    look at the top players, all thay have are just 3 defenders and tons of forwards. Should have done that. player a 3 4 3, and sub fwd players everyday. Midfielders are not good for fantasy game, especially those hardworking ones like Gerrard.

    3-4-3 is the only way to go, although your actual formation doesn't make much difference because only a handful of your players are active on any day. You could go with 1-1-2 because the other players aren't doing anything anyway.

    HB, my team sucks, because I spent a lot of picks on those hard-working people. I also can't micromanage too much, as I'm in Germany, and there's not much time to check the net with regurality.

    That, and my keeper choices suck.

    Just added my team. I don't fully understand things, but it's all for fun anyway. :)

    Hope there will be plenty of shots for the korean goalkeeper to save!

    I don't understand things at all to be honest! :lol:
    I picked my team and it's only untuil recently I realised you change your captain every day and can change your team every day. I haven't touched mine :lol: .

    Come on Barmy, you're supposed to be the 'Sports Guru'! If a dumbo like me can figure it out, you should be able to cane it.

    Barmy Army, just so you know, trading players is cheap, and only powerplayers do it.

    I must say, Yahoo and McDonalds have done a CRAP job at making a decent Fantasy Cup Manager, this one blows on so many levels it isn't even funny.

    Too right, I have 3 or 4 going at the minute and this one is by far the worst/strangest.

    Such sour grapes! Just because you're not winning, the game MUST be bad / strange.

    Stupid Zidane just got me negative points. He's ordinary.

    Having played a few fantasy sports games before I have to agree with Rutkowski; this one looks quite bad. Regardless of that it adds a little bit of extra fun while watching the games.

    guys! you can line up your players for all dates all at once. just click the calender dates. so, practically, you don't need to change your captain "everyday", just do it in one day.

    Unless your players are all useless and give you negative points. Then you're better off having done nothing. Useless Zidane......

    Hopefully having learned how this works I've created the "Cuddly Kittens". Beware the kittens as they score more points than you can shake a stick at. ;)

    Ha, I'm still winning. You others just aren't trying. Wish we were playing for money now.

    Why do you have two teams, Earl Grey? Doubling your chances? Now I really wish we had an entrance fee pot.

    Although I still have loser Polish and Dutch players who are doing nothing for me, as well as too many negative scoring players. So many yellow cards in this World Cup that sometimes the guys who don't aply are better than the ones that do.

    Doubling my chances? :)
    No, just disregard the "Slow Food Lovers". Consider it a test run. Either way, "Cuddly Kittens" has missed the entire first "round" and won't stand a chance because of that.

    ... or will they? :angel:

    Useless Joe Cole only earned me 1.5 points in that game.
