2018 World Cup Thread - Fantasy Updated through Semis, BTB has three point lead

[Justicebork]

It is with profound shame that Avicii's Legacy selects Jesse Lingard.

I think I am drafting a back up team. Goddamit.

Asensio will definitely see the field, shit it wouldn't blow my mind to see him start a game or two. Dembele is definitely a reserve though.

 

[OblongPickle]

DeacMan and timdunk around the bend and bring it back.

 

[DeacMan]

Sorry. Trade offer just fell through Give me a few.

 

[Justicebork]

Is this going to be the official World Cup thread as well? Or is it just for the fantasy draft/league?

Actually, we could do this NCAA Tournament style and have a separate thread for each group? Or better yet, 32 new threads - one for each team? Just trying to get our money's worth because in the WC you get out what you Putin!

 

[DeacMan]

Kamil Grosicki - Poland - MID

 

[vadimivich]

Like the Draxler pick

I was hoping to snag him later as insurance for the inevitable Reus injury

I'm seeing some position discrepancies between our google doc and the ones listed on fifa's website.

One problem is the official PDF of teams/positions listed earlier in this thread no longer loads, but when I got to the team pages there are some players whose positions don't match.

Just got back from the doctors office, give me five.

Well that is unfortunate. I guess the only fair thing to do is to keep them as they are now, since that's the info everyone was using when the draft started.

 

[Fayettenam]

Who is going to be around for the next 20 minutes? I'll rep you with my next pick in case I'm not here.

 

[OblongPickle]

For example, Dries Mertens is on my team already. On the google doc he was listed as a MID, he's showing as a FWD on FIFA.com.

Dendoncker is listed as MID on doc, DEF on fifa.com

Carrasco is listed as FWD on doc, MID on fifa.com


It may just be a Belgium squad issue?

Correct. NO changes.

 

[Biff Tannen]

And so it begins.

 

[OblongPickle]

Easy killer, wasn't suggesting any changes, just wondering if it was a one-off or regular occurrence.

 

[timdunkandthefunk]

DEF - Martin Caceres
DEF - Kyle Walker

 

[DeacdeTejas]

DEF - Martin Caceres
DEF - Kyle Walker

Walker was on my list

Dendoncker is listed as MID on doc, DEF on fifa.com

Yeah, I kind of regret taking Lukaku over Mertens. We'll see.

 

[DeacMan]

OK You are on the board again Bork.

Also, if anyone is interested in Higuain or Aguero, I'm open for business.
