I subbed Rangel for Crépeau & it paid off giving an extra two points.

What is wierd is I seem to have a Cabo Verde defender in my team. Now I know I've never added a CV player so not sure what's happened there

:shock: very surprised to still be top (albeit only just) after Rd2, given I cocked up my transfers/wildcards after Rd1

Well done Cat.

I'd have been top again had Harry Kane put that easy chance away in the final minutes, trust an English striker to let me down.

Do we make transfers now or wait until the group fixtures are over?

Now... you should get one or hold it over to the next round if you like your roster. Don't forget to use your bonuses if you like. By your team sheet you'll see an orange lightning bolt. click on that.

12th man - Add another starter to your team and not from your bench
Wild Card - Make as many subs as you like
Captain boost - double points

Mystery Boost and Qualification boost (all the players that qualify for the next round will get a 2 point bonus) These two bonuses are not in play yet .

Thanks Faaip.

I can't see the orange lightning bolt though.

It goes when the first game of the round starts ... Plenty of rounds to use them up. Make sure you bonus up after the group stage and before the round of 32

The mystery bonus is a clean sheet shield, if your defenders concede one goal you still get the points for a clean sheet.. I like it

The wildcard might be best used in the knockout rounds if you lose a lot of players..

I've seen that one. :tup:

I'll check out the bonus up option.

Thanks once again.

I'm back on top now.

Faaip made a significant move up the table.

The table will change on a day to day basis.

I cocked up on my goalie making a change yesterday, hoping I could sub him if he scored low, not allowing me to make another sub.

I got a nice scouting bonus for Danilo as he's only 1% owned... I really couldn't see Scotland scoring last night. Plus the 30 for Junior was nice. I don't own Ronaldo (god forbid) Haaland or Messi so I expect I'll go backward once they've all scored hat tricks this week

Raph obviously missed his game which is a wasted roster spot.

I'd have started the Mexico keeper over the Canadian one tbf ... Switzerland are the better team.

Thank you Sarr who got me another scouting bonus on top of an assist and goal..

Unlimited transfers for the first knockout round (I think you can start making them now if you want but probably best wait till all the games have been finalised, and don't forget you're bonuses folks, again must be played by the time the first game kicks off...

83 points for me so far this week, getting the hang of this. 3 still to play

I'd be tempted to wait until this round is finalised.

70 points for me with two to play.

If my captain Harry Kane has his shooting boots on, it could be a good night for me.

With hindsight, I wish I'd captained Dembele.
