World Cup 2018 Fantasy Football

[Lord Camomile]

Very fucking late in the day, FIFA have released their Fantasy Football.

Sign up to the u75 league here

 

[tommers]

Is De Gea not there or something?

Hmm the mobile Web page seems to be a bit dodgy.

 

[passenger]

Done

 

[chilango]

i'm in for my usual initial flurry of interest before a failure to keep up with subbing in and out leaves my team neglected at the bottom....

 

[purves grundy]

I enjoy my fantasy downtime too much

 

[binka]

Signed up but only four of us??

 

[Badgers]

Signed up but only four of us??

I will give it a go...

Never done a FL ever before so will fail no doubt. Is Steve Bull available or are you restricted to the actual squads?

Stop mucking about and just do it you only have about 2 hours left ffs

 

[binka]

All of your teans are dreadful. Why am I the only one with gimenez and godin in defence? I'm extremely confident here

Less people joining, more chance for me to become world cup champion,sad but true

 

[Lord Camomile]

There's more than four, you might be just looking at the main league page (where you see all the leagues you're a member of). If you click 'View Leaderboard' you can see our league is a Magnificent 7 (S-E-V-E-N) strong

Yeah I noticed that after the first game. That's how I got to see how wretched all the other teams are

 

[Lord Camomile]

Hegazi gets a last minute yellow to go with the last minute goal that wiped out his clean sheet

 

[binka]

Absolutely bossing this so far

 

[passenger]

Two players from Uruguay ,1 piont I could end up being the Saudi of fantasy football.

 

[binka]

You know I hate bragging but I can't help notice that I am so far out in front I have as many points as second and third place combined!

 

[chilango]

I couldn't find my team when I logged in yesterday...is it showing up in the league?

Yes you're in a distant second place

 

[The39thStep]

I'm third

 

[Lord Camomile]

Guess who I've got in goal...

Fair enough you only had 96 to pick from afterall

 

[Fez909]

Completely missed this, but snook in just in time for round 1 scores by the looks of things!

Don't like how involved this is. Fucked up my captain. Wanted Lukaku, but left it on Werner and forgot to change...Werner being the only one of my strikers to not score. Brilliant

 

[Lord Camomile]

I bloody well forgot that Round 2 started an hour after Round 1, didn't I? Was too busy paying attention to subs and captains

Think it's going to be a struggle to get back from this, unless my misfiring forwards start... um, firing.

 

[chilango]

Spent 4 points making an additional transfer. Let's see if Round 2 is any better for me.

Yeah, you have to be a lot more switched on with WC FF than FPL.

I had the worst possible captain fuckup:

1. Wanted Grizeman, but didn't press save. Captain stayed on Lukaku. Not the end of the world.
2. Switched to Werner as Lukaku played the day after, so essentially it still gives me 2 shots at a good captain
3. Werner was invisible, so need to change back to Lukaku. Went out/got drunk, forgot. My captain is now 2pts.
4. Oh, what's this. There's still two midfielders who haven't played! I might as well switch to one of those..can't be a bad shout, right? Let's go with C Sanchez
5. C Sanchez gives away a penalty and is sent off in the third minute, giving me -6pts for him, and overall swing of -8pts from if I'd have left Werner as captain.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Once again forgot to make any transfers, meaning I've gone the whole group stage with the same squad

Of course Egypt couldn't even keep a clean sheet against Saudi Arabia
