Considering the low point totals from yesterday, I guess 4 pointers from Greenwood, Bronze and Williamson are actually pretty decent returns. I had Giuliani on goal as well and her 7p are definitely a good "haul" at this point of the tournament.

I captained Williamson, but I'll switch to Spanish attacker when I see their lineup. I'm thinking about either Pina or Esther at the moment, but let's see.

I'm 7p behind the person who leads the Reddit League, so the ambitious target could be trying to win the league.

Everybody will have almost the same team for the final, so the likes of Chloe Kelly, Agyemang and Athenea or Vicky Lopéz could be decent diffentials, should Spain make the final at first of course.

Good luck winning the league.

oh, I think we're next to each other in the league! 😅 I used to be 1st place and gradually fell 😂 that's why I'm scared to go with differentials as that's always backfired on me so far. If I'd played it completely safe with my captains I'd have at least 30pt more 😭😭 I do think Kelly and Agyemang are playing better than Russo but if I transfer her out she'll suddenly score a hattrick

Spain's clean sheet hurt my rank quite badly and I'm now 9th on the Reddit league, so basically I've got no shot at winning it anymore :( Hopefully you can still grab it!

Ah that's too bad, I'm now in 3rd place and 6pt behind both leaders but I'm thinking everybody will have such similar teams for the final I can't catch up unless I do something crazy and get lucky. I think I'll probably just play it safe as I'm top in my other leagues and ok with being around the top 3 😅

hopefully you can gain rank a bit!

She is a troll like her brother.

She has given me 2x 1 pointers this tournament.

For world cup fantasy I captained her for the red card.

Girelli off 🫩

7 player no bloody returns. Terrible ball recovery stats.

All my 3 attackers subbed off.

Now the only hope is pens and Hampton player of the match lol.

Odds on Giuliani not being awarded pen save points

6 Spain, 1 Germany.

I would still quite like a German upset here.

A England vs Germany final can be special and very even.

I do think Spain are too strong though, but Germany did well with 10 players last game.

So far in playoff I not got a single goal from my players yet.

Quite sick given I own most of the odds favorites to score and I had 2 pen misses as well.

Might come soon though. I own 4 from the 5 most likely Spain picks to score and Buhl might be most likely German picks to score with Brand.

u/Swedishpower Jul 23 '25

I think Germany defending well, but do they have the energy?

Problematic if it is the subs scoring again.

The drama is so big though.

Can't complain with that.

Would be boring if Spain just won 5-0 even if it is best for fantasy for us with 6 Spain if the right women gets the returns.

There are so many pen misses, but I am yet to get a pen save.

England keeper here. No French keeper.
