World Cup LD

I think the fantasy league is finally updated. Second to last, ahead of a DWoods, although my Korean and Russian players have yet to play.

Loveless, Finlay and Gelgarin hold the top 3 at the moment.

I think that's just the order we signed up in.

Nah, I joined with about 3 people in the group and FF4L was one of the last joiners.

54 points so far. My dad had a very good start, but he's now on 36.

Don't think there'll be any accurate league positions until the end of the first set of matches.

Be nice, my last three players are on now (72 at present).

 

[Loveless]

By the way, the 2nd stage of Fantasy football is now open if you want to move your squad around. You have to select 2nd Group Stage though to do it.

There are no transfers until the group is over (I'm regretting my squad right about now)

I've 36 points, so I'm definitely not near the top. Thankfully I've 4 or 5 players to come tonight.

Apart from Mikel, my midfield is atrocious. Jedinak and Pogba have lost points and Fabregas wasn't even on the starting line-up for Spain.

Torn on whether to replace Dante with a Cameroon defender. At least the latter played his game.

 

[Loveless]

Algeria are supposedly the best of the African teams. They don't look too bad.

Don't they have the second lowest odds apart from Iran or something?

 

[Loveless]

Don't they have the second lowest odds apart from Iran or something?

Id be surprised by that. Everything Id read has said that since they stopped France stealing all their talent, theyre much improved.

 

[Gelgarin]

I need Lukaku to pick up points here.

 

[Loveless]

Clumsy. Penalty

And converted. 1-0 to Algeria

 

[Gelgarin]

That's going to totally kill the match, isn't it?

 

[Loveless]

That's going to totally kill the match, isn't it?

That was my initial thought, too.

 

[Lee]

Is it me or are there far too many penalties?

 

[Барбоса]

That penalty was evidence of the potential problems of playing centre halves at full back.

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

My friend has Belgium slated to win the whole thing.

 

[Барбоса]

Is it me or are there far too many penalties?

Defending in general has been largely chronic so far.

 

[Gelgarin]

That penalty was evidence of the potential problems of playing centre halves at full back.

The pressing problem now is that they don't look comfortable going forward, which is leaving the Belgians visibly outnumbered since Algeria are going to keep 11 behind the ball from here on.

 

[Loveless]

My friend has Belgium slated to win the whole thing.

That's optimistic to say the least. They'll be a good bet for 2016 but this is the same Belgium that didnt even get close to qualifying in 2012.

I can understand the mentality that they have every chance to do well, but it's the same problem as Portugal: They have good players scattered about as opposed to a consistent team like Germany for example.

 

[Gelgarin]

I can't see Belgium getting back into this game as things stand. They haven't carved out a half decent chance, and I don't think they've managed a single credible ball into the box.

And just as you said that, they had a legitimate chance to score.

 

[Loveless]

They need to speed things up a bit. Giving Algeria far too much time to get into position. Lukaku has been a bit lazy too, just waiting for the ball but never making runs.
