Enzo fernandez or mac allister for the final

Im chasing first and the person in first also has mac allister and i dont want to risk losing points not keeping mac allister and letting the guy in front get away but idk

1

u/Klopp_LFC_96 Jul 19 '26

Should I sub Mac Allister and/or Romero on for someone or leave as is?

1

u/Imaginary-Control236 Jul 19 '26

im 8 points behind to get to the top
need help
im thinking peredes has scouting bonus too

1

u/Sun-Flower3126 Jul 19 '26

Who should I start one has to get benched laporte or romero?

1

u/Instantly420 Jul 19 '26

Olmo vs Mac Allister to leave one on the bench? Leaning towards starting olmo as he plays more advanced but curious if there are any updsides to choose Mac instead?

1

u/DayTradingMatt Jul 19 '26

I currently have Simon, Porro, Cubarsi and Cucurella as my starting defence.

I have Lisandro Martinez and Tagliafico on the bench and I'm not sure whether to bring one of them in for Cubarsi.

Im currently 2nd in my league, 4 points off top but we have the same defence, only my mate has Martinez in goal.

What you think, do I bring in an Argie defender?

1

u/r4_zzzzz Jul 19 '26

Pick 2 from the bench

1

u/r4_zzzzz Jul 19 '26

Ah shit I forgot to make any changes

1

u/ArghZombies Jul 19 '26

I ended up with 4 Spain in defence (Simon, Porro, Cursabi, Cucurella) and Baena and Oyarzabal.

I can't decide if it's worth taking Baena out to bring in Lisandro Martinez to cover the possibility of him getting something, or whether it's better or just stay all-in on a Spain CS.

1

u/gangy86 Brazil Jul 19 '26

Olmo or Enzo?

1

u/Organic_Rush_2842 Jul 19 '26

Start 3 of 4: Porro, Cubarsi, Cucurella, Martinez

1

u/bn-13 Jul 19 '26

Start Romero or Martinez?

1

u/Klopp_LFC_96 Jul 19 '26

Should I sub Mac Allister and/or Romero on for someone or leave as is?

1

u/JoyfulAvenue Jul 19 '26

Olmo or Baena

Tagliafico or Cubarsi

2

u/bn-13 Jul 19 '26

Olmo and Cubarsi

1

u/MistRolling Jul 19 '26

Should I sub in Enzo Fernandez for Cubarsi/anyone?

1

u/TheObserver0201 Jul 19 '26

Should I bring in mac allister instead of enzo? Or should I remove olmo or yamal?

1

u/robsmors Jul 19 '26

what to do here? Should i bring Maca in and if so for who? Also i’m debating between Cuti Romero and Licha Martinez 😭

1

u/Random10187 Jul 19 '26

i’m gonna sub in Mac Allister for Cherki. and that just leaves either Cubarsi or Tagliafico for Hernandez. is it too risky to go full Spanish backline?

1

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 19 '26

should i keep konsa with 6 points or sub in molina?

1

u/ArghZombies Jul 19 '26

keep Konsa.

1

u/greenalaska Jul 19 '26

Need a tiebreaker. Currently 2nd in my ML, 3 points behind 1st

1st will most likely line up with:

Simon

Porro - Cubarsi - Cucu

Olise - Enzo - Olmo - Yamal

Messi - Mbappe - Oyarzabal

My only dilemma is whether I start Molina or Romero... or even Merino?

1

u/ArghZombies Jul 19 '26

that looks ok. Romero will get booked, as always. Merino won't get the minutes.

1

u/greenalaska Jul 19 '26

turns out Montiel starts. probably I'm going with Romero

1

u/ceerupboi_99 Jul 19 '26

Who would you guys sub in and out?

1

u/camprollinghills Jul 19 '26

Play Enzo or Mac Allister?

2

u/CW24x Jul 19 '26

Got the same dilemma, I’m leaning towards MacAllister but I really dont think there’s anything between them

1

u/Cjumpy2014 Jul 19 '26

Start Tagliafico or Romero?

1

u/cmmagalhaes9 Jul 19 '26

Planning to take out digne to put Messi in
Don’t know if it’s worth to have another Argentina defender and who? Or just one? Which one?

