Geez, that's a lot of matches. I know they expanded the format but damn I didn't realize how many there actually were until I typed all that out. Anyway, some matches I think could possibly be interesting include Brazil vs Morocco to check out Ancelotti's raised eyebrow, Netherlands vs Japan because that one dude who has predicted the last like 5 World Cup winners said the Dutch are going to take it home this year, and Uzbekistan vs Colombia because let's go Uzbekistan shoutout to them for making it to a World Cup for the first time ever.

Anyway, Fantasy World Cup is the same genre as the main FPL mode, so you get a 100 million dollar budget to create your squad and whoever has the highest sum of points at the end of the tournament wins!

Good luck and I hope you enjoy a World Cup that is in an accessible time zone!
