I'm glad Spain is out of the tournament. A lot of players around me in the standings had triple (even quadruple Spain) and now they have to burn some of their transfers to get those players out. The second reason is, i hate how the Spanish team plays...i can't stand that meaningless, high-possession no-threat football. Lol, 800 side/backward passes just to get one shot on target? All that scheming to eliminate Germany and avoid Brazil in QFs, wasted... Cheesy

In any case, it'll be interesting to see how everyone approaches MD5. I could see a number of ways to gain rank, ranging from extremely risky to a more balanced path to points. Having a few differentials is always a good thing, and i've already got my eye on a couple of players with low ownership...glad we get more than a day to set our lineups this time, as i didn't like the rushing in the previous rounds.

So we have unlimited transfers now before the QF begin, which is great, but no more chips for those who have already used them, correct? Looking at the current table, no one has a chance if you don't win. Oh, smartvirus is nearby.

I've already used my captain's boast, and because I had Messi and Mbappe on my team, it went to Mpabbe and gave me 30 points in return.

You don't have unlimited transfers, you have 5 free transfers for QF games and anything more you have to pay for. But I don't think anybody needs even 5 transfers in this MD since most favorites passed and we should have my teams set up already.

You are presuming that everybody here uses the same nick in Fifa Fantasy game, I know at least 2 more forum members that are playing it under different nick and doing quite well. Don't think it is a secret but if they opted for different name it is their thing to share.

Sorry to those who forgot or I did not recognize, but in the same way good luck to everyone in this new phase of this World Cup Fantasy.

My FIFA fantasy career was over after the MD2 when I had only 25 points. I'm just playing for fun now to pass the time because it's already impossible to make top 10, we only have a few games left, and the further we go, the fewer goals will be scored, so it would take a miracle to blow up 80+ from QF matches, is still possible but the chances are very slim. Has anyone ever gotten 25 points in a pool before?, or am I making history here? What happened to Woodie? did he run out of luck after MD1? I don't see him.

Trofo is making us proud because no one from the forum has won an outside competition for sometime now.

I actually like my chances in this one. I already made a couple of transfers in the last MD as the players I wanted to get rid of finished their games and now I am in very comfortable situation of having more or less 15 players I want and 5 free transfers to use them before the games if some of my choices get benched.

I still have that power captain booster so hopefully that one will come handy in the last MD of the competition. Main prize is going to someone from this forum I just feel it

Congratulations to the Croats were in my accounts for the Quarter Finals. Please! Coach, Modric!, You should never replaced him!

⚽ World Cup Fantasy ⚽ : Peresic^Perišić 8 PTS, eight points given by Fifa but I would give him 20 pts. Cool

This world cup, Modrić was playing ok but he was nowhere near his usual levels and today he was among our worst players. I would have subbed him off even sooner. He did not have a good game and made a lot of uncharacteristic errors while we know we will need him in the next game. It is not easy for a guy of his age to play every minute of every game in world cup.

Brazil looks dangerous as hell, will be a though game against them but odds should be good. @buwaytress I expect some money on Croatia at least from you

But not regular time, after penalties, Croatian way.

Brazil are definitely going to have tough game vs Croatia, because of Croatia chemistry and style of play, disciplined decisive and very compactly organized as a team, but If any team has what it takes to oust Croatia, that'd be Brazil, they've got every assets that they can use to hurt just almost any team.

Count me in as another Saka on the bench (first MD I subbed him out, dumb, now he's left on the bench, what a waste of points!). Mbappe took me my haul but only because I used Boost (otherwise would have captained Messi).

Also, Pickford on my sub and Alisson conceded. I don't know what I'm doing...

Japan! and Ritsu Doan... why do it differently against Croatia... in fact he ended up taking him out in the second half, well! anyway, a great coach without a doubt and he is the architect of this great World Cup in Japan...

My exact thoughts seeing him start the game... why start a guy who knows how to blaze down tired wings? Still, if he hadn't started, Japan might not have played as bravely as they did. I actually still thought my ticket had a great chance but once they took him out it was clear penalties were on everyone's mind.

You can count on it, immediately after Croatia went through, p2p markets on my p2p book gave 65/10 odds on Croatia (full game outcome) but some guy matched the entire market (only 0.1 BTC haha) immediately so odds wiped out to 56/10, which is still pretty good, so I already took it with winnings from Brazil last night.

Of course, FT result of 94/10 which is on Sportsbet now is my normal bet, but knowing the Vatreni way, I'm avoiding that haha.

It's been interesting so far, just dont know why I left Saka on my bench only to miss 10points and played Rabiot that have been 1point. Rabiot wasn't fair to me today but, we good still. Good day today!

Given that we have manual substitutions available, you should always set (start) your lineup with the players who play first. If they blank or you are unhappy with their points total, you can then replace them with those on your bench (who are yet to play). I took a quick look at your lineup, and you're very likely to miss out on Acuna's six points unless Spain and Brazil both keep clean sheets. That's 16 points wasted for no good reason.

Is anyone switching their armband from Messi to Mbappe, or are you content with those 14 points?

