World Cup Fantasy Football (OP updated with leagues)

jimbling

ah, ye guys are no help

15 minutes to decide to risk putting captaincy on Villa. I hear he's playing up front on his own.... so maybe worth it.
Torres on the bench.

Vokes

Well its all about the Attacking Bonus and Goals.

Kaka has an Attacking Bonus of +5, which means he made 10 attacking plays. Plus he scored no goals.

Do you think Villa will make more than 10 attacking plays? i.e. will he receive the ball in the box, make passes into the box, etc,.. 10 times?

I think he'll certainly score a goal anyway.

Is that how it works? This seems strange as I got 0 attacking bonus points for Ozil in the Germany game even though he made loads of attacking plays.

Disaster choosing Palacios instead of Schweinsteiger....

Got someone elses yellow...

Peyton Manning

4 for me to play today.

Gary Medel (Chile)
Matias Fernandez (Chile)
Xavi (Spain)
David Villa (Spain)

Lads any one I should get in for cahill for the next round, only 5.9m but there has to be a gem out there somewhere for that

Ji Sung might be a good option.

Cypher_sounds

Pick Dempsey if hes within your price range;)

BASTARD

I think you're a bit mad for taking the captaincy off Maicon tbh. 13pts in the bag and on the dream team!! Granted Villa has the potential to score big, but I settled with leaving my captaincy at Messi.

Round 2 games start tonight, I have forlan on the bench, when can I bring him in

Vokes

You can bring him in now.

Degag

Thank fook Silva starts.... Was sweating it there!

As far as i understand it you must play two passes into the box to a player of your own team and possession is maintained

For every 2 balls delivered into the penalty area * 1 * Ball entry into attacking penalty area whilst maintaining possession: Player making run, Player passing, Player receiving, Cross.

Kaka is a link up man so would have been alot further up the pitch than ozil with a lot of his passes ending up in the box.

timetogetfit

I think ill carry my transfer over to R3

Thought Cesc would start,

feck it anyway

Why? He's never a starter for Spain.

Always comes on though and usually does well as he is eager to impress and the opposition are tired by then

Mars Bar

Brought Medel in for Pienaar and chanced my arm with Pavon for Higuain so I broke even.

Finish with 84 for this round.

Only on 54 myself with Villa(c) and Ramos to play. Hopefully removing Kaka as captain will not come back to bite me on the arse....

The target, after a not great start, was to hit the 70 mark so as not to fall too far behind so early

Frisbee

Considering Round 1 ends after the Spain game. but the First Round 2 game is tonight how come we can't make subs until 12 tonight?

EDIT: Never Mind, got it

Go to home page and you can set up your round 2 team now.

System automatically picks players by date of their next match for the next round so people won't lose out by that anyway.

Mr. Guappa

You are now able to look at other peoples team from the first round of games

Splainc

Ramos has 2 attacking bonus points already. Sweet

I Pique

Yeah. Thank god.

80 points last night, after bringing in the Spanish, I now have 76 and lost a Head-to-Head match by 2 points.Disastrous

Mr. Guappa

Benaglio you HERO

His 11 points drags me up to a not totally disatrous 58 points!

paul150

Unbelievable, forgot to make subs last night so didnt get to bring in Xavi and Villa thought i was going to miss out on a bag of points haha

Emm, scratch that. Never mind

Mr.Nice Guy

Casillas and Villa didn't do great for me but at least I didn't take the captaincy off Maicon. I'd say a fair few stuck it on Villa.

Frisbee

I hate you David Villa.

That is all.

Mars Bar

Am I the only person who had no Spanish player in their team?!

Rooney -> Villa cost me 1 point... Inler sitting on the bench with 7. Whoops..

subbing in for the last games will always be the toughest. if Spain had of trounced the Swiss as expected and you had subbed in Inler for someone it would have been a stupid move also so you win some ya lose some

Should I keep Ozil or trade him out to fit in Podolski?

v3ttel

Imagine the odds you would have gotten on Rooney, Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka, Fabiano, Ribery, Torres, Villa, Tevez, Lampard not getting a goal or assist between them in the opening round of games.

Bit of a dilemma with Buffon now. Do I stick with him, chance he'll be fit? Or bring in another keepr (don't really fancy bringing in another keeper - any suggestions?).

Maybe save 2 million on Buffon and upgrade Gourcuff/Inler...decisions.....

I'd hang onto Ozil. I take it you would be taking a 3 point hit to bring in Podolski? Not worth it IMO, when you consider that they could be through with a win and rest some players for the last game, and you get unlimited transfers for the Last 16 too. Plus with the large squads we have I don't see the point in taking the 3 point hit.

Get rid of Buffon. Looks like he is out altogether. Nice trade would be for the swiss goalkeeper. Plays Chile and Honduras.