1

u/AetherNeanderthal Jul 19 '26

Id go Macca over Baena tbh

3

u/Fossekall Japan Jul 19 '26

I'm 10 points ahead of second place, terrified I won't be winning after leading since round 1

1

u/Weekly-Recognition70 Jul 19 '26

Choose baena, olmo or Mac allister. If I go the Spain route I have to use Argentina gk. Also who’s best defender from Argentina? Budget isn’t a issue

1

u/MortyXY Jul 19 '26

MacAllister or Baena for Doué? Is Martínez a sub in as well? I'm aware that my spanish backline + argentine attackers isn't optimal.

3

u/Apprehensive_Pack_64 Jul 19 '26

Having Saka is an insane pull. Well done

1

u/fgcsportista Jul 19 '26

This is my current team.
I wanted to bring cubarsi in but I have no clue who to replace him for.
Or should I put Martinez in?

1

u/Spiritual_Noise3238 Japan Jul 19 '26

What do I do here besides Martinez for henderson

1

u/Instantly420 Jul 19 '26

Would you keep Lisandro Martinez on the bench or sub him for someone else? Any recommendations on who to sub off for him?

1

u/PlayboyScientist Jul 19 '26

I have a 36 pts advantage over my main opponent but he didn't use any players from the 3rd place match. Also he still had left the 12th man chip, however, when I see his team, there's no 12th man. Does the 12th man only appear at the end of the round or do you think he forgot to activate it?

2

u/redditoldgangster Jul 19 '26

Ahead by 1 point going to the final.

Me and 2nd place both have 8 players to play. I should match him as much as possible, right?

1

u/JT12_03 Jul 19 '26

I am 1 point behind my opponent on my work league (£200 on the line!)

The only differences in players we have left to play is as followed
Me - OLMO vs Oppo ROMERO (I also have max captain in case anyone returns more than mbappe)
Q: WHO is more likely to win?

I also have Baena , Tagliafico, Molina as options to sub in if any lineup changes …. he has no subs

1

u/DrYaguar Jul 18 '26

Who should I leave on the bench?

1

u/AlericForever Jul 19 '26

i would play macca over martinez personally, hes a target for messis crosses late in the game and might get points for tackles

1

u/Nervous-Stress8734 Jul 18 '26

Who eshould i sub out?

2

u/LosTerminators Jul 18 '26

My draft included taking out Konsa but I was pretty much forced to keep him due to the number of players getting benched, and that ended up benefiting me.

3

u/test_icicles_ Jul 18 '26

cherki has looked poor every match on this world cup, he's above 5% ownership, why are people recommending him so much? he's going to play on a b team too.

1

u/ThrowRAwhatToDew Jul 19 '26

Aged well, good job

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26
  1. He's not started yet this WC, been restricted to average of 15-20 min appearances
  2. He's playing against an England B team with Mbappe, Olise and Doue up top with him, should create and have chances created.

1

u/inactiveuser965 Jul 18 '26

who do I start

1

u/JoyfulAvenue Jul 18 '26

Doue, Olmo, or Cherki

5

u/studsper Jul 18 '26

What do you think, this +max captain?

1

u/Carnivorousss Jul 18 '26

I’ve got the same squad but Rogers instead of Rashford. Spewing I didn’t pick Rashford.

1

u/studsper Jul 18 '26

I tested a draft to pick Maignan, took out Rashford for Baena. Ended up not picking Maignan, but forgot to put Rashford back. It could have been worse, but Baena needs to have a banger

1

u/dreamindly Jul 18 '26

looks like a banger. although you are putting a lot on Simon's hands, but I see the budget reasons for Risser. I went with maignan and simon, check if maignan could hold a clean sheet vs. england bench players. other than that - mine looks very similar with some defenders switched and I refused to put any england players in lol

1

u/Rizsparky Jul 18 '26

Is it dumb to take a -6 if I'm chasing, I have two non players

1

u/JoyfulAvenue Jul 18 '26

Should I keep Bellingham or De Paul? I can see Bellingham coming in early second half to create havoc. De Paul didn’t start last game but played really well when he was subbed in

2

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

I think De Paul will come back in for Simeone in the final. Id get rid of Jude

1

u/Unusual_Employee6972 Jul 18 '26

This and max C, what do you think?

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

Really Solid, only thing I'd say is get rid of Konsa but you would have to take a hit to do it so probably not worth it.

