⚽ World Cup Fantasy — Round 1 ● IN PROGRESS
Team: Ai · We Are The Champions · Round 1 locked · 17 pts so far · © Haaland (v Iraq, Wed 17 — yet to play) + Robertson 9 + Wirtz 5 + Çalhanoğlu 2 + Raum 1 · 5th / 7 · Updated 15 June 08:15 (Bangkok)
Live Points — per-player (refreshed 15 June 08:15 Bangkok)
Read (8:15am) — pulled straight from your logged-in FIFA page. Confirmed: Round 1 17 pts, league rank 5/7. Your captain is Haaland, whose Norway play Iraq on Wed 17 — so your doubled card is still to come. Locked so far: Robertson 9 (Scotland clean sheet), Wirtz 5 (GER 7–1), Çalhanoğlu 2, Raum 1. The sting: benched Havertz hauled 13 from two goals. The big German captains lifted rivals: Sem 52 (© Schlotterbeck 22), Keng 48 (© Havertz 26), Nam 42 (© Jiménez 20) lead. Still to come for you: Cucurella, Olmo, Oyarzabal (Spain, tonight), Nuno Mendes & Bruno Fernandes (Thu), Nyland & Haaland (Wed).
Status — 15 June 2026, 08:15 (Bangkok): Round 1 in progress. You sit on 17 pts, 5th of 7. Your captaincy is on Haaland, who hasn't played yet (Norway v Iraq, Wed 17) — so your biggest card is still live. The early returns came from Robertson 9 and Wirtz 5; benched Havertz hauled 13. Seven of your players are still to play — three Spaniards tonight, plus your Portugal & Norway blocks midweek including captain Haaland — so there's real room to climb.
Starting XI — tap any player for the intel behind the pick
Bench (auto-sub order) — Havertz dropped to bench this round; strong rotation cover & differentials
Note: the code on each card is the fixture (home v away), so nationality isn't always the first code — e.g. Haaland shows IRQ/NOR because Norway play Iraq.
Why these picks — recent form (last ~4 months) & fixtures
Differentials & the scouting bonus
Players under 5% ownership who score 4+ points earn a +2 scouting bonus. This squad packs several: Dani Olmo (~3%), Çalhanoğlu (~3%), James Rodríguez (~4%), David Raum (~5%), Nyland (~3%). That's a lot of cheap upside alongside the premiums.
Who we faded (and why)
Tougher openers
Mbappé / Dembélé (France v Senegal) and Messi / Álvarez (Argentina v Algeria) are heavily owned but have the toughest premium openers — experts advise not going 3-deep on either at full price.
Form / value flags
Kane, Gyökeres, Gakpo projected poorly vs price for MD1. Vinícius Jr ranks low (~#200) and Brazil is injury-hit (Rodrygo, Militão, Estêvão out; Neymar a doubt vs Morocco).
Heads-up for the rest of Round 1 & ahead of Round 2
- Havertz benched this round — you correctly held him out (Arsenal Champions League-final fatigue). Re-assess his minutes/role before Round 2.
- Lamine Yamal — injury doubt for Spain; that's exactly why Olmo is in over him. Worth tracking for Round 2.
- Round 1 is locked — you can no longer change this XI. Substitutions only swap in bench players who haven't yet kicked off, so leave earliest-playing starters in.
- Round 2 transfers are open (deadline ~19 June). Watch confirmed line-ups, injuries and any rotation before then — this dashboard will do a full rebuild when that deadline comes within ~36h.
Game rules & transfer schedule — from FPL TIGER (ลุงเสือ)
Squad & budget
$100m to pick 15 players: 2 GK, 5 DEF, 5 MID, 3 FWD. Player prices range $3.5m–$10.5m and are fixed — they never rise or fall, so there's no price-change pressure on transfers.
Substitutions within a round
Each round's matches are spread across several days. If an early-playing pick scores poorly you can still adjust your bench, but subs must be players who haven't played yet. Tip: start the players whose matches kick off earliest.
Transfers come in 8 windows. Before the Group Stage starts and again before the Round of 32 transfers are unlimited (a free reset); other rounds give a limited number of free transfers (≈2 in later group rounds, ≈4 in the knockouts). Each extra transfer beyond the limit costs −3 points. Budget rises to $105m from the knockout stage. (Exact counts/dates per the FPL TIGER infographic — confirm in-game.)
