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?
...

lmao I wish most of my lineup players who haven't played yet dont make into the pitch so these cool benched ones subbed in.

[Rruchi man]

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

Too early, man! He is a good player, no doubt. He had better influence in the game on most people than Jackson in the few minutes he came on, but he was desperate to impress, so what to look out for is if he will be able to keep up the performance.

As for Palmer, he indeed looked less like himself; he could not maintain possession and was off target and wrongly placed all game. I trusted him for this competition; I should have gone with Pedro Neto.

[un_rank]

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.

There are still many matches. to be played. I usually start the EPL pools among the top 10 and drop out later in the season, I am hoping I can reverse that trend here.

Only thing is the matches start to thin out as the competition advances and teams gets eliminated. The group stages gives more points than any other round of the competition.

I took a good decision not to play Fantasy sorry guys, you know I try to join everything but it definitely from what I'm seeing requires active participation within the matchday and even between games. Something for sure I cannot do as I have sort of a fixed period of internet access. Good luck to you Fantasy crazy people, I still don't get it with all the lingo lol

May I say also that Superbru's current leader is our very own @jeremypwr along with mafia @cryptofrka? The evil is realllllll

[darxiaomi]

Ahhh yesterday when i went to sleep i still being the leader in the superbru but today when i wake up i see i was overconfident on the Flamengo team, and so much people grab the exact score and two people surprass me in the leaderboard.

No matter keep pushing and the goal is to reach paid positions in the last journeys of this tournament.

[buwaytress]

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.

Damn I had Arrascaeta on my team but captaincy is with Haaland, should have thought to put C on a playing player first. Another example why I'm not a good fantasy player, somehow didn't occur for me to do that oh wait, I remember now, because we can only change it once haha. I got a nice points haul from another Flamengo player too, also see now there's a scout bonus (2) if your player is not picked much.

Didn't stay up for Flamengo, didn't even last 2nd half of Boca game. Too early for Delap, but he had a good game!

I had De Arrasceata captaincy but decided to twist for more I know i will regret it but this is short format and I feel risks are much more warranted here than in FPL. Couldn't miss opportunity to not captain new wonder kid from River. And if he fails there is Haaland and then Juve defense.

I'm not trying to exergerate things here but that 25mins performance is Baloon D'or eligible if we're serious about trying football. I've seen enough.. he's HIM!!

This format is for the fitest- we have to keep up with daily fixtures and do your risks assessment. I've always loved this format.

I've decided to stick, I like the kid and hope he scores but I'm not expecting him to beat Arrasceata's score and I don't trust Halaand so I'm done risking it for this round. Talking from past experience

So far European teams looks terrible. Not sure they're not interested or tired after season. Porto, Benfica, Borussia without wins. Chelsea won, but they weren't impressive too. While Borussia today was something awful.

Yeah, in general I'm not good fantasy player. And now when big part of games is played on night time. And sorry no, I'm not going to sacrifice my sleep to watch Mamelodi Sundowns vs Ulsan.

A bit of both maybe, it’s a really intense, long season. Usually they’d be on holiday now with family, relaxing and recharging for the new season.

Actually it will be interesting to see how the teams competing in this CWC start the 2025/26 season. They may be slow starters due to returning for pre season training later than their competitors.

For sure they lack motivation and plus they are super tired, i dont know if the physical trainer takes this competition into his scheudle of work, or work load to serious, lets see how this affect the legs of the players, if we start to see a lot of injuries is because this competition is beyond players capabilities for a season.

How the crack is Cryptofrka Peaky Blinder Mafia already in first place in superbru with 14 points? 
I know we just started but I can feel he is doing something to influence results in Club World Cup, and Snake is not far behind him.

Flamengo was my main pick before tournament started and I made a bet on Sportsbet they will qualify to quarter finals.
They started nice with a win in first match, but Chelsea is not going to be that easy.

They're fast but a serious assholes in front of goal - the attackers have pace of Timo and shooting abilities of Morata. T. Silva is old at the old so yeah we're going to pace him out.

Trofo - the kid is promising but I re- watched few clips on YouTube today and decided to go against it. Real Madrid PR got me into this  now your captaincy hunt continues...

Predicting results when European teams go up against Brazilian, Mexican, or Argentine sides has always been tricky for me. Because of that uncertainty I decided to skip betting on Benfica, Borussia, and Porto this time around. However, today Real Madrid is facing Al Hillal,one of Arab teams, and in my opinion, Real is heavily favored to win, thus, I’ve placed the relevant bet . However, it seems that Real will enter the match without Kylian Mbappe. Let's see what happens this time.

Well, not anymore. Should have went against Urawa - but it was actually an even game and my 1-1 wasn't far off.

I don't really care about Superbru - I'm pissed because of Fantasy.
My Inter placeholders have 3 points, whereas my real Chelsea picks that I wasn't able to choose because of the shorter deadline brought 16.

Destiny can still make it even if Haaland disappoints - he was supposed to be my 12th man. Now that I don't have him, he'll score 5 goals though.

[slaman29]

I read all the fantasy posts and I still am not regretting joining

I can't really say much for watching but from highlights I think Japanese team worked very well even tho they lost, but it looks like the good teams are from South America, again only judging from highlights look at Monterrey vs Inter, shameful With exception of PSG who proved they are the best in Europe.

The last matches are the only ones I can try to watch but still difficult because I'm at office. Just bad timing for everything.

I did something a bit naughty. I gave captain band to Dumfries, and I knew he will not play. Now my vice captain is Olise If I could only be certain how this bloody game works. Anyway have a bit more than hour to decide if I want to play fair and put it on Haaland or leave it like this and hope it triggers vice captaincy.

Edit: This is in the rules

the Vice-Captain will score double points ONLY if you have not done any changes to your team during a live matchday

So I will not gamble and will put the C on Haaland but I am almost certain they screwed something up and that I could game them like this.

Any of you having Mbappe in your team?

The rules sold you out? You've already modified/altered your captaincy to like 3 players now so it isn't going to work. You will end up getting zero or the auto sub for Dumfries would get the captaincy.

Both Halaand and Gvardiol on the bench. Lol Pep I hate you. No Mbappe

[Hhampuz]

I have Haaland, Gvardiol AND Rodri, all on the bench 

Mbappe as captain, jesus..

Halaand could come in second half and pull off Musiala performance but Gvardiol cleansheet point is down the drain- City are probably going to hold the ball/possession so there would be nothing left for Rodri to tackle/recovery/intercept for points. DM position is generally bad for fantasy.
