    France v Argentina kicked off at 3.

    France went ahead through a Griezmann penalty. Mbappe won it, fouled by Rojo who was booked. Tagliafico also booked.

    Anyone go with Mbappe?

    Had him in my draft yesterday but decided Neymar was worth the extra 3m :rolleyes:

    I did, but I captained Greizmann (penalties was the logic)

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    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.

    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.

    Had Meunier for the groups but decided to switch for the knockouts. To Vert? No of course not to Alder! So far this round I have two 0s, two 1s, SIX 2s, a 3 and a 6. Brutal.

    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.
