Yeah, you are in. I don't know how the game orders participants, it isn't alphabetically or chronologically. PITA to search trough when our league grows.

Sounds great, I'll give it a try of course now when I can chose whomever I like and not just some poor bastards that I actually own in Sorare. I know you are taking Sorare quite seriously and playing it regularly so feel free to share some tips on the road to world cup.

Im in! I did use the link from sportsbet… Can you see my name Slissy? I did use the auto pick first then later change my team😄

usually, you have to own it, but for this special, you get to choose 8 cards, with 100 points budget (those are not cards that are for sale and you get it for free)

for each round, two per week, best managers are getting limited cards, and almost all (first 100k) are getting new common card

there are separate competitions for people that own cards, per rarity levels as well

It is very exciting to be in these beautiful competitions, both the excitement of the world cup and the focus on success in the Fantasy league are very pleasing.

That looks really really exciting, need to study the promo page, so I just sign up from inside there and no need to register on forum right? Sorry feel a bit confused.

For main World cup, I'll get it up for SPAIN. I know nobody rates them too much but this is Pedri and Gavi's first World Cup and I bet you they will do everything they can to impress, and this will be a tournament of young stars, to say goodbye to old ones (or are we still gonna see Messi and Ronaldo in 2026 lol).

But for Fantasy, I will pick South American teams, I think maybe Mexico for Fantasy, at the moment.

I guess this means the Radio/TV guys are gonna be studying a lot of half of the teams to be able to commentate

Well if you used your real nick, by real I mean casperBGD, I would have been able to tell you that you are in You guys can't see who is in until first round scores are in but I can.

That fantasy on Sorare is same story as before? You have to own the cards? I would play gladly if I could have my choice of players like here but that is unfortunately not the idea behind Sorare.

entered my squad with a link, but I do not see any participants there
although captain is Trofo, so I presume I am on a right spot

do not look at my team, it was an autocomplete, and Neymar is captain (would certainly not be when I finished clean-up at later stage)

there is also World Cup fantasy on Sorare, if anyone like, you get eight players, and compete with others, Limited cards are rewards for best in each round

Richarlison is always part of Brazil squad while Firminho has been on the verge for long time. It is usually quite difficult to get yourself into national squad once you are on the fringe. Lots of players from Brazil left behind and disappointed with selection, that is just how it must be in country blessed with so many great players. That being said I like Firmihno way more than Richarlison but I am not the manager

If you guys want a real shocker, Moutihno has been left out from Portugal selection. That one baffles me much more than Firminho.

Game has just been pushed up to the net, it isn't even finished yet. Lots of players missing, understandably so since we are still getting line ups from different countries. There was always accompanying app and I expect one to be this season as well. Will probably go live in a day or two.

I gotta agree that it's probably the worse fantasy platform or interface I've ever seen so far and I had to download the FIFA+ with the hope it will be somewhat better on mobile, but there is no fantasy section in the app and it only redirects to the website upon clicking on fantasy, but I think I'll get acquainted to it over the next few days after all the teams have been finalized.

 

I really find it hard to understand why he didn't make the squad, but Richarlison who hasn't been getting much playing time and is probably in a worse match fitness state was able to get a place within the squad.

I will write some columns for Sportsbet on this topic but they will be geared towards players that are already familiar with Premier League Fantasy. I will link or share them here and you just ask if something is not clear to you. I can talk hours about Fantasy so don't hesitate.

If you never played Fantasy before just remember if some player is good in real life that does not mean he is good in Fantasy. Read trough the scoring but gist of it is to pick attacking minded defenders like Trent or players that have penalties. Defensive midfielders are usually a big no, so prime Kante is terrible fantasy player even though he is great player in real life.

The interface of the FIFA website hurts me a lot, but today I will try to do everything. Thanks for another great competition!
I have never played fantasy football until now, so where is it better to read about its algorithms and in general what should I do there and what are the criteria for winning?

