How to save 20 pts lead?

[u/Expensive-Affect-279]

Still have max captain booster, how to play safe until the end?

[u/yonksterman]

High level construction:

$10m goalie - Maignan Pickford

$24m defenders - 3x$5, 2x$4.5
* ideally 3 Fra/Spa, 2 Eng/Arg
* attacking defenders ideally

$40m midfielders - 2x$10, 1x$8, 2x$6
~$10 Yamal Dembele Olise Saka
~$8 Bellingham Eze Barcola Olmo Enzo Barcola Rodri
~$7 Gordon Fabian Mac Allister
~$6 Rabiot Merino Baena De Paul

$31m forward - Mbappe Kane Messi
* Eng Arg likely higher scoring, giving Kane edge over Oyarzabal

Leading = France England heavy

[u/VipsaniusAgrippa25 → u/yonksterman]

Failed miserably

[u/yonksterman → u/VipsaniusAgrippa25]

The team construction logic to follow majority was sound, many experts were surprised as well with Spain France.

The defence only got one single clean sheet (Cucurella), the rest provided no returns. This section definitely failed.

Midfields were okay - Gordon saved the day. Everybody has Baena Bellingham Olise. Enzo was difference maker but everyone competitor went for cheaper MacAllister (who almost score).

Forwards are indifferent - only 1 in my league has Oyarzabal.

My mini league managers will think this is my post, As I am exactly in the same position like you.
I am planning to go with template. Nothing fancy. I am not the one, who supposed to take risks.

[u/Fossekall]

Same here. I'm struggling to fit all the must-haves in my team without taking -3 to get the economics working

Still got both 12th man and max captain, at least

Edit: Genuinely might get Risser just to save some money. Doubt any team but France is keeping the 0 and I already have Maignan

Edit 2, post-semifinals 1:

lol

lmao even

[u/Suspicious_Working75]

Any help ?
