+ half a dozen Iranians and Algerians... all filler, no killer.
I'm pleased with the Brazilian cunt scoring me 28 points, so I won't have to gamble on Messi without having watched him play. Really not sure about his current form, but that goes for a lot of players this tournament: Ronaldo, Suarez, Ozil, Neuer, Vidal, Costa, Fabregas, Van Persie, Aguero... all struggling with form, fitness, injuries or recovering from surgery.
The ITA/ENG/URU group just seemed too hard to call (they all look a bit unpredictable at the moment) so I completely avoided that and I didn't dare to pick any specific German or Spanish forwards either... you just can't predict which one is going to score for them. I'll be curious to see whether Durm will indeed start for Germany, could be a real bargain at only 4.5
I don't think Casillas and Courtois were worth the excessive price tag. Both of them made blatant errors during the Champions League final so I'm not gambling on them keeping clean sheets... opted for cheap alternatives instead.
I think France could do surprisingly well; if not then at least the group stage shouldn't be a problem for them. I'm hoping the same for Argentina but I haven't seen them since the last World Cup so I don't know, reallly.
