Uruguay v Russia & Saudi Arabia v Egypt kicking off shortly.

jimmii

4 players for me in the Russia v Uruguay game and 3 of them aren't starting so that's a great! I've had the worst luck with my two Uruguay players so far! Hoping for Cheryshev to bring home the points again.

Starting with Isco as captain today he doesn't seem the type to bring in a double digit haul but you never know.

jimmii

And he goes and scores an og and gets taken off after 36 minutes :pac:

Suarez and Salah goes so far. Missed penalty for the Saudis too. At least the group isn't just being played out with everything settled now lots going on!

I did a last minute transfer at a cost to get in Cheryshev for Golovin.

DISASTER!

Ah well at least cheryshev didn't get a red card. He can be subbed. On the plus side I brought in the Egyptian keeper when I saw the line ups. Saved pen is nice. Pity he didn't save the second one mind.

1-1 Isco. He definitely won't score again....*crosses fingers*

Absolute belter from Qures Queres Qua... from Portugal!

spock.

Ronaldo missed pen. He won it too though a net of 0 points

Denmark XI: Schmeichel, Dalsgaard, Kjaer, Christensen, Jorgensen, Stryger, Delaney, Braithwaite, Eriksen, Sisto, Cornelius

France XI: Mandanda, Sidibe, Kimpembe, Varane, Hernandez, Nzonzi, Kante, Lemar, Griezmann, Dembele, Giroud

Australia XI: Ryan, Milligan, Behich, Risdon, Sainsbury, Mooy, Jedinak, Rogic, Leckie, Juric, Kruse

Peru XI: Gallese, Santamaria, Trauco, Ramos, Advincula, Cueva, Tapia, Yotun, Guerrero, Carrillo, Flores

There is a decent amount of rotation for France, Pogba dropped to the bench, as has Mbappe, Umtiti, Llori, Pavard, etc.

Stipulations:
• If Denmark win then they go through as group winners, France runners-up.
• If Denmark draw then they go through as runners-up alongside France.
• If Denmark lose then Australia must win if they're to go through as runners-up.

Expecting a 0-0....

shmeee

France ration killed me, 3 not playing; Mbappe, Llori and Pavard. Expected maybe 1 to not start. No points with 3 is a real downer.

Hard to take -4 hits then to get players in who will def start.

Scorpion Sting

Carrillo (Guerrero), Guerrero (No assist)

0-0 in Denmark-France match.

shmeee

And 2 of my argies don’t start either. Again couldn’t risk hits. I’ll be lucky to have 6 players get points at this rate!

Round 3 is mental with rotation.

Scorpion Sting

Messi (Banega)

Scorpion Sting

Moses penalty, Balogun assist (Conceded by Mascherano)

Granqvist is my new favourite player.

Scorpion Sting

Alvarez own goal, Sweden 3-0 up.

Scorpion Sting

Kim, Son (Joo)

Germany out of the World Cup.

jimmii

To think I was worried taking out my 1 point Nigeria keeper for my South Korea keeper! What a result!

Scorpion Sting

Dzemaili (Embolo), Drmic (Zakaria) ; Waston (Campbell), Sommer own goal, Bryan Ruiz missed penalty. Conceded by Zakaria. Penalty won by Campbell.

Feck sake I was so smug about getting neuer, hummels, and kimmich on a wildcard.

I thought Germany would go for goals.
Went with Werner, Reus, Muller on my wildcard..

NoviGlitzko

Wildcard has been nothing short of a disaster.

Bednarek (Kurzawa)

Mina (Quintero)

Japan go through on the Fair Play rule, Senegal are out.

Savage rotation this evening again.

Impossible round this!

Lads with Kane as Captain won’t be happy.

spock.

Rotation has been a killer for all of us this week.

Well at least I don't have Kane that is something to be happy about.

Not for me I wildcarded so 13 out of 15 played.
Still a sh*te score though.
Great world cup so far all the same excitement wise.

Scorpion Sting

Meriah own goal, Panama 1-0 up.

shmeee

And my only player playing out of 4 in this England game goes off at HT. What a mare of a GW.

Scorpion Sting

Januzaj (Tielemans)

Ben Youssef (Khazri)

Surely no one can beat my cluster**** WC for worst GW score..

Scorpion Sting

Khazri (Haddadi)

How are ye all doing rankings wise? I’ve been surprised to see I’m ranked around the 9.5k mark overall. Haven’t used the WC yet, forgot about it actually. Main scorers have been Coutinho, Eriksen, Lukaku and Granquist.

Had a poor enough round with 43pts.

jimmii

Doing rubbish but not really looking at it much. 20 points ish ahead in the only mini league I'm in.

WildCard Gw 3 thread.....is there a new WC strategy this year:eek::eek:
No WC means WorldCup:rolleyes:…..had my hopes up there

Incoming.....

16 points total as I made an extra transfer, and 12 points came from one player! :rolleyes:

The bench will come back in but its a -1 and a 1 so will cancel each other out.

21,500 which is a lot better than I expected after I made a total mess of GW2 when I forgot to set my team and then misread the rules regarding autosubs.

56 in this round on a wildcard so that’s something to be pleased about.

I was close only three off that plus I used WC and maximum captain



I can safely say I won't win this.

43 is a decent score this week I would say particularly if you still have your wildcard.

@ 9.5k you will have to take it seriously you might get a car out of it.

NoviGlitzko

Was in 1k before GW3. But that 30 probably ends any chance for me.

KevIRL

OR is 3388

Thought I was out of the running for the FSA paid league but a universally bad gw3 means it's not out of the question yet. I like the look of my gw4 squad with a few differentials thrown in for good measure
