Waiting on squads to be announced I’d imagine.

World Cup starts 14th June. Plenty of time

Wilberto

Nope.

Mr.Nice Guy

It appears the official one will open on June 7th.

FFS explains the FiT world cup fantasy game (available on mobile)

https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2018/05/26/how-to-play-world-cup-fantasy-with-fit/

I was interested until the part where it explains that you can purchase a 4th transfer during each game round (you get 3 by default). You can make your tansfers during the game round - effectively giving you 14 players per round if use your 3 f/t this way, and 15 players if you purchase that extra 4th transfer. It's free to play other than that 4th transfer purchase trick, which is a pity as your chances are going to be diminished quite a bit unless you fork up to have that extra player during each round

official WC game is up and running. I threw this squad together:

Alisson N'diaye
Cedric Cahill Marcelo Meunier Ignashevic
Carrasco Matic Casemiro Kouyate J.Rodriguez
Falcao Messi Griezmann

spock.

Boards league code: FY6MEGLZ

I normally do a Fantasy on excel with a draft game and normal rules for the World Cup. Make up our own scoring too so everything is customisable. Was with mates so whatsapp was used for tables etc. I have all the templates at home for this and all I've to do is copy and paste squads of wiki onto it. Have to manually put the scores in for each player each game but not complicated.

Custom scoring off top of my head was:
extra time winner 2 pts
Final appearance 1 point
No minus points for yellow card if received for celebrating
Hattrick bonus

Let me know if anyone is interested and can do a draft (if enough players) and can start a new thread. Only thing is I'd need a helper filling in scores as don't have near the free time as I did previously. Everything can be done on Google Docs so all can see what's happening.

Anytime I go to create team the page just goes blank, some annoying.

Having trouble finding budget midfielders/strikers. Everyone just seems so highly priced.

Just reading the rules bored the face off my head.

Far far too interactive round to round.

I’m not willing to put in the time or effort.

You’d need to be starting with Belgium and England attackers for the group stages and then offload them all for the second round.

Zero interest.

I think they've simplified since last time too! I don't like the captain chip they've come up with removes the skill element even more.

The Sun are also doing one, Imagine there will be quite a few who want nothing to do with The Sun

There's a free league already, code is FY6MEGLZ.

Totally different in regards to player positions compared to the English Fantasy League.

David Silva/Sterling etc are down as forwards. Good stuff, because that's what they actually are!

He plays as a support/second striker for Spain - forward

Idowu (Nigeria), Escobar (Panama) and Sakai (Japan) are 3 that look likely to start.

Assuming you were being a small bit tongue-in-cheek and not being a príck?

I was talking about Hiroki Sakai who is 4.0 but I see he hasn't been starting the last few matches so maybe avoid him. Youssouf Sabaly is another 4 mill player who may start. He plays for Senegal.

I got caught out by the transfer page on the website. Only saw one Sakai on it

Yeah sorry, tongue-in-cheek.

Click View More for the full list of their defenders. Hiroki Sakai is the one that's played in all the qualifiers and is in predicted lineups.

No worries. On second thoughts, I think the 4.0 Sakai will start as Japan have been playing second-string sides a lot in their friendlies.

the whole year inn

Who Irans first choice keeper?

Does anyone know how the 1 free transfer works in mcdonalds game. Is that use the free transfer within the round or for the next round. Its hard to tell becuase you seem to get a wildcard during 25th-30th

It is within round. There will be a cut of time for when Round 2 starts so basically anytime between start of Round 1 and Start of Round 2

And does that player become active within the round?

I.e can you get 12 players playing within a round?

So when my team is set. Say i have a Russian player play on the 14th, can I then transfer after that match for a Uruguay player for the 15th and get the points that day

You're getting transfers and substitutions mixed up. Your transfer becomes available in the next round but you can sub off any player within in a round just like your example with a Uruguay player subbing in for a Russian. You can use all 4 subs if you want.

Max captain active

Ok so its like normal FPL so if I use a transfer in round one the player wont then be in my team till round 2

Enjoy lads and good luck with it. No interest whatsoever in doing it myself. I want to enjoy the months football without fretting over lineups, assists, cs and bonus points.
