We review the semi-finals and all the talking points for both the Official and RealFevr Fantasy games, and look ahead to the 3rd Place Playoff and THE FINAL in both games.
We cover what we think are the best strategies and discuss how we'll be approaching the very FINAL round of the tournament.
Good luck, enjoy and thanks for listening!

We kick this episode off by going over both of our predictions, highlighting what we got right and wrong and what we expect to happen over the course of the rest of the tournament.
As ever we'll cover results, standout players and how to attack the upcoming rounds of Fantasy Football.
There's also discussion on tactics, strategy and how those approaches will differ between the Official and the RealFevr game.
We end with questions sent in by you guys - if you want more interaction, we're all for it! Just ask us questions, get in touch - we'll feature what you say on future episodes.
If you liked our 'From the Archives' content we debuted on our previous episode, there's more of that at the end of this one, so stick around for that!

We look ahead to the knockout stages and give our opinions on the best players to target for the upcoming round.
There's no respite - the knockouts kick off on Saturday (not even 24 hours after the final games of the group stage on Friday evening!) so while we have unlimited moves in both the Official Fantasy Game and RealFevr, there's little time to dilly dally over what to do.
Do you target individuals? The fixture? How far ahead to look?
We discuss it all and MORE.

We look the best players for the upcoming round in both the Official and RealFevr games, as well as giving a brief overview of what happened in MD2.
There's Wildcard talk as usual, and both games offer some great options for you to take advantage of, especially as there doesn't really seem to be an obvious template at this moment in time!
There's no sponsored advert this week but there will be more to come!

James takes us through the latest updates for the rules and glitches and the madness of the Official game, but we also dip our toes into the slightly more robust and reliable fantasy game, RealFevr...
We go over the best of the action from all the initial group games, let you know who we're both targeting and how we'd both approach playing our Wildcards in BOTH games.
There's some great cheap options and if you turn your back on the 'bigger names' you can cash in on some tasty fixtures...
We cover it all so you don't have to - just don't blame us if the game breaks if you do what we advise!

James takes the reins in our introduction to the Official FIFA World Cup Fantasy game and takes us through pretty much anything and everything you've been concerned about.
We go over the rules, the format, chips, price points and even whether you should build your team around teams/players or fixtures/groups.
There's talk on standout players, any potential red herrings and which nations offer the best for your Fantasy team.
We give our opinion on who tops the groups and whether or not we see any potential upsets and what that means for our team selections.
(Episode recorded Wednesday 16th November - the Official Fantasy game has since updated with Cameroon players and Netherland's GK Bijlow ($4.5m) who is now in both our teams).
