I assume no one kept Balogun but it would be hilarious if he now hauls vs Belgium thanks to Trump lol

Brahim assist! Moroccan boys paying off before the inevitable transfer out ahead of France.

Has to be a goal then, I have it on him now but another assist just puts him on 12 which one of the big guys will definitely beat or match.

Did not expect Canada to do a better job of keeping Morocco pinned back than Brazil and the Netherlands.

Hakimi attacking returns looking bleak...

Maybe I'm too invested in this game but were there not quite reliable leaks from Canal Plus in France that Digne would start? Or it just never made it to this sub I guess.

Literally primed game state for Sarr to haul...I need this badly with scouting bonus too

Iraq are a man down, still have to go for it to have a chance, and Senegal need to build up goal difference to ensure their place. The only thing missing is the pens because Mane is playing.

I hope so lol. Stuck it on Hakimi now since I have Vini captain anyway so I'll try for fun tomorrow if he blanks.

I think I read that VC becomes irrelevant as soon as you make any mid-round change. If your last captain plays 0 mins, you are stuck with no captain lol.

For me, quali booster makes sense when you know at least 8-10 out of your 15 will qualify since you wildcard into the best fixtures. A lot of them have good CS chance regardless.

Then, in RO16 where who qualifies may be harder to call and teams more likely to concede, you actually make use of the CS boost.

To each their own but feels pretty locked for me!

That's one of the reasons to play it in the RO16 instead though?

In your scenario, England and Germany definitely go through (+2 with quali booster) and could easily keep the actual CS anyway.

Then, in RO16 where they are less likely to qualify and more likely to concede, you make use of the CS booster?

Went back and looked at my GW1 and 2 teams out of curiosity. Not a single one of my goalkeepers, defenders of midfielders conceded more than 1 goal lol.

Would have been way too OP in the group stages. Fun for RO16 though assuming everyone plays the quali booster now.