I'm going to stick with Messi as my captain <...>

Those who switched the captaincy to Mbappe can enjoy their 8 points extra...not a bad outcome.

Congrats to those who quadrupled on England, the first team to keep a clean sheet in this round, and attacking returns for multiple players. I'm happy to have both Saka and Foden on my team.

It's good to be recognised though, I don't feel so great at my current positioning in the FWC tournament. Round 3 games really got me good and it felt sick evn till now. Like, my entire team couldn't give me half the point I got from captaining K. Mbappe today!

Anyway, we've got a few rounds, good enough i had the chance to revamp my team and some increased transfer chances by the day. I really really have a taste for that top 10 and am going for it. This won't be just about winning but, making a mark that would stay for the next 4years!

I would love to have Perisic in my squad too, but I'm not just sure if it will be worth it, I'd definitely have jumped on the bandwagon if he was classified as a defender, because of the potential short at a clean sheet too, but without that advantage, I'd stick with natural forwards classified as midfielders or actually attacking minded midfields

Perišić never played anything else for Croatia than left wing. He was winger whole his career and just in the last few years started to play as very offensive wing back for his clubs. It would be outright stupid to classify him as defender. He is classified as midfielder but he should probably even be a forward. Mbappe, Messi and Neymar are all forwards and he plays that same position. Actually think of him as budget Mbappe, Messi and Neymar are both getting back much deeper for ball then Perišić for Croatia.

Yes, I totally agree with you, I understand his position very clearly but don't get me wrong. I only said that because I've watched him well and over again, over the years and I'm well aware that Perisic plays on the left flank for Croatia, but while at Inter and Bayern he played more down that left midfield and often dropping further back sometimes, that seemed to have affected he's goal scoring form/zeal, so he's been more of a provider than an actual goal scoring personnel, hence my sentiment of actually preferring outright midfielders with more goal intentions rather than being just a provider, Perisic is likely to have more assists to goals ratio, of something like 10:1 if not bigger, than getting goals for himself, so that's why I felt him being classified as defender who could be getting clean sheets as that would complement the deeper role he plays and he could still be providing those assists regardless, in FPL for instance I think he's racked up more points from Clean sheet than in goals and assist combined.

Dumfries in my team is I believe my first decision that got me net win over you and I finally managed to get a bit closer to the top positions in the league. Was about time for him to get something back. He is by far the most attacking defender in this WC.

Perišić is a great pick, he is our only nailed attacking player and he will play every minute for as long as he can stand on the pitch. Not so sure about Gvardiol, he is our best player in this WC but I don't see him getting many fantasy points. When it comes to set pieces, Lovren is usually the target. When it comes to open play our full backs are more attacking. While we are on topic of full backs, I have Borna Sosa (3.5M) in my team but there are rumors that he is tired and due for a rest.

I am probably ok with sticking on Messi, I got nice boost with that Dumfries pick so I feel like switching would temp my usually very sparse luck a bit too far. It is knockout stage and I am not expecting high scoring games. My pick for the pool is 2:0 France and I don't see Mbappe getting more than one attacking return here.

I've so far been very worried or rather curious about how I fallen so bad down the pecking order of the table without getting points significantly lower than others for the game week, but It's solely due to the fact that I never understood how the transfer and substitutions actually really works, but I think I've gotten a better understanding of the game play now, I only just hope it's not too late yet to catch up.

I just used my 12th man booster, and I splashed it on Ronaldo, I think he's due for a brace or even an hattrick right ?!

Hats off to those who kept Dumfries in their R16 teams! A goal and two assists is the near-perfect haul that everyone hoped for. It was painful to watch him get all those points knowing he's no longer on your team (and i've had him since day 1). Cry

The Socceroos scoring after a ricochet to wipe Argentina's clean sheet capped what was a very disappointing fantasy day.

Anyways, looking forward for the next matches...my differentials for this round are Perisic and Gvardiol. I fancy the Croats to score from a set piece, and both Gvardiol and Lovren, with their massive frames, should pose a threat to Japan's undersized defenders/players....Perisic is simply due a goal.

I'm going to stick with Messi as my captain, I initially didn't even have Mbappe on my team after the first draft, but I switched to him by replacing Lautaro Martinez some minutes before the deadline, my biggest flaw is the Netherlands concede, it would have been a big haul for me, or If I had went with Daley Blind, instead of Ake or Van Djik, It would have been complement, but since Argentina also conceded a goal, I felt it no team defense is actually safe right now or stands a better chances of keeping a clean sheet, perhaps just Brazil.

Thanks for the wishes, but I already realized that I can’t even get close to the top here and I give up Cheesy

In general, I started to learn the rules of Fantasy Football only when registering for this competition, so it is not surprising that I did not do well here. Therefore, I wish all the participants good luck and I myself stop managing my team. Hopefully next time I'll be more prepared.

I went for the win or burst for this round by banking on four defender from Netherlands, too bad I overlooked Daley Blind and Netherlands also had to concede, it would have made absolutely f**king sense if they kept the clean shit...

And Berghuis not coming on made lost a point in the other competition, Damn, Lose Van Gaal Huh
