Todays changes
You need to make captain changes and substitutions before the first game kicks off at 1pm
Just a captain change today with Suarez taking the armband off Trezeguet of Egypt
No Substitutions today as no one from the bench is playing
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
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 I think 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. I have put a tweet and facebook post out to see if anyone can verify it. The Sun Live chat have verified it so it seems fairly 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
I’m testing out the theory above by doing 3 transfers today
Lukaku out for Ronaldo 12pm UK time transfer
Hernandez out for Ramos 6pm UK time transfer
Messi out for Diego Costa (I’m not 100 % on this transfer and it assumes he starts) 6pm UK time transfer
Here’s the team as it is now prior to any transfers. I will at least tweet any transfers
Telegraph fantasy football
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
4 transfers planned today:
Ronaldo for Lukaku 12pm UK time transfer
Godin or cheaper for Mina 3pm UK time transfer
Alba or Ramos for Meunier 6pm UK time transfer
Costa (a maybe) for Griezmann 6pm UK time transfer
Here’s the team as it stands:
the defensive block team
At least 8 transfers planned today. The Uruguay defensive block and then replaced by the Spain defensive block
I may also do Griezmann and/or Lukaku out for Suarez/Cavani and Ronaldo
