So the points aren't updated fully yet. Will they be after games straight away? If not then subs can be really hard to know for next game if we do not know the points.
This game is a mess. FPL, UCL and other games update the points live very clearly.
I am only 3 or 4 players away from my ideal wildcard team, feels a bit pointless to wildcard for the sake of Maehle, Costa, Olsen and Kudus -> Sandro, Gonda, Kamada and Paqueta. Would you do it or save it for MD3
The consensus before the tournament started seemed to be that MD3 was best time for it so that you can always get ahead of squad rotation before every match. But with so many 'big' teams underperforming, it's less likely they'll rotate in MD3.
tl;dr I don't know
I mean how many benched players do you expect to pick, like you still have 2 transfers, it doesn't make much sense to pick players from teams who'll rotate heavily anyway
How's this looking -
Noppert (Rochet)
Shaw Castagne Maele (Sosa) (Milenkovic)
Bergwijn Di Maria De Bruyne Almalki (Bruno Fernandes)
Kane Messi Giroud
Captaincy dilemma: Kane (C) with VC KDB/Bruno, or Bergwijn (C) and VC Kane?
"A Manual Substitution is only when you sub out a locked player from your lineup for an unlocked player from your bench.
Similarly to Captains, you can make unlimited substitutions between unlocked players in the Matchday, which won’t affect your eligibility to receive Automatic Substitutions at the end of the Matchday.
However, you are able to sub out a locked player from your lineup for an unlocked player on your bench. If you do this, you will lose the points for the subbed out player from your team score (this deduction will be applied when the next fixture in the Matchday commences). You will receive the points for your subbed in player when they begin playing in the Matchday."
Twat.

What transfers should i think about making for md2 and should I do the transfers after the players play or after the whole md1 is over
How to create draft team for Matchday 2? There isn't any option showing in laptop. While the mobile app is allowing to transfer players, it is driving to confirm the transfer.
Is there a simple way to prepare the draft for the first team like in Euro or UCL fantasy?
Can I sub in an already subbed off player who didn’t play? I made a mistake of starting the Match Day with Rochet and Dalot who play Thursday and subbed them for players playing earlier.
I’m now getting an error message when trying to confirm Rochet in, Martinez out.
You have to make at least 1 transfer in MD1 if you don't want to waste it. Personally I am thinking of making 2 because I don't trust the developers that the transfer rollover will work as planned.
Have you done this yet? I don't trust them either, but there's a couple of reports of people being docked 3 points per locked-locked transfer without any warning
Edit: nvm. Match day 2 started early. Carried over fine
I got only 1pt from every defender and midfielder.. shoud I use the chip or trust?
Raum-Cancelo-Trent-Davies
Kamada-DI maria-De paul-valverde-musiala
Mbappe-Suarez-Morata
Would it be worth it transferring 2 Japanese defenders for this match day only? Rest of my team is banging but my 2 defenders are facing Spain and France, wondering if swapping them is a waste
Used my wildcard but not sure who to replace Neymar with I'd say the best options are
Depay
Giroud
Gakpo
Dembele
Lautaro
Vini
But really not 100% sure who's the best out of the lot
Rochet (NGAPANDOUETNBU)
Trippier maehle Dumfries Sosa Raum
Kostic bergwijn musiala di maria skov olsen
Mbappe messi kane
Looking to get richarldson for kane and some english and spanish midfielder. Dunno what to do with the defenders then.
Any ideas?
RMT (WILDCARD, 0ITB)
Not too sure on the Brazil triple up, Vini Jr could be changed for anyone (perhaps Giroud) and I can upgrade somewhere else in the team with that extra money. Also not sure on the England triple, perhaps Gavi could come in over Bellingham? Please give me your suggestions!

This journalist is the one who broke the Mendy to be benched news. Dunno if he's totally reliable but has a big following
I have one transfer left thinking of transferring kane for mbappe due to the injury. Neymar is also injure so I need a ST for MD2 any advice? Another player I did think of switching was trippier
Appreciate the help, heard trippier might have lost his starting spot. Hence why I was a bit worried but guess I’ll use the transfer on neymar for ricarlson he looked good on finishing the opportunities he was given he capitalized. One last question Messi or Kane for captain MD2?
Don't think Trippier would lose his spot. Reports from Athletic are England will name an unchanged side.
You can keep Kane as your first captain and change to Messi if he scores low.
Wildcard MD 2 Team
Noppert
Dumfries - Trippier - Hernandez - Sabaly - Sosa
Perisic - Saka
Kane(C) - Mbappe - Messi
(Subs) Gonda - Kamada - Milinkovic - Paqueta
Thoughts? they should all start the only question mark is on Kane but it seems like he will be fine but I don't see any weaknesses in this team.
Yeah Belgian or Brazilian are the likely choices it's better than having money sitting ITB. Or you could just wait for the matchday and keep the funds for any last minute changes.
Yeah just don't know where to spread the money tbh. Don't want De Bruyne. Already have 3 good attackers and defenders are set as well. Just feel like punting on him idk
How is this squad?
Any injuries, non-nailed I need to be aware of?
Cheers!

