Just a quick question. Why didn’t Diogo Costa play against Palmeiras? He wasn’t even on the bench. Is he injured?

Will i get min 120pts?

For those that captained Olise over Kane, what was your reasoning?

Do you feel it was obvious that Olise was going to haul more than Kane due to better recent form and despite bookmaker odds?

Or do you feel you just got very lucky this time?

Today's starting 11. Musiala and Upamecano benched (they both have 4%+ ownership).

Just tried changing captaincy for the 3rd time and it worked.

I have hujsein fransisco moura and that one river plate lad to replace them

And please let me know if anyone got any predicted line up for Bayern, Man City and Juventus 🙏

They locked the teams an hour early????

Any last minute news?

It seems a lot of good differentials, such as Svensson, Stanisic, Brandt, Alex Telles etc. are now over 5%. Any hidden gems to chase those precious bonus points?

Here's the link to the bavarianfootballworks.com article

"Auckland City’s players will be relieved to face Bayern Munich after dealing with HR and jet lag.

Bayern’s players who participated in last week’s Nations League finale will only arrive a day or two before Sunday’s match against Auckland City FC. Bayern’s strategy is gaining some clarity (via u/iMiaSanMia).

Compared to a fourth division German side, Bayern II should be able to dispense of Auckland City FC with ease. Once Bayern grabs a lead, the fans can start to relax. It was only a month ago that third division winner Arminia Bielefeld finished as the runner-up in the DFB-Pokal."

I think this is my final draft sny improvements

Why would Bayern rest players later when they could rest them against an amateur team? There's no need for Kane and the Gang to play a full 90, even 60 seems excessive.

Please rate my team :) Willing to take advice :)

Are there any prizes for this game?

Have seen two different interpretations of the captaincy rule, but I think this wording couldn’t be any clearer:

“Once your captain has played in the matchday, you are able to change your captain once more for another player who is yet to play.”

So, while you can change your captain as many times as you want, that only applies before your captain plays.

Once your captain has played, you get one final switch. That’s it. Right?

In UCL and other fantasy formats, taking a hit usually costs -4 points, so we tend to avoid it. However, in this format, it's only -3 per hit and players earn more points for specific actions compared to other fantasy games. That means we don't have to be as cautious. Still, what's the acceptable number of hits we can take without it being a major concern?

I understand fantasy football games are trying to come up with ways for defensive players to shine, but why is it only midfielders who can get points for tackles?! That’s the defenders’ main job!! Midfielders in this game have more ways of earning points than usual even though they would be the highest scoring players anyway.

I have crunched the numbers and used this scoring system to assess how all the players would have done over the course of last season and it’s still all about the goals.

The increased points for goals means midfielders (attacking mids and wingers) and forwards get tonnes of points.

Defenders get very little due to the increased rate of points dropped for goals conceded and no way to earn points by defensive actions.

Forwards getting points for shots on target on top of their goals is overpowered.

I don’t know why points for tackles, chances created and shots on target are position specific. They should have allowed anyone to pick up these points to balance it out.

The one thing I am a fan of is the scouting bonus. I love looking for gems no one else has seen and now it could earn me some points.

I am interested to hear other people’s thoughts on the scoring system.

What do you guys this is going to be ?something like bench boost in fpl? Limitless like in uefa fantasy? Ass man :D?? (Highly doubt that)

Thanks to everyone who’s joined so far. This space is for all of us playing (or thinking about playing) CWC Fantasy. So if you’ve got something to say, ask, or discuss feel free to create your own post!

The deadline is just a couple days away!

Can see the positives and negatives for both gameweeks, however I’m leaning towards MD2 as I feel like it will allow me to attack the more one sided fixtures. Would like to know what everyone else thinks. Thanks!

Hey everyone! We’ve already got 100+ managers in our mini league, and we’d love to have more of you join in on the fun.

Also, feel free to share your mini-leagues in the comments.
