0:35
Hello, hello, and welcome
0:37
to your team selection for match day four.
0:39
As always, you're joined by me and the FPL
0:41
mode, and we're also joined by
0:44
Oh, wait. No. It's just me.
0:46
Thank you so much for joining me. Obviously, we're joined
0:48
by Scout tonight. And I would just
0:50
finish watching Cameroon, somehow, peak
0:52
Brazil. It was a Brazil
0:54
kind of bee team, really, Scout Cameroon one one
0:56
nil. And Switzerland and a ding dong battle
0:58
beat Serbia three two as
1:00
well, which is Fantasy for the group because
1:02
it means Switzerland go through
1:04
with Brazil topping the group, which means Brazil
1:07
are on the opposite side of England, which
1:09
will make things a little bit interesting. It's
1:11
been an interesting match day. There's
1:13
been a lot going on and a lot of
1:16
a lot of rotation that people didn't expect,
1:18
which didn't help in a game where you don't get
1:21
kind of safety notes like you would in something like Fantasy,
1:23
but it's been quite an interesting match day nonetheless.
1:27
Thank you for everybody. It's in the chat. We got a few
1:29
people in there already, Qurati Panya
1:31
and chasing arrows. Nice
1:34
to see that you're in the chat with us. So
1:36
tonight, I'm gonna be talking through the
1:39
rules going into the next stage. Obviously, we all got
1:41
a wildcard, but it's good to look at the rules and look at
1:43
how many players we can pick from each team. We're also
1:45
going to look at the tournament tree, so we can
1:47
start picking some players and some teams we want
1:49
to be investing in. We're gonna look how my team
1:51
got on. I would love to show you a screenshot of
1:54
my team going into the next round, but the matchday isn't
1:56
open until literally now. So haven't
1:58
had chance to actually make it yet, but I'll be making
2:00
it a little bit later and giving you a bit of hint
2:02
us to the players. I'm gonna be picking. I think
2:04
I'll there is gonna be a really, really
2:06
strong template moving forward
2:08
because we're all gonna have our players
2:10
that and our teams that we want to invest in because
2:13
they have a nice route forward, but there's
2:15
always little gyms you can find along
2:17
the way. Before I do
2:19
anything else, just quickly wanna mention the sponsor
2:21
we've mentioned the whole way through as well. Talksport
2:23
fan zone. It is in Lake Street where fans
2:25
football fest was absolutely fantastic.
2:28
You can go there. You can talk to people that have just
2:30
wanna talk about the football. Have a pint with them.
2:33
You know, have a pint of gin is clear if you really want
2:35
to as well. And you can just talk talk
2:37
about the thought and watch the the football as it's
2:39
on as well. Right.
2:41
Before we move any further then, we'd better talk
2:43
about the rules. So The
2:45
rules change I mean, they're they're
2:48
different in every game that you play, so do make sure
2:50
you check the rules. I've put the rules up
2:52
on here just to make sure that people know
2:54
about the transfer rules after
2:56
this round because we do have wildcard now,
2:59
so everybody gets a wildcard. But
3:01
then the first change in terms of
3:03
how many transfers you can have and how many players you
3:05
can own from each country, and it's really
3:07
worth making sure you know about that because it
3:10
will change how you pick your players. So
3:12
we all have a wildcard now. And
3:14
then after this round of sixteen,
3:16
we have four transfers that we can use. After
3:18
the court of auditors, we five. After semi finals, we
3:20
have five as well. And in the final,
3:22
we have six transfers we can use, which means,
3:25
yes, you can go all in on certain
3:27
teams but you also have the ability
3:29
to change those players. So don't worry don't
3:31
worry Scout, or should I play it say things like that?
3:34
Just go for it really. you can see at the bottom
3:36
there with the maximum amount of players you can own
3:38
from each team as well. Now we're in the round of sixteen.
3:40
You can own four from each nation,
3:42
then it goes on a five, then six, and then eight.
3:45
in the FIFA. So I mean, that makes sense, obviously,
3:47
doesn't it?
3:49
For me, there
3:50
are two ways of playing this now.
3:53
You either go all in on your
3:55
teams you think will make it and just hope they
3:57
do. And with the amount of transfers you get, I
3:59
think you can probably do that. or
4:02
you play it safe knowing that you're gonna
4:04
have lot of players going into the next rounds
4:06
because some people are gonna get this wrong.
4:09
Now in the euros, A
4:12
lot of people went in the, I'm gonna
4:14
go big on certain teams route, and
4:16
they went with France, they went with Spain, they got knocked
4:18
out on sixteen and it hurt them massively
4:20
and you're scrambling to try and get back.
