Athenayama 532 Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) ATTENTION JAKUSOTSU, THIS IS NOT THE BENCH WORLD CUP ! So round 2 is over and we had many changes in the rankings. First Kimyama (who is doing just great in both fantasy games) performs the best score up to now, climbs 3 ranks and is our new leader !Asapedroryu lost the lead but is still second and improved his best score. These two are the only who broke the "100 points barrier" after round 2.Lordshamrock500 climbed 2 ranks and completes the top 3.Chishafuwaku made also a big jump (5ranks!) and is now 4th. Three Portuguese in the top 4? Portugal rules!Djodjoyoshi lost 2 ranks and is now fifth.Athenayama gained 1 rank at sixth.Jejima lost a lot this round, 5 ranks and is now seventh.THOR500 is the only who didn't move ranks! Still eighth.Pitinosato performed much better and gained one rank at tenth.Yarimotsu had a bad round and is now last. Time to bounce back?

Yarimotsu 243 Posted November 29, 2022 Well I joined for a laugh as I don't watch any league soccer, just the world cup, so I'd be surprised if I bounce back. I suppose I can at least use a powerup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asapedroryu 184 Posted November 29, 2022 Not the end of the world to lose 1st place to a Benfica player. Much worse if it was to Chishafuwaku as he seems to be a Sporting supporter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jakusotsu 5,009 Posted December 2, 2022 In order not to pollute the BWC thread any further, I'll post this very mind-boggling tidbit here: Spain needed a win by Germany to proceed, and Germany needed a win by Spain to proceed.

Athenayama 532 Posted December 2, 2022 Well, further to above post, I must say that there were a few other "strange results" today.... and that I don't like ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asapedroryu 184 Posted December 3, 2022 Looks like FIFA wants Brazil to win this one so they will get Korea and then Japan until they reach the semis, instead of Uruguay and Spain. VAR has been following the instructions correctly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athenayama 532 Posted December 3, 2022 After round 3, you'll find the standings here below. SLB WINNERS (in fact, Kimyama) keeps the lead but barely. Lordshamrockyama who improves his performance from round to round is just one point behind. The biggest fall is for Chishafuwaku who loses 5 ranks (does that make Asapedroryu happier?). Hence the other players shift up one rank. Yarimotsu gets closer to Pitinosato. Who will be last? Or will they both upset everyone else and move up ranks from now on?

Athenayama 532 Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Round 4 is over and we have a new leader. Lordshamrock500 is that one. Asapedroryu remains the most dangerous contender. Even if there are still 3 rounds remaining, the most logical thing is that the winner will be one of these two. Athenayama is up one rankwhile the biggest fall is SLB WINNERS (-3). Jejima (+4) tries a come back at least to be part of the top 3. I actually won't go in details as per each round performance as the site doesn't give me access to the other players data per day and it seems that totals have been updated. The overall totals are correct though. Quarterfinals will be crucial. See you then! Edited on December 8th. Figures are now all correct thanks to Asapedroryu!

Asapedroryu 184 Posted December 8, 2022 You can see how many points each player scored per matchday on the leaderboard table. https://play.fifa.com/fantasy-classic/leagues/27935/table You have a droplist below "Matchday" that by default shows All, but then you can filter it per match day. So far, there is a 3 way tie for the biggest score. SLB WINNERS did 69 points on matchday 2 and Athenayama and Lordshamrock500 also 69 in the Round of 16. Agree that the site is not that great and is difficult and even impossible to see some stats of your own team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athenayama 532 Posted December 11, 2022 The Quarterfinls are in the books and in our fantasy things are clearer. Only 2 rounds remaining and it should be very difficult to catch up with Lordshamrock500 if he plays seriously. Asapedroryu still has an extremely slight chance. chishafuwaku gains 2 ranks and is now 9th while THOR500 and Bulldogsama lose 1 each. Pitinosato achieves something I've never seen so far in a fantasy which is a negative score. Of course, he stopped playing a while ago but still...

Athenayama 532 Posted December 15, 2022 After the semifinals we have no change in the lead. Asapedroryu performs the best score of the round and gets a little closer but will it be enough to cacth Lordshamrock500 after the final? Not impossible but very difficult. Transfers will be crucial for both players. Bulldogsama with a best personal score (+3), Djodjoyoshi (-1) and Chishafuwaku (-2) are the movers this round.

Asapedroryu 184 Posted December 17, 2022 Interesting move from Lordshamrock. Looks like he is betting on the "camel virus" (this is what the portuguese and spanish media have been calling it) to affect all the France team. But now he might even end in 3rd place in case France wins and Argentina fails to score a goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't talk to him but I suspect his move to be superstitious above all. As a French he hopes France to win and if they lose well, at least he would have won the fantasy!

Athenayama 532 Posted December 18, 2022 Final results will be announced tomorrow and there even might be an update afterwards as the FIFA site has the habit to change the scores 24 or even 48 hours later.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athenayama 532 Posted December 19, 2022 Final standings ! So here we go. As I stated previously these results might be updated later but considering that there were only the 2 finals to count I believe that the scores should be final at this point. As we saw an incredible World Cup 2022 with many upsets, so our fantasy could only be the scene for something similar... Lordshamrock500 had a big advantage before the finals and needed only to handle it wisely. Instead of that, as Asapedroyu stated it, he took some unnecessary risks to me as living Mbappe out of his roster (the more obvious example, let's not go into more details). As a result the big upset happened and Asapedroryu is our final winner ! Some other minor changes in the rankings as Djodjoyoshi "stole" the 6th place to Bulldogsama on the finish line. Also Chishafuwaku gained one rank sending THOR500 to #9. Thanks everyone who participated and we hope to see you paly again at the next EURO in 2024 with even more players. Once again congrats to our winner ASAPEDRORYU !
