Competitions 2022 FIFA WORLD CUP RDT

[tso]

T Hernandez 1-0

Big miss for me

 

[Herbie66]

Not sure what to do.

Can't find a French defender that looks appealing.

If I bring in Giroud & Rabiot (to add to Mbappe) seems kinda silly to bring in Moroccan defenders

Have Ziyech already , need a mid 🍩 to get Modric's score

oops can only play 3-4-3 as it is so will only use 5 trades this round (will just bench a random French defender as the 6th trade)

haha the first goalscorer turned out very appealing

16 , 18 , DNP , 4 , 0 and now a 24 , oh well

99 Messi

119 Messi

Kind of dropped off paying attention once England went out so I literally just picked one from each team for DEF and MID and hoped for the best. Could've been a lot worse!

44. Fair to say my gamble on going different and picking underdogs failed. Expected it, but I was no chance of winning by picking the same as everyone else, so why not give it a go.

Game open, my rank shot up to 110.

@jaca leads by 4 with a round to play!

I’m a bit stuffed tbh, tried to be cute with my keeper choice and I’m also stuck with Di Maria.

I hadn’t realised that 3rd place playoff is involved still!

3rd and 4th playoff included 🤬

 

[Dazza]

107 pts

25 overall, stayed the same position

 

[Dazza]

Trading in

Tchouameni, Hernandez, Perisic, Livakovic, Saiss

343 Formation

Alisson / Livakovic
Otamendi, Hernandez, Hakimi / Saiss Juranovic
Tchouameni, Modric (vc), Fernandez, Perisic / Ziyech
Messi (c) Mbappe Griezmann

Will get Rabiot back in if he starts
Will trade in Martinez if Croatia don’t get a clean sheet

Yea, adds yet another spanner! I’d be surprised to take it, but I guess a 4 pt lead is a 4 pt lead. It’s only 250 bucks anyhow, would donate it towards the site if it happens.

Saiss was subbed out of both of Morocco's last two matches FYI. 57th minute v Portugal, 21st minute v France.

Wasn’t going to start him, but I will get another token Moroccan defender in

Worry with the 3rd place playoff is that it is a bit of a non event. So, it’s often a time when non players from the rest of the WC get a run.

 

[Herbie66]

Need to wait for starting XI's for the 3rd & 4th playoff

So far :-

Croatia 3 players
Morocco 2 players
Argentina 3 players
France 4 players

+ a Brazilian , Canadian & Swiss

May as well loop a GK in the first game

Surely Modric gets significant minutes, most likely his swan song in regards to WCs

 

[Diabolical]

7/65 (Messi)

Oh that’s right, the round is over!

Dropped 88 spots to 125

Can’t believe I’ll be setting an alarm for a 3rd place play off 🤦🏻‍♂️
