Question now is, to stick or twist the capitancy? Not really happy with the score but also not that confidant any other player of mine can do better. Mbappe is 12th man so can't captain him and others aren't that certain of points.

Ah well, better to have this problems than not 

I checked the top positions and not a single soul captained Vini- he was mostly a 12th man. That should tell you all you need to know, he's a great differential captain and twisting to Mbappe won't yield any good since he would be the most captain player in this round anyway.

________

Another Kimmich cleansheet wiped  who would have thought ehn ?  The only remedy is to provide an assist or score like he did in the first game. He's gone after this round.

Made a bad decision and it cost me points. Round 1, I had Gakpo in attack and Dumfries in defence both from Netherland. Gakpo gave me 2 points and Dumfries gave a point. I made use of the 2 free transfers, silly me went to change these two exact  players. I watched how Netherland thrashed Sweden, the two players I removed were all in fire. Dumfries with two assists as a defender, Gakpo with a brace and an assist to his name. I sat down imagining how many points I would have gained only if I left them in my team. I'm in a state of dilemma. I don't know if I'm to return them back to my team as I had earlier picked or just leave it the way I made it for the next round.

It has been a really strange round to be honest, points are coming mostly from unexpected source, I had Ordonez from Ecuador who have surely been a good way for me to get back in the round gradually after they had cleansheet wipe off in the 90th minute of game 1, only for him not to play tonight and Ecuador were held to a goalless draw by Curacao, that would have been 9 points, also while I was cautious to not get burned by Wirtz so I didn't take him for the round and took a -3 points to go another route in bringing Vini Jr in, the Vini move was never in doubt, but If I had Wirtz would be a no show for the second time, I pretty much would have considered a better alternative.

I saw Valencia hit the target more than 5 times last night with no results, and I was like "wow"; I hadn't seen somebody this unlucky in a long time - I almost got him but couldn't, and he was my biggest threat this round because I didn't have him. Finally, everything turn out fine.

The Curacao goalkeeper was out of this world last night; I haven't seen anything like it in a long time, and it is without a doubt one of the best individual performances by a goalkeeper in my books.

Strange because he looked shellshocked in the NL game. Some goals barely any reaction. I didn't see the Ecuador masterpiece, so can't compare the two.

P.S. 1 month made out of fewer than 10 stages? Where you can make subs and change captaincy after every match? Also not a marathon this weird Fantasy but a Tour de France of multiple stages where you need to win as many as possible while pacing yourself to sprint.

But padi you sabiball that captaincy was completely against any typical rationale I could have come up with and it worked wawuuu

At first, I didn't even bother to check. After I saw that it was 0:0, I was sure that Ordonez played like 90 minutes and managed to bang an 8 or 9 pointer on him. Only now did I check, and it's a dotted line in his place. I'm super angry that even when things are shit and I manage to lose a ticket on Ecuador, luck can still fuck you around a little bit.

[cryptofrka]

Huh, Oyarzabal with the big points. Switching to Mbappe will be difficult now, and Mbappe can literally score 5 goals tomorrow.

It would be best if Oyarzabal scored 2 more goals - let's hope for that one

EDIT: I could have been quiet there. Did not see this coming.

[igebotz]

Bro nothing special, he was the perfect differential option out there I could find when I set up the team + I suspect most of the managers here would go for the premium strikers. I knew he was going to be on the score sheet but he over did my expections.

Oyarzabal almost ruined the week for me but thank my stars I didn't give up on him, my only regret is Laporte getting an assist and cleansheet points after FIFA rigged him out of my team in MD1 deadline 

I'm working on my WC drafts for MD3

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Come on man this can be real, i have Meunier as a defender and i think i had collected a decent clean sheet, when i went to check i saw he played 58 minutes, so since he didnt reach the 60 milestone he didnt receive the extra points for clean sheet, what a failure.

Well know it comes the part of the round where i ahve to be saved by my best players in the team.

Aside of all of this, what a shit is the bonus of the max captain or whatever is called, i thinked it was diferent.

