However, FPL lovers need not despair as we've got a World Cup Fantasy League set-up to fill the 6 weeks without Premier League action!

Let's not forget the football World Cup is the biggest sporting event on the planet so what are you waiting for? Follow the steps below to join the Hive World Cup fantasy league now!
