fanteam WORLD CUP 2022

[quizking]

Two Fantasy World Cup games launched - regular game £20 entry, up to 25 entries allowed, £100,000 prizes guaranteed, and single entry game £5 entry, £50,000.
No alarms and no surprises in the rules; wildcard before quarter finals, safety net applies, no bench.

£5 single entry at 50k going to need a lot of runners!!

[RickyRosa]

25 not a huge amount of teams but whether I’ll enter 25 I’m just not sure, a lot of teams to manage

[RickyRosa]

Mixed feelings already, bake listed as an attacker, what!! Kieffer I’m at 6.5m got to be everyone’s first name on the team sheet.

[aurora]

was expecting 10 teams at most, I think that's a manageable amount, think with 25 it's likely the big players like your gaffel's, tops and khan's will be fighting it out amongst themselves, though at least it's not 100 max, every cloud.

Ricky is already eyeing up the triple up on Wales

I'm staying well away from Moore, he's been an absolute disaster in the PL game. Bale is also struggling badly in MLS - only a couple of goals in a dozen games against the same defenders he'll be coming up against when Wales take on USA. Wales look like a clear avoid for me as even Iran will be a tough game in the heat.

England on the other hand.....

[BLOCKHEAD]

I can't look past the PSG attacking trio especially with those opening fixtures. They take up over 40% of the budget though so maybe you will have to sacrifice one to have a better team overall.

[BLOCKHEAD]

Belgium have Canada too! You're going to need a fair few teams to cover all of the attacking combos - on paper any of them could score big.

[BLOCKHEAD]

Two goals today. I might put him in one team as a complete punt where I don't have England defenders.

He is a goal machine Block, defenders hate him, but if a card magnet though because of his physicality.

Literally is first name on my team sheet.

[BLOCKHEAD]

England blocks are in, will probably enter 10 teams overall.

My research suggests that he isn't even guaranteed to start and I can't afford to be getting 1 pointers off the bench (safety net won't play either). Nailed on starters only for me. Moore is out, but I wish you luck with this pick.

[aurora]

Not really any £5m midfield bargains around.

[MADCHESTER UTD]

Got 5 in now and will probably aim for 10 max. 10 is still manageable. Was a bit of a nightmare when I entered 25 in the euros doing all the transfers/planning them and didn’t enjoy it in the end.

[BLOCKHEAD]

5 at the back with 5 big boys up front is my preferred formation so far.

[RickyRosa]

Moore 100% will start for Wales Block…one thing I do know a little about is the Welsh side!

I’m thinking 4 at the back probably optimum Block…unless of course you’re lucky enough to get the combos right and clean up on CS points….for me though, using the recent CL game all my defence oriented teams struggled compared to my cheaper defences, more attacking teams…I actually really like the 3-5-2 best as whilst it’s great when you do get CS points you’re sort of putting all your eggs in the CS basket so to speak by going 5 at the back imop….

Be interesting to see who’s right, perhaps I
Will do like 5 with 5 at the back and 5 with 3.

[aurora]

It's strange how the USA are favourites to beat Wales, I'd have thought it the other way round, maybe it's the uncertainty around Bale.

Problem with going strong at the back is the third group game, chances are, the top teams will win their first 2 games and play a second string against a team needing to win possibly, Greizmann being listed as a midfielder is strange to me, Neymar looks overpriced.

[BLOCKHEAD]

The thing with the CL groups is that the 2nd seed team is normally a very decent side whereas in the World Cup groups the top seed could have 3 easy opponents like England for example. They got 3/3 cleansheets in the last Euros in a much tougher group containing Croatia and Czech Republic.

[BLOCKHEAD]

Moore 100% will start for Wales Block…one thing I do know a little about is the Welsh side!

Go and check the lineups for the last 3 Nations League games

It will most likely be Bale up top with Johnson and James on either side of him. Hence why all 3 are more expensive than Moore.

We've made an extensive fantasy guide for all 32 teams at the World Cup. It's geared towards the official FIFA game but should be useful for Fanteam as well. Hope it's helpful!

Nice! Thanks

[MADCHESTER UTD]

Az and CheckJosh have done a good video on YT on FanTeam World Cup. It’s stuff most of us on here will already know but still a decent watch

Nice! Thanks

Happy you found it useful! We are updating as squads are confirmed!

Thanks for this, looks very informative.

I like how Moore wasn't even worthy of a rating amongst the Wales players - somebody better let Ricky know before he ends up selecting him in all of his teams

[RickyRosa]

Thanks Admin…I don’t know what all this talk of Moore not being rated is Block…he’s guaranteed to start?

[BLOCKHEAD]

They gave Bale 4 stars, Williams and Ramsey both got 3 stars (out of 5). No rating for Moore so they don't consider him as a viable option.

[aurora]

entered 10 teams, considering 15.

[BLOCKHEAD]

Got my eye on a couple of Uruguayans after today.

[RickyRosa]

Guys, Am I right in saying there is no stacking penalty in this game like the CL one?
