“@tnargus: @CalvinDT I'd be dirty. You're still green vested on the site. #DoubleStandards” What? Argggg
Is Chook out of his depth – No Rooks at the World Cup
NZ may aswell be a team of rooks :P
ha ha paying $1000 / $1 for the win !!
Not really into this so called ‘football’ game, i prefer the real type.
Teams looking something like this ? There`s so many good players but a limit 2 from each side sucks.
Goals – buffon (schwarzer)
Def – alves, lahm, vidic, chiellini, (poulsen)
Mids – iniesta, gerrard, xavi, kata (ribery)
forw – messi, ronaldo, (rooney)
solid forward line, I have the same. Not too sure on ur defence though mate
yer good call was thinking maybe casillas
sorry he`s a goalie
Iniesta looks to be out for the first game.
what are you on about mate, alves and lahm are some of the best wing backs in the world and vidic is a gun
yes i have those 3 players as well. I am talking about hiellini and poulsen. they are not the elite of soccer
mate chiellini is world class… hav u considered pique??
i would consider puyol over pique.
Is that Dani Alves? He’ll be hard press getting a game.
yea i think macion has got the rb position and dani is probably on the bench? waiting to see who starts out of them two + i am tossing up between 2 spainish mids or one
one with Villa up front.
hoping maicon gets the gig over dani alves.
no Torres?
i think he’s under an injury cloud.
last question guys, i need to choose one of these 2 guys for my final midfield spot on the bench and they are : Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mesut Ozil leaning towards Ozil because it looks like he will assist a goal or two again the aussies.
against*
yeah i’d go ozil
This blog has been handy in my team selection:
http://worldsoccer.about.com/b/
I don’t really know what formation to go with. Thanks to Chook’s awesome advice, I am going with 1-5-2-3 with a defender as a captain. Hoping for some clean sheets. Hmm…
Another handy site
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/
As mentioned in the blog post! ;)
Warnie your far better off going with a midfielder as captain as they get clean sheets too, but also have more chance of getting a goal or an assist someone like kaka or xavi is a good bet for captain in the first round.
I have an issue…
Hodge, Carrots, Enright, Waters, Fisher, Shaw, Gilbee (webberly, Heath)
Monty, Barlow, Bartel, Pendles, Mitchell, Ball (ablett next week after downgrade) (howlett, Shuey)
Sandy, Hille (trading to cox) (Warnock, 77k)
Brown, Didak, Brennan, Gia, Pod, Okeefe, Pav (gumby, R.Roberts)
ok, howlett and ball both not playing = donut. Want to downgrade Howlett now cause job security is crap.
option 1: Howlett – Jizz berts
option 2: Howlett – Mcneil (dual possi) 45k cheaper than Jizzy!!!
this would work as i have like 3 fwds that can go mids
.But if gumby is out it doesnt work at all….
is the extra 45k worth the risk? i kinda think it is, gumby i think has good job security without lloyd and lucas.
shit wrong thread!
Buffon (lloris)
Lucio Terry Pique Chiellini (Gallas)
Lampard Sneijder Kaka schweinsteiger (ozil)
Messi Villa (Van persie)
tips help etc appreciated
Just made team
Goalkeeper:Casillas,(Buffon)
Defenders:Lahm, Maicon, Cannavaro, Terry, (Vidic)
Midfielders:Kaka, Ribery, Schweinsteiger, Fabregas, (Malouda)
Forwards:Messi, Rooney, (Ronaldo)
Thoughts would be appreciated. I joined the league. Watch out
Casillas (Buffon)
Terry Gallas Vidic (Neill, Lahm)
Gerrard Kaka Gourcuff Camoranesi (Sneijder)
Messi C.Ronaldo Villa
Got exact same forward as you haha
Interesting that there are no prices.
Anyone who doesnt have Villa up front is kidding themselves. I put $150 on Villa into Geelong at 23-1 and am feeling very confident.
Spain is the best team in the world cup.
