Stocke Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Already got a ready-made replacement for Salah in the form of Roberto Firmino which is nice, but I'll take Nathan Redmond to add a bit of pace to the front line edit: didn't realize I could protect players, I'd like to ask why is Hamšík not in the squad, has he retired from international play and you just didn't note it? If he's not retired I'll protect him, but if he is I'll protect Kessié instead; in addition, if I'm allowed to protect Firmino yet (since he's ineligible for the rest of the World Cup) I'll protect him, but if I'm not allowed to I'll protect Ramadan Sobhi instead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stocke Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Really nice to see Egypt finish on top of the group especially since they were drawn with Brazil, respectable performance against Italy too by only losing 1-0 in extra time Not too familiar with any of the Japanese players but I'll take Takuma Asano, given that the Egypt manager seems to be playing a three-striker formation it can't hurt to get in more young-ish forwards from big clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vossmaj Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 World Cup: Losing to the World Champion (to be) Uruguay wasn't the Problem (even if 0-5 is a bit heavy) but drawing against Jamaica broke our neck. Colombia already was a beast (though switching Falcao with Hintereggger didn't help, haha) but now beating Argentina... I see the strong getting even stronger.

Weiry Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Seems like there is two very good nations in Colombia and Belgium and then a few good behind them. I would say India, Kosovo, Bulgaria and Iceland may struggle to ever get going but with the nations league for the last 3 who knows if they can all dominate their leagues I am sure they could get some decent pickups from similar strength nations. India have qualified for the 2019 Asians Cup which is quite good for them (have only done it 3 times irl) Switzerland are quite lucky with drawing Germany in their group (only can lose players to France now) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe. Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I must admit, I thought I was gonna win it with Colombia - In South America I'm lucky to have had a couple of wins against the bigger teams. I've got a great squad now, just need to cling onto my players and build for the next tournament! The temptation to steal Messi or Dybala from Argentina is there but my forward line is really quite strong anyway (Neymar, James, Morata, Borja, Martinez, Depay). My back 4 could do with a bit more authority, but they're young so in 4 years time they'll hopefully be pretty awesome. I was gonna ask to switch countries after the World Cup, but after losing in the final I can't just leave it.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
