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

I was going to. Thanks so much for joining us

34:08

34:10

34:19

34:23

34:25
