World Cup fantasy Football – FFGeek team updates for Sunday 24 June
Here’s the games being played today:
Days and times in UK time:
1:00 PM Sunday, June 24 England vs Panama
4:00 PM Sunday, June 24 Japan vs Senegal
7:00 PM Sunday, June 24 Poland vs Colombia
McDonalds
Total points 96. Overall rank 167k no Wildcard or Chips used
A good return from Lukaku but nothing from Muller
Todays changes
You need to make captain changes and substitutions before the first game kicks off at 1pm
I’m sticking with Suarez as my captain so no change there
Honda of Japan and Sabaly of Senegal are playing today so they are substituted for Onazi and Hegazy.
Make sure you do your captain change and substitutions in the ROUND 2 tab not the Round 3 tab which is easy to get wrong
If you’re looking for stats on potential players for today here are my key articles. Remember though they were done prior to the tournament so you need to see at the very least that they played in Round 1 before you pick anyone
Here’s the team for today:
Sun Dream Team
Total points 132 Overall Rank 134k transfers used 9 out of 20
Again backwards in rank despite having Lukaku.
Firstly here’s a link to my timeline article so you can see the order of teams playing in the Group stages. That may effect your transfer decisions
In retrospect you can transfer a player for a game after the first 1 in a match day as long as the player out’s team hasn’t played on the matchday and the player in’s team hasn’t played on the match day. Here’s the rules which I think I interpreted incorrectly at first. The Sun Live chat have verified it as did some other managers who have used it so it seems safe
An eligible transfer will take immediate effect and will occur if you transfer a Player out for another Player where neither the outgoing Player’s Country nor the incoming Player’s Country have played during that Match Day.

Transfers
Lukaku out for Kane and Pickford in for Courtois. That will leave me with 9 transfers. The only transfer I’m planning for round 3 is to bring Neymar back which will leave me with 8 for the knockouts
I will at least tweet any transfers probably around 12pm UK time
Here’s the team as of today with yesterdays points.
Telegraph fantasy football
The standard team: Total points 159 Overall Rank 17.6k transfers used 15 out of 26 in Group stage
The Def Block team: Total points 181 Overall Rank 7.3k transfers used 23 out of 26 in Group stage
As I said above, here’s a link to my timeline article so you can see the order of teams playing in the Group stages. That may effect your transfer decisions
In the telegraph you definitely can make transfers between matches.
the standard team
1 transfers today. Lukaku out for Kane
Here’s the team as it stands. I will at least tweet transfers probably around 12pm UK time
the defensive block team
With only 3 transfers left the block has peaked and it’s all down hill from here. Spains last game is against Morocco so it’s still a good clean sheet prospect. They will need to play their full team with them and Portugal on the same points.
1 transfer today Griezmann out for Kane
Here’s the team as it stands. I will at least tweet transfers probably around 12pm UK time
