Fantasy World Cup

[Stevisiov]

I think its a bit unfair too, not that I am challenging for the lead anyway mind.

The league owner may remove him if he wishes so, I'll tell him this is a GTP users' only league. No problem.

BTW, two assists for me so far in Brazil vs Chile.

 

[Stevisiov]

I'm currently sitting on - points for a kaka yellow card.

On the plus side, I've currently got a Maicon cleansheet, a Maicon and kaka assist, and a Luis Fabiano goal. Things are looking good for me.

 

[Aldo]

I seem to have an uncany ability to trade out goalscorers for te next match.... I traded Muller out then he got 2 goals. I traded Higuain and he got one goal.....
Darn!

 

[Omnis]

since when could we have more than 2 players per country?

 

[Aldo]

Since the knockout rounds started.
I think it is only 3 players per country just now.

 

[Touring Mars]

Yep, and you can have 4 per country in the Semi Finals and Final

 

[Touring Mars]

It now appears that our new addition is now ranked and is also now leading - I respectfully request (with no offense to the new guy) that he is removed from the league.

Hear, hear! 👍

 

[livemusic]

I've talked to him already and he's ok with it.

 

[Smallhorses]

Well, after today's fixtures I've been usurped by 2 fellow staff members at the top of the Fantasy League, however, Touring Mars has done 1 more substitution than me already, has 3 Brazilians to get rid of and has only 6 transfers remaining & Famine has done 2 more substitutions than me already, has 3 Brazilians to get rid of and has only 5 transfers remaining, whereas I've got 7 transfers to use and only have 1 Brazilian to get rid of, so I'm not panicking yet.
If Argentina & Spain both lose their QF games I'm screwed though!

I'm now winning all three leagues I'm in 👍 This is by far the tightest though, and I'm also counting on Spain winning... if they go out, my strategy is up poo river. I have a feeling that Germany might just beat Argentina today, and I'm watching it as part of a friend's stag this afternoon, so it could get Messi! Anyway, assuming Spain win, I have enough changes to cover Brazil and Argentina/Germany going out...

 

[Aldo]

^ Your feeling was correct
If I transfer people out, Maicon/Kaka/Robinho for instance, do I lose the points they have earned me?

 

[Touring Mars]

Nope, once a player has scored points for you, you can transfer them out and keep the points. But... (although I haven't tested this), I'm not 100% sure that you score points if you transferred a player out immediately after or during a game. The points get added sometime between midnight and 3 am-ish (UK time) and once they're on the board, you can't lose them - but as a precaution, I'm holding on to players until the day after they've played, just to be sure...

 

[Famine]

Same here

I'm all set for the semis, final and 3rd place playoff and I still have a transfer left (in case of injury).

 

[Aldo]

Thanks.
Surprisingly I am in 4th or 5th in the league...
I just put David Villa in my team, that should bump me up

 

[Touring Mars]

I believe congratulations are in order for F Amine, who appears to have won the World Cup league The scores have already changed once this morning since the update, but I reckon it is safe to assume that Famine has taken the trophy! I'm pleased with a podium finish, but gutted that practically my entire team got booked or sent off last night and that, like the real Scotland, I've snatched defeat from the jaws of victory Anyway, I think Famine's master stroke was having faith in the official player of the tournament, and a worthy winner of that accolade IMO, Diego Forlan. Thanks for a great competition everyone! 👍

 

[Famine]

And I wasn't even in the top 10,000...

 

[livemusic]

Well, I'm happy to be in the top 10.

 

[Smallhorses]

A pretty good showing from all of the crew!
Here's the top 10 planeteers:

Famine 423

Aldo001 394
raz_10 380
Smallhorses 362

Congrats to the folks that took the top 4 spots!
Guess we've only got about a month to wait until Premier League Fantasy Footy starts!
Who's organising that one this year? 💡

 

[Aldo]

Thank you!
Bronze medal isn't so bad!
And only 5 points behind second!
The fantasy league virgin did better than he thought!
Roll on the EPL fantasy league...

 

[Stevisiov]

7th place, not a bad finish for me I guess.
