Hummels(C) and Kroos worked out.
Son of a!!! Nice work. I was counting on my doppelganger Muller. Moved the C to Rodriguez. I went with 4 Colombians to 2 Brazilians. We'll see how that works out. Several Argentinians waiting in the wings...
Lahm at RB, okay, take him out for Hummels or Kroos. Which one? Neither, I can use the Lahm money for two players. Doh! Multiple when you add blocks and clean sheet. Elevator basement button pressed.
Congratulations on last round twietee. Captain Hummels, knew you had the computers working overtime.

Tilpots,
Without goals, assists, clean sheets etc.:
Van Buyten has a slight advantage over Mascherano - plus a clean sheet favours VB. The points are around those earned by Rodriguez.
Messi is about 4 points back but could outscore with some goals/assists.
Higher base - but around Rodriguez - or Messi potential?
Haven't looked at the other game.
See any Hummels? Friday Frazzled Brain did for me. Edit - ha ha, no Gago or Fernandez. I'm a numpty.

I was leaning Van Buyten but ended staying Rodriguez. Points seem a lot harder to come by now. The number of goals has def decreased.
Saw Fernandez out. Gah! Maybe a late sub assist??? Boy, I really catch myself reaching for scenarios!
Edit: I got nobody in the other game but the Dutch keeper. That game was too much of a trap game for me. Costa Rica is a wild card. They may do the unthinkable today!
Meh, forgot about KdB on my bench.
At least 4 players in the last one. Here's hoping for a little Arjen Robben show...
How Robben warms up...

So you guys both went Robben? I almost went RVP. Again though, I think a lot of people are discounting Costa Rica. Guess we'll see...
Hoping for less of the diving and more of the shooting - no assists on free kicks or penalties.
Wise move sticking with Rodriguez. Really screwed up this round - probably down around 80 points - should've just matched, i.e. Hummels was likely in other teams. Still, 5 goals from Robben is possible. Have a Costa Rica defender just in case.

Captain Crud. Edit - Forgot about balls into the box. Back to Rodriguez's score subject to the data check.

Thank you extra time, defenders of Netherlands and Costa Rica, and Robben - pulled me out of a hole. No surprise, Hummels in.
Just noticed we can see each others teams; is this available during the round?
Pressure? What pressure? My Sage Of Selection - SOS - is confident:

Am I right in thinking that the 3rd place playoff doesn't count in the final stage, just the final itself?
Congratulations again to twietee and his Weeteetaly - another round, another Team of the Round award secured, this time for the quarter finals. 140 points was his tally.
Don't forget that the semi-finals begin this evening as Germany take on Brazil, so don't neglect to make those all important transfers and formation changes.
