@Sandikan @Samid @2mufc0 …anyone…

Thoughts? Changes?

German attacker and maybe a Danish defender? I'm not too keen on the France double up upfront, I have a feeling Giroud may be rested, Mbappe maybe too. England defence is also a good shout this week. I like the Qatar fixture but all it takes is one flukey goal and triple defence Cs is wiped out.

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"
Load up on attacking mids? 7 points for a goal is ridiculous. Surely turtlehead will be rested?

A bit of waste using the WC this week imo because you can’t take advantage of the hack with transfers being free next week anyway.
missed it, had some real life stuff getting in the way.

Ta. ive gone for a few players in earlier fixtures and will check teams.. then have time (and fixtures) to swap them.

Yes, Qatar is an “all in” punt. No guts no glory?

All looks strong enough.
I've gone Gakpo up front for a bit more excitement v Qatar. Captain for now.

Musiala for Germany has looked lively without putting that into points yet and Alba 2 assists in 2 games.
I've left Saka in, but will transfer out if he doesn't start.

Hoping you can still switch captain once like other rounds.

Bruno points locked in now. One lucky bastad who I thought had missed a trick when he left captain on Kane and didn't move to either Mbappe and Messi jammed out with setting him captain!

Will be interesting at 3pm to see how many people have used the wildcard hack.

Gakpo a goal as captain then.
But is that enough to leave as captain? Difficult one!
Two cleanies and Gakpo is a decent start.

Left Saka in, but if he's not starting I think i'll downgrade keeper 2 to 3.5m, and bring Bruno back in for Saka.

Won't struggle to field 11, and haven't used any "proper" transfers yet, so that's what they're for!

I was thinking if Mbappe didn't start I could do a transfer there, but probs best to deal with Saka to Bruno with my 2 now. (Turner for 4.5m on the bench down to a cheaper guy to facilitate it)

With 3 Dutch hauls already, will probably already be a case of who to play as it is, so probably won't need an Mbappe switch.

That late Foden to Saka move is working out nicely for me.

Saka to Foden you mean?

Considered that move but went Bruno in the end.

Happy Shaw played 60 and held a 6
Sorry yeah the other way round.

Damnit. So many went for Foden and double England defence. Argh.

Think I'm switching to Mbappe if he starts. Although even if he does, I suppose he definitely won't play 90.

I've got Mbappe, but might as well just leave him in there. If he doesn't come on/score, then just a case of switching to a bench guy?

Have Kudus/Casemiro/Fernandes to come in.

I'd just bin him. Bruno could easily be benched.

Have used my free transfers, so think I'll risk it.
A few rivals seem to have Mbappe captain, so hopefully they stick like that. Especially those who have moved captains and are now locked that way.

Thanks guys, I ended up missing the deadline anyway. Let's hope France continues to stink it up and he comes on.

on. Is that good? Or not ?
I think it's good in my league, as a few have left him captain.
Not sure any of the top dogs have done the 2 week wildcard hack, so I should be in a decent place currently hovering 3rd, with 3 decent mids to come in for any busts like Maele with his 1 pointer. Will await the lineups though as they're all on Friday.

Messi captainers fuming.
Messi captainers who moved from Gakpo...incandescent with rage.

He's trying hard to get us some points, he's shooting left right and centre. Just seems like one of those days for him :(

I have to keep remembering I could do with him scoring, bearing in mind top of the league doesn't have him, and no-one has him captained.
Whoops.

He has somehow racked up 3 points.
