Gonna need payment pretty sharpish... tbh... Whippin Pic
Kenbo??
Kenbo??
Can you double check that Whippin, as still not showing here.
Sorry, I forgot I had to do the new payment thing.

Payment received 24 minutes in... after you've scored a goal.. If no one complains???
see what the guys say

Let him in, as a penalty though he has to have the Qatari gk
Yeah let him in. He’s got five Ecuadoreans, he’ll be out of transfers by half way!
I already stated I'd pay before the game started.....I hope you guys don't think I'd cheat?
I believe in the Ecuadoreans so these boys are here to stay....until they meet England in the next round. 
Good luck, mate. You’re the early pace setter for the marathon.
Cheers Kenbo. Qatar should have just wrecked the clean sheets for my GK and DF
Yep, it’s men against boys.
Can I bore you all and say I had Enner Valencia in my team about three times!

If kenbo's happy, I'm happy. But this is no Marathon. It's more a 2 furlong sprint and Whippin has broke well with a perfectly thought out strategy.. The rest of us have to hope Ecuador concede and Valencia doesn't get a hat trick!
I fricking almost picked Valencia too..

They need to rest Valencia now. They don’t want to aggravate that little injury!
It may be hard getting a striker off the pitch though who has two goals in the first half of a World Cup match!
It all about strategy. So far Whippin has played it perfectly. A Qatar goal would diminish his points quite a lot.

I hadn’t realised Emit had put the worst goalkeeper in the tournament in his side!

In my defence... Didn't quite comprehend how carp Qatar are! Counting on some sort of home advantage..
Not a good start for me...

They are very poor. It was well worth having a go at. A shame the fix wasn’t on!
Those transfers are there for a reason and I fully intend to use them! 
Agreed. Well done, Whippin.
Three games tomorrow should see some points scored.

Cheers lads. Put my faith in Ecuador and they didn't let me down. Didn't like the way Valencia hobbled off....must be a serious doubt for the next game. I'd leave him out and then get him back fresh for what would be the crutch match against Senegal.
BTW...
We have 10 teams paid, so it's £100 winner takes all.. Good Luck guys.

Gonna bore you with... I took Foden out and put Saka in.. Till just seconds before kick off.. Feel like the universe is conspiring against me..

Who'd be a Fantasy Football manager, eh Emit? I was going to put Grealish in from the start but saw that Mount was starting.....Mount 3pts Grealish 8pts lol
Did that cost you two transfers, Emit?
I suppose most transfers would be best used once the teams were announced. It would be better if you knew how many transfers your opponents had used.

Very true...

I’ve used two. May make one for the France game later. Gives an extra interest in the game too.
I thought I’d put Eriksen in this morning but got home to see I hadn’t!
Nice to see all those missed points for the Argie defence and keeper!

Three now. MOTD have just tempted me to put Zielinski in!
Made 6. Like Kenbo I like having a extra interest in a game. Although I wished I hadn't bothered putting in extra players before the SA/Argentina game!
It did look like a game where a few points could be nicked. I’m pretty glad I only put Messi in!
Mad result although I haven’t seen any of the game yet.

i've made 3 subs, also got sucked into the Argie front line expecting goal fest.

I'd like to change my (panicked) opinion of a 2 furlong sprint, to a 6 furlong sprint and we're approaching the end of the first furlong...
Has anyone checked on JJmbe's nephew?
My transferred situation isnt looking very healthy tbh...

His nephew is propping up the pack! There’s still a long way to go. I don’t expect anybody to finish in the position they’re in now.
It’s at least 1m 4f imo!

I’ve used five transfers now. Will have to take a stand on a couple of teams later on and keeps their players at all times I think.
My sister said he is currently grounded playing up at school, he will be at mine on Saturday so expect an explosion of transfers this weekend .
.
I'm not gonna lie, feeling more than a little violated with Gundogan being given MOM....
God knows how they score these players. I’ve seen some terrible Star Man awards over the years.
I think him being substituted was very lucky for me in the end. Obviously his rating didn’t drop at all after that.

I have an overwhelming feeling of impending doom.... I started with a plan but seem to be breaking every basic part of that plan... 
What was your plan, Emit?
Anybody putting Ronaldo in? Friday will be a scoring day for most of us hopefully.

The plan was to stay cool... That went out the window shortly after the first kick-off..

Not many have put him in. He could’ve had a hat-trick already.
The paininthearse has spoken and has taken on half the Brazil team tonight, this will be interesting if they flop .
.
Here we go, last game of round one.. Whippin (Sand Monkeys) has been reeled back and no one seems to have made a break for it. A Ronaldo hat-trick would have been nice
There’s a fair few Brazilian defenders in our league tonight. I think I will be cheering Serbia on for a goal!

