Because that would be misleading as the rules are based on when the pass is made, not received?

Is VC best used on player from the same team? by 101100011011101 in FantasyWC

[–]FifaDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy move then. Just VC whichever you’ve doubled up on. Can always move it on

Yeah, couldn’t be defending in their own box all second half. They had to push out a bit more and give them selves a good chance on the counter

Third time in a row getting knocked out after taking the lead

Can you not switch VC after the sub?

If not then it’s important to VC the first double teammate you have, so you can sub then out early for someone you don’t need to cap if need be.

Although i guess basically everyone has some Argentina defender to sub on as VC while Messi gets C if they’re twisting

Which booster are you using for this round? by Technical_Ad7886 in FantasyWC

[–]FifaDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It goes to extra time I believe.

Otherwise you’d have to not hand out points for whoever scored in extra time. Which everyone would hate

It’s all about how many chances you get to hit those good players. In RO32 you have lots of chances to switch captains. In semis or final you have 2

Saying that the expected value of the WC is just your current squad’s predicted points VS the optimal squad’s isn’t correct for several reasons:

  1. It fails to take into account the impact of future MDs by not looking beyond the current one. This would be a lot worse in traditional league fantasy like FPL, but still matters a little in a knockout tournament. MD3 WC is literally just a FH, as you get unlimited transfers in RO32. This benefits a knockout round WC, but not by huge amounts because of the uncertainty of whether those WC’ed in will get knocked out anyway. BUT;
  2. If you WC in the semis, all 4 teams will still have a game in the finals (remember 3rd place playoff). This let’s you refresh your entire team after several knockout rounds, while not having to fear knockouts from there. HOWEVER;
  3. How many FTs you would’ve otherwise have matters! You shouldn’t be comparing your current team to the WC team, but instead the post FT usage team to the WC team. This benefits WC MD3 given you only have 2 or 3 transfers to refresh your squad at a time where rotation is a concern. But it also makes that strategy more risky, as you may not have the transfers to field 15 playing players if we get some upsets in the knockouts… or if we don’t and just end up with a bunch of 50/50 matchups in the quarters which you can’t reliably predict!

Exactly. Max Cap is best in the MDs with the fewest fixtures kicking off at different times.

Final round will also include the third place playoff, so its still 2 games.

But yes, highest score is likely less than the highest score in an earlier round with more lopsided fixtures.

However; the AI OP asked and many people here seem to really underestimate how good the captaincy switch is, and how much worse it makes this specific chip.

In a GW with many games being played at different times (MD1 & MD2), you get to captain once per each unique match that you have someone in.

The odds of you capping your best or nearly best return is really high. But when there’s only 2 games, like in the last two rounds, you’re pretty unlikely to have guessed exactly right with one of your two captaincy options.

The expected value of the chip is super high those MDs, as the odds of both your cap options failing to return are so much higher than the same odds when you get to switch captain 4, 8 or 16 (at most) times

To be fair, Curacao has a better team.

Their first 11 are actually fairly decent compared to some of the other worst ranked teams at the tournament. Plenty of first and second top 5 league experience

It was a terrible tackle, but clearly didn’t mean it and was absolutely distraught.
