🚨 NEW VIDEO IS LIVE! 🚨 World Cup Fantasy has got me back posting on YouTube! 🥳 So much so that I apparently ended up making an hour-long video 😂 Covered in the video: 🗓️ Chip strategy & planning 🔥 My first draft explained 😬 Players that scare me 💎 Differentials I am considering I’d love to know if you rate my team as much as I do because I honestly think I might have something pretty solid here haha 📽️ youtu.be/3bCBFyIlLmI

@MGchels11 Yeaaah good point I forget new players coming in will drag % down 🤞😂

@FPL_Impulse Alot of casuals won’t have account and a team before next Wednesday 😂

From 0.5%- over 2% ownership in a few days Doubt we will have any under 5% players that will start for the big nations 😔

@Champ_Fener1907 Yeah that's true tbf although I may have to stick with him for MD2 but wouldn't bother me too much

@FPL_Impulse I think he might get scouting bonus regardless of the content creators including him One positive with him is that, realistically you only need him under 5% for MD1 He is so cheap that I don't even have to use all the budget and can leave some itb for a straight upgrade in MD2

How confident are we that Karl definitely starts for Germany? Don't think he'll stay at under 5% but honestly don't care given his price and his opening fixture

@saidrosyadi Good point haha, weighing up wether it's worth picking him in my team

@FPL_Impulse He will, but 65 min maximum. JuNa will give his love Sane some minutes

@HansiHitler Turn! Reckon he 100% plays both games?

@FPL_Impulse douglas santos is cheaper and will stay on scouting bonus

@Champ_Fener1907 Yeah I'm also hoping he is a certain pick because he's helped improve my overall squad massively Only because he's being talked about more and more by the bigger content creators and seen him go up almost 2% already 😬

@FPL_Impulse I have been including him in quite a lot of my latest drafts tbh Makes including the likes of Yamal etc much easier. Even leaves budget in the bank for an upgrade in MD2 Why do you think he wouldn't stay under 5% though? Unless he scores a few in the next friendly vs USA

@FPLV1PER Same! Think it's why I'm desperate for him to be a starter 😂

@FPL_Impulse i think hes best enabler for me to get yamal, haaland, mbappe , cucu and mendes 🤣🤣

@jimiam87 No shit

@FPL_Impulse I don't think it was designed for picking likely starters from the big nations tbh.

@FPLV1PER I think I'd take that for that price tbf

@FPL_Impulse 90% ( imo ), 70 mins may be enough for 1 return to hit the scouting bonus

@StingFPL Yeah very true, not even lucky to be there they're always a good side

@FPL_Impulse Croatia really have punched above their weight

Wanted to find out where Portugal ranked amongst nations that have played in the World Cup by population - turns out we are not even top half. This is the list ChatGPT gave me for anyone interested 😂 1 China ~1.41bn 2 United States ~347m 3 Indonesia ~282m 4 Nigeria ~232m 5 Brazil ~217m 6 Russia ~144m 7 Mexico ~132m 8 Japan ~123m 9 DR Congo ~115m 10 Egypt ~114m 11 Iran ~90m 12 Turkey ~88m 13 Germany ~84m 14 France ~68m 15 South Africa ~63m 16 Italy ~59m 17 England ~57m 18 Colombia ~53m 19 South Korea ~52m 20 Spain ~49m 21 Argentina ~46m 22 Iraq ~46m 23 Morocco ~39m 24 Saudi Arabia ~38m 25 Poland ~37m 26 Ukraine ~37m 27 Uzbekistan ~37m 28 Peru ~35m 29 Ghana ~35m 30 Ivory Coast ~32m 31 Cameroon ~31m 32 Australia ~27m 33 North Korea ~26m 34 Chile ~20m 35 Romania ~19m 36 Senegal ~19m 37 Netherlands ~18m 38 Ecuador ~18m 39 Tunisia ~13m 40 Belgium ~12m 41 Bolivia ~12m 42 Haiti ~12m 43 Honduras ~11m 44 Jordan ~11m 45 Czech Republic ~11m 46 Sweden ~10.7m 47 Portugal ~10.5m 48 Greece ~10m 49 Israel ~10m 50 Togo ~10m 51 United Arab Emirates ~10m 52 Hungary ~9.5m 53 Austria ~9m 54 Switzerland ~9m 55 Paraguay ~7m 56 Serbia ~6.6m 57 Bulgaria ~6m 58 Denmark ~6m 59 Norway ~5.6m 60 Scotland ~5.5m 61 Republic of Ireland ~5.4m 62 Slovakia ~5.4m 63 Costa Rica ~5m 64 Kuwait ~5m 65 New Zealand ~5m 66 Panama ~4.5m 67 Croatia ~4m 68 Uruguay ~3.4m 69 Wales ~3.2m 70 Bosnia and Herzegovina ~3m 71 Qatar ~3m 72 Slovenia ~2.1m 73 Northern Ireland ~1.9m 74 Trinidad and Tobago ~1.5m 75 Cape Verde ~600k 76 Iceland ~400k 77 Curaçao ~150k

