    I agree.

    Need some big game from Spain defenders and Mueller and Oezil

    Had Casillas captained for this game... hoping I get mad points from him.

    For me, that Casillas PK:

    Casillas: +4 for a clean sheet, no -1 for goal conceded, +3 for PK save
    Ramos: +4 for clean sheet, no -1 for goal conceded
    Capdavila: +4 for clean sheet, no -1 for goal conceded
    Pique (C): +8 for clean sheet, no -2 for goal conceded

    So 28 point swing.

    Pique got a yellow card I thought, isn't that negative points? He's on my team too.

    Everyone must have had Spaniards on their team because I just dropped a ton in the standings despite just getting 22 points from Casillas (C), Pique, and Iniesta.

    No clean sheet for 3 players and I dropped Diego cause I figured it would be hypocritical when I was going for a clean sheet. :facepalm:

    Got 23 points among Sneijder (C), Van Bommel, Heitinga, Van Persie, and Kuyt. Not as good as I expected. Also I stuck with Forlan because I knew if anyone from Uruguay would score it'd be him. Was right again.

    idk how many transfers but per there is a different game week for the finals, so are we sure there are no more transactoins? i prob shouldn''t have been so dutch heavy, but with the totaal voetball, it should be ok.

    For some reason I didn't think the Final gameweek would include the third place match, but then again I'm not sure why I thought this. So I just got rid of most of my German players and still have Forlan because I ran out of transfers. My team is basically all Dutch and Spanish besides Forlan (couldn't afford another striker) and Mertesacker because I believe Deutschland will stone-wall Uruguay anyway. Heitinga is a bigger liability than Mertesacker IMO.

    Me either. Im gonna use a transfer on Fernando Torres put him as captain and hope by some miracle he plays and scores multiple goals. He is the only guy left that I can think of that im sure nobody has.

    Captaining a defender who I doubt anyone else has starting. Hopefully he scores two goals giving me an amazing 40 points and giving me a chance.

    I don't have a chance because I used all my transfers and got rid of most of my German players. For some reason I thought they would just include the World Cup final in this last week and didn't think they'd count the third place match. God damnit I wish I had kept most of my German players..
