I think this is the way to go. From my reading of the rules you can't change lineups between gamedays and arent given any transfers during the group stage. I'd go heavy on Brazil, Argentina and France.

I'm going to forget about mine as soon as the World Cup starts and let my cool team just accumulate points, so transfers are kinda useless to me anyway. Hopefully a slightly better squad will work in my favor that way.

Ewan is tired of his reputation as a serious Simon. I'm more of a jokester than you people think. My real name isn't even Ewan, that was a joke it's actually MARTIN! LOL fooled you again, it really is Ewan! Look at that monkey with a big nose, Ewan is so random! XD
The rules on subs seem a bit ambiguous.

As far as I can tell, you can sub as many players as you like during the game rounds, as long as the outgoing player has played and the incoming player hasn't played. What is not stated, and important for me, is whether you can change formation in the course of these substitutions.

I have like one at each position so I can play the matchups a little and also if someone gets injured since you can't make any transfers during the group stages

Can your subs get points? I just bought good players and then let the site auto-complete with scrubs.

I'm also basically relying on like 6 all-stars and about 5 players that I thought should have been worth more points. The rest are just randos worth 1 pt who won't even play.

My sister picked a roster with actual depth, and maybe that'll work out for her?

Also lol at anyone selecting Ronaldo. It would be acceptable if he had 2 healthy knees, wasn't in the group of death, and wasn't on Portugal. Waste of 10 points IMO.

Pro-hint: Eden Hazard is valued at 8 pts and Belgium is facing Algeria, Russia and Korea in the group stage.

I didn't read the rules or anything, but I think midfielders gain points if they provide assists etc? At least that's how it works in other fantasy things I'm in.

Ahahah, the scoring rules say that midfielders literally get one point every single time they recover a ball

Like are we supposed to cram our teams with defensive midfielders and bag 400 points per round or what is even going on

They have a much stricter definition of recovered balls. Some dude on Fantasy Football scout looked at the stats from the last WC and the highest any player averaged was ~3.5 RBs a game, and that was a defender.
