Since there's just the three of us - throwing my team out there for comment. My gut feeling is that it could be quite a high scoring tournament as many are going with Pep's 3 at the back/sweeper keeper approach; as many don't have his tactical nous, that means some leaky defences for me. The trouble is that the game doesn't really lend itself towards rewarding goals, more for clean sheets across GK, defenders & midfielders, so picking out tight defences with a few attacking bonus points seems the way to go for me. As such I'm going likely with a 5-4-1 line up, and taking a gamble on the golden boot winner:
GK: Lloris
DF: Kolarov, Kimmich, Rojo, Coates, Meunier
MF: Isco, Rodriguez, Hazard, Mueller, Countinho
ST: Griezmann, Diaz, Chaaleli
€100m on the nose.
The next questions to tackle are when to use the Maximum Captain & Bench Boost chips; my take:
Bench Boost: Round 1 - I think this chip must be used in the group stages, as later on you need to transfer in only players remaining in the tournament, and that gets more and more difficult in the later rounds to get a full bench boost where you're probably still hanging on to some Tunisia & Panama bench warmers so you can accommodate the big hitters.
Maximum Captain: Round 3 - last group stage games & thus there will be hopefully a couple of 'dead rubbers' where a top end player can exploit the fact a poor quality side is already out & couldn't really give a monkeys beyond pride.
Also worth bearing in mind that you can hot-sub players in this game, it isn't like the FPL, so best to put your guys playing the early games in your line up - see how they play, and if rubbish, then sub them out & take a punt your sub will bring home the bacon.
Any other tips/ideas for the K440 mighty 3?
