The Changes since the last article
Here’s the link to my last article which was my 2nd draft
I’ve made 2 changes since that 2nd draft
Williams OUT and Baena IN
Williams has been an injury doubt and Baena played the last friendly over Olmo. I’ve wanted 3 players from Spain so decided to roll the dice and hope he’s selected. If not he can be subbed out. He’s 64% to score or assist according to 1 bookie in Rd 1 v Cape Verde
Mbappe OUT and Haaland IN
My intention is to flip Haaland to Mbappe in RD 2 when the ease of fixtures reverses.
I could have 12th Man Haaland and kept Mbappe but Kane looks a good option for 12th man in RD 2 so I’ve decided to go for the flip
The Team
So here it is shown by price. I incredibly have $2.8m in the Bank. There will be plenty of ways to use that in Rd 2

Good luck everyone
By % owned
You can see Rangel, Upemecano, Galindez and Mojica are all close to 5%
By date
Chip strategy
I am definitely going to use the 12th man likely for Kane v Ghana in Rd 2 but Dembele v Iraq or Yamal if starting v Saudi Arabia are also options
I will wildcard in Rd 3
As for the max captain. I have been thinking seriously about Rd 1 as I know I’ll be quite conservative in rolling the captain. However I’m going to tough it out for the semi’s or finals when there’s less rolling opportunities
Some Odds Tables
They are in decimal not % as most do
To win odds for selected teams
Clean sheet odds selected teams
Anytime goalscorer odds
I had hope to score or assist odds would be out for all the key teams by now but they haven’t. We just have to go with anytime goalscorer odds. Gemini predicted those for round 2 as these aren’t available
Again they are in decimal form