4:23
We've seen a lot of shocks in this
4:26
in this ornament already. So it could
4:28
well happen again. So if
4:30
it does happen again, you might be
4:32
that person that's kind of hedged your bets a little bit and
4:34
you're in a better position. or if it doesn't happen
4:36
again and all the favorites go through and you have gone
4:39
for those big teams like France, Brazil,
4:41
those are the players those are the teams people are gonna
4:43
go for really. and
4:45
you've done it and they and they don't get knocked out and they go
4:47
through the FIFA, then you laugh, and aren't you? The only thing
4:49
is obviously they're gonna be very, very template. A
4:51
lot of people are gonna be going for those. But we'll
4:53
talk about the players you can go for and the players that
4:55
look like they're gonna be playing going into knockout stages
4:58
as well. But make sure look
5:00
at the rules and make sure you understand these rules before you
5:02
go forward because it really changes your team
5:05
how your team is set up moving forward. got
5:07
quite a few people in the chat now, sixty three people
5:09
in the chat already. FPL
5:11
Sparta evening. Thank you very much. Right.
5:14
So let's have a look at the tournament
5:17
tree, and here it is, how gorgeous
5:19
does this look? So many teams I wasn't expecting
5:21
to see. And so many teams I say so
5:24
many teams, two teams that won their group.
5:27
It still got a tough, tough,
5:29
tough draw out of it as well. So
5:32
We've got Japan and Croatia first. In
5:34
terms of who you think is probably gonna win
5:36
that game, I think that's a really tough game to call, but
5:38
think Croatia for me are probably edging it.
5:41
Japan had looked absolutely brilliant so far,
5:43
but I really like Croatia move forward.
5:45
I like Croatia defense as well. I think Sosa is still
5:48
a fantastic pick at three point five billion. and
5:50
you probably have to consider them even if it's
5:52
just as a budget enabler. Next,
5:55
we've got Brazil versus Korea.
5:57
Now I think Brazil are gonna be
5:59
heavily backed by everybody, to be perfectly honest.
6:02
I think Richard Allison has got to be there up
6:04
front because he's he's a cheaper option. And
6:07
you back in them to Scout goals. You look at those
6:09
two fixtures. They get past Korea. They've
6:11
then got Japan or Croatia in the next
6:13
round. And after that, you still expect
6:15
them to get through against any of Netherlands USA,
6:18
Argentina, or Australia. So I
6:20
think Brazil four times Brazil is
6:22
probably gonna be the way forward. Even if you
6:24
don't go four times, you just go three times. I think you
6:26
have to heavily back them. In terms of players,
6:28
you're gonna target for them. Richard
6:30
Alison, I've already I think you
6:33
probably do have to go with a defensive player.
6:35
Yes. They conceded against Cameroon state. It was
6:37
a b team. It wasn't until injury time.
6:39
So I think you probably have to go
6:41
with one of their vendors as well. They
6:44
should, I think, be having Danilo
6:46
back by then. Neema looks like he's gonna be back you wanna
6:48
take a punt on that. He says he's absolutely fine
6:50
to return for then. Scout it could be interesting
6:53
over somebody like him. Although, I think I'd probably
6:55
still favor regardless and personally just
6:58
due due to price and then you probably
7:00
go for one of their defenders as well, wouldn't you? think
7:02
I would probably favor Tiago
7:04
Silver just because their fallbacks
7:06
haven't been amazing so far and you know Tiography
7:09
always gonna play every game. If you
7:11
fancy an upset an upset an fancy
7:13
going for for career. I mean, you'd be a brave man
7:15
too. Wouldn't you especially if you kind of
7:17
have to go for two or three of their players? Then
7:20
obviously, Hong Min Son is there. He got an assist
7:22
today, I think. Or
7:25
if you've had to go for Croatia in Japan to beat
7:27
Brazil in the quarter finals and obviously
7:29
go for it. I think Croatia have some fantastic
7:31
players like I said, Sowserve is just such a good player
7:33
in terms of three point five million. I
7:36
think Brazil is the way you go for in this corner
7:38
though, isn't it? Moving on to the next fixtures,
7:40
into the next corner of the group, and these are some
7:42
fantastic fixtures. Netherlands versus USA,
7:45
Netherlands are a really really tough one for
7:47
me because I like Netherlands
7:49
in terms of their group stage. I think they did well in
7:51
the group stage. Gakko is somebody that you can
7:53
go with, but he is a striker which really hurts
7:56
because I think Richalis
7:58
inmessy and in Bape,
7:59
they're
8:00
just gonna be the three everybody picks because
8:02
they're in such lovely areas of the of the table
8:04
as well. So I think GAPPO is gonna
8:06
be a hard one to go with because you're
8:09
just not gonna go for him. Are you? The
8:11
only thing I guess could say is whether you
8:14
you go with Regales. And then if Brazil get
8:16
knocked out, you then transfer him out for, well,
8:18
no, you can't even do that either. So Gakko
8:20
is really tough, tough ass for me. I think
8:22
Dumfries is somebody you can go with even
8:24
though he's not been getting far forward as we would
8:26
have wanted him to. So you can go over someone
8:28
like Dumfries Bergwein. you can't really
8:31
go with now. Clarkson's not a bad
8:34
but it's Gap Hole, nothing which
8:36
is such a shame because he's a striker. So I
8:38
think I'll be going done frees there personally.
