Here's some #WorldCupFantasy clarifications.

Starting with unlocked and locked players as that's important for the rest of the rules. Image
Captains - Essentially you can only make ONE change, once a player is locked.

You CAN change captains on the same day once the first game has finished.

For example I could go for Kane at 1pm Monday, then switch to Dumfries 4pm Monday.

But that would be my only switch for MD1. Image
Subs are similar - you can substitute a player on the same day within a matchday as long as they haven't played yet. Image
Boosters are as we expected.

If you use Power Captain, only the players in your XI will be considered for captaincy. Image
Transfers might be the most confusing part...

You can make transfers DURING a Matchday, you actually get 6 transfers in the groups, not the 3 that are on the website. Image
How deadlines work.

Importantly you will get transfers to use within the Matchday, I'm just clarifying how it will work in the knockouts. Image
Transfers:

Before matchday 1: Unlimited
When MD1 starts: 2 transfers
MD2 starts: 2 transfers
MD3 starts: 2 transfers
MD3 ends: unlimited
When RO16 starts: 4 transfers
When QF Starts: 5 transfers
When SF starts: 6 transfers
When Final Round starts: 6 transfers
The final round includes both the final itself AND the 3rd place playoff.

You'll get points from both.

Few thoughts on FPL Chip Strategy.

Don't get tied into any one strategy right now, we can't know anything properly until after Wednesday when the FA Cup matches are finished.

Be prepared to change your mind as needed.

And remember...
A lot of the time different strategies are posed as if it will be impossible to play it any other way.

The framing often comes down to "how will you manage x Gameweek(s)" and my usual response is in the same way you'll manage the weeks you're not playing Chips - making transfers
The only aim for Chips is like anything else in FPL - to maximise YOUR points.

If that means changing strategy based on fixture announcements then so be it.

The last 3 seasons have been difficult to navigate because of real world events, it's helped to be flexible.

The official World Cup Fantasy game is an absolute mess.
Randomly, someone I was chatting to about something completely different to Fantasy Football said they also do a bit of work for FIFA so I've emailed them to see if they can put me in touch with anyone to clarify.

It's a long shot but I will share if anything comes of it.
Have some clarification now, tweeting soon.
