You know how Dream Team points work by now so we’re only making
subtle changes for our Brazil extravaganza. Scoring points during the group stages works exactly the same as 2013/14 and Road
to Rio, but there’s a twist in the knockout stages. Points will be doubled from the last 16 onwards – except for
the Player Rating and Star Man points as we don’t want to inflate our journos’ egos any further! A win bonus will
also be introduced after the Group Stages to spice things up.
Our Match Centre lets you keep track of how your team, and also
every player that did not make your final cut, are doing in real-time. You can follow all the match action with commentary
and tot up your Dream Team points as you go, all the while questioning why you made the team selection you did.
