I'm on something like this at the mo
pickford/akinfeev
maguire/trippier/meunier/godin/giminez
coutinho/casimeiro/golovin/cheryshev/lingard
kane/neymar/cavani if fit (or one of hazard/lukaku)

Unless you're bench boosting, you ideally want to pick 2 keepers who play on different days.

I had 2 forced changes and changed keeper so I had them on different days.

Plan was to wildcard but thought I might as well hold it . I expected to have to make more changes.

Going into the semi final is for me the best time to WC. Its 2 more matches for all teams, winners in the final and losers in the 3rd/4th place layoff.

Captained Griezmann. Going to WC for the semi's I think. Is maximum captain best to keep for the final?

For some ridiculous reason I left Pavard on the bench. No way to get him off the bench is there?

The only way would be to not make any auto subs and hope someone doesn't play but I would suspect that's a worse option...

Cheers.

Bah. Such an idiot. Forgot about the deadline yesterday, made the changes quick, but forgot I'd removed a bench player for Pavard so he didn't start on the pitch. Least I went with Griezmann over Mbappe I guesss.

I have Lingard Maguire Trippier currently on bench to bring on, with Mbappé 1p and a few 2-pointers to drop.
Doubt is, should even England win, I don't feel likely you english keep a CS vs Cro, and I could drop a 2-pointer only to get 1 in exchange.
I also have Lovren, and barring a corner header, he's even less likely to keep a CS, he could yield 0 by conceding 2 and getting booked.
So I might better drop one 2-pointer, and Lovren... :?

Also, I have Courois with 3p thanks to saves... should I drop him to bring Pickford on? :?

I'd say yes. Worst case scenario you lose a point or two. It's hardly worth stressing over.
