WORLD CUP STARTING TEAMS AND INJURIES

[woody123]

I expected Ivanovic for Serbia.

[Striker]

Are FFS right in excluding Milinkovic-Savic who had a great season with Lazio. The previous manager's unpopularity which lead to his sacking was in part due to his refusal to play young Sergej.

[quizking]

They had better not be - he's nailed on in lots of my teams, and (i think i saw something like) 13% of other teams in the telegraph game as the value pick (Only 0.8% in the s*n game, but then it's a different format ... and played by lots of s*n readers). World soccer and racing post both have him in their starting elevens too.

[mad dog]

Never trust a predicted line up where they list the left back first. Always right back for me, gets right on my nerves that does! Then seem to randomly sort itself out for Belgium!

I’d go with the bookies favourites for England. Maguire over Cahill, Rose at LWB, Henderson and Dier alongside Alli, with Sterling behind Kane.

Southgate has told dier/Hendo only one of them will play

I really hate ffs with their predicted line ups. Whole site needs shutting down.

He hasn’t has he (not those exact words).

[Zimmerman]

"I think we will only want to play with one 'pivot'," said Southgate.

"I would be amazed if the two of them are not important figures for us during the tournament, but there is clearly the possibility they might not both play in every match.

"It is a key decision, but that is management, isn't it? You either select players, or you choose your system and pick the best people to fit into it. They are the tough calls."

Southgate has preferred to play a system with three central defenders, two wing-backs, a holding midfielder, three attacking midfielders and a lone striker.

[Edmondson]

Has also said Hendo can play 8. Dier holding, Hendo to the right, Alli to the left. I think first game he goes with that bit of security.

I think FFS are wrong on this one Striker (and several others, going by my own research). 95% sure he’ll start.
Bit of a concern that he wasn’t directly involved in any of their 5 goals the other day mind!
Despite the fact he seems an obvious bargain in TFF, I’ve generally gone for other cheap options tbh.

[Ashers]

That Uruguay defence looks wrong as well, every other site seems to have different defenders.

I really wanted him in my teams, i stuck with him in the telegraph as he's just so cheap and i can't replace him however i'm concerned that it's either Matic or Savic and if it is, then it's Matic.

LFC, ESPN and BBCSPORT have confirmed on their twitter pages that Mohammed Salah will definitely play for Egypt tomorrow.

Does this make people nervous now about starting with uruguay defensive blocks?

Not unless Egypt have an Egyptian Firmino and/or Mane hidden in their ranks.

[Maldini]

I suspect Godin or Gimenez will test how fit he is pretty early on.

[ragamuffin]

XI #RUS vs Arabai Saudí: Akinfeev; Fernandes, Kutepov, Igansevich, Zhirkov; Gazinskiy, Zobnin, Samedov, Golovin; Dzagoev, Smolov.

I find realsport101.com to be useful and pretty good for lineup predictions.

[lfc71]

So the only 2 russian defenders they had in the price list (up until today) arn't even starting

Bit harsh me thinks,i don't play their format of fantasy football but regulary visit the site for info,...i gotta say on a lot/most occasions i find it more up to date than here with a lot of their articles,& people are a lot more open with their strategies/selections & dare i say more helpful than on here where certain posters are secretive & throw out red herrings at times.
Just my opinion.

[madterrier]

One of the two isn't even in the Russia squad and is at home watching on TV. The other is nearing his 40th birthday. S*n = muppets.

Croatia forward Nikola Kalinic sent home from 2018 World Cup after refusing to play against Nigeria

[shakermeister]

Danilo out with thigh injury , Fagner reported to take his place .

[jimmy ching]

Hummels not playing, Fox News Sports

[Ernie1982]

Danilo out with thigh injury , Fagner reported to take his place .

Anyone know how long he's out from?

[Zimmerman]

Whilst Danilo isn’t great, Fagner is worse; so he should get back in when fit.

[Lfcni1986]

This Sterling gossip likely to be true, would swap out for muller tomorrow if so

[plevna1963]

Ozil & Khedira dropped.

[plevna1963]

SAMARA, Russia (AP) — Uruguay defender Jose Maria Gimenez has been ruled out of the team's final World Cup group match because of a right thigh injury.