8:40
Not that it's still a good shout as well if
8:42
you fancy them to do well against USA.
8:46
USA, if you fancy that a bit of an upset
8:48
in this game, USA have looked good. POLICic
8:50
went off. I think they called it a
8:53
pelvic pelvic confusion
8:55
or something like that they called it was basically just
8:58
got hit hit in the testicles
9:00
very, very hard. which
9:02
obviously hurt, but they had to come out and say something
9:04
didn't they? Poonies that look fantastic in that
9:06
game. USA just looked absolutely brilliant at
9:09
the moment as well. If you an upset, Netherlands
9:11
haven't been incredible attacking
9:13
wise. So if you wanted to go for USAdefender,
9:16
it it's not the worst obviously,
9:18
someone like. like Tibbriem, but we'll
9:21
see how it goes. I would
9:23
I would be back in Netherlands in this game.
9:25
In the next game, Argentina versus
9:27
Australia, I think this is the game to
9:29
target in terms of captaincy. I think Messi
9:32
is gonna be highly captain. He's gonna
9:34
be the template captain against Australia because
9:36
Australia. Yes. They got through. It's absolutely
9:38
fantastic, but you would fancy Argentina
9:40
to do well in this game. Messi
9:43
is somebody that you just have to pick in terms
9:45
of, you know, stryker. You're probably gonna be playing
9:47
three strikers in this round as well. De
9:50
Maria is somebody that's been picked by a lot of players,
9:52
but it doesn't look like De Maria is gonna be fit
9:54
to play in this round.
9:56
Probably because they don't wanna risk him with
9:59
Australia coming up, then they think they could probably be Australia
10:01
without him. Argentina have
10:03
Huffed and puffed a lot. They've looked good
10:05
in probably one game so far. So
10:08
look, I don't think there's gonna be an upset in this game,
10:10
but Australia, you never know. They've obviously
10:13
got the the back in behind them. I
10:15
would going with Argentina. Messi's obviously
10:18
there. In terms
10:20
of who else, Acunas look good when he's played
10:22
at left back. You could go for Martin is at the
10:24
back of you that if you don't fancy Australia to
10:26
to score in this game, Rodrigo DePaul
10:29
really hasn't done a lot unfortunately. kept
10:31
picking him because he's so cheap, but he's done nothing
10:33
really. And De Maria doesn't look like he's
10:35
playing so messy, and I would probably
10:37
fancy going for double Argentina
10:40
defense personally. I
10:42
think Acuña and Martinez, something like that would
10:44
be quite fun. I think it's Maligne
10:47
as the other player, isn't it? So I probably go with something
10:49
like that personally. But in
10:52
terms of if it does become Argentina
10:54
versus Netherlands, in the quarter finals.
10:57
I think you'd fancy Argentina. Netherlands,
11:01
I just feel like when they go up against someone
11:03
big, I think they're gonna struggle Scout. And
11:05
I think Argentina might do them, which means that
11:08
Argentina Brazil semi final would be
11:10
absolutely beautiful, but we got enough transfers. We
11:12
can worry about Argentina Brazil in the semis
11:14
if we get there. Yeah. And let's be honest,
11:16
is it really gonna get to that point? Like,
11:18
is everything gonna go exactly as we as
11:20
we expect it to? Probably not. So we'll
11:22
see how that goes. John Cahill
11:24
says McAllister is the guy. Yeah.
11:26
McAllister did well in the last round and he got
11:29
his goal. bit of a lucky
11:31
goal. I don't know whether I'd go for him. But if you
11:33
fancy it and if you want that Argentina double
11:35
up in attack, then yes, go for it.
11:39
Chasing out as Andy, why did As Bill Quett to get
11:41
a minus one for conceding goals after he had been
11:43
substituted? Because it carries on even
11:45
after they've been subbed, so after they've been subbed, they
11:47
can still get minus points for conceding
11:49
goals in this in this Fantasy game, unfortunately.
11:53
Lots of people asking when we can make transfers. I
11:55
believe I thought it was gonna be as soon
11:57
as it finished. So I thought it's gonna be at nine o'clock.
11:59
So I'm waiting for it. You're hoping it's
12:01
at some point tonight because otherwise
12:03
we've got literally just tomorrow morning and afternoon
12:05
to to get ready, which is not ideal.
