Teams trying or cruising this round as I see it. No early games either so hard to know named teams unless you want to wake up constantly in the middle of the night to check.

Group A Germany are already through but Scotland will be busting a gut to beat Hungary and hope the Fatherland beats the Swiss convincingly. That could give them second spot.

Group B Spain are through and play Albania so the La Roja might rest players which is tricky. Italy will be serious against Croatia though and field a strong squad. They cannot afford to lose and risk missing out or playing a top team from another group as a best 3rd qualifier.

Group C Everyone will be going at it hard as anyone can qualify. England will be keen to win and finish on top because the runner up of this group plays the winner of Group A (ie Germany) and that is something to avoid for as long as possible.

Group D Poland are out and France will probably beat them anyway which means the Netherlands and Austria will be going full strength to qualify as high as possible. Having said that this group is one of the best groups in terms of the draw because the winner plays the runner up of Group F and even the runner up only gets to play the runner up in Group E.

Group E A lottery with everyone on 3 points so everyone will be fielding the best team possible. Belgium most likely to beat Ukraine.

Group F Portugal already qualified so they could rest players especially as they play Georgia. Turkey and the Czechs fielding full strength teams to winner the runner up spot but whoever makes it probably go out next round.

1/7

I am okay with playing Musiala. Not going to get every good score, and 7 is okay.

I am just glad I didn't waste my VC on him. Had that feeling, he wouldn't score this time - 3 games in a row, against good opposition; wasn't going to risk that.

Looped Rudiger, which now means I have to play a 4-4-2 as I don't want Rudiger's score in case the other defender I put on the bench scores well, unless I keep Cucerella, who is likely to be rested.

Have made 5 trades so far - 3 defenders, 1 GK, and 1 Forward. Now have to wait and see if Cucerella is playing.
