Fantasy Fussball - World Cup Game
The Guardian newspaper fantasy chairman piece mentioned there will be a world cup fantasy game. Any ideas what form this will take? Stockmarket system again?

Advice for the Guardian fantasy fussball
Hello to all. Wondered if anyone would be kind enough to offer some advice to a fortunate early pace setter.
I'm Manager of Uber alles and have been very lucky so far. Didn't have time to get rid of Ballack before 1st game and stuck with two strikers who wont make the second phase.
Should I make quick changes to maximise the number of games I have men in or wait to see how the tournament progresses.
I have Ronaldo for Portugal, but many other leaders have several Portuguese in anticipation of them slaughtering Angola. Should I buy in on Pauletta for example.
Advice greatly appreciated

Standings according to points/game
I have had a little look at the overall standings taking into account the number of games played and transfers used. I make the top ten something like this:
Name, Team, Pts, Players played, Pts/player
Lilam Buckley Over the Cahill 23 5 4.6
Gareth Dunn Dunns Donkeys 24 7 3.4
Fred Petersen Elles Angels 24 7 3.4
Georgios Christides SPQR 23 7 3.3
Sam Smedley Arctic Donkeys 26 8 3.25
charlie turner boothyboy 26 8 3.25
Rich Turner Ricardinho's XI 29 9 3.2
amardeep Dhaliwal Amo's 11 29 9 3.2
Michael Aldous tawa bears 22 7 3.1
Todd Black Retodd's Razors 22 7 3.1
Apologies to any teams I have missed.

Re: Advice for the Guardian fantasy fussball
After the group stages, all points are doubled so I would hang on. I don't plan on making any transfers until then at the earliest (aside from tournament threatening injuries and possibly suspensions) If you had say 24 transfers then maybe, but defo not with 12 IMO. I notice the current leader has already used the max 8 transfers He will win nothing. Slow and steady, that's my mottodejudge wrote:Hello to all.

Well spotted That changes everythingspjwsmc wrote:You can only make 4 transfers in stage 2 and four in stage 3, so unless you use 4 in stage 1, they will be lost. I plan to swap for France/Brazil players either today or before their second group game. I agree though, that to blow all 8 stage 1 transfers after three days or so is a bit rash!

Seems a lot closer in terms of pts/game. The only teams still above three points per game (that I noticed) are:
3.2 pts/game, Ricardinho's XI 32 pts 10 pl
3.1 pts/game, Wu-Tang Boo-Tang 34 pts 11 pl
3.0 pts/game, Dunn's Donkeys 30 pts 10 pl
Clearly France's and Brazil's damp squibs yesterday will have hurt a few of those teams who seemed to be in a strong position yesterday. However, I also agree that the top of the leaderboard will definitely look different in a few days time, as people use transfers to catch up.
I wonder when people will decide whether to throw everything at the phase 1 prize or to be conservative on transfers and play for the overall prize...