12:08
I just like to say quick as well before I move on to
12:10
the second half of the draw. I
12:13
was a little bit peeved off with
12:15
this round because I had him back pay in
12:17
because I thought he'd play against Tunisia, and
12:20
it turned out he didn't play. And I went to go
12:22
move him out. In my only break I had at work,
12:24
and the site crashed, so didn't get to move them out. I was
12:26
gonna move them out for full crook, the
12:29
German striker, and I
12:31
didn't get to. so brilliant. So I
12:33
yeah. I had one transfer. I didn't even use. So lovely
12:35
stuff. Right.
12:37
Oh, I just noticed, Jonathan Gill is in the chat
12:39
oil we make. Right. Moving on to the
12:41
second half of the draw, and I won't lie. If
12:44
we're looking at the first half of the draw, and
12:46
Brazilian Argentina looks like a very very
12:49
possible and probable semifinal.
12:51
Maybe Netherlands get in there too. This
12:54
side is looking tough. The second half of
12:56
the side is looking tough. lots of people mentioned
12:59
Julian Alvarez, by the way, six point five million.
13:01
Again, it's I'm struggling with those strikers.
13:03
I cannot look beyond Richard Allison. I cannot
13:05
look beyond MBatheon. I cannot look beyond Messi.
13:07
So yeah, I'm struggling there, unfortunately.
13:10
Morocco versus Spain water fixture.
13:13
I love this. Do you know what? I fancy
13:15
an upset here. III
13:18
know Spain blew away Costa
13:20
Rica in that first game, and they won seven nil.
13:22
But since then, I just think they're
13:24
susceptible. I think if you get in their faces,
13:27
III can just see them buckling and
13:29
they did it in that last game as well. they
13:31
did against Japan. They lost two one. They were all
13:33
over them first half and then somehow
13:35
managed to lose 21I am
13:37
going for Morocco in this fixture.
13:40
I don't think I'm gonna be having many Spanish
13:42
players in my team personally. If
13:44
I did, I think I'd be going for
13:47
what you'd probably be going for Ferranteores, wouldn't
13:50
you? Which isn't a bad shout. Jordi Albers,
13:52
obviously, been great at the back as well if you don't fancy
13:54
rock at a Scout. But otherwise, I I
13:56
think I'm gonna go for the Moroccans. I
13:59
It's gonna
13:59
be so heavily template moving
14:02
into these rounds now. I think
14:04
you have to try and I say
14:06
have to. Obviously, you don't have to, but I feel
14:08
like you probably it would be
14:10
fun to go for some players that you think
14:13
nobody else is gonna back them and I'm gonna back
14:15
them. I think Hakimi has been absolutely fantastic.
14:17
I think Zedge has been absolutely fantastic
14:19
as well. And the theory, I think his name is. I
14:21
think he's been okay. He obviously
14:23
scored a goal this fixture. I'm
14:26
gonna back Morocco and think I might get players
14:29
like ZH and Hakimi into my
14:31
team. Akim has been great. I really love
14:33
him as as an attack in outlet as well.
14:36
Portugal Switzerland next, again,
14:38
this could be an upset. This could easily be
14:40
an upset. Switzerland could easily be Portugal.
14:43
If you wanted to go to Portugal, we think Cam's yellow
14:45
is gonna be heavily owned. because a
14:47
lot of people are gonna be backing Portugal to maybe
14:49
get into the next round and maybe beat Spain and
14:51
Morocco if they get there as well. I
14:54
think Ronaldo, I don't think it's gonna be
14:56
heavily owned because all the other strikers are gonna be there.
14:58
And think that three that I've mentioned already is
15:00
gonna be the ten plate strikers. So
15:04
who else do you really own for Portugal? I
15:06
I think, like I said, Camchello is the shout.
15:08
Switzerland, I think I think
15:10
again, if you don't fancy
15:11
Morocco and you wanna go Spain, maybe go
15:14
for the upset with Portugal versus Switzerland,
15:16
maybe go for the players like Ricardo Rodriguez,
15:18
getting penalty against Portugal would be quite nice.
15:20
He is flown completely under the radar. You
15:22
know, Ricardo Rodriguez takes penalties
15:24
for switch Celine is a defender.
15:26
Four point five five million, I think he is in the game.
15:29
So that's not bad at all. Shekiri.
15:32
He's only the third player scoring the last
15:34
three World Cups, I think it is. which
15:36
is Ronaldo, Messi, and Shaquiri. So
15:38
he's always a great as well. Do
15:41
you know what? I'm not even sure if
15:43
Ebola's in the game yet, he scored again
15:45
today. Let me know in the chat if Ebola's
15:47
in the game again yet because Ebola would be a lovely
15:50
shout as well. Switzerland. If you Fantasy that
15:52
third Stryker's Scout to be someone different.
15:55
Total Long is mentioned in Bruno Fernandez.
15:57
Yes. Yes. I did mention him in the last
16:00
dream. Bruno is, for some
16:02
reason, he's barely in any teams. And
16:05
he seems to be turning into that talent.
