Ah yes, of course. Wasn't that the one where Bobby Moore was shot in the eye by an arrow?

Couldn't get a good user name. All variations of Heskey I tried were taken so I got bored

[DK]

i couldn't be arsed to think of anything so i just put the first thing that popped into my head. not sure what that says about me really but there you go

[DK]

my team is awesome by the way. i made an insane first xi and then filled my subs bench with 1 point iranians and algerians, so if anyone picks up an injury i'm screwed. who you got in the first xi?

[Psychotic]

hahahaha yeah don't worry mate, got a couple of lads at work to sign up and all three of us have a troutload of 1 point Algerians and Iranians.
I'll leave off the bums:

Goalkeepers
Claudio BRAVO (Chile)
Orestis KARNEZIS (Greece)

Defenders
Ricardo RODRIGUEZ (Switzerland)
Erik DURM (Germany)
Pablo ZABALETA (Argentina)
Sead KOLASINAC (Bosnia)
Vasileios TOROSIDIS (Greece)

Midfielders
Blaise MATUIDI (France)
WILLIAN (Brazil)
Angel DI MARIA (Argentina)
Joao MOUTINHO (Portugal)
Miralem PJANIC (Bosnia)
Nabil BENTALEB (is a random Algerian 1 point bum but thought it hilarious as he was a regular starter for Spurs)

Forwards
Thomas MUELLER (Germany)
Alexis SANCHEZ (Chile)
Antoine GRIEZMANN (France)
Javier HERNANDEZ (Mexico)

It's kind of a hipster team I really struggled with the points limit truth be told.

[DK]

my teams for the first round is:

GK: Romero

DF: Kompany
DF: Varane
DF: Pique

MF: Pogba
MF: Dave Silva
MF: Oscar
MF: Hazard

FW: Messi
FW: RICKIE LAMBERT
FW: Ronaldo

then the only other player of note in my squad is Michel Vorm. all the rest are from like, iran, honduras, algeria etc

[Psychotic]

Messi and Ronaldo? Get out xD I'm taking a rotation policy and I guess you're going balls out first XI. I intend to switch it up here and there depending on fixtures. My Bosnian boys won't play v Argentina but they'll sure as trout play against Iran and Nigeria.

Weird as hell seeing a Japan flag next to your name.

[DK]

the only reason I did messi and ronaldo is because I could xD i'm pretty sure the thing is broken tho. like it's supposed to be the same as prem fantasy with 3 players from one nation max per team but I hit autocomplete after doing my xi and it filled it with bums from iran and accepted it. i have like 5 iranians on the bench haha. but yeah I have in no way shape or form the desire to micro manage this thing.

also I know right? gimped me out a bit as well.

[Psychotic]

Jammy smurfer. I hit my limit and ended up having to pick up a 1.5 Honduran. I had Pogba in my team too but had to downgrade him to Matuidi because of the 0.5 I needed for that Honduran.

Oh well, my strikers are playing Cameroon, Honduras and Australia on the first day so it's not all bad.