@StingFPL @FplMode Yeah that's right, it's before the start of each matchday players like Inacio might not be under 5% if he gets a big return in the first game

@FplMode @FPL_Impulse Is it under 5% by MD1 deadline? Basically can’t rely on any of your MD1 squad still being under 5% by MD2 deadline. Eg I have Inacio

@jamesleachpoet Thank you for keeping his ownership down 😂

@FPL_Impulse I don't own him and I don't intend to 🫡

@FPLRiquelme Think that's a brilliant strategy I want to do something similar, mainly targeting nailed defenders for defences with decent clean sheets odds that are under 5% and using my budget for the big names in the mids & fwds positions

@FPL_Impulse I'm prioritizing the teams I like the most and going for the most nailed players on those teams If I see an alternate that I think is still nailed at the <5% threshold I add them Nailedness is far more important to me than a <5% bonus

that’s quite an age gap

@FPLRiquelme fair play mate, I guess you are you mainly chasing those >5% from big nations?

@FPL_Impulse Yeah I'm down to 6 Might shift Wirtz/Vitinha to lower owned players, also could drop Cucurella to Raum, but I like having a piece of the Spain defense

@aztexxag unfortunately that's the name of the game, some people make a literal living off it so can't expect them not to share 🤷‍♂️

@FPL_Impulse People just need to stay quiet on here but they chasing content

@FPLV1PER Tempted by Cunha MD2 if he 100% starts, Thiago I'm just not sure I want to sell any FWDs for him but he could do very well if he nails that ST position

@FPL_Impulse I think Cunha / Igor Thiago will be under 5%

@FplMode Yeah you're probably right 😔 more annoying that I was going he'd be under 5 by MD2 and it feels very unlikely he will be

@FPL_Impulse There’s almost no point banking on those under 5% boys until an hour before deadline

@AlexVolloFPL @TheFantasyTool_ He's aggressive with the press and assume Bielsa will also want to press so thought he might do it But that's as far as my analysis goes 😂

@FPL_Impulse @TheFantasyTool_ There's no way he's going to get 3+ tackles, he's that attacking for Uruguay

The more I learn about Saudi Arabia, the more I like 🇺🇾Maxi Araujo for MD1 👀 He's a top 10 MID for xPts on @TheFantasyTool_ and he's only 0.2% owned. Saudi Arabia looking vulnerable whenever opponents attack the space behind their right-back. The defensive rotation is often very slow, transitions is super chaotic, and quick switches of play have consistently caused problems. That's the area Maxi is likely to attack, whether through his own runs or by combining with overlapping teammates to create overloads down the left. From a positional standpoint, this might be the most exploitable matchup of MD1. They've also struggled to deal with second balls in and around the penalty area, often failing to clear danger after the initial action. Maxi is very active attacking those loose ball situations, regularly arriving in dangerous areas after the first ball has been contested. Same thing with Cape Verde in MD2, which is perfect for my WC3 strategy. Want to see the full expected points rankings?