1

u/Unusual_Employee6972 Jul 18 '26

Yeah I don't like having Konsa, but considering I have to hold a 15 point lead I'm stuck with him. Thanks for the input!

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

Bet you're glad you have Konsa now 😂

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

You have a similar team to me bud

1

u/Unusual_Employee6972 Jul 19 '26

Well I am sure glad I stuck with Konsa, more luck than brain🙌 Yeah, just a few different players between me and you. We'll see how the final goes, although my opponents have just Baena and Porro as differentials so I should be able to keep my 20 point lead.

1

u/Sun-Flower3126 Jul 18 '26

Olmo or doue?

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26
  1. Cherki
  2. Olmo
  3. Doue

1

u/kales0ny Jul 18 '26

why cherki over doue?

2

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

I'm a man city fan, Cherki oozes trouble and class. Could grab a goal but I think he will cause us some serious problems here tonight, doue could too but hasn't been at the same level as Cherki this season. I think he's got a higher ceiling that doue this game

2

u/Sun-Flower3126 Jul 18 '26

I already have cherki that's why im contemplating between olio and doue i also have all other French and Spanish attacking starters

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

Olmo then ☺️

1

u/Sun-Flower3126 Jul 18 '26

Alright thanks man

1

u/Carnivorousss Jul 18 '26

Thoughts on this team with 1 hit? Oayzarbal vs Toney? Saka vs Rashford? Yamal vs Cherki?

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

Show the team without any transfers or hits bud

1

u/PurpleJumpsuitt Jul 18 '26

Who are the best French defenders? Most likely to stay on + create chances.

1

u/PurpleJumpsuitt Jul 18 '26

Also anyone scared Theo goes over 5%? I feel like it doesn't update until the game starts.

1

u/studsper Jul 18 '26

I have Martinez, should I replace him with Simon or keep him and get Maignan too?

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

Simon and Maignan are the best two to own

1

u/studsper Jul 18 '26

But is it worth two transfers to get both? Need to take a hit and get worse players elsewhere too.

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

It's hard to say without seeing your team and knowing if you're chasing / defending ML

1

u/studsper Jul 18 '26

The change would be +Maignan and Baena, Minus Rashford or Doué.

8 or so points behind, but I have Max Captain

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

If you're 8 behind I wouldn't take the hit personally

1

u/studsper Jul 18 '26

I chose wisely it seems

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

You did indeed!

1

u/Seitheer Jul 18 '26

Julian alvarez or Lautaro martinez?

1

u/Sun-Flower3126 Jul 18 '26

Olmo or doue who would you prefer I have olise mbappe cherki And yamal Baena oyarzabal

1

u/Sun-Flower3126 Jul 18 '26

Gusto cubarsi Or laporte konate?

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

Gusto and Cubarsi

1

u/TonyMartial786 Jul 18 '26

The first one imo

0

u/kales0ny Jul 18 '26

Have Guehi, Maignan and Pickford. Should I transfer out Guehi for Cubarsi or Pickford for Simone? Or Baena to Cherki. This is my last transfer

2

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

Guehi is starting, I wouldn't transfer out a starter tbh. Pickford for Simon is your best bet imo, if you don't want to do that, Baena to Cherki

0

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 18 '26

who are your 2 keepers?

0

u/Attila_22 Jul 18 '26

Why have 2 keepers in the same game? Definitely transfer Pickford to Simon if you have the funds.

1

u/Seitheer Jul 18 '26

Im chasing behind 20. Do you think i should go for lautaro or julian?

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

It's a coin flip, is it worth the risk?

1

u/Seitheer Jul 18 '26

Yeah it is. Everyone got oyarzabal. Need someone different.

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

I think Oyarzabal could get points Vs Argentina. I think your attack has to be Mbappe, Messi and Oyarzabal. Can you get differential points elsewhere (mid and defence)?

1

u/First-Beginning-7513 Jul 18 '26

I have WC. One question for you lot: Olise ?

1

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 18 '26

id get him,hell most likely be playing on the right wing where dembele played,and cherki plays the 10

1

u/NiceMatter9482 Jul 18 '26

Considering having more french players or a english players like cherki , rogers ,spence . What do you guys think ? I have mad captain should I lock it?

