Nice of Trippier to get subbed before the goal there

Re: 2018 McDonalds FIFA World Cup Fantasy
Anyone know if Trippier is likely to miss out next game? Have Varela and Pavard rumoured to not be playing too but may prioritise Trippier if he isn’t likely to play.

Re: 2018 McDonalds FIFA World Cup Fantasy
If either of my Uruguay/Russia players don't start then I'll be wildcarding. If not, it'll be Hazard out to probably Werner. I've got Trippier - he got subbed early yesterday so maybe that makes him likelier to start. If I was wildcarding I'd be taking him out though.

I just read the rules and you get unlimited transfers next round anyway so I guess today is time to wildcard regardlessbigcliff2 wrote: ↑25 Jun 2018, 13:26 If either of my Uruguay/Russia players don't start then I'll be wildcarding.

Re: 2018 McDonalds FIFA World Cup Fantasy
You only get 3 free transfers after the L16 and before the QF - I think that's probably a better time, in an ideal world, to use it, assuming though that you've got a decent team for this last group round. I'm fairly happy with mine - most have something to play forabuhaneefah wrote: ↑25 Jun 2018, 14:00I just read the rules and you get unlimited transfers next round anyway so I guess today is time to wildcard regardlessbigcliff2 wrote: ↑25 Jun 2018, 13:26 If either of my Uruguay/Russia players don't start then I'll be wildcarding.

Re: 2018 McDonalds FIFA World Cup Fantasy
I've got about 6 players that are a doubt for this round, 3 of them are Belgium players, one Uruguay defender who isn't playing and 2 Senegalese that are unlikely to get me pointsbigcliff2 wrote: ↑25 Jun 2018, 14:04You only get 3 free transfers after the L16 and before the QF - I think that's probably a better time, in an ideal world, to use it, assuming though that you've got a decent team for this last group round.

Re: 2018 McDonalds FIFA World Cup Fantasy
Of course I WC out my Uruguay GK, defender and striker (Cavani's one goal is a bit blah to be fair). Not sure what happened with Russia, but was pretty close to bringing in Cheryshev so that's one eff-up avoided.
Edit. Looks like Varela didn't play for Uruguay so that's another positive.

They went with 3 at the back, I thought they would concede so I took out my 5m defender. Nevermind still have plenty to play!Owsler wrote: ↑25 Jun 2018, 17:37 Of course I WC out my Uruguay GK, defender and striker (Cavani's one goal is a bit blah to be fair).

Does Godin not get an assist for the 3rd goal he headed it saved by the keeper then Cavani scores

What happens if you pick a captain who doesn't play?

Re: 2018 McDonalds FIFA World Cup Fantasy
Yeah, it's not mentioned in the rules that I can see, making me think that nothing happens. The reason I ask is a guy in my league for some reason has Lukaku captained. I don't think he's going to play and I don't think he's going to change it.

Is it madness I’m thinking of captaining Kimmich over Coutinho?

Re: 2018 McDonalds FIFA World Cup Fantasy
Hummels seems safer for the 6 points. Marcelo more likely for attacking returns. Depends if you would settle for 6 points for captain? - I feel like this is the target for this round.

Re: 2018 McDonalds FIFA World Cup Fantasy
I'd kinda agree. I'm hard pushed to move off Cavani for either Mueller or Coutinho never mind Lukaku/Kane.