I would sell Mendy and Maguire for less expensive players and use the funds to upgrade on Paqueta.
Although this might be completely reactionary, I had him for MD1 and sold him after watching Brazil yesterday, because it seemed to me Paqueta would be more likely to assist-the-assister though he had a great pass.
Not sure tbh, midfielders seem so hit and miss, doesn't seem to have any good value propositions around.
I went with Bergwijn-Di Maria- De Bruyne- Bruno Fernandes with Almalki as an enabler fodder but not too sure of it either.
Looks good on paper but Di Maria was poor vs KSA, Bruno looks sharp but Portugal's coach is abit crap, whilst KDB didn't deliver vs Canada in MD1..
RMT
WC
Noppert / Gonda
Dumfries / Shaw / T Hernandez / Sabaly / Sosa
Saka / KDB / Bergwijn / Kamada / Milinkovic-Savic
Mbappe / Messi / Richarlison
Bergwijn and SMS are the two I’m most unsure on. Not sure whether I should downgrade one to someone like Zielinksi/Kudus/De Paul to upgrade the other to Tadic/Perisic/Olmo etc
Wait so are we allowed 2 transfers within the matchday? Or is this change one of the ones I'm allowed for matchday 2?
Match day 1 hasn’t even started yet 💀
:)
Yo can you pin the rant thread at least
Thought i did, should be now
Match day 2 started immediately after the Brazil-Serbia final whistle, i.e 4 hours early. Hope no one was saving their transfers!
Fuck didn't they say that md2 will start at midnight?
Damm, i lost a transfer
Wait, what??
Did exactly that!
How do I change my MD2 captain?
Yup, it's locked for me as well .
It's let me change captain. However it won't let me make any transfers now.
@mods id suggest keep the thread as sorted by new when you open it
So the points aren't updated fully yet. Will they be after games straight away? If not then subs can be really hard to know for next game if we do not know the points. This game is a mess. FPL, UCL and other games update the points live very clearly.
Does anyone know of any Twitter pages that can give me notifications of goals and assists? Similar to FPLStatus
Fantasy Football Scout
Should I substitute Khazri for Trippier (1pt)?
Worth doing the money glitch to get KDB instead of Modric? Feel like I will be punished lol
Currently have Messi as my MD1 captain - switch to Neymar or KDB, or leave on Messi?
Do you know how to run "Wildcard" on MD2? I will only be able to run it after MD1 is finished?
I am only 3 or 4 players away from my ideal wildcard team, feels a bit pointless to wildcard for the sake of Maehle, Costa, Olsen and Kudus -> Sandro, Gonda, Kamada and Paqueta. Would you do it or save it for MD3
The consensus before the tournament started seemed to be that MD3 was best time for it so that you can always get ahead of squad rotation before every match. But with so many 'big' teams underperforming, it's less likely they'll rotate in MD3. tl;dr I don't know

Who else is nailed in Japan’s attack except for Kamada? Are Kubo and Ito?
Unchanged lineup against USA according to Matt Law. Pickford Trippier Stones Maguire Shaw Rice Bellingham Saka Mount Sterling Kane
How's this looking - Noppert (Rochet) Shaw Castagne Maele (Sosa) (Milenkovic) Bergwijn Di Maria De Bruyne Almalki (Bruno Fernandes) Kane Messi Giroud Captaincy dilemma: Kane (C) with VC KDB/Bruno, or Bergwijn (C) and VC Kane?
Noppert is currently 2 points, should I swap to Rochet?
switch armband from Mbappe to KDB? with 7pts for a goal I'm very tempted
Hope you went for it
Nah.
I don’t get this transfer thing? I can transfer Hincapie out now for someone else?
Nah, he's locked. Why would you want to though?
This guy clearly hasn't read the rules. Locked players can be transferred
Yeah, but it only becomes active for the next matchday. Maybe don't be a twat and read the rules yourself
"A Manual Substitution is only when you sub out a locked player from your lineup for an unlocked player from your bench.

Did you mix up the definitions of substitution and transfer or is english not your first language? Bet I don't get a reply to this one, twat
Assuming he means subs obviously, why would someone make transfers mid gameweek.
It's gunna be a pretty common strategy if a player isn't playing. You said transfers, which is completely different to substitutions
[удалено]
if they haven’t played yet, u can change unlimited. but you can only change a captain that’s already played once
Ecuador GK who I have didn't play. Can I transfer him out bring in other gk and still do wildcard on MD2?