16:07
But now for for
16:09
Portugal, because Ronaldo's just
16:11
slowly kind of dwindling down.
16:13
Obviously, Ronaldo one, he's on the pitch, he's still gonna
16:15
be on penalties. But if he does go off early, Bruno's
16:18
on them and he he's looked so
16:20
far is that a cis angle. So, yeah,
16:22
Bruno is not a bad show at all if you fancy
16:24
Portugal go through. But if you do go
16:27
with Portugal, it's gonna be tough to
16:29
go with Portugal and Spain players
16:31
because you're gonna have to be back in one of the
16:33
other, I think. And who would you back out of
16:36
Spain versus Morocco, Portugal versus Switzerland.
16:38
I guess you back Portugal, don't you? So
16:40
I could be wrong there. It could be Spain that go
16:42
through. It could be Spain in the semi Fantasy. But
16:45
I I don't know. I just fancy Morocco for
16:47
some reason. I could be well off. Could be so off
16:49
here, so I do apologize if I am.
16:53
And then we've got France versus Poland.
16:55
I think you've got to back France there. France
16:57
for me, and it looks like we're getting some early
16:59
team news with France as well. I
17:02
think girou is obviously a lovely shout
17:04
if you don't fancy going for mbappe, but
17:06
the way mbappe has looked so far, I think you've
17:08
probably got to go for him up
17:10
top. he's so captable in that game
17:12
against Poland as well. For me, I
17:14
think I probably gonna be going for Messi
17:17
as Fantasy first. And then if
17:19
Messi doesn't work, I think it's in Bape. I think I
17:21
think most people are gonna be doing that anyway, and
17:23
it does make an awful lot of sense. So
17:26
yeah, probably messy than in Backdate. And I think
17:28
because they are the two most
17:31
captenable players going into this
17:33
round, that's why you've got to own them as well. So
17:35
I I think that that makes an awful lot of sense. So
17:37
I I back France to go through. If you fancy
17:39
an upset there, Levandowski's obviously
17:41
now got his first goal in the World Cup as well.
17:43
I feel like he is an awful Zelensky, but
17:47
I I don't see France not scoring
17:50
in that fixed and I and I see them going through. So
17:52
obviously, you're gonna want to be tripling up or
17:54
quadrupling up on France.
17:57
Alex Meek, by the way, say Spain are the favorites for me.
17:59
They rotate half their team against Japan. They
18:02
did. I just I mean, a lot of players did
18:04
that. Didn't they? A lot of teams did that. They rotated and then
18:06
actually got surprise loss. But I
18:08
there's something about Spain. I just it's almost like
18:10
one of those soft underbelly's. I just feel like if you
18:13
get them, they're they're gonna buckle personally.
18:15
And I think Morocco have looked they've looked so
18:17
good for me, and they've looked good defensively as well.
18:20
And I really like that. And I just think Spain
18:22
flat to deceive in that Costa Rica game.
18:24
Everybody thought whoa. Here they are. and
18:26
then they've kind of reverted to type a little bit.
18:28
So I don't know. III just think Morocco
18:30
could be a good one. Someone
18:33
said, is there any news about Embraer? Is he is he
18:35
fit for the knockout? should be from everything I've read so
18:37
far. Right. And then
18:39
England Senegal, I think you've got to back
18:41
England Avenue. I know that's not just me being an
18:43
England fan. I think that's you've got Scout England
18:46
here. In terms of English players,
18:48
it's still the same as it's been all tournament.
18:50
For me, you back the the defense
18:53
more than anything else because I feel like
18:55
against Senegal, that is where we
18:57
would do quite well. I probably wouldn't triple
18:59
up. I think tripling up on England
19:01
defense is gonna be a tough ass now because
19:04
as soon as you come out of the Senegal game,
19:06
you've got the France game. In
19:09
terms of if it is England and France
19:11
in the quarterfinals, I think
19:13
it's hard to go with
19:15
England. I think France be gonna
19:17
be too much for England, mainly
19:20
just because of their attack. I feel like their attacks I
19:23
I feel like our defense is in a really good and
19:25
we played really well in that system. But
19:28
I just think if if there's any one
19:30
to one battles or even two to one, and Bape
19:32
is gonna absolutely destroy a lot of them, I saw
19:34
a lot of talk today about Karl Walker having
19:36
to play because he's probably one of the only
19:38
players in the world that go up against him back in do
19:41
quite well, which is probably right but
19:43
I'm struggling to see
19:46
a world where England beat France. So
19:48
we'll see. Maybe Poland do us a favor and we don't
19:51
even have to face France. We'll see what happens. Oh,
19:53
here we go. Jonathan Gill is saying, Dith, thank
19:55
you very much. He's saying that you can now do
19:57
your transfers on the site. So
19:59
get going. Yes. So England
20:02
versus Senegal, I found England. I would for
20:04
me, I think I'm probably gonna go double defense and I'm
20:06
gonna go with an attacker. The attacker
20:08
you go with is obviously up to you, I think Thornton's gonna
20:10
be very, very popular. Now, I think Rashford's still
20:12
a good shout. I think Kain's gonna be very lowly
20:15
owned because of those three being so template
20:17
in Richardus and Mbappe and Messi. So
20:19
If you wanted to go with Kain brilliant, he's looked good for
20:21
assist so far, hasn't scored
20:23
a goal, but you know he's gonna play and you know he's gonna get
20:25
in the minutes. So,
20:27
yeah, I would probably go I'm not gonna be going any
20:29
more than a triple up on England. I think two defenders,
20:32
which would be trippier in shore, most probably.
