  • Prussian Blue shirt and Deep Red shorts. No Stripes!!!
 
Im in, though its not showing up under my leagues even though I applied. Maybe it has to be approved? If I click the link that takes me right to the macrmors league i am there.

Strange.

Now to buy my last 10 players with 11 bucks.

Come in! Still not too late, I joined only three hours ago..


..and there is more than a fair chance to win this thing! Only folks from the US and Brits except me....

...and we all know how much they know about football. ;)
 
twietee - I may as well ask the expert :),

Removing the captain armband doesn't mean we have to sub the player, and we can move the band multiple times - subject to the recipient not having played in the current round?

Cheers,

Haven't read the rules by now. :)
 
Nice, both the Brazilians I picked scored.

Since we can't seem to see each others lineups on the FIFA site, I'll post my lineup for the first round here:

GK: Lloris
DEF: Alba, Zabaleta, Garay
MID: Oscar, Cabaye, Gago, De Bruyne
FOR: Benzema, Neymar, C. Ronaldo

Came here to do the same.

Fifa-game is terribly designed and very annoying..jeez, if Jaffa hadn't confirmed it yesterday I wouldn't even know whether I actually joined our league or not. :rolleyes:
Reading some FFScout comments you gotta beware using the mobile site, too. Rules too confusing and flawed as well. Anyway, enough of this ranting business:


GK: Cilessen
DEF: Alba, Mertesacker, Rojo
MID: Özil, Pogba, DiMaria, De Bruyne (Valbuena)
FOR: Messi, Neymar (C), Cavani (Lukaku)

Hate how I put Oscar out of my squad to bring in out-of-form Özil, but feels nice to have a German mid/striker while rooting for them. The good side of this game being only so-so: you can't take it too serious and don't let it distract you too much from enjoying watching the actual games. Something that bugs me at times.

don't tell me:
i'm playing in a small fantasy world cup betting game hosted by a software supplier for our company: 1st price being a futsal table

i'm feeling quite the pressure from co-workers ;)

sadly Oscar already ruined my day by scoring that additional goal (i bet 2:1 for brazil)

All the best then!

I stopped playing betting games. Those who have no clue usually do better and it always makes you look like a fool. :D But my co-workers do play one and the girl who never watches a single game leads with her 3:1 bet. 3:1 at an opening match! :eek: I would have bet along the line of a 1:0, 2:1 at best...

Oscar really was MotM for me, really dig him. Not much Chelsea love on this board, understandable, but him and Hazard: <3
 
Agree this sites pretty bad. At least we have a game though... Here's my squad:

Don't say you haven't been warned about using that mobile version! :D

It is buggy. Every time I touch the screen, a player drops from my lineup. What other problems are people seeing? It hasn't updated my scores yet and it won't show my Leagues. Won't get to a desktop version until later.

I haven't used it myself but read tons of comments of how it messes up your team, benching players automatically because of you wanting to scroll down and since there is no confirm button you're getting screwed, etc pp.

Yup. That's happened to me quite a few times. So far I've caught it each time. We need to get the Hamburglar and the Fry Guys on it.
