Fantasy FIFA: Week 1
Rules:
1. You MUST submit your picks by 6PM UK time. No exceptions.
2. Include the player, how many, and sell time when making selections.
3. You cannot go over the weekly budget. If you do, your picks will not be valid.
4. You may only submit selections once; to enforce this, include your Xbox/PS/PC username in the comment OR message me on Twitter if you don’t want others to know your information.
5. For this week, we will not have a prize as I am unsure of the fairness of the system. However, if all goes smoothly, expect a $10 gift card for FIFA points to the winner in the coming weeks.
6. All player prices are based on Xbox.
7. Sell times are for a general time frame rather than a specific hour. This prevents participants from buying up/listing up the market and rig the competition.
Budget:
500,000 Coins
Choices:
| Player | Price | Sell Time (UK) | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robert Lewandowski | 290,000 | Wednesday before TOTW OR Friday for WL | Had 3 goals against Armenia and will likely make it into TOTW 4 |
| Nicolas Otamendi | 2,900 | Friday before POTM OR Friday after POTM | Might be required for an Aguero POTM SBC |
| Vincent Kompany | 19,000 | Friday before POTM OR Friday after POTM | Cheap 85 rated PL player, might be required for Aguero SBC |
| Jan Vertonghen | 22,000 | Friday before POTM OR Friday after POTM | Cheap 85 rated PL, might be required for Kane SBC |
| Cesc Fabregas | 25,000 | Friday before POTM OR Friday after POTM | Cheap 86 rated PL, might be required for POTM SBC |
| OTW James Rodriguez | 187,000 | Saturday before match OR Saturday after match | Favorable matchup vs. Freiburg this week |
| OTW Tolisso | 90,000 | Saturday before match OR Saturday after match | Favorable matchup vs. Freiburg this week |
| OTW Salah | 310,000 | Saturday before match OR Saturday after match | Big fixture vs. Man U that should get a lot of hype, and might get TOTW |
| IF Meunier | 58,000 | Friday for WL | Best RB for Belgium/Ligue with solid stats and will be going out of packs. |
| IF Patricio | 18,000 | Friday for WL | Cheap, high rated IF and will be going out of packs. |
OTW Bernadeschi – 45 000 – Sell: Monday before ITA-ALB game, or Wed before TOTW. Reason: Shaarawy and Candreva are out with minor injuries and Albania should be an easy game for ITA. Sell either on hype or if he actually has a good game. Pulisic 850 (x20 = 17 000) – Sell: Wed before TOTW. Reason: An assist and a goal in a good game for the US. One of the rare US players in europe. Look to sell on wed for up double price. Robert Lewandowski – 290 000 – Same time same reason, the most lock for TOTW. OTW Sigurdsson – 49 000 – Sell – Wed before TOTW, or Next Wed before TOTW. Reason: Sigurdsson is a key figure in Iceland’s and Evertons games, and he has 2 promising fixtures coming up. Sell on hype. Thiago / Isco – 60 000, Sell: Wed before TOTW, Reason: I’m undecided between which one i’d finally pick, If you can, watch the Spain-Israel game and buy during the game. Either way, Thiago is a safe long-term investment too, he is sure to be getting IF’s with bayern this year. Now that I’d technically sell most my players by wednesday,… Read more »
I might have been a bit unclear with how this works. You can only choose players from the list.
Example:
1 Lewandowski – 290,000 – sell Friday for WL
2 IF Meunier – 116,000 – sell Friday for WL
4 IF Patricio – 72,000 – sell Friday for WL
1 Vertonghen – 22,000 – sell Friday after POTM
You don’t have to actually invest in these players; this competition is just a hypothetical week-by-week investing scenario to see who can do the most with the allotted budget.
Alright, will get it right next week then!
If I can correct my picks they are as follows:
1 Lewandowski – 290 – Sell Friday for WL
1 OTW James – Sell sat AFTER match
1 Verthongen – Sell fri for WL
470K PRE INVESTMENTS
I’ve bought:
1 James – 170k
2 Bernadeschi’s – 1 46k 1 44.5k
1 Meunier – 50k
1 Rui Patricio – 16,750k
2 Vertonghen’s – 22k and 21.5
13 Otamendi’s – All 2.6k and under
15 Pulisic’s – All 800
Currently have 55k, anything else I should invest in? Or any sniping methods?

Okay,
1 James – 170k – Sell BEFORE match
1 Meunier – 50k – Sell Friday
1 Patricio – 16,750 – Sell Friday
2 Vertonghen – 42k – Sell before POTM
13 Otamendi – 32.5k – Sell before POTM
Is this correct?
Xbox: Its Kagawa
Almost, except the price you buy for is set by me based on what their average price is on Sunday following Squad Battle Rewards. Otherwise, people could fabricate what price they really got their player at.
1 Lewandowski – Sell Friday
60 Otamendi – Sell Friday AFTER POTM
Damn. I totally forgot about this….. Will be looking forward to it next week.
Maybe next week 🙁
