Hope Muller blanks! 😉
oscillatedwidly must be doing good. Me, not so much, bit gutted I ultimately chickened out and left Sanchez, Blind and Oscar out of my squad.
74p so far with Mertesacker, Özil and deBruyne still in the mix. Not sure if I should swap Lukaku for Cavani. Not a fan of this game tbh.

Haven't checked the Argentina points; unlikely Di Maria* has many so in will come an Iran player - quickly followed by De Bruyne/Fayzulin 🙂.
Edit * Just seen from Tilpots team he has 4 points - hello my Iranian friend.
Chose Janmaat instead of Blind 🙁, and subbed out Cillessen for the Greece keeper - knocking off one point 😱. Sanchez would've been a tougher call if Vidal was fit.
Cavani has the points. How many do you miss if Lukaku scores 2 goals? What are the chances? De Bruyne as cover? Now watch Lukaku go mad. 😀
Shocked McDonald's and FIFA aren't running a good game. 😀 Yeah, not much love on the forums. Reality better than fantasy.

Reality better than fantasy. *high five*
DiMaria 4pts only? Was five last time I checked!? Dammit! Shocking that this game looks quite tasty on the surface but once you bit....ugh...😀
Going to change Pogba to one of those Iranian/Algerian dudes. FTW! Cavani to Lukaku for entertainment value.

Btw, the only nice thing with this game mechanics (if only I had realized that before setting up the crew and book the flight!!) is that you could have almost always a player on the pitch while watching a game. But I'm not sure that was made on purpose either...
Pogba - I forgot, no assists re penalties.
Player every game:
You don't need a rest - a team you like score but your player isn't the scorer and someone else has stolen the assist?

Russia and South Korea play their first after Brazil and Mexico play their second - was worried the fantasy game wouldn't cope.
twietee; Di Maria did have 5 points in the end - still kicked him out.🙂
Didn't put the Iran defender in and the midfielder didn't play; Di Maria is laughing - it will be louder if De Bruyne doesn't recover. 😱

Hope Kevin de Bruyne recovers as well. Kicked my complete midfield (except diMaria 😀) due uselessness...put some Algerians on the pitch for a change. Let's see how that pans out.
Cheers.
Phew! The line ups being reported have him in. Yep, gone with the Algeria keeper and a defender. As you say, let's see - hands in front of eyes.

You are aware of how multiple substitutions work? And possible captaincy rotations? Because it took me quite some time myself and is the most important key to this I'd guess.
