    It's a bit different to the premier league one most are used to, in that you can make subs within the game round at the end of each day, meaning you get a second bite at the cherry if someone is shit. So not best practice packing your bench with 4.0 valued Panamanians.

    If I recall from 2010 this one is so much hassle to manage with the subs and the changing limits, and the points system is a bit of a farce. Do players still get points for ‘entering the box with the ball’?

    How many points do you get? That seems an oddly strong team compared to what you get on the Premier League one.

    I don't think it is. The format means you want all of your 15 to be starters really, and 6 of those aren't likely to start.

    Its surprisingly hard. I’ve sodded off defence and sub-goalie and hope to have gone points-heavy from the front seven.

    There are lots of good value defenders, as well as a cheat goalie. See if you can find him.

    Rodriguez, Matuidi, Jones, and the 3 outfield subs. Giroud isn't nailed on either.

    That's one way to play. The Euro 2016 game was the same and I went with 3 shitters on the bench and one slightly better sub and I finished 600th in the world.

    If you dilute your squad too much you miss out on the decent captaincy options and having 3 or 4 good captaincy options is far better than having a couple of players on your bench you can swap around.

    Key is finding the decent 4.0 and 4.5 options.

    Not really sure I have the energy for this but I'll probably sign up on Wednesday.

    I think I've found the cheat goalkeeper. Superb bench fodder.

    OK I did a team. How the fuck are you meant to have a team in the latter stages though? You can't field a team of only Frenchies and Germans or whatever even if you pick the cheapest ones.

    You get unlimited transfers between the group stage and ro16, as well as an extra 5m.

    I'm no longer of the age where I can be bothered to research who is likely to start for each team. I'm out.

    I've decided Messi captain is the only way to go, mainly because the three teams in his group should on paper have no idea how to stop him.

    Otherwise just loaded up with talismanic creators and picked cheap defenders from the duller groups.

    I also picked a few Argentines because their group seems wank. Not Messi though, because he doesn't have the BOTTLE.

    I didn’t realise you could redo your team after the groups, and I can’t be arsed to change it anymore, so my team should be good til the quarters at least.

    Goal and two assists for Golovin.

    Think he'll stay as my captain this week.

    I don’t understand the gameweeks. After Uruguay played I triple-captained Suarez cos he had Saudi Arabia next game but I’m not sure if I got triple zero cos he didn’t play on the Saturday? Can’t seem to log in to check atm.

    Is there such a thing as triple captain? I thought that max captain thing just makes your best scorer captain in the gameweek.

    This doesn't really work when they have the phases changing within a day. I think Big Rom was about the only thing that really came off for me in the first week.

    Used my wildcard to get in players from nations that haven't secured qualification.

    The players I brought in for the first set of games (Gazkinsky, Costa, Cedric and Guerreiro) scored a total of 4 points between them.

    However, Golovin and Sanchez (2 of those taken out) scored 0. The only one who did anything that was subbed out was Cavani.

    Yeah, unlimited transfers before tomorrow's first game. And then another wildcard to play whenever you want. Easy mode.
