Slava Ukraini!
I also signed up succesfully both on bracket challenge and match score predictor. Well WC opener match between Russia and Saudi Arabia aren't most fancy game, but anyway, I'm planning to watch all games of upcoming World Cup Cheesy
There was already many discussions about possible winners of World Cup. But guys, in your opinion, which team can surprise us? I expect that Iceland can do something similar what they did in EURO 2016.
I just finished my WC brackets and the Match Predictor (matchday 1-3), although in this one there's no button to submit my predictions.
Our predictions are automatically recorded when we fill score, there are no need to submit our predictions. And you can change your match score predictions unlimited times until start of the match.

Joined both leagues. For result predictor do I have to predict just 1. round of games or complete group stage at the begging of the tournament?

are you guys going to share your bets here when the event starts or what ?? just need to make sure what thread to keep an eye on to see your bets
I will put my prediction here and would appreciate to hear other people picks and opinions.


Is there anybody interested in World Cup Fantasy game? I will be playing with some mates so I decided to create a league for this forum as well.
Rules:
1. You have to be member of this forum so don't invite friends if they are not in crypto, otherwise spread invites; the more the merier
2. No money involved, just for fun and bragging rights(try to use same nick as here, that way it is more fun)

Right then let's just go ahead, and embarrass myself with my predictions.

I can't say I'm that excited about the opening game but I'll watch it. Will probably be pretty boring as Saudi Arabia are easily one of the worst teams in the tournament and Russia aren't great either but they do have the home advantage.
I think that's the beauty of the this little betting group though. It will make games more enjoyable that I wouldn't have watched before, and hopefully find some gems are players! Plus, the lower teams competing usually means a more open, and entertaining game..

I just finished my bracket challenge as it didn't let me join the league before posting all outcomes, probably I just clicked the shit out of the games and didn't think thoroughly. Anyway I am more interested in the predictor leaderboard, where do we put our predictions in it , any link ? By the way joined both leagues.

Nevermind, found it.

@hilarious every world cup has its scandals so yeah I wouldn't put it past elements within Russia to be behind some decisions. Expect at least a handful of referee incidents. Like you said, if they could buy the WC, why not a few officials?
And let's not forget that the main hub of the VAR operations in this WC will be in Moscow (different from let's say the Bundesliga, where there's a VAR hub in each stadium...I think lol), so who knows what kind of person will be sitting next to the VAR ref giving him some "advice" before making a decision.

yeah all working now with the new links , I can see the leaderboard but still only 6 people listed there

I have managed to join the league hilariousandco created with the new links, but how do you manage to see the leaderboard and the number of people listed there? I can't seems to see any information on the leaderboard, do I need to fill in the group stage brackets with my prediction first before I can see the leaderboard?

Edit: Issue solved, the solution is to fill up the group stage brackets first and you will be able to join in the league for you to fill in your prediction on every match result, I am able to see the leaderboard now including my username on the leaderboard.

^  It's prolly better to keep every discussion as much as possible in this thread.  The other FIFA thread is full of people who could really be not into football or sports in general I think...  Judging from some of their posts.

Anyway...  I finished my bracket earlier before I joined the league.  I don't have to do anything else right?  My brackets are set regardless if I join a couple more leagues or not, right?



Yeah there’s a load of people in those type of threads who are just there to post shit for their sig campaign’s. Most probably don’t even know the rules of football let alone support/follow any team.

guess who's back
Ah ok. I think I figured it out now. I did initially create a league but just clicked the challenge your friends link so it must have just sent the player vs player ones out. Was wondering why I could't see the table. I'll resend the link to join the league shortly.

OK signed up for both, finished my bracket in 2 mins, I thought hey let's see where my gut takes me! And I avoided all the most popular scores in the league... Going for least popular scorelines for higher points. Though I suppose it doesn't mean anything for our pool purposes

@LFC good to have you back!

Yep or just send the league code.

People who haven’t paid might join then though I guess. I’m glad it wasn't something I was doing, it was pissing me off trying to figure out what I was doing wrong Cheesy Cheesy

Well maybe he meant via PM, but yeah they can't be posted publicly because any old Marlon Rando will then try join in. I've messaged you all both the direct links to join and the pin so please check your PMs. Let me know if there's any issues.

I’m in!

Let’s get it on Smiley



Pot is currently at 0.1 but there's still a couple of people who haven't paid.

Will probably do prizes as follows:

1st £300
2nd £100
3rd £50
4th £25
5th £25

= £500

If more pay I'll adjust the prizes accordingly.

^  Yup.  I can see hilarious and me but nobody else.  I think the link he sent us was a 1v1 challenge.  To have a league where all of us can be in, I think hilarious has to create one here:
 https://predictor.fifa.com/match/leagues and https://bracketchallenge.fifa.com/bracket/leagues

I don't think they're leagues but 1v1 challenges...?  Can you check hilarious, thanks.  I think to create a league you have to go here:  https://predictor.fifa.com/match/leagues and https://bracketchallenge.fifa.com/bracket/leagues

Not sure but let's double check how this thing works.
