If Netherlands and England do not go through today it's literally a game over for non-WC owners unless you're leading at a very big gab, if both qualified to the next stage I will be having a total of 9 players available for Semis + 4FT subs to make which is something I can navigate through without taking a hit.

If both get knocked out, we're screwed, I just don't want anymore surprises Grin

Netherlands & England missing out will certainly be bad for most of us , but with 4 transfers available in the semi's...I think it's more than enough to get a good team fielded unless you have a combined total of over 8+ players which technically means 4 less players and this is some scary possibility that could happen!!!

Btw I see some manager's still have both chips unused and team looks very well balanced to go all the way and already doing fine in the pool Cheesy

I advised against using wildcards in this round; the best time was in the group stage, and the second best time is MD5. The higher we go, the fewer points we accumulate; I'm pleased I used mine at the right moment, since it really helped.

It is always team dependent. You are right that upside in group stage was highest but then again I had my best score in GW2 anyway and with WC I would maybe have less. It was also easy to set up the squad.for GW1 and GW2 from begging.

You can't judge how wc worked at this atage. I am quite sure if England and Netherlands go out today that you will wish you kept it for this round. I kept it and hoped for surprises, so far we did not have a single one.

These draws aren't helping...how do these lads expect us to catch the top guys, we need one group to be crying and another to be rejoicing..we don't want the bittersweet feeling !! Hope England the draw queens don't play for a goalless game tomorrow Roll Eyes

The results from today's games were all extended, games from tomorrow will be different, I expect many goals tomorrow especially from the Netherlands game as they are the best performing them so far in this competition with Cody Gakpo and the top of it all.

I am now in the competition for fun, I know I was not a contender to win it before now, but it is now certain.

Missed the memo Roll Eyes

Perphaps thought you were trying to take out the competition using this strategy, but lesson learnt we shall follow the Sheriff's advice going forward 🫡.

Just can't wait for France-Portugal game to earn in PK shootout so I can keep both Maignan and Pepe clean sheet points. Don't want to see another last-minute upset.

Now I have 3 Germany assets + carvajal out for the entire of the tournament and possible 2 of France/Portugal left to join the list and no WC left. I knew quarterfinals was going to be bloody hell but i didn't expect it to be a booking rumble.

This is the most important round for everyone, Semis and final are just cherries on the ice.

This looks like quite bad round for all, which is again good for those that are in the lead. That red for Spain costed me some nice points.

In the end I am glad I didn't use wildcard in this round. I would have Musiala for sure, probably Pepe, one less defender from Spain.... Not that much of a difference. Olmo wasn't starting so nobody has him,

If you missed the Spain - Germany match, just know that there were 14 yellow cards in this match.

Now imagine how many emotions you missed.

It's Game day!!

This matchday will only have one certain team to back and that's Netherlands against Turkey , though not to be written off they certainly have the capacity to pull another upset, but the rest of the games at hand are all tricky to predict...the next best game if we want to score some easy points has to be the England - Switzerland game, but I fear the English team for the lack of bite in the attack department and berest assured the Swiss aren't here to play and they won't spare England...though looking at the head to head the fixture could favour Southgate but it's not history that plays football and am still going to side with the Swiss, let's go!!

Except for Guehi, whom I intend to keep, my team is set up, and if 80% of my expectations are met in this round, I will not be needing a WC. I only have two knockedout players on my team and 3FT to spend.

I simply need to sustain momentum in this round, and you're screwed; the top place appears unlikely, but not impossible.

I wanna make a full switch. I have a decent team but if the games turn out how I think they would German and Spanish defenders won't be worth much and neither will Portuguese and French defenders.
I'm considering shuffling it all for QF and then hoping that for SF it goes my way.

How many transfers do we have for the semifinal round?

I'm thinking about balancing Germany and Spain assets; I now have 3 Spain pain and 2 Germany; it's a 50-50 game and one must go home, so balancing the players on both sides will have little impact on the semi-final squad.

4FT for Semis.....

I am also at knife point whether to pull wildcard this round or not. I can get to 15 players with free transfers no problem but most of them aren't actually players I would pick on Wildcard. Wildcard now gives much more upside but wildcard in the semis guarantees full team and we could have a lot of surprises in this round.

I will probably decide at last possible moment.

Spain vs Germany looks more like 60-40 game to me though, I have multiple players from both sides bit I’m not to worried about that, I’m worried which of those players could get me points for the match even if it’s the expense of them getting eliminated, my transfers could cover that.

I like Simon; he's really good with the ball and can easily break through opponents, but shooting to save his life is where he draws the line. He's on my watchlist, and I'm thinking about going for him, but I also have Depay on my list. My main issue is Guehi; I'm considering keeping him now that I'm no longer with WC since I thought England would advance to the next round.

Had another fantastic week- was close to winning yet another bonus Grin

You don't have a WC anymore? Boy, you're going down.
You had a great round yeah, but without WC I feel I have an edge to win our duel - still deciding whether to use it now or for the semifinals.

I wouldn't keep Guehi - but it all depends on what you want from your picks. I have a good team but am not satisfied considering the matchups that we have.

Big points for you! but who is VD309? On average, none of the players he had on scored less than 6 points, wow!

I cannot say I had the best week, but not a bad one either. I will be better, and I am learning as fast as I always do.

Simons could have gotten you way more. Don't look at his highlights, he needs so much time to prepare for shooting, if he knew how to shoot with the first touch I think he could have netted 2 goals.

I really like him, I've been tracking him for a few years already.
I agree with what you said, he's really good technically and therefore trusts himself to take too many unnecessary touches.
