need help with world cup fantasy team

i figure this is the best place to post this, so here goes.. first of all its a 23 man roster and you cant have more then 3 players from any team,
the help i need is that im now a goalie short and i dont know who is good and is starting for any team, and also i havent watched lots of soccer in the last couple of years so im going on my gut feeling on most players.. heres my roster tell me if there are any players who flat out shouldnt be there and who i should sub in.. thanks

also im doing 3 4 3 formation as well

GK BARTHEZ Fabien FRA
Will have a strong defense. Is still a very good goalie with the NT.
Would be a good choice if you think France can go far.

GK DIDA BRA
Brazil is bound to go far, but their D is suspect. I wouldn't pick him.

D GALLAS William FRA
Good choice.

D TERRY John ENG
Good choice. Should score one goal at least.

D SORIN Juan ARG
Good choice.

D NESTA Alessandro ITA
Is not a lock to start the first game because of injury.

D CAMPBELL Sol ENG
Not a great choice. He shouldn't start too.

M DE ROSSI Daniele ITA
OK choice.

M COLE Joe ENG
Maybe not a starter.

M RONALDINHO BRA
Obvious choice.

M KRZYNOWEK Jacek POL
He shouldn't be picked.

M NEDVED Pavel CZE
Not the player he used to be. Tough group as well.

F VAN NISTELROOIJ Ruud NED
Good choice. Risky given the group of death though.

F PAULETA POR
Good choice. They should be in the second round.

F HENRY Thierry FRA
Good choice.

F GOMEZ Ronald CRC
Stupid choice.

F KLOSE Miroslav GER
Good choice.

F ZURAWSKI Maciej POL
Shouldn't be picked.

F RONALDO BRA
Good choice.

F RAUL ESP
Good choice.

F SHEVCHENKO Andriy UKR
Good choice.

F LARSSON Henrik SWE
Good choice.

a good goalie choice may be casillas of spain. they are in a fairly weak group and should be a good chance to go through. You only have one spanish in your squad right now so you should be good.

would it be a waste to grab rooney? apprently he wont play in the group games and i dont think england will go far..

I think you should replace Nedved with Rosicky.

and thanks everyone for your help :D

now my question is should i sub dida with someone and get R.Carlos on D or keep it the same, and is rooney worth taking at this point?

Raul is worthless in fantasy terms.. doesnt score enough. Drop him for a D.. you're not going to be able to rotate all those forwards in.

sad part is i know nothing about the Dmen in soccer :(

I think you can as long as they are not all playing in the same day :)

sad part is i know nothing about the Dmen in soccer :(

How about Marquez and Puyol?...Both playing in Barca

if youre planning a 3-4-3 you will need more mids in your squad.

I'm playing 3-4-3 too...I would take away 2 strikers and add 2 more midfielders. High scoring ones would be the best. Switch Dida for Kaka.

A set 4-3-3 formation, also one coach. a max of 50M to spend:

Zico as coach (2,8)

Goal: Jevric (4)

D: Terry(4), Pernia(3), Ooijer(2,6), Oddo(2,6)

M: Xavi(5), Cocu(4,8), Ronaldihno(7,5)

A: Klose(6), Hashemian(3,2), Borgetti(4)

50 total

and thanks for everyones help..

I'd take out Pauleta.

If you want a dman: Puyol, Cannavaro, or JanKulovski from the czechs are solid

might switch cole with beckham or someone else thou

but thanks every one :handclap:

whoa, first khan gets dethrown and now maybe barthez?

Never mind, according to Evilo's post in another thread, Barthez will be the starter. For some reason I was sure it was Coupet, good thing I caught it before the WC so I can make a switch now ;)

Me as well... a link would be great.

Still seems to me like alot of guys are being overlooked. Luca Toni could very well start for Italy, Podolski for Germany, Lionel Messi, Hernan Crespo, and alot of others. It all depends on who you see going far.

get rid of Dida and add Buffon...probably one of the top three keepers in the WC. Also I'd suggest finding a spot for Borgetti or Toni in the forward spot.

From what ive heard Barthez will be the #1 for France.

If your switching Cole for Beckham, dont do it. Put Lampard or Gerrard instead... More likely score more goals or setup goals. Beckham isnt as good as he used to be.

Have you seen how dangerous their set pieces are looking with Beckham delivering to Crouch?

At the end of the day he may be overrated as a player, but he will still get assists out the ***

Beckham will always be dangerous from set pieces but id still rate Lampard and Gerrard to do more.

In terms of influence on the pitch, perhaps. But Becks still throws stats out there like its his job....

Good team, but I wouldn't take chances on Karimi or Park, there are a lot of safer bets out there. It's not like you have to "buy" players, but you only have a limited number of transfers available, so IMHO you don't want to have players from teams that have a slim chance of advancing.

Karimi has a knee injury as well I believe. Looks a good team though and its easy enough to transfer the gambles at the right time. And he's really a striker so getting a striker in midfield helps.

Kicking myself for not picking Klose as well as Podolski. Klose has always scored goals in tourneys.

Sorry, missed your question.

It's on a Danish webpage, with all Danish writing, so I doubt you'd be able to put a registration together. Besides, it's maxed out on registered teams (85000).

Is this yahoo league, if so i have a team too.

yes, you can join the hfboards group, group id=29914, password=hfboards
