Re: World Cup Day 4 - In Play
Neither Brazil or Germany are a gimme with clean sheets today.
I looked at them and Denmark, went with Denmark and got the cleansheet but didnt get all 7 out of 10s.
Got 1 more team to put in. So annoying that the England game is after Belgium as i'm tempted for an England defence.

Re: World Cup Day 4 - In Play
Not sure why you cannot enter an England block now to benefit from Brazil and Germany players too?
Pickford - 100% certain
Trippier - 100% certain
Stones - 100% certain
Walker - 100% certain
If you want four at the back then add Maguire who seems like he's 90% certain. Or take e.g Paulinho today in a 3-4-3 and then transfer him to Maguire tomorrow if you would rather not run the risk.

Can’t you just enter before the England game? Would have though you could? Didn’t think it was cut off after the first game of the day?itslikebrandnew wrote: ↑17 Jun 2018, 09:28 Neither Brazil or Germany are a gimme with clean sheets today.

Re: World Cup Day 4 - In Play
Yep, i wanted to be 100% right with England and make up with Belgium players. I'm going to go with what CBN says though. If for some reason i get a defender wrong then maybe i can make up for it by having a German or Brazilian do well today.L_gates wrote: ↑17 Jun 2018, 10:53I assume he wants Belgium representation in his team.mad dog wrote: ↑17 Jun 2018, 10:45Can’t you just enter before the England game?

Re: World Cup Day 4 - In Play
Anyone starting Jesus this evening worried about his game time and possibly sharing duties with Firminho ?
Neymar more expensive but the better option ?
Will Paulinho play further forward and out wide as he has done before the last friendly ?
Werner better option thanJesus maybe ?
Mmmmmm

Re: World Cup Day 4 - In Play
Neymar’s lack of competitive fitness to me is a concern. Not a straightforward pick for myself, also thinking will he be rested for the final group game. As Brazil’s talisman, he will be under pressure to perform. Will he be tightly marked like Messi yesterday? Messi not happy at Iceland tactics.shakermeister wrote: ↑17 Jun 2018, 12:07 Anyone starting Jesus this evening worried about his game time and possibly sharing duties with Firminho ?

Jesus is not in the world class bracket (yet) but is the cheaper option that does allow me greater flexibility for future transfers. He has a decent goalscoring record for Brazil.
The high ownership (and likely to increase before kick-off) and set piece duties of Neymar makes it dangerous to go without him though. Plenty to ponder.
Werner I don't know much about and I generally prefer to see players I select in action. So will watch the Germany match and then decide whether to bring Werner in later on or not at all.

Think you're spot on there . I think it has been reported Neymar game time will be managed . It's just that
his free roaming role and as you say all his other strings that are a worry ...

Re: World Cup Day 4 - In Play
I have Messi who I always was going to swap for Jesus anyway . I had a game plan re transfers etc and think I will stick to it . Couple of possible big hitters yet to play

Re: World Cup Day 4 - In Play
I would rather have a 60minute neymar than a 75-80min Werner (haven’t watched him play much)
Neymar seems to always perform and looked quite sharp in his friendly back but as everyone is saying, how fit is he? I have taken the risk, Messi to Neymar for me. Then onto the next after, possibly Lukaku.

Re: World Cup Day 4 - In Play
Guys any advice? I failed in the opening games after originally having schmeichel / gimenez / Ronaldo but changed at last minute
Chasing a 50 point lead and 4 transfers down. I don't think it's doable but you never know
Currently with:
Lloris
Umtiti
Gordon
Kimmich
Hummel's
Isco
Hazard
Eriksson
Lukaku
Werner
Neymar

Re: World Cup Day 4 - In Play
50 points is nothing. Relax and let all your current players play who haven't played yet. Then see what way the land lies. Your rival may have 11 players already played while you could be sitting with 4 or 5 still to play.

True
Though a lot above me have Brazil defence / coutinho/Neymar
Hoping coutinho blanks but unlikely

Re: World Cup Day 4 - In Play
They can't have every player the same. And if they are so far ahead then they have had players who have already played. It just takes one of your players to score 13-15 points there's that total down.

Re: World Cup Day 4 - In Play
My last team, i changed it slightly from the one i listed earlier thinking Serbia might do well in their first couple of games :-
Pickford
Kolarov
Stones
Trippier
Walker
Mil Savic
Coutinho
Muller
Hazard
Mitrovic
Lukaku
Not impressed with Mitrovic, can't fault his effort but he should have scored at least two and fluffed them.

Re: World Cup Day 4 - In Play
Not if his rival is 6 transfers down. Or more. People need to chillllllll out. There's been 3 full days football played and people are already saying if you don't have 100 points you can't win. Half of my teams have 9 players to play and I've maybe used 1 transfer.

Keep burning those transfers on German defenders guys, they have as much chance of keeping a clean sheet as i do of winning this game