Yeah, glad I stuck by Oyar too, if only to keep up with the bot. Shame they subbed him so quickly, he would have had a hattrick the way things were going. You should retire from fantasy after this, or at least ensure you forget 10% of the rounds. Then again, someone needs to punish Cro2 and icopress consistently. CLS63 won't repeat any success next season.

I'm still blanked for MD3. Are we getting a new WC after MD3? Or do we only have 1?

[Harkorede]

Another terrible round is in the books for me, my German shepherds were all barks no bite, and I couldn’t get any defensive point in this round either, Igebotz is killing it in this round, and Hhampuz isn’t far off, a lot of outliers paid off well for me, especially Haaland, who everyone else was quick to dismiss.

[paco92x]

Only 1 WC for the tournament, but you will have open transfers in MD4, so it's like you will have 2 at your disposal.

So far, a superb round for me—already on 120 points and 2 players to play still. This will definitely be my best edition; I hope that I can replicate it in some other round. Manzambi made everything for me so much easier. Still don't know why the youngster didn't start the second game, as he was a menace for Bosnia.

[cryptofrka]

I had 2 50-50 calls so far.

1) Embolo or David for the first 2 games. Picked Embolo, see how it ended
2) Make 2 transfers in MD2 (Musiala and Haaland for Doue and Mbappe) or go -3 and make 3 transfers (Wirtz, Musiala and Haaland for Olise, Kamada and Mbappe).

Both times I made the wrong one, which cost me huge points.

Still a while to go but we're entering the part of the tournament in which the focus will mostly be on the same players. Early advantage is important - hopefully I manage to do well with the R3 wildcard.

That is for me the bad call or the gamble that could go pretty bad when we need to pick a player from a team who is gonna face a weak one and is not a clear number 9 who score always like Mbappe. For example in the Brazil - Haiti game, which player you select among Vinicius, Raphina, Cunha.... it could happen that the one who score can be any of this three...

Im still pissed off about the not cleansheet of Meunier, he played 58 minutes thanks to the red card of another player and give me only one point instead of 7. I know is not big numbers but come on still count.

[crowolf]

Those 9 points i messed up with Musiala in the first round might haunt me in the end.
But good competition in the league. Everybody is doing well with the picks and rotations.
Round 3 might be a crucial one as there will be a lot of guess work on certain player minutes.

[xLays]

Is Tunisia really that weak? Because if you look at most of our Fantasy League lineups, almost everyone is loading up on Netherlands players. Well, I'm one of them too.. I have three Netherlands players in my lineup. lol

We're in trouble if Tunisia manages to score against the Netherlands. There goes the cleansheet and we also miss out on any scout bonus from those selection players with less than 5%. glhf

I would say, I didn't expect them to be this bad, but they're extremely awful, you don't concede 9 goals while scoring just 1 in two games by coincidence, it would have been even more worth it if Netherlands were also fighting to qualify for the knockout stage, not as group leaders, and even as things currently, they're the heavy favorite to finish the group as winners so we might see some level of rotation or early subs still.

[darxiaomi]

Yes Tunisia is among the weaks and worst by far teams in this tournament worst of all for them they were in a super hard group with all good or better national teams than them.

In this last round i just put some changes and spend a little points in extra transfer the most difficult part is guessing which team are gonna put it all in the last round and which one is gonna save players for the next one.

[cryptofrka]

Damn, if I captained Vinicius I would have let him keep it. I captained Hakimi instead hoping for some attacking contributions, but also fully expecting a clean sheet.
Not just that they conceded, they conceded 2 goals, so he gets a negative point as well.

I have to switch captaincies now - and many decent players left that don't really need to play 90 or win their games.

Overall doing well - maybe it's a blessing in disguise and Kane scores 4 goals vs Panama.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Ahhh man i feel like my gamble was not so good in the end, i dont put Vinicius or any brazilian player in replacement of Raphina thinking about Scotland was gonna be much more stronger, but they were a complete disaster in the defensive side.

Aside of that i went with Saibari and at least he score a goal, but i was expecting at least 2 goals from him.