First round over...
It sure is. I’m hoping to stick with my English players but a win tonight could see most of them rested for the Wales game. Would have half a squad not playing then!
Nephew text me earlier can you swap Depay for Bergwijm forgot all about it, he will be happy if he pops one in 
.
.
You could be in big trouble! I expect Depay will get on later. He may do you a favour.
Is everyone aware that they have 30 transfers to use? It feels as though some people have entered a team and never came back to it.

A little bit of breathing space for Horses For Courses.
My last five transfers had yielded zero points! Shocking.

Had an option to put Noppert (Hol) GK in earlier, I considered it a no brainer... Till I started over thinking it.
I can’t believe you’ve still got two Qatari players in your team! I suppose they’re that cheap you’d need a big reshuffle to get them out.

It’s getting tight at the top!!! Use your transfers wisely
Kenbo and Sand Monkeys have chosen not to have Mbappe, Hmmmm... Put the cat amongst the pigeons.
It was looking like a great decision for 73 minutes!
I’m guessing most of us were thinking about putting Rashford in tonight. Gareth has for some inexplicable reason made our choice easy!

I’ve got nine transfers left and two Spanish players to get rid of. Any team who makes it to the semis are guaranteed two games including the third and fourth place play off. I think I need the argies out next game to have a shout. I haven’t got any of their players.
Also thinking to ignore defenders from here on in and concentrate on midfielders and strikers.

I'm almost out for the count, was 60 odd points behind and everyone had two or more of my squad, so gambled on some Japanese and Moroccan players as no one else had any, didn't work out ,looks like i'm going to lose family honours which i am more worried about my ears will be bleeding and will cost me , enjoyed it though bring on the Euro's

I think that’s the way it’s got to be played at this stage. Anybody too far behind has got to take a gamble on players that others of us haven’t got.
The Portuguese hat-trick scorer last night could’ve been a gem for someone.

Missed the late match last night but as you say, i was surprised nobody else gambled on him, gl to you all in the top 5.

After the Quarter Final matches... Kenbo's had terrible bad luck and TCSWC1 is finishing like a rocket! I only have 4 players left but I'm in better shape than I thought i would be, before the quarters... Need the line.

I’m in bad shape. I’ve got eleven eliminated players! I thought I’d be safe putting some Portuguese players in and was happy to take a punt on the English players.
When we equalised last night I think I went favourite for short spell. Not now though!
Still got three transfers left though.
Good luck chaps. I’ve enjoyed it.
Whippin also punted on England. Was worth it imo. Go big or go home!

I think you’re in the best position. Would rather be you than Emit (unless he’s got a few transfers left).
Good luck to you both.

All my transfers are done.. Thinking you have 2 kenbo.. Also thinking Argentina are destined to win, which will make it very possible for simmo to catch me. With luck any of us 3 can win, but tbh I made kenbo 1/4 fav just before the quarters. so you just never know...
Whatever happens it has been good fun!

You are correct. I think putting Mbappe in would be a waste of time for me. He’s probably favourite to score a good few points over the next two games but I need players now who you and Simmo haven’t got. Giroud and Rabiot are the two I’m more than likely to plump for.
A France clean sheet tonight could throw George into the mix too.

After Semi-Final matches.. I have Griezmann (fra) v simmos Giroud (fra), Tchouam.. (fra), Mac Allister (arg), Romero (arg) and Sosa (cro).. Doubt My 14 point lead will be enough to hang on especially with horses for courses 3 French defenders + Rabiot (fra) and Mac Allister (arg) just another 6
points behind..
I Just cant price it up though...

I can’t call it. I thought Simmo may have closed the gap on you by more than he has over the last two games.
Was a pretty perfect night for Horses For Courses with a clean sheet and a goal scoring defender.
Another France clean sheet would really mix it up.

Just had a look at top 3's teams, tough to call would still make you slight fav Em, points in the bag and all that, thoroughly enjoyable.
I’ve really enjoyed it too. Hopefully we can do the same again for The Euro’s.
Good luck to the three of you at the weekend. I know two of you will be cheering on an Argentina goal!

Yes it has been good fun! Personally I need Argentina to win and Messi to score as have had a few bets on them at start of tournament Good luck to all

You did very well to hold on for so long. I expected you to get swallowed up near the end.
Good to have three people in with a chance going into the final. Unlucky, Simmo.

Cost me two tickets for the Spurs FA 3rd game, getting beat by the nephew, could of had the car cleaned for a month if i won .

Well done Emit. As you know I went all in on England. Still think they were the best team at the WC but just unfortunate we had the wrong manager.
