@DonieFpl
At the time of writing Donie is ranked amongst the top 10 managers in the world for World Cup Fantasy. The high flier has had a fantastic campaign so far and made a huge decision ahead of Matchday 5. He sold Kylian Mbappe and replaced him with Neymar.
Brazil faced a tough Croatia side in the quarter finals and ended up losing the penalty shootout. However, Donie’s move, so far, has been a successful one as Neymar scored a goal in extra time to secure him a nice return in World Cup Fantasy.
@FPLReaction
Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Community contributor @FPLReaction (Louis) tweeted that he wanted a Croatia goal during Matchday 5. Unlike Louis, many within the community backed the Brazil defensive assets.
Fortunately for Louis, Croatia scored a last gasp equaliser within extra time. Croatia then went onto win the penalty shootout so not only did Brazil fail to keep a clean sheets, but many managers will have replace the assets they brought in for the semi finals.
@FPL_ElStatto
Fantasy Football Scout contributor El Statto was one of the many to tweet about Morocco this week. The African have had a fantastic campaign beating the likes of Belgium, Spain and Portugal in the process. However, its not been a great ride for Fantasy managers.
Many within the community have backed opposition assets when playing against Morocco. In their most recent upset, Morocco beat 1-0 in their match against Portugal when flocks of managers backed the Portugal defence. Following the results, they all blanked and Rafael Guerriero even came off after half time.
@FlapjackFpl
Fantasy Football Twitter contributor @FlapjackFPL has had success. At the time of writing he is ranked 188th in the world and has had a fantastic campaign. Many World Cup Fantasy managers excluded striker Harry Kane from their teams.
England were beat 2-1 by France in their quarter final face-off but Harry Kane still finished his campaign with a nice return. The England man managed to score from the penalty spot, however it should have been more as he also missed his second penalty.
