Hmm Spite, I'm not that knowledgable at all either really. Just going with my gut and players that I like/know are good. Had a quick look at the groups and Belgium look to have a nice group.

Maybe choose the most selected players as they are generally solid but I don't know. That's all I can say really man.

Loris or Courtois seem the popular choices in goals.

Guys like Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo, Lukaku & Sturridge up front are popular.

Midfield picks seem like: Hazard, Gerrard, Pogba, Oscar, Vidal, Gotze, Schwenisteger

Then up back, Ramos, Alves, Kompany, Zabaleta, Marcelo and some more.

Hope that helps, I really just named players that seem like good picks/popular picks it looks.

Thanks for the tips, I did some research and all those names popped up :p
I also learned that Neymar may miss the opener and Toure (or youre I forgot what he is called) may also miss the first game.

When I was reading the rules it said that your starting team can not exceed 2.7 million dollars. Is this a typo or are you meant to spend a lot of money on bench players? Unless you all have 2.7 million dollars to spend because I have 3 mill :p

Where did you see this mate? Do you have any links?

Does anyone know if we get to see likely line-ups prior to the game or do we have to wait X minutes before each game starts?

Cheering for Straya...though I think they will be fodder for "goal difference"

The Cup Holders, 4th in the betting @ $7.50 cannot be classified as a 'roughy'.  ::)

You are a funny man.

Go to www.yaya-toure.com for them saying toure is in doubt for the opener. The neymar one I can't find again but it was a link someone posted on fantasyfootballscout.co.uk

Also if someone could explain to me about the $2.7 million rule that would be great :) (just check above on my previous post for the question, on my phone so hard to quote now that I've already started this message)

According to the herald sun, neymar pulled up fine from a rolled ankle at training so there ya go :)
