No, they didn't, it was the maximum boast chip doing the work - shifting the captaincy to the highest pointer in the team, if anyone else scores more points than Olise, the armband will switch from Olise to the new pointer.

Aha, well that explains it! Bold to play it on the first day, haha. This should be an interesting tournament fantasy-wise!

[Rruchi man]

10 goals and not a single contribution from Kane, yuk!

Put in a lot of doubts about his selection in MD2; I will consider other options since he has failed to impress against a team as terrible as Auckland.

I was really impressed with how well PSG played against Atletico Madrid. Currently, they are the best team in the world, and it is not just because of the Champions League they just won but because of how well they control the game.

I would like to see PSG play against Bayern Munich. It will be Olise against Mendes.

[jayce]

How do you like my prediction now? I am afraid I even went too low
...

...
Jayce, in your current team, for example, you could have played Mendes instead of Carreras because PSG have already played and Benfica play later. You can still switch Diogo Costa to Bounou, since Diogo didn’t feature in the game and currently has 0 points, while Bounou is yet to play.
I want to win in a fair fight 😃

Oh thanks a lot for the information! I'm really not familiar yet with this kind of fantasy game

Yeah it's a quick in, quick out tournament, no time to strategize, just go with your guts and hope it sticks. Max boaster for MD2 for me.

Lol why Is Palmer locked for captaincy? He's Currently the VC, moved it to Maduake and it worked, switched captaincy to Palmer and I'm getting " player's locked" prompt. Wft is this fantasy man!

I heard reports Palmer isn't feeling well and won't be playing tonight

Woowo I can't find anything on Palmer's fitness - where did you get that? This last clip of him at training, he was looking like someone on Ghana crack though.

The captaincy switch works finally.

Shouldn't we be able to change it until game starts? If that is the case, who cares. We wait for line ups and then decide.

Granted if he isn't 100% and still starts could be a problem.

Alot of bugs here and there - change of captaincy is unlimited, I was surprised to hit road block. Fixed now.

Hhampuz - Palmer starts! What is your source again?

Some buddy of mine who's attending tonight, not sure what his source was though lmao

[buwaytress]

Buggy system for me but I discovered if you keep trying (I was trying to change captain but it wouldn't save) eventually it saves and confirms.

@Igebotz I got the same error at first, and kept trying it. Try switching VC to someone else first. Then Save and Confirm until it works. THEN change captain to him. Every move, Save and Confirm spam until it works. That's how it eventually worked for me.

Anyway, already dodged a bullet or two with some initial ideas I had, but at the same time missed out on a good captain. I completely forgot about that boost chip, that was the day to play it. Initially thought: what the hell how did someone think to captain Olise? Didn't even study the chips properly. No way I'm catching anyone here though. This pool is rigged.

be humble eh 

I must be such a simple guy but my first laugh of the day.

Not that I had much expectations, but so far Club World Cup looks boring. Now watching Chelsea - LA in half empty stadium and it looks more like friendly game. Well, it looks that interesting stuff will begin from playoffs only.
Boca Juniors - Benfica looks most interesting game tonight. Too bad I will have to to work early, so, this game is a bit too late for me.
So far struggling a lot in Superbru pool.

Soccer isn't the best tournament to host in the United states, not when all their other favorite sport are on, they might even be lucky that the NBA and NFL aren't in full swing too.

I think some of the matches, I watched weren't that bad, even though I'm yet to watch any for 90 minutes except Bayern vs Auckland City, I believe it should get more interesting when we start even tougher match ups.

[darxiaomi]

I repeat this, until now this tournament looks more like a pre season matches than a high end level tournament, even the stadiums and the kits of the team seems like pre season games.

Is not good until now for FIFA how this is looking right now.

I hope in the phase after the group stage this change and we see higher level football and more motivated teams.

[cryptofrka]

I was supposed to have both Colwill and Enzo for tonight's Chelsea game, I have 2 deadwoods from Inter thanks to a switched deadline. If these 2 bring points tonight, I'm gonna go berserk.

Well, couldn't have gone much worse to be honest.
Colwill's points will probably get replaced, for Enzo it will be a bit more difficult.

To add to this, I had Haaland as the 12th man as well. I already feel this will cost me a lot, this format is 7 GW's only and there's no room for error.

I'm still pretty upset myself, this first week would have been really great for me so far, especially those captain points for Muller, the only downside so far would have been Palmer whom I brought in for Mastantuono (yet to play anyways), and Trubin was supposed to be one of my goalkeepers...

Another annoying thing is how a couple of scouting points (like Stanicic) for me would be gone just by some 1%-2% extra that came in the last hour of transfer...

Akturkoglu on the bench 

[notblox1]

Boca Juniors is already smashing Benfica with two goals, and pre-match odds on them was amazing.
I was confused why bookmakers set it like so I thought maybe they know something else I dont know, or there are some missing players.
Only FmbetBru selected Boca Juniors to win in supebru 

[famososMuertos]

(has not finished yet) I had my Boca Juniors winning 2-0, but I've now dropped to 1.5 points (POOL). Let's hope this holds true. It's going to be a tough Club World Cup due to the varying results we're going to have.

Perhaps the 10-0 is the key to where we're going.

...

...
First one we have : Bayern vs Auckland City ? It should be a festival of goals right ? As long as Bayern will threat them as a competitor and not some team from Bundesliga 3 look alike because if they do this , we won't see goals again...
...

Apparently Trofo agrees with the goals festival by submitting 9-0 on Superbru. Nice one mate!

Receiving 1.5 points for 9 goals makes it pointless to choice such a deep pool of goals (match). Now, as a participant in this pool looking to earn places, well done, Super Bru*. 

^{*These are moments when Superbru reminds us of other apps, but that's another topic.}

[darbitmobilerecovery]

What a shame for Boca, they have the win in their hands and them let it go, the worst part is two argentinian players like Di Maria and Otamendi score the goals for the Benfica, anyways i think none of these two is a Boca fan, Di Maria is fan of Rosario Central and Otamendi is a fan of Velez or River i dont remember, maybe elche can bring more light to this matter.

[Strongkored]

I am proud to see my position in the standings after several matches have finished because I can be in first place but from the bottom  .

I will not give up, there are still many matches, the situation can still change to be my favour.

[igebotz]

Some buddy of mine who's attending tonight, not sure what his source was though lmao

Did you send him a laughing emoji afterwards? Things I would do 

buwaytress - I got it sorted but Palmer failed so I switched on to de Arrascaeta ( 18 points) I'm not letting go anytime soon. I don't trust Halaand for all this shit he did to me in EPL fantasy. It's hard to keep up with these late night fixtures; I lasted only 19 mins into the Flamengo vs Espe game.

Jayce - Nice 17 points on the bench? Wowow players with early fixtures shouldn't be on the bench - did you miss that part of the rules?

Is Delap our new Isak? Or is it too early?
