Yes, it is pretty interesting, but I'd advice you not to bring in any player just yet and wait until the world cup is over because if you should sell a player now, you'll be selling for less than he's current market worth, if for any reason you need to settle back for that player before the end of the free window, you'll have to pay the current market price (I don't know if that makes sense or if you understand what I actually meant).
Do players' prices rise or fall as a result of their performance in the World Cup? What about the players who have been left behind? I assumed that the only effect of the World Cup would be on player injuries.
I hope this helps others...as I didn't know about the price lock for example.

A period of unlimited free transfers in FPL is subtly different to a wildcard: player prices are locked during this period, which means no price rises or price falls.
I don't know how to explain it in layman's language but I'll try, you know what causes changes in players value is the number of transfers in - numbers of transfers out, what price locked meant is that during world period players current value will not fluctuate, how however if you sell a player you'll lose 50% of your profit earned from when brought the player in, so if later you want to bring the player again before the next game week you'll have to pay the players full current worth, if that makes sense ?
Does the 50 per cent sell-on still exist? Will I have to pay the difference if I sell a player and then get him back in?
The price shown on your transfers page is a player's selling price. This selling price may be less than the player's current purchase price as a sell-on fee of 50 per cent will be applied on any profits made on that player.
This remains in effect for the World Cup period. For example, Erling Haaland’s current cost is £12.1m. If you owned him at his £11.5m starting price and transferred him out, you’d receive £11.8m. However, if you then decided to bring him back, Haaland would cost you £12.1m.
For further explanation below; is how my defense line looks, Take a look at the value of Trippier and Cancelo, it is 5.6m and 7.2m respectively, so If I'm to trade them out today that's what I'll get for them, However, If tomorrow something comes up and I need get them back in, I'll have to pay the current prices for both players which is 5.9 and 7.4 respectively so, I would have lost 0.5m on both players just for taking them out and bringing them back in again, even though I'm not getting any points hits.
I think it should be clear enough for everyone now ?