So I haven't full read the rules....i Have Kane captain right now; can i change it (c) to Bergwijn and if fails, for Messi tomorrow?
No i don't believe so. You can change it once, so if you change it to Bergeijn, you'll have to stick with him.
Quick answers please! Should I go Messi captain or go for differential Lautaro?
Differential Lozano.
change the captain from Kane to Messi or keep it?
Is Cash expected to start or can I do a quick swap for Kristensen??
How does substitutions work? Is it like Champions League Fantasy or FPL?
CL
Can I sub in an already subbed off player who didn’t play? I made a mistake of starting the Match Day with Rochet and Dalot who play Thursday and subbed them for players playing earlier. I’m now getting an error message when trying to confirm Rochet in, Martinez out.
Torres to neymar or perisic to de bruyne? For this week. Leaning towards the second as mids get 7 points now for a goal
KDB
Lovro Majer + De bruyne Vs Musiala + Shaquiri
Why don’t manual subs work?
GER - JAP POR - GAN URU - KOR CRO -MOR Probable clean sheets ?
Do we have to do transfers before the next md starts because that will make me go over the limit of 3?
You have to make at least 1 transfer in MD1 if you don't want to waste it. Personally I am thinking of making 2 because I don't trust the developers that the transfer rollover will work as planned.
Have you done this yet? I don't trust them either, but there's a couple of reports of people being docked 3 points per locked-locked transfer without any warning Edit: nvm. Match day 2 started early. Carried over fine
Is Kane ok for the next round?
News that he will be good to start against the USA
What player to target for md 2 if using the wild card??
I got only 1pt from every defender and midfielder.. shoud I use the chip or trust? Raum-Cancelo-Trent-Davies Kamada-DI maria-De paul-valverde-musiala Mbappe-Suarez-Morata
Does wildcard last for one match day ? And then reverts again?
No. It is basically your new team
Taremi and Sosa or Sarr and 4m (plz give reccommendations)
I'm on Sarr and Sabaly on WC
Would it be worth it transferring 2 Japanese defenders for this match day only? Rest of my team is banging but my 2 defenders are facing Spain and France, wondering if swapping them is a waste
Used my wildcard but not sure who to replace Neymar with I'd say the best options are Depay Giroud Gakpo Dembele Lautaro Vini But really not 100% sure who's the best out of the lot
Richarlison an option?
Yeah another solid option

How about Sarr vs QAT instead of Vini/Rich? I'd totally go Alex Sandro over Marquinhos as well. You can think about Sabaly vs QAT instead of Sosa/Cash
Is there any certainty on Edouard Mendy actually getting benched by Senegal?

Kane is fit according to Ornstein. Why would you transfer out Trippier? I'd look at Richarlison/Sarr for Neymar replacements
Appreciate the help, heard trippier might have lost his starting spot. Hence why I was a bit worried but guess I’ll use the transfer on neymar for ricarlson he looked good on finishing the opportunities he was given he capitalized. One last question Messi or Kane for captain MD2?
Don't think Trippier would lose his spot. Reports from Athletic are England will name an unchanged side. You can keep Kane as your first captain and change to Messi if he scores low.
Copy that, I appreciate all the help
So apparently we have 3 free transfers for MD2
Wildcard MD 2 Team Noppert Dumfries - Trippier - Hernandez - Sabaly - Sosa Perisic - Saka Kane(C) - Mbappe - Messi (Subs) Gonda - Kamada - Milinkovic - Paqueta Thoughts? they should all start the only question mark is on Kane but it seems like he will be fine but I don't see any weaknesses in this team.
Transfer out Neymar for Bale? Is this the play since there's already reports of neymar injuries coming through
Why not just get richarlison or vini
I think Wales will have chances against Iran. Plus he's the penalty taker if there is one while Vini isn't
Yeah I don't think Bale is a bad option at all. They could also get the second place maybe.
Who will start on rw and lw for england against usa
Same as the last game
sell neymar now hes injured?
https://imgur.com/a/ag5pSbU Thoughts on my WC team? Have 2.5m in the bank so can probably improve somewhere.
No need for both sabaly and sosa, upgrade one of them
to who?
Literally any other defender he likes since he has 6.5/6m ITB after selling one of them.
Thanks, not sure who. Maybe a Belgian defender - premium defenders have been quite poor tbf.
Yeah Belgian or Brazilian are the likely choices it's better than having money sitting ITB. Or you could just wait for the matchday and keep the funds for any last minute changes.
Anyone else fancy Bruno considering the lack of premium options for mids?
bit expensive, 2 assists are worse than 1 goal for a mid in this one
Yeah just don't know where to spread the money tbh. Don't want De Bruyne. Already have 3 good attackers and defenders are set as well. Just feel like punting on him idk
