World Cup fantasy football: Why signing up to the game now is still a smart idea
- is the best fantasy football game to play this summer
- Russia and Saudi Arabia may have already played - but it's never too late to enter
Just when you thought you'd missed the fantasy football boat, we're here to save the day.
Russia and Saudi Arabia got the World Cup underway after fans in their masses flocked to to add some extra spice to the competition.
But oh no! You didn't select your team in time! What the hell are you going to do next?
Well we've got some good news for those poor timekeepers among you that didn't quite get there before the opening game kicked off.
The curtain raiser saw the two lowest ranked sides in the tournament do battle, so as a result the popularity for the players on show was minimal at best.
In fact, no Russian nor Saudi Arabian player has been selected by more than 1% of Dream Team World Cup managers.
That means entering late really isn't much of a disadvantage at all because very few people have scored any points so far.
Friday is when the tournament really kicks into action though, so make sure you act fast over Thursday night and Friday morning.
Why it's not too late to sign up
- Russia v Saudi Arabia got the World Cup underway
- No player from the two sides has been picked by more than 1%
- Some big players playing on Day 2
Not only is it the small matter of Spain versus Portugal in the evening, but popular picks like Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani and Mo Salah are also in action.
You may have missed the first game - but that doesn't have to mean you miss the tournament.
