You have to select 23 players with a budget of 100 million which isn't easy.

Is there a limit on people? as I know gooseberry fool all about football and don't really watch it so although it looks fun to play and stuff I dont want to if it means someone else isn't going to be able to.

I know strawberry float all about football so I'll probably get my brother to select my team.

Excellent start for me as I have Marcelo in my defence...

Also realised i haven't actually joined the league yet!

Neymar as captain, good start for me. Annoying that it only updates your stats at the end of each round though.

Vlaar as centre back :datass: 9pts.

None of my other players have played yet.

Fabian Delph is a banana split.

So, only just worked this out -

Each round (3 rounds in the group stages) you can sub out a player after they've played, but can't sub in a player after they've played. So I could sub out Neymar and lose the points he's accumulated, but I couldn't replace him with Eto'o because Eto'o has already played this round.

Implies that if you're going to monitor it, you should have the players who play earlier in your team rather than on the bench.

Not that it really matters if you've done what I have and have a bench full of Iranians and Algerians. :shifty:

If you can read this, you're too close.

How's everyone doing after the first half of this round?

I really didn't get how this worked, so kind of strawberry floated myself over with player selections. Should be more on it next round.

Best player is currently Honda with 10 points, worst being Konan Ya, and Dorgba with 1 point each, but can't swap them out as I didn't plan ahead and have no other available players. :fp:

Had Barry as my keeper, but he only got 5 points, and I reckon I can get more of that. Now have to decide between the Ghanaian keeper (he's playing America) of the Portuguese one (against Germany) as they're playing at the same time. Probably go with Portugal, there.

Captained Neymar this round so he's got 28 points for me. Worst player is Fabregas with his small sub appearance and 1 point, while everyone else who's played has around 5. Got six players yet to kick a ball though so I'm hoping they can get me a fair few points.

The league doesn't show up in My Leagues, but I show up in the league when I search for it. I assume it's the same for everyone until the first round is over.

Coentrao injured for the rest of the tournament :fp:

That along with a Marcelo own goal and having Cesc in my starting 11 with Beausejour and Cuadrado on the bench, this hasn't been the best start...

Thank god for Benzema and Aurier.

It's a bit sucky that the guys from group H don't get their first game counted toward the first round.

That is correct, right?