Spain has possible the easiest draw in the group stages out of any team.
Spain SHOULD make the final which means he has the most opportunities to score.
Villa takes frees and penalties for Spain.
Do you need anymore i ask?
Word.
so you like villa then?
Yeah. Rooney could be a liability if that umpire sends him off for swearing lol
Current line up
Buffon (still to be picked)
Vidic,Maicon,Evra (Lahm,Terry)
(C)Gerrard,Kaka,Xavi,Ozil (Ribery)
Messi,Ronaldo,Villa
thoughts guys please.. Not confident on my defence. Holding Iniesta for when he is available otherwise I would ditch Cesar for Casillas.
Football rook so Im going a bit blind here
Goal: Buffon (Cesar)
Defenders: Lahm, A Cole, Vidic, Cannavaro (Elva)
Mids: Lampard, Xavi, Sneijder, Ribery (Iniesta)
Forwards: Messi, Fabiano (Ronaldo)
Messi gets the top job for the start
This is my team for the first round.
Goals: Cassilas (lloris)
Def: Maicon, Chiellini, Samuel (Carvalho, Cole)
Mids: Gerrard, Schwiensteiger, Sneijder, Van der Vaart (Ribery)
Fwds: Messi, Fabiano(c), Villa.
Going for a team that will get me through the first few rounds that uses the fewest trades when teams get eliminated.
Everyone relies on messi. His form for Argentina has been terrible i’m sure Higuain and Van Persie will score more goals.
Team locked n’ loaded
Buffon (Ceasar)
Cole, Zambrotta, Otamendi (Carvalho, Lahm)
Kaka (C) Lampard, Xavi, Ribery (Cahill)
Messi, Ronaldo, Villa
not to sure about Otamendi? but i doubt argentina will give up too many goals.
going with the following team unless there`s a massive screw up ?
Goals – Buffon (sorensen)
Defs – Alves Evra Vidic Lahm (cannavaro)
Mids – Gerrard Kara(c) Xavi Ribery (ozil)
Fows – Messi Villa (Rooney)
Any thoughts please tell.
haha school today was mega funny. We had a WC tipping comp and every was trying to act like experts. Here are some VERY funny quotes
“New Zealand have the best goalkeepers, they won’t have a goal scored against them”
“It will be too hot for Italy, they wont win any games”
“South Africa, they’re gunna smash Mexico 6-0 as they’re playing in Africa”
“Germany are the worst team in the world cup, they’re ranked like 160th”
“Ghana are 5th in the world, they’re gunna kill Serbia who are like ranked 70th”
These were all serious quotes…..sigh I’d wish people would stop be try-hards/idiots
My tips for 2nite:
Mexico 3-0
France 2-1
Is Samel e’to a good pick??
I think its an okay team someone tell me if its not haha:
G: Buffon (Lloris)
D: Terry, Lucio (Lahm, Carvalho, Vidic)
M: Gerrard, Kaka (C), Xavi, Ribery, Pirlo
F: Messi, Ronaldo, Villa
Cheers mate i just changed my formation haha
i based my team mostly on prem league but i think youve got to base your team around who you think is gonna make it through to the kncokout rounds (which you probably have theres a few there i dont know)
my team
buffon (schwarzer)
vidic gallas (lahm, evra bassong)
lampard (c) fabregas kaka sneijder schweinsteiger
messi roondog villa
knowing my luck ill do well in this as i have not over thought any of these players (unlike DT)
haha yeah agreed….i over think DT as well. Yeah i thort the formation 2-5-3 is good because mids and strikers will score migratory of points cant see defenders scoring many. Just traded Pirlo to Ozil hope its a good move.
lol i am absolutely clueless
modelled my team on a mixture of all ur guys teams haha
just found people who were listed in ur team and added a few people i knew from playing fifa 07 haha
Woooo! I’m currently ranked 7th in the world and 3rd in Aus!!! 7th in THE WORLD!!! Sorry, I’m a bit excited………. :p