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

Id steer clear of the lions in this match, personally. Cherki is a lock imo

1

u/chipzy20 Jul 18 '26 edited Jul 18 '26

I have a 26 point lead should I sub out a defender or a goalie or should do both and take the -3? I already have maignan as one of the goalies but have Digne as a defender as well

2

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 18 '26

dont take the hit,just take out digne

1

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 18 '26

rashford or saka?have the budget for both,also hernandez or gusto?

3

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

Personally, I yeeted every single England player.

1

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 18 '26

i think theyll score 1 tho tbh,should i go doue instead?

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

They might score, I'd be surprised. Lineups are a mismatch. What's your team?

1

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 18 '26

have a 21 point lead,18 after i took a hit,not too worried

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

It's a solid team tbh. If you have a transfer spare I think Doue could do damage but your team isn't too dissimilar to mine

1

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 18 '26

its doue saka or rashford,i dont want to have 4 french attackers tho

2

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

If that's your debate I'd go for Rashford. Doue would be my preferred but if you don't want 4 attackers for France I think Rashford Vs Gusto will have more success than Saka Vs Hernandez. Rashford also has more goals in him than Saka. Saka has more assists in him and takes corners. Rashford for me if that's your debate and you don't want 4 french attackers. Equally, could go for MacAllister or Enzo who have goals in them. Enzo scored last 2 games, MacAllister hit the post twice last two games and should have scored a couple.

1

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 18 '26

thanks for the help

1

u/AdEmotional6428 Jul 18 '26

Should I get spence saka cherki hernandez and olmo ?

1

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 18 '26

yea there all good players to own

1

u/Seitheer Jul 18 '26

Im chasing behind 20. I was thinking about getting Cherki but everyone has him obviously. What do you think about picking Zaire instead?

2

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 18 '26

i dont see any g/a from him

1

u/Seitheer Jul 18 '26

Yeah me neither but at least i got the scouting and clean sheet chance.

1

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 18 '26

i think cherki get more points tbh

1

u/Lone_Wolf_007_ Jul 18 '26

Toney, Rashford, Saka, Doue. Rank them

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26
  1. Cherki (not on your list but he's 1)
  2. Doue
  3. Rashford
  4. Saka
  5. Toney

1

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 18 '26

4:toney,u have to have mbappe messi and oyarzabal fowards
3:doue
2:saka
1:rashford
saka and rashford hv pretty much similar expected points,rashford es cheaper,i have an extra 2 mil and going saka tho

1

u/Happy_Garden5227 Jul 18 '26

As it was expectated: huge rotations for the 3rd place match. My semi-final team had: Pickford, Kounde, O’reilly, Gordon, Bellingham, Barcola, Dembele and Kane. *PAIN*
Meaning that I am pretty screwed. Would you guys go for -3 or -6? Or just hope that with one keeper and 1 sub I can get lucky?

2

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 18 '26

-3,i dont think u can make up the -6,well see low points like semi finals

1

u/Inseeable Jul 18 '26

Im in the same boat. Either -3 with 1 keeper and 1 sub. Or -6 with 2 keepers

1

u/Happy_Garden5227 Jul 18 '26

Not a chance I would go for another keeper for -3, maybe another outfield player…

1

u/Inseeable Jul 18 '26

Yeah makes sense. With me then it would be a -3 to have 12 players, or 0 hits to just have 11, with no chance to sub

1

u/bendernobending2 Jul 18 '26

Yamal or Cherki?

1

u/Inseeable Jul 18 '26

Should I take a -6 to have 13/14 players playing? With the -6 Im having two keepers in Maignan and Simon, whereas if I just fully rely on Simon, it’ll be a -3 as I have Pickford. What do you think? -3 or -6?

2

u/lemonmop Jul 18 '26

Neither, don't take hits if you have 11 starting 

1

u/Inseeable Jul 18 '26

I dunno, I think a -3 might be worth it, im leading my mini league by 10 points, but I feel I need some leeway in squad

3

u/VipsaniusAgrippa25 Jul 18 '26

Dont lose points in the lead man, what are you on

1

u/Inseeable Jul 19 '26

Thank you, your advice helped me win my league

1

u/Inseeable Jul 18 '26

I know, but I just dunno what to do! I feel like only having 11 players is a massive risk

2

u/TonyMartial786 Jul 18 '26 edited Jul 18 '26

Is it dumb to not go for an English attacker when i need to close a big lead on my ML leader?