20:35
although McGuire is still, you know, still banging
20:37
on that door for a go. And then
20:39
I would probably go for one of those midfielders, Foden,
20:41
or Rashford personally. Although actually Rashford's a striker.
20:43
So probably be folding won't it. So
20:47
those are that's the size of the draw. In terms
20:49
of the players
20:51
that I think are essential moving
20:55
forward, I think you've got
20:57
to have Brazil. I think you've got to have
20:59
triple Or quadruple Brazil. I
21:01
think double defense, if
21:03
you can, and then one of them had fielded one of their
21:05
strike because regardless has got to be there for me, I
21:07
think. And then Argentina,
21:10
I see Argentina getting all the way to the semi
21:13
finals. And I think that's all you gotta think about at moment is
21:15
who's gonna be getting to the semi finals. So Brazil,
21:17
Argentina, triple up or droop up if
21:19
you can. I still think well,
21:21
I'm gonna have Rodrigo de Paul in my team. I know I
21:23
am. And then It's
21:25
really, really tough for me out of that Morocco,
21:28
Spain, Portugal. don't fancy Switzerland,
21:30
but out of those 3II
21:33
think I'm gonna do it, and I think I'm just gonna go from
21:35
Morocco and see what happens. And
21:38
then France, Poland, England, Senegal, I
21:40
think I'm gonna be going for
21:43
at least triple France and at least
21:45
and and probably some
21:47
of England as well, but we'll see Unfortunately,
21:50
I've got to not put my heart there and say that
21:52
I I'm expecting England to
21:54
get knocked out in the court finals to France,
21:56
but we'll see what happens. Now
21:58
the biggest thing, like I said here, is that
22:00
this is where you can go for a few differentials
22:03
as well. Nothing ever goes away we expect.
22:05
we didn't expect some of these teams to get through,
22:07
do we? So make sure you do go for what
22:09
you think is going to happen because you
22:12
that that's the way to do it. I remember flat
22:15
Jack, he won't mind me mentioning him. Last
22:17
year, he did this in the euros. Last year, the
22:19
last time he played this in the euros. He went with England.
22:21
Novios did because we're pessimistic. he absolutely
22:23
was loving life all the way through. He's doing
22:26
absolutely fantastic again this year. So
22:28
make sure you give him a follow-up. If it's in the chat, he's having
22:30
a fantastic year as well. So just
22:32
just go for it with those players you think would do quite
22:34
well. Yeah,
22:36
I think those are the teams obviously target Brazil,
22:39
Argentina, France, And
22:41
then Morocco, Spain or Portugal, that's where you
22:43
can really get those differentials in it, I think, based
22:45
on who you think could do quite well.
22:47
i'm
22:48
Right. My team from this week. Yeah.
22:51
So I was absolutely gutted. I couldn't do anything with a
22:54
back end. I couldn't get full crowding because think full crowd got an
22:56
assistant to go once he came in. That
22:58
rank is wrong. think I'm at about a thirty k
23:00
now, but not doing too bad. PulaCic
23:02
kit was it was my power captain. I thought somebody
23:05
would haul in this team and they really
23:07
didn't Poonersett was the only one
23:09
that did okay. At one point, I thought we're
23:11
all might might be my power captain in the end,
23:13
but Poonersett comes in. especially was
23:15
on the bench, got penalties saved and conceded. Get

25:20
the
25:22
Adash says you can make multiple teams and
25:24
not yet get sat side. Your heart is going to go
25:26
everywhere. Yeah. Thank you. Toto,
25:29
will Saka start? Do you think I
25:31
think it's gonna be harsh, but I don't think he's
25:33
going to. I think it's gonna be rush to unfold and
25:35
again. It's
25:37
such a shame that it will be,
25:40
but
25:40
III just have a feeling it's going to be. think
25:42
rash look brilliant. I thought Saka looked great in the
25:44
first game, but toiled in the second game.
