. Man this building a squad on a budget thing is hard.
It is.I done what I think is a rough idea and will look to see if I can make any changes before the deadline.
So I have a question that I couldn't figure out....what happens when a team goes out....you obviously won't have those players playing...so is it a matter of picking players that you think will likely go all the way to the finals?
Has anyone else picked their squad yet?
I'll post my first 11 after the deadline.
Fishing for information and inspiration FL?
By the way, I think this thread should be moved to the World Cup section?
Once you pick your first squad that is locked in for the group stages as far as i can work out.You then look at your squad and transfer accordingly after that.
I thought it was you picked players for a period of time, like for 6 days at a time. Like I have Belgian players but I have them on the bench because they're first game does not fall into the first game period of 12-17 June.Maybe I'm reading this wrong?
The first time you pick your 23 players that's for the whole group stage, so you can't transfer during the group stage(round 1-3). However, you can substitute players from within your squad during and inbetween rounds. Just be smart about it, because if you substitute a player during a round he'll loose all his points for that round. And if you want to have points you'd have to substitute in a player that hasn't played yet that round. So technically if one of your players played early in that round and scored badly, you could substitute and gamble on one of your squad players that still has to play that round.As far as after the group stage when teams are eliminated. There are unlimited transfers after the group stage and after each knock round. So you basically choose a new squad each time.For more, read the rules: http://en.mcdonalds.fantasy.fifa.com/rules
That clears it up, thanks.
My original link for the rules wasn't enough for you FL?
Neymar is my captain
My team:Only have 2 decent substitutes on the bench, the rest are awful, mostly Algeria and Iran players.
26 points for Oscar and 7 for Sideshow Bob was a good start for me
How's everyone doing then?53 points so far for me with 6 still to play their first game.
Sitting 3rd at the minute so well pleased with that.I see LL staying true to fantasy football form and is propping up the table.
Only just checked the league, pleasantly surprised to be joint top. I forgot to sub Sagna out for De Vrij yet again though.
I'm sure he'll say he's been too busy to concentrate on his team or some other sh*te excuse.
Picked what I thought was a good team - but they've been pure sh*te 'til now.Team: Boubacar BARRYToby ALDERWEIRELD; Konstantinos MANOLAS; Ezequiel GARAYJames RODRIGUEZ; Angel DI MARIA; Joao MOUTINHO; Eden HAZARD; Mesut OZILSergio AGUERO; Cristiano RONALDO (C)Is there any way one can see how all players are faring? I might be missing something but this league is a bit pish that way.
Looks a decent team on paper Mouse.
I've been too busy to concentrate on my team.
Sitting 3rd at the minute so well pleased with that.
I see Fantasy Football veteran Bad Boy is languising at the bottom as well.
Dropped some points the first round of the group games, but done really well in the 2 after that. Just finished all my transfers for the round of 16, went with a different approach.
I'm not sure I completely understand what I'm doing, so I changed my approach for the group stages. Spent all my money on starters and all my backups are crap.