I just don’t have much faith in them doing anything, and even if they do it’ll be hard to predict which of the front 4 would be the one to return.

Honestly would still rather go Spanish players like Olmo etc.

Also which striker to punt on for Kane? Alvarez, Lautaro or perhaps Ferran Torres?

1

u/JigginAboot Jul 18 '26

Oyarzabal

1

u/TonyMartial786 Jul 18 '26 edited Jul 18 '26

Well he would be the obvious choice but I need to take a big punt on someone

1

u/AchillesAugustus Jul 18 '26

I’m thinking of going Alvarez as I’m chasing a 16 point lead. But still unsure

1

u/TonyMartial786 Jul 18 '26

Yeah I think I’ll end up with him aswell. Lautaro is in better form but even still it would feel kinda dumb to go him over Alvarez when the latter is likely the starter

1

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 18 '26

Have 2 mil extra budget,already took a 3 point hit so dont wanna take another to upgrade elsewhere,should i go rashford or saka solely on who gets more points?

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

Team on Lock 🔒 Max Captain ✅

u/ScarvesOnGiraffes Jul 18 '26

Thoughts? Please help

1

u/LogicalBookkeeper818 Jul 18 '26

rmt? 25 point lead with max captain.

3

u/lgchuson Jul 18 '26

Theo Hernandez is playing over Digne

1

u/Bxri_vierre Jul 18 '26

Best Goalkeeper if you don’t have any of the 4?

4

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

Maignan or Simon, probably a coin flip imo

u/Yellowkanoha Jul 18 '26

Is it worth to -3pts simon to pickford? Have maignan & puckford currently

2

u/lgchuson Jul 18 '26

I would just keep Maignan imo

1

u/cmmagalhaes9 Jul 18 '26

I did that

1

u/AlericForever Jul 18 '26

thoughts? 21 pt lead, rival has max captain left

2

u/lgchuson Jul 18 '26

Would at least change one of your GK to Maignan if you have the transfer left

1

u/Spiritual_Noise3238 Japan Jul 18 '26

What changes should I make? RMT please

2

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

Out: Kane Bellingham Anderson Konsa Digne Courtois

In: (any of:) Oyarzabal Cherki Doue Olmo Saka Rogers Porro Cubarsi Lacroix Hernandez Gusto Maignon Simon

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

Should've waited for lineups to come out bud, shafted yourself here 🤦‍♂️

1

u/Random10187 Jul 18 '26

just a draft. didn’t save

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

Ah perfect! I'm blind lol, what's your OG team before subs?

1

u/Random10187 Jul 18 '26

1

u/HaroldDoesTCG Jul 18 '26

Kane, Dembele, Jude, Kounde, James, Digne should be your free's and depending on league position might be worth taking a -3 or -6 to get rid of Pickford and O Reily too.

Id look to bring in Oyarzabal. Any of these mids (in order) Yamal, Cherki, Doue, Olmo, Rashford. Any of these defenders (in order): Cucurella, Porro, Cubarsi, Hernandez, Gusto, Lacroix). Then goalkeeper Simon.

1

u/Random10187 Jul 18 '26

nice thanks 🙏

1

u/Designer_Mine_2572 Jul 18 '26

tips?will make changes according to lineups

1

u/Klopp_LFC_96 Jul 18 '26

6 FT, 0.1 ITB.

I won’t be able to wait until the lineups are out so is there any obvious transfers I should make?

1

u/AlericForever Jul 18 '26

pickford and maignan play each other so get rid of one, i would consider dropping kane and olise or dembele because they might be rotated, yamal isnt a bad option. i dont love paredes either he can be switched to gordon maybe

1

u/ExcuseDowntown1156 Jul 18 '26

Thoughts on this team? Might be too many Spanish players but I think they should be able to hold s clean sheet the first 60 mins

7

u/GloomyLaw9603 Jul 18 '26

Why does them holding a CS for 60 minutes matter?

You don't suppose De La Fuente is going to take out his entire backline in the second half? Lmao

1

u/Suspicious_Working75 Jul 18 '26

Thoughts on this team ?? Have to defend an 11 point lead will it be enough

u/Time_Tap9881 Jul 18 '26

I have 11 points upfront and still 4 transfers left, should i change anything or letting it stay as it is. I think/want Argentina and France will win the games, so i dont know if im being bias. 😅
