Re: World Cup Day One - In Play
Have him in one team.
As somebody who would have definitely kicked off with ten Russian blocks had the idiots listed them, if Uruguay don’t keep a cleanie tomorrow, I’ll see you all in four years as well.

I know football doesn’t necessarily work like this... but you have to wonder what Suarez might do against the Saudis

Suarez and Cavani could throw claim to the golden boot in one game.

Re: World Cup Day One - In Play
Trouble is we can’t them all for all the games.
I’d earmarked one or both in most of my teams.
Guessing I’ll have plenty of company.
Another thought... Australia qualified behind Saudi.
Those thinking the Aussies could put up a gritty opposition for France might be disappointed.

The way the Saudis played a good team could put ten past them. I didn't think Russia were that good, the Saudis were just very very poor.

Re: World Cup Day One - In Play
Saudis were that bad it looked like they threw the game. All they had to do was get the ball wide, drive forward and throw in some crosses. I think they did that once and caused a problem. The rest of the time left to right and lost possession so many times in their own half.

Re: World Cup Day One - In Play
Basically Saudi Arabia are a poor team that tbf at least try to play football the right way. I didn’t fall for the recent narrow 2-1 friendly loss to Germany. And I always thought the “Russia are crap” view wasn’t bang on either. Had a poor recent record but again it’s in friendlies and tbf against some good teams.itslikebrandnew wrote: ↑14 Jun 2018, 18:38Saudis were that bad it looked like they threw the game.

I didn’t expect 5-0 but I thought 2-0 Russia was very possible

Re: World Cup Day One - In Play
I thought Saudi Arabia would go for it so i'm disappointed. I fancied something like a 2-2 draw. I still think Russia are a poor team, just hope i'm not being blinkered or i'll never get very far playing this.MADCHESTER UTD wrote: ↑14 Jun 2018, 19:12Basically Saudi Arabia are a poor team that tbf at least try to play football the right way.

i’ll do my usual Tom; start well,crash n burn my tranny’s and end up out the money but with a “respectable” position (in other words 15th with no money)ex-pro-gaffer wrote: ↑14 Jun 2018, 19:28 Bleddy hell is that you Dan ?, haven't seen you all year mate, you haven't had a good start by any chance have you
Looks ok after 1st of 64 games but 37 points can be swallowed up with a Spaniard/french/ block next 2 days
Luckily I have a French n Spanish block with golovin
not really

, hopefully you can keep it up, the first part of the plan executed to near on perfection , I didn't expect the Saudis to be so bad although deep down inside me I did ( if that makes sense ), 2 Golovins over here so I'll take that, think it absolutely stinks that they've added the Russian defs so late on, I can't help but think they've tried to pull a fast one ( matey matey wink wink )....hope I'm wrong

Re: World Cup Day One - In Play
It’s shocking adding players just before big kick off. Though surely no one can put in golovin , akinfeev kuptov and that bloke who scored 2 after the games started and still get points

Re: World Cup Day One - In Play
Well done on the good start Got some bottle putting that many Russian blocks in to start, and you should get at least one full block cleanie out of them options. If your successful with at least two you can go for that treble tooMADCHESTER UTD wrote: ↑14 Jun 2018, 19:57Got decent return from my 5 players players so far Nev but 37 points is zilch especially when I’ve got to dump them out (though might keep golovin now even though planned to dump). I need this Uruguay clean

Re: World Cup Day One - In Play
Comical really, can only assume it’s a calculated effort to drive traffic.
On the one hand the masses will be unaware/care - so will it drive that much traffic? On the other, I dare say some of us (you) will be logging in to check everyday.
I’ve been planning my moves based on a it’s of players that’s two weeks old. I feel it meets my needs... then again, I probably won’t be troubling the leader board.

Re: World Cup Day One - In Play
Thanks Andrew Got plans to go France, Germany, Brazil, Spain eventually but relying on Uruguay doing well 1st If they don’t then game over. Knew 40% of my teams would probably be fooked up if Russia conceded but worth the riskBiddles32 wrote: ↑14 Jun 2018, 20:18Well done on the good start Got some bottle putting that many Russian blocks in to start, and you should get at least one full block cleanie out of them options.

Doesn’t matter what time you take a shit if they add the player after the games kicked off!