25:46
And I think he'd be absolutely
25:49
mad not to start folding now. So The
25:51
great thing with Saket and the great thing with
25:53
Greelish as well is that they can come on
25:56
and do absolutely amazing damage
25:58
once they come on as well. So yeah, I
26:00
think it's gonna be harsh, but I I don't think he's
26:02
gonna start. I could be very wrong there.
26:06
Jonathan Gilles' favorite English tenders
26:08
to own in order. It's
26:11
probably gonna go trippier
26:14
first than it's gonna be sure than Maguire
26:16
and Stones. Tripia
26:18
because he's on the set pieces and he looks so dangerous
26:20
going forward. Sure. He's
26:22
so good playing for England years on sunset pieces
26:25
too. McGuire, It's close
26:27
between Maguire and Shore, but I just think Maguire
26:29
is just due, what are those goals, isn't he?
26:31
And then stones behind that? Although stones look look
26:33
great as well, but I I think that's probably the way I
26:35
go. FPL
26:37
Chester. It says double Japan
26:40
or Croatia. Let me just bring up the
26:42
fixtures again.
26:49
I said I would back Croatia. Croatia
26:51
did really well in the group. So it looked great defensively.
26:53
He kept two clean sheets so sir,
26:57
three point five million. Even if you wanna go double
26:59
japan, I'd still go so sir just because he's
27:01
three point five million. So I
27:04
probably go double Croatia
27:07
personally. And I probably
27:10
it's just tough to know who I was to go for,
27:12
isn't it? I I definitely go so, sir. And
27:14
then after that, I guess, it's a bit
27:16
tough. I mean, modric, she's a bit of a good big game player
27:19
now, isn't he? Toto
27:21
says, is Matoma a good option? Yeah. If you're back in Japan,
27:23
yeah, he's been he's looked really, really good.
27:26
I love like Matoma. Norman says
27:28
Alison Golly opinion. yeah, I mean,
27:30
he's he's gonna be playing. Obviously, Edison, he played today
27:32
because he's in the he is in the second team. But, yeah,
27:34
I I think Alison's a great show. You
27:36
go with Alison. He's he's your keeper then and potentially
27:39
until the final was a knee. Daniel
27:41
Slava. Slava says, France, Brazil,
27:43
Argentina, three to four players. The rest
27:45
is unpredictable. Yeah. That's exactly it.
27:48
And that's that side of the group
27:50
that we quite like, isn't it Morocco, Spain, Portugal,
27:52
Switzerland, who's gonna get through to the semifinal? It's
27:55
really tough. to pick out of
27:57
those ones. I think Spain and Portugal are gonna most
28:00
backed, but I think it's not
28:02
outside of the realm's possibility that
28:04
Morocco or Switzerland somehow get through those,
28:07
we'll see what happens. Alex
28:09
Mika, I think England will suit play in France and the
28:11
counter better than we would against Senegal,
28:14
low block. Honestly, think we could do France. Yeah.
28:16
We could do. We really, really could.
28:18
It's just those one on one situations. It's
28:20
just about how Gaurav Southgate sets
28:22
himself up against them and whether he can
28:26
it's just the ninety minutes. It's it's ninety
28:28
minutes plus those ten minutes, whatever we're
28:30
gonna have injury time.
28:33
those moments of one or two moments where
28:36
can we do it? Can you know, if mbappe gets
28:38
one on one with Maguire, like, is he
28:40
is he gonna Is is it is it gonna
28:42
come out the other side? And I just I
28:44
don't know. I just advanced them to score a few more
28:46
goals than we can, but we'll see. I do agree though.
28:48
It will be it will suit our counter attacking style.
28:51
Adam Clark, is Bruno a good count
28:53
is Bruno a good captaincy option?
28:57
Yes.
29:00
but I think it's gonna be hard to
29:02
go against messy and mbaffé
29:04
for captaincy this this week. Even with Charlesons,
29:07
a good captaincy option. So Yes,
29:10
if you fancy going differential. Chim,
29:12
I have a rule to have at least one player from each
29:14
continent. Who's the best
29:16
African Asian and North American players
29:18
in Europe? opinion. So African,
29:21
I think, is one of ZH or Hakimi,
29:24
really like both of them. Asian.
29:27
Someone's already mentioned it. If you really wanted to go with Japan,
29:30
I think I would go with someone like Matoma. He's looked
29:32
really, really good, and North America's
29:34
gotta be realistic. If he's fit, if he's
29:36
testicles, feeling better, think I'd probably
29:38
go realistic. Tech
29:41
says best England midfielder, Foden.
29:43
I can't see world in which Foten
29:45
doesn't start this fixture, so Foten for me.
29:49
Adash says, is GAPCO locked in as a forward.
29:52
I wish I could. I really, really wish
29:54
I could, but I just can't look beyond Retrialsen
29:57
and Pape and Messi.
