My Draft World Cup qualification has been running through the year - and I am going to be running the finals alongside the actual World Cup. This means that my update today is the opening match, which happens to be between Germany and Croatia. You can find it here...

So last year I did a World Cup, using FM's draft mode, where each nation was represented by players playing IN that country - so Messi for Spain, Aguero for England, etc. You can have a look at how it went on the FM17 Stories board. But more importantly, I've started a new one for this year's...

Oh yes, I didn't notice that this board was FM17-specific - cheers!

I am now working on this year's Draft World Cup - I am hoping to time it with the actual World Cup, but we'll see how feasible it is. The big change is that I've been able to create teams for (almost) every country in the world, so there's no more combined sides, like Central Asia or Baltic...

Timed to coincide with FM18's release, here is THE FINAL: https://hypo-fm.weebly.com/draft-world-cup/final I've put the highlights in as GIFs so you can see the match properly unfold.

I uploaded the second round over the weekend, and the quarter finals go up in an hour or so. You can see the latest articles here: https://hypo-fm.weebly.com/draft-world-cup This is where the tournament gets interesting, IMO - there's some really dramatic matches in these rounds (I won't say...

This is the final installment of the group stages: https://hypo-fm.weebly.com/draft-world-cup/final-matches-of-groups-g-h At the bottom it shows the draw for the final 16 - who do you think will win?

I'm up to the final round of group games now. In keeping with how they're done in real life, I am writing about both matches simultaneously, which hopefully adds a degree of drama to it. The first of these involves the resolution of England's group: Final matches of Groups A & B - Hypo FM

There seems to be a limit on links in a post. This is group C: Group C - Hypo FM

The finals are progressing rapidly. Firstly, there's Group B, which features England and the Netherlands. Then today I've just put Group C online, featuring Argentina and France. http://hypo-fm.weebly.com/draft-world-cup/group-b

The finals of the Draft World Cup are underway! Group A - Hypo FM First group features Italy, Portugal, Turkey and Central Africa. I'm going to be doing an update once every two days for the next couple of weeks to get through the groups, then it's the knockout stages.

Cheers guys. I don't think there's much chance of it not being played through to its conclusion, as I've already played it up until the semi-finals, and written up the matches (I'm dying to play the final matches to see who wins, but I'm going to leave those until I've got the rest online).

Hi there, I'm doing a World Cup using FM's draft mode - where each nation can only pick players based in its leagues (so for example Gareth Bale would be eligible for Spain rather than Wales). So far, I have done the qualifiers - from this upcoming weekend I'll be starting the tournament...
