I like how they don't even tell you how the points are earned.

They seem to be a bit sketchy on the 2 points for winning a penalty.

As clearly Messi won one. It doesn't say it had to be scored?

So I can only assume it's 1 for playing and 2 for 4 shots on target? No pen win points, but no pen miss points either oddly.
 
Question back at you guys @Sandikan @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson i can switch Messi captaincy with the following options

Musiala - playing well but hasn't actually scored yet
Vinicius - rotation risk and he also plays on the last day so can't switch the captaincy if we get early team news.
Gavi - not too convinced but Spain have a decent fixture.

Other than that I can just stick it on a defender to get a 12 pointer, options are Raum and Sandro.

Low risk for you because Messi only scored 3. So you have a bit of a freebie really.

Germany have to win, and play woeful Costa Rica. That'd probably be my first choice.
However, I have him, but won't be captaining him, as I've got the Gakpo goal.

Might just chuck it on Musiala then, as you said low risk.

If don’t want to risk Vinicius, Musiala if playing. Germany have to go for it (to an extent)

I’m thinking Musi too.

My other options are Bruno/Cancelo but not sure they start. If I go this route and they don’t start I’ll have one last ultimate trump card: Mitrovic.

Nah. No need to overthink it. Musi vs a shite Costa Rica it is.
 
Sticking with Gakpo Captain.

Hope Musiala doesn't go crazy.

Exact same.
Justified it by thinking if Musiala scores, I'm still happy.
But if I've switched it, and Musiala blanks I'll be gutted!

Have 4 players tonight, including Alba, but the way the game works, leaving him in the line-up is a no brainer he could easily come on.

Yup! Although he looks lively as heck already :wenger:

I gambled with keeping Alba on the bench though. And didn't want to take a hit either.

Unless you've got everyone playing today and had to make a choice, you might as well have started Alba and then just sub him with a bencho who hasn't played yet?

Raum assist :drool:
 
Not my week first Messi playing so well and coming away with nothing now the same with Musiala.
 
How the heck Musiala has come out of a 4 goal haul, having 15 shots, hit the post twice, and not got even an assist is utter madness.

Poor night for having 4 players. Will be about 5 points in total!!

Travesty mate.

Then through on goal 97th min, one on one...
takes ages...doesn't even get a shot off :lol:

Night started well with that Raum assist, but he's conceded 2 now so probably ends with a mere 2 pointer?

Musiala another shot 100th min.
Of course he's not a forward so doesn't get the 1 point per 2 shots...or he'd be on about 8 points for them!
 
Disappointing points night. Had loads of players over the rivals.

Still have Kudus of Ghana tomorrow.

Plus Casimero and Bruno. But those 2 could easily be rested.
Worth a -3 (-4 as they'd be replacing a one point merchant) to get someone else in if neither start? Who?

In hindsight woeful 2 transfers....sub keeper and Bruno in :wenger:
 
WC this week and have two players left (FW and MID) to put on the team plus a captain transfer

So whoever playing number 9 for Brazil (Jesus likely) as captain and Antony ?

My first time doing Fantasy and I try to finish in top 10 Redcafe ^^

Are you binning off Bruno? Not sure if I should keep or take yet another hit and sell to Kudus or even Antony.

Hope you didn't go the Kudus route. Damn Ayew bungling the pen robbed him of an assist - well, assuming the game actually picked it up!

Expecting Casemiro to be benched, so need to weigh up Antony or another starter,

Risky though, as even a 1 pointer, with the -3 means they need 4 points just for parity. Might not be worth it.
Woeful couple of days points scoring. Have gone from having massive differentials to catch the top 2, to basically getting peanut points.
 
Everyone for Brazil benched for me and rivals.
OK so leave it alone?
Or -4 gamble (-3 but but replacing a 1 pointer) on Jesus, Antony or Martinelli?

They've benched the whole first team! Ffs

I'm struggling with who to transfer too I have Sandro and Vinicius. I'm only go to transfer out one as I'm not going to take a double hit as it won't pay off. So Vinicius for Rodyrgo or Antony for me.

Jesus is also an option but he hasn't been in great goal scoring form.

Pure lotto isn't it . Left it alone in the end.
Bit of a poor decision to have Saka/Bruno/Casemiro in there even with the wildcard hack!

Never mind - 3rd in the work league, and all to play for with last 16 unlimited transfers, and power captain to come.

Guy above me had Bruno F, Cancelo and 2 Brazil defenders tonight
For a total of ZERO points!

That's harsh!

Back tomorrow for a R16 lineup then...
 
Been a BS round, don’t think any of the popular picks hauled.
