    Very poor return so far this round - I knew it was all going too well. Relying on my five players from France and Spain to do well tomorrow. Enrique has to start Moreno this time.

    It would be better to use limitless in round 3 if you still have it then use wild card?

    One of the downsides to using limitless in Matchday 3 is that is likely that a lot of the pricey players with 2 wins under their belt might get rested. So in terms of the unlimited budget element of the limitless chip, you might not get the full benefit at that point.

    However the benefit of using the limitless chip now and WC later is that you can set up you team nicely for the quarter finals and beyond (using the WC).

    My view was to use limitless in the last 16 and wild card for the quarters. That was dependent on surviving this matchday with a half decent score which doesn't seem to be working :)

    Matchday 3 will be a tricky one to nail 11 starters. At least we will have the Italy lineup beforehand (and Turkey, Switzerland and Wales if anyone is punting on them).

    I will probably look at WC with:
    3 Italy (can see the lineup)
    3 Germany (need a win over Hungary)
    2-3 Holland (versus North Macedonia)

    Then a few Belgium, Ukraine and a couple of punts
    Belgium, Netherlands and Italy are already qualified aren’t they? I’ll be avoiding them, look at the team Belgium put out against England when they were already qualified in 2018. Benched all the starters

    Think limitless in round three, then we have unlimited transfers for the last 16, then wildcard for the last 8. But it's finding out who will play in round three is the key

    On those teams

    Italy-we will know the lineup. Still think a 1 or 2 nil against Wales (2 Italy defenders/gk plus one other)
    Belgium-a couple of players just back from injury who featured in the last game-I’ll probably look to get Hazard and KDB in for that one
    Holland-looks like one or two players might have picked up a knock in the last game-I’ll aim to get in their replacements

    We already get unlimited transfers for free for (prior to) the last 16.

    Captain a french player tomorrow and the game week will be half decent ;)

    Actually you are right. Didn't read the rules properly!

    If I captain Kante I don't think it will be that decent! Ronaldo it is :)

    Rest of the team was a disaster though. Have to have a think about whether I use the Limitless chip or not for matchday 3.

    I'll be invoking limitless after that disaster round. The good part being some quality teams still have something to play for. And Kevin de Bruyne.

    Playing the WC. Current draft

    GK: Donnaruma Hradecky
    DEF: Spinazolla Gosens Dumfries Maehle Torres
    MID: KDB Perisic Gnabry Beradi Yarmolenko
    FW: Muller Malen Yaremchuk

    A couple of doubts over some players starting who I might switch out (eg Dumfries). Also half tempted to put Embolo in instead of Malen (would need to downgrade a few players to do it)

    Bit of tight squeeze trying to fit Hazard in as well so I’ve left him out….for now

    Is there are any reason not to go big and put players in like Mbappe and Ronaldo. That group is very open still.

    Yea true. I'm gonna wait for the Italy line up before pulling the trigger. My team isnt too bad for this week if my Italy lads start.

    If you sub players in during the transfer window or change tactics before a match day starting, does that count as a manual sub for the matchday and you won't be able to sub those players on again or can you do what you like with the team pre match day and then make subs during the match day as normal?

    yeah it would be great to have it as a one week punt or let the free hit chip to be limitless in transfer value.

    Mind you I packed my defence with premium 5.5m-6m defenders on the limitless chip and they all blanked!

    I have 1 team at 744 in that but annoyingly I missed the deadline for this matchday-is it 1 hour before kickoff in bethard?

    Edit: Actually 90 mins before kick off

    My limitless squad was:

    Pickford Simon
    Spinazzola Meunier Rudiger Gosens Dumfries
    Havertz Bale Sterling Yarmolenko KDB
    Ronaldo Lukaku Mbappe

    Wasn't able to monitor team sheets for the first 2 matches today, so not a great start.

    I'm also on KDB. I'm happy I switched Mbappe for Depay now, I thought he might be rested but took the risk with 3 quality subs.

    He's built up a nice lead with yourself but no chips left. It will be tough to catch you guys, I'd say the wild card is worth around 15-20 points so hopefully it will be a close finish.

    My thinking behind using everything early was that we've lots more transfers in the later rounds anyway and should be less lineup uncertainty then too following the round of 16 unlimited transfers.


    Damsgaard with a goal there for me, nice.

    It was probably the right tactic. I didn't really consider it as I just enjoying the football and didn't think about the chips until this round. Damsgaard was a great pick, I hope the Danes get through.
