This is my updated, and slightly less template, draft for
#WCFantasy.
I think this one needs a bit of explanation..

First of all, I want to play the first two rounds as aggressively as possible because of the excellent fixtures.
With this draft, the overall plan is:
Target defensive players who are likely to earn scouting bonus points in both MD1 and MD2, while setting up a move for Vinícius Jr. and Mbappé in MD2.
Use the 12th Man chip on Havertz to target what I believe is the best fixture of the World Cup.
Some extra notes:
- Sabitzer ➝ Vinícius Jr. and Oyarzabal ➝ Mbappé in MD2. To make those moves, I need £5.6m in the bank, as I don't want to sell Bruno, Raphinha, or Wirtz ahead of MD2.
- Picks like Wolfe and Mojica are excellent options, whether you're looking to save money or not. They are projected very highly by
@TheFantasyTool_ and are likely to be within the scouting bonus range in the first two rounds. D. Sánchez is also a great pick, as
@AeselFC highlighted in his latest draft post.
- Luc De Fougerolles and Coufal are cheap enablers who appear to be starters and also have scouting bonus potential.
- Kimmich is a must-have and completely non-negotiable for me.
- The defence might not look particularly exciting, but they all have decent fixtures, fit the scouting bonus profile, and make this ultra aggressive strategy possible.
Using the 12th Man chip on Havertz in MD1 looks strong, as I don't want to use it on Mbappé or Vini in MD2 since I'd like to have them as captain options.
---------- Chip Strategy ----------
MD1: 12th Man — Havertz
MD2: None
MD3: Wildcard