29:59
if
29:59
I fancied going against
30:02
Richard Allison, I'd go Gakko, I think.
30:05
But I I just don't see myself doing
30:07
it, and that could be wrong. Daniel
30:11
Slabaugh says, Gaffko might have a really tough time
30:13
against young USA team. He might do.
30:16
the one thing I always say about GAPPO is
30:18
he's not having a ton of chances, but
30:20
he is coring with the ones he's got. He's been extremely
30:23
efficient. think So three shots on target
30:25
and scored three goals. So yeah.
30:27
And this US18 is so athletic. So
30:30
I I've been so impressed with this US18. By the way,
30:32
Tyler Adams is faster it might one of my favorite
30:34
players. I absolutely love it. Alex
30:39
says, would you say we have a better bench than France?
30:41
I think we have better impact players.
30:43
I think we've got to be fair, I think
30:45
we've got the best impact players in the whole tournament.
30:47
I really, really do. When you think you can bring players
30:49
like greenish or SakaFO and
30:52
Rashford on off the bench. think that's absolutely
30:54
fantastic. So, yeah, I think I think
30:56
we do. If we're toiling
30:59
in the sixtieth, seventy fifth minute and it's still
31:01
no no, I think we can make a bigger impact
31:03
than they can. It's just whether our can
31:05
defense can do well against their attack
31:07
four ninety minutes, which I think is a big
31:09
ask, but we'll see. Christian
31:13
says hope for a final England versus
31:15
Argentina. Do you think Alvarez will overtake
31:17
Martinez in the starting lineup? Martinez,
31:20
I don't like Martinez just because he always goes
31:22
off early. Alvarez took his
31:25
goal really well, didn't he? So I
31:27
don't mind, Alvarez. I just struggle picking both of
31:29
them because I I kind of know who my three are gonna
31:31
be up top. So I think
31:34
there's
31:35
every chance Alvarez takes over from
31:37
Martinez. I I do think there is because artist
31:39
keeps going off early and think he might go for
31:41
Alvarez because he's he's just look better when he's been
31:43
playing. He looks like he's been a better finisher
31:45
so far and he can stay on-site, which helps as well.
31:49
Tech says Matoma doesn't even start with Japan. He's
31:51
used as a super sub. He is indeed. But
31:54
there's every chance he could start going into the next
31:56
one, so we'll see what happens. Sam
31:59
says picking from England as a risk, what you think.
32:01
The one thing I will say is
32:03
a lot of people can get fixated on
32:06
the court final, on the semifinal, on the final,
32:08
things like that. You do get points obviously
32:10
for the for the round of sixteen. So make sure you pick players
32:12
for the round sixteen too. England have a lovely
32:14
fixture against Senegal. If you fancy them to
32:16
get a clean sheet and to score a goal or
32:18
two, then then do back them because you've
32:20
got four transfers to use after this round.
32:22
So make sure you use those transfers. You can get
32:24
rid of your England clothes. If if they, you know, you
32:26
can get rid of them before France, but then you can keep them
32:28
for France as well. So don't be scared to to
32:31
invest in these teams as well. So, you know,
32:33
if you wanna go for Portugal and Morocco, then,
32:35
yeah, go for it. Chasing
32:38
Arris is I'm doubling up upfront with Mbappe
32:41
and Jirou. Nice. Sounds good. Toto,
32:44
as a lead fan, Tyler Adams, is immense and
32:46
watch out for Aronson off the bench tomorrow. Yeah.
32:48
Honestly, Tyler Adams is he he's
32:50
just so mature for his age as well. I
32:52
I just really really like him as a player.
32:55
Marco Leary Senegal to be England. Could
32:58
you imagine? And then France against Senegal would
33:00
be lovely core finals.
33:04
Dah
33:04
dah dah dah dah dah
33:06
dah dah dah dah dah
33:08
dah dah dah dah
33:10
dah dah dah dah dah. I've
33:13
seen quite a few people
33:15
saying that Karl Walker might not
33:18
be played against Senegal because
33:20
he will definitely play against France
33:22
if we get if we play France in that next
33:24
round. I think it was Gary Linica
33:26
saying on the BBC. So
33:28
III
33:29
would struggle picking Carwalkers because I
33:32
don't expect him to play against Senegal, but
33:34
I also I I expect him to play against France
33:37
by expect nothing against France in terms of I don't
33:39
expect them to be very attacking against France. I
33:41
expect them to be that defensive write back. So
33:44
I think if you're gonna do it, you go trippier
33:46
because you'd expect in the play against against
33:48
Senegal.
33:51
Sam says, Foden
33:54
or Saket, I think is Foden me. They could
33:56
both stop. I I think it's probably gonna be frozen
33:58
personally. Right.
34:00
We'll stop there because otherwise I'm gonna
34:02
going on too I've already got lot longer though. I thought
34:04
