Yeah ignore that. Getting it mixed up with if the player on the bench has played
I didn't ignore it. I've already judged you for it

It'll set the wildcard for week 3 yes.
But surely means you'll only get the players you have locked for week 2?
Took 20mins pre 10am working on a wildcard, and gone with the below now.
NOPPERT
DUMFRIES TRIPPIER SABALY
GANA GUEYE FERNANDES SAKA KAMADA
RICHARLISON MBAPPE (C) MESSI
GONDA (Japan keeper), SOSA, ASENSIO, ALBA.
4 good bench options for any of the starting 11 who blank.
2 Senegal players in there v Qatar.
Kamada v Costa Rica.
Almost went without all of my original 3 Argie forwards, but in the end stuck with Messi.
And resisted Sarr v Qatar as so much striker choice.
Kane v Messi was tight, and could go either way. At the moment though, Messi is 6 points from his team's 1 goal, and Kane 7 from his team's 6 goals!

This guy seems to be suggesting otherwise?
Click on the image, the top part of the text isn't visible on the preview.
Have to take your chance in this game.
Interesting he's going away from Mbappe. Could be brave.
Doh, can't even keep a cleany from Senegal v Qatar 
Least can sub them out for bench players.

I gambled on triple Senegal defence because why not.
Oh well.
So if we have activated the wild card we can still make transfers in preparation of the next game week? It seems you can transfer out players that have already played, e.g it's letting me transfer Noppert.
No-one seems to know.
Some people are talking about how you can transfer 1 locked player out. But not sure what that refers to. As surely you have a minimum of 2 transfers either way?
Last min choice, Trippier or Maguire? If anyone's on?
That's a good point, we need someone to do it before we burn our transfers
I'm risking it all on a biscuit for Maguire.
And Shaw in for Alba who plays Germany.
Saka, Shaw, Maguire, let's go.
Took Neymar, Darwin Nunez and Ronaldo out for Messi, Mbappe and Mazda,
Put Maeda in because Japan playing Costa Rica and hardly anyone will have him, and will hopefully get goal or 2.

Mbappe supplies us all a captain goal.
Was even better for me as I have Theo too.
Brave one, came off on 57mins in the first game, and not in fotmobs expected line up? Not sure how red hot they are. Have Kamada myself.
That is the ultimate, two players combining.
I was really hoping for a Shaw to Maguire combo yesterday.
Need a second from Mbappe really. Seen a few in my league left captaincy on Kane and haven't changed it. Hopefully they're missing a trick rather than planning on going Messi later.
And there goes the clean sheet
And there goes the clean sheet
Started on Pavard, switching to your man, but went double England in the end.
Mbappe strikes again
Mbappe strikes again
Always wait until kick off to celebrate...and there we are, 2 goal captain
In 10th in my league currently, and only 3/9 have him at all, and only one as captain
Hopefully the ones who are sat on an England fail captain aren't sat there waiting to put Messi captain either.

Only one who captained Mbappe in my ML too
Although literally everyone else will be Messi C or Kane ==> Messi C.

Goal and an assist for Messi.
One guy in my league has both him and Mbappe, but missed a trick in not moving the captaincy off Kane

Got to love those assists where there is a standard side pass and the receiving player smashes it into the top corner

Brutal
I reckon a few people in mine aren't aware about the ability to change it once!
On WC. I've got Milink (GK - Cameroon), KDB (Morocco), Perisic (CAN), and Richarlison left.
Probably will stick with the first 3, but worth going for the likes of Bruno, Kamada, Allison, Courtois?

I'm 4k OR and have 3 players today and 3 tomorrow still to come.
Not been a bad start.

2 Japanese players an absolute bust then. Can't believe they conceded!
Now De Bruyne too, problem is there isn't really any midfielder performing this WC (in fantasy terms).
Sosa loses cleany 2mins in.
Got Asensio later. See how that goes.

3 players got me 40… rest got me 10. Sigh….
Game is really punitive against defenders conceding goals.
Anyone tried the WC "hack" yet?
Which one?
If you mean the wildcard one yes I've made all my transfers for gw3 and didn't cost any points.

Excellent. Any tips?
I've put the players in caps who need to definitely go.
GONA Noppert
SOSA Shaw Maguire SABALY Dumfries
KAMADA ASENSIO Saka Bruno F GANA GUEYE
Messi Richarlison Mbappe
Germany play Costa Rica, so looks a good idea to get a couple of their boys in.
Plus a bit more Brazil action as they're going a long way.
Gakpo in v Qatar?
I've targeted the fixtures as it seems the way to go for the wc.
So I've got players in from England, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and Brazil who also have a decent fixture.
France do too but they might rest players as they've already qualified.
Already had double defence v Qatar, and don't really like the forward options, as Messi/Mbappe/Richarlison takes some beating for later in the competition.
Musiala in v Costa Rica,Kudus who smashes points this week, and then Alba, Gavi and Casemiro come in too.
Need to cover the teams who'll go far.
Left Sosa in for Croatia as a 3.5m starter, If I'd had 1m spare rather than 0.5m I might have switched to Saiss. But it's still in Croatia's hands to go through anyway.
Pretty sure we get unlimited transfers after the group games? So I wouldn't worry to much about post group stage planning.
