Mr Wallin Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I'm doing a team on the Telegraph game too, looks alright. Will probably try out the McD one too but if it's as bad as it seems then interest will be dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astafjevs Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Can make a case for either. I'd for Koscielny, Ozil and Iniesta. But then I'm not sure if Koscielny is first choice. I thought he was, then I saw them playing Varane-Sakho the other night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noikeee Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The McDonalds one is a bit of a shambles tbh. I've basically just picked 11 players and am going to leave it. Why on earth ask people to pick 23 players. Utterly pointless. You're gonna get a lot more points if you pick 23 or at least some 20 good players, then use your subs. The only real problem is that the budget is so short. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real problem is that the budget is so short. How will you get more points though? You can only get points for 11 players. I understand you can sub someone out if they don't score many but still, you'd rather have 11 heavy hitters than 20 average players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was, then I saw them playing Varane-Sakho the other night. FFS, I avoided Varane as I thought Sakho might play Need to have a think, but I'm gonna go for the former I think. Ozil and James Rodriguez are the same price though, can't really choose between them. Will Ozil be starting after his so/so recent form? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noikeee Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'd much rather have 20 average players because you cannot guarantee a good score every game out of every single one of your 11 players. It's always been my strategy in the Champions League fantasy football to pick 16 guys that will play and likely start, then swap them around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baptista_8 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 That's fair enough. At the moment I've got a 3-4-3. One good back-up defender (Blind) and one good back-up striker (Postiga). The rest of my back-ups are pretty awful! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baptista_8 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 When we're subbing players out, can we change formation? E.g. I play Sergio Ramos in a 4-4-2, he concedes five, could I sub him out for a midfielder and change formation midway through a matchday? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG17 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Sun one is annoying with some players missing and having to pick 4 defenders. Also no points for assists which means I'm looking for goal scoring midfielders. Which team should I go with? Benaglio Luiz Zabaleta Ramos Srna Shaqiri Toure Vidal Lallana Messi Aguero or Benaglio Luiz Zabaleta Lichsteiner Vidal Lallana Di Maria Messi Aguero Dmiric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorg Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 The Telegraph one is very straightforward but I am struggling with my formation at the moment. It is currently 433: Akinfeev (Russia) Debuchy (France) Godin (Uruguay) Blind (Holland) Durm (Germany) Di Maria (Argentina) Dzagoev (Russia) Hazard (Belgium) Neymar (Brazil) Martinez (Colombia) Drmic (Switzerland) I am just hoping they all start.

I have used the BBC Sport guide to help me out a bit. I went for Téo Gutierrez in the Telegraph one. Considerably cheaper than Jackson Martínez (he's 3.1 I think), and will definitely play by the looks of things. And he has a better goalsccoring record for Colombia. Saves you a whole load of budget to get rid of one of those defenders and bring in a midfielder for 3-4-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReggaeBwoy Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Ramos is a very good striker but imo it could very likely that he might see limited minutes at this WC assuming he gets minutes at all as Gutierrez, Martinez and Bacca are all ahead of him and while it is likely they will play 2 upfront they could easily play with 1 striker as well.

ReggaeBwoy Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Need some more opinions on this...James Rodriguez or Ozil? I would say Rodriguez. I think both will score points but Rodriguez is cheaper and will allow you to bring in better players. But now maybe I say Ozil as I think Germany will score for fun and he takes penalties, scores and assists. Tough one. I change. Ozil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
