    Mine is set. Im having a problem with my defense. I Dont want to spend too much back their but want a solid core to hopefully get some clean sheets.

    Is the theory to buy low and hope to raise some cash for transfers? First time trying this and I pretty much used my entire stack which I can't tell if that was a good idea or not.

    Re: TMB ESPN World Cup Fantasy League

    I had $0 leftover as well. Since this is a short tournament I wouldnt worry about transfers that much pretty much set a team that should be good for the group stage. You get 12 transfers for the 3 games.

    After the group stage it should get interesting. There are places where you can save money and still get starters on good teams, you just have to know where to do it.

    I plan on using as many of my transfers as possible, especially for defenders, to take advantage of matchups.

    Throw me a bone on formations here, since D is way cheaper, do they score less points? 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 seems most profit if true.

    Re: TMB ESPN World Cup Fantasy League

    i like a 4-4-2 because im a sucker for clean sheets and forwards are too unreliable even though they can net a lot of points

    Re: TMB ESPN World Cup Fantasy League

    D gets points for clean sheets and more points if they score a goal. If your D has a bad game though than you can get negative points.

    Look at the scoring in the rules section that should help.

    4-3-3 baby. More forwards more goals....

    Yea if you get a "scoring" defender is better. Also clean sheets are crucial for defenders and the GK.

    Came up with a strategy that I hope works when it comes to my defense. Also in fantasy I am all about attacking, so I run a 3-4-3 thats very attack minded.

    My new team is what I plan on keeping unless I find out a couple players im not sure about will start for their team.


    3- Dutch
    2- Portugal, Serbs, Chile
    1- Italy, England, Argentina, :americafuckyeah: , Brazil, Slovakia

    Want more Germans but have no idea what their lineup is gonna look like and they have got hit with a lot of injuries, so not sure how they gonna look.

    France sucks bad

    Argentina I want more of them but cant pick more since they have the worst coach ever

    Will probably make a couple changes after the first game week, when teams finally let us know who they are starting.

    Or fuck it, I'll pick it up for the hell of it on one condition, one of you guys steps up and buys me one if I happen to win.

    SO ...

    Winner gets a jersey, no name or number, just the $70 basic one provided by me and someone steps up and says they will get me one if I win.

    Deal?

    I just spent about an hour setting up/strategizing my team. I think I have it exactly the way I want it.

    I have never done fantasy soccer, so I'm hoping I have the right distribution of where points will come from.

    Re: TMB ESPN World Cup Fantasy League(last call to join and make a team)

    Finalized my team. I will be running a 3-4-3 and as long as one player starts(90% sure he does) my team should be good.

    I have 3 Dutch, so Wicket I am blaming you if they suck.