Eh, sorry my man, I might have joined this already through the SB website itself (me see, me click, me join). Funny enough, I remembered my FIFA account so I had to update some info and joined the league right away.

Still, I'll send you a PM, you'll let me know if I screwed up. I'll try not to abandon this one like I have EPL one...

Oh, and I just realised Firmino is not in Brazil team, it was always going to be tough and I know he's not samba, but I'd have put him in eyes closed for his price/value.

I know, honestly still trying to soak in all the implications. There has been some misunderstandings so I will clear up everything with Sportsbet and then update the OP. As it looks now, that league on Sportbet will be official one and open for everybody with Sportsbet account. We may still have 2 leagues maybe, or I will just return the funds to Sportsbet or use them on some other promo. Hopefully I'll let you all know before the end of the day.

In the meantime i have a Fantasy chat session on Sportsbet in couple of hours (6PM GMT) so drop by guys if you have the time.

It is final now. There will be one world cup fantasy league Sponsored by Sportsbet. You can join it trough promo page on site. If I already sent you the link you are already in. No point in sending me PMs anymore, just go to promo page and join.

I talked to them and they will set up some sort of form to link your fantasy and sportsbet account. Be sure to do that step before cutoff date as well.

And now for the best news, this league is sponsored with 5k$ and has rewards in USDT, which is much better than initial 2k in BTC that I was promised, especially with all the blood in the streets.

This will serve as discussuion thread for wold cup fantasy and there could be some extra prizes or free bets for forum people as well. I will change the OP later today when I get home.

Is this fantasy league different than the one posted last night on Sportsbet's website?

https://sportsbet.io/promotions/2022-world-championship-fantasy-offer

The prize pool, paid places, and rewards seem different, but the league id is the same.

By the way, the registration form on the site is missing, meaning you can't link your FIFA account and Sportsbet's username.

Hey guys please don't share the link I sent you over PM with other persons, I already had to remove somebody from our league and there is only 5 of us in for now. No point in doing it anyway since I am manually adding each of you in my spreadsheet when sending the link. If you aren't in spreadsheet you will not get the reward as simple as that.

Small change regarding rewards. I will be getting funds from sportsbet, probably tomorrow, so they will be escrowed. Prizes will be in BTC so I will recalculate and post exact numbers after I get the money and see how much BTC we will get for 2K. Crazy day on markets today so who knows where the price will be tomorrow.

^{I'm going to do this before we have  "20N" with only hours to start.}

For now I use the auto pick button as my "recruiter"  



I have to deal with the star MBaPPE, I hope I will go with the management of this World Cup Fantasy to 1st place...

So, I hope to have the opportunity to appear on the OP's list, in any case thanks for the possible opportunity to connect to this event organized(OP) by Sportsbet.io

Sportsbet are really making their mark in this world cup which is commendable , and for that am certainly getting a jersey of one of its club partners sponsored teams... maybe an Arsenal  Jersey .

Will be on the lookout for those fantasy football articles and probably catch you on SB clubtalk to get ahead of the competition  

Going to be an active World Cup courtesy of Sportsbet!
Thanks so much for doing this, Trofo.

I did not check the rules this season but if they are like in past few seasons it is much easier then Premier League Fantasy. You can make manual substitutions every day after the matches finish and even change your captain. For instance you give captain band to Neymar on day 1, he gets one point you throw him to the bench and give a captain band to someone playing on day 2.

Much more forgiving then giving Cancelo captain band this week in PL, like I did

I created my fifa+ account and send you a pm with my details.

And just when i thought i'd get a much-needed break from the headache called FPL, here comes another fantasy game. 

I skimmed through the rules and scoring real quick, it's a touch different than FPL. It'll be a nightmare to pick a team with so many good options across every position...

@Trofo, thanks for creating this, and props to Sportsbet for sponsoring yet another competition! This should be fun! 👍
