Lineup surprises again. Iniesta, Carvajal and Cheryshev all don't start

I don't think Mbappe's performances in the group stages suggested he was capable of doing what he did yesterday. How and ever, it will be hard not to draft him in for the next round, although he will face a bigger challenge against a dogged Uruguayan defense. Argentina were wide open yesterday

I went for Carvajal of course, should have went for the security of Pique.

Scorpion Sting

Ignashevich own goal

Scorpion Sting

Dzyuba penalty, conceded by Pique. Pique booked.

Scorpion Sting

Russia win on penalties.

Scorpion Sting

Zanka (Delaney), Mandzukic (No assist)

Scorpion Sting

Modric missed penalty, saved by Schmeichel, won by Rebic and conceded by Zanka.

Scorpion Sting

Croatia go through on penalties.

Scorpion Sting

Neymar (Willian)

Scorpion Sting

Firmino (No assist)

EDIT: Thought Neymar would get an assist for that but Ochoa's touch on the shot means no assist going by Fifa's bizarre assist rules.

He wasn't.

That assist rule is poor though.

Belgium 2-2 Fellaini (E Hazard)
Belgium 3-2 Chadli (Meunier)

jimmii

I've gone top after a good bench boost but I have no wild card and only 11 players playing next round so might have burned my chips too early. I'm still gonna use Max captain in the quarters though as it makes more sense to use it over 4 games than 2 to me.

the whole year inn

going over my points here and in round 3 there was no automatic subs made,I have players with zero minutes playing and players on the bench with points and could be subbed in.Was I supposed to make the subs my self or is this an error?

If you made any captain changes or other sub changes then autosubs don't come into action. Much the same happened to me in Round 2 when I forgot to set my team up and then made a few captain changes. I had a player with 6 points ready to come in for Danilo who didn't play but misread the rules and he didn't come in unfortunately.

Yea thats it,I changed the captain,I was just looking at the points and seen I could change and both got the same points in the end.Cant wait till the new FF starts.

gormdubhgorm

I was very lucky sweden qualified as I have olsen, granqvist and claesson.

Just had to get rid of three Spanish fellas so I have a squad of 14 out 15 inui the only casualty for the QF.

5 transfers after the QF stages so it is all luck depending on who survives.

3 each of France, Brazil, Sweden
2 each of Croatia, Belgium
and a token English player

Means if France, Brazil and Sweden are knocked out I might as well give up!
