Unlimited budget is this week challenge if I got that right. And seems you can make transfers manually while GW is going, something like UCL fantasy. Sent links to Harkorede and cryptofrka, it seems it will just be the three of us Smiley
Seems like this is only partially correct, you can use transfers up until deadline but you can't manually switch players that already played. Ah well, who knows. We will find out soon enough.

Yeah, I don't mind if it is just 3 of us, I'm quite sure this would be continued next by FPL so we might see some diversion in terms of pool preference, so I'll take this a learning opportunity, and the lesser the amount of people the higher my chances, so I'll take that too  Tongue Tongue
SAme here, this is nice way to get used to it before next season. Who knows how popular it will get. So far I think it will be a flop but let's see.



Final wildcard team entered, i am ready for the GW. Only problem I couldn't squeeze in both Van Dijk and Ait Nouri in my defense so I dropped Wolves man. Gonna bite me for sure.

I probably would have cared if there were some restricted budget and some other weird chips, but for unlimited budget, you just gotta know your ball and what tactics you wanna go with, I mean I could go 5-4-1 today and 3-4-3 tomorrow without limitations, that's some next level ball game and it wouldn't be as tactically and mind draining as the current 38 long ass week one is, I guess.

Except for the 5 player limit from the same team, which is higher than the 3 player limit in the actual EPL competition, and the absence of chips, I see no difference with the main EPL. Same £100m budget, so I'm not sure where the unlimited budget story is coming from maybe I missed it somewhere...

I was going to ask if we are doing this and taking a rain check, just to see that I've got a PM with the new league link from Trofo, and it's not literally not an unlimited budget, but it technically is because it's not £100m but rather £1 Billion and you can get yourself all the premium players in the game.




The EpL challenge is more of a second chance to teams rock at the middle and bottom to try and win something. It's a big distraction for any team at the top.
The difference is that you are picking team for just one week. This week I spent a lot of time on my main FPL squad and I picked challenge team in few minutes. You just look at single GW fixtures and choose people that you think will do well.

Settling up after the international break is always a problem for me and Pep and other managers mind games isn't helping too. So many false injury News here and there.
Son will be the best choice for captaincy, Tottenham against Luton is looking like a goal Fest in which Son will have some major contribution. Luton have the worst defense, Tottenham can score many goals.

I'll rather have a Luton defender as my captain for the game week than fall for that Son hype bull crap again, I'm still scarred by the Tottenham performance from the blank week, so, I think Imma good with them for captaincy against a desperate Luton side.

I don't have my mind made up yet about who I'm gonna go with, but then it sure as hell ain't going to be Son, nor any player from Tottenham.

Kyle Walker is out for sure, Gabriel Magalhaes is still in doubt, Saka also still in doubt, Martinelli is still in doubt, Manuel Akanji is out, John Stones is out.

Shouldn't you know as an Arsenal fan that Arteta will play Saka even if he's broken his knees?  Smiley

Sounds fun to be honest, there is just 9 league game weeks left, it wouldn't be bad to add an extra bit of spice to it, especially for us at the rock bottom.

So you can surely count me in on this, you might want to tag the likes of buwaytress, cls63, icopress, igebotz and arallmuus to this I'm sure a couple of them would be interested too, I probably would have missed this If didn't decide to stop by in the thread.

Sounds like a weird and fun game, but it's more like donating 1mBTC to Trofo  Grin  because he's clearly winning, he has already given out tutorials on what to do and what to expect; the Mafia is already one step ahead of everyone. Thank you, but I'll stick to the second chance only; I'm still battling to build up my team, and the new challenge will simply make things worse.

One more point about that FPL challenge, seems like unlimited budget is actually a challenge this week and other weeks it will be something else.

Not really sure what is challenging about it though  Grin

Let's see how it goes, if I don't pay I probably won't test it properly. At first glance it doesn't sound that much fun at all, and finding differentiators will be really hard.
I agree with all points except for differentiators. It is actually super easy to field different teams, if you think Spurs will destroy Luton you take 5 Spurs players, if you think Liverpool will do good you take 5 Liverpool players. Yes, everyone will have Salah, Haaland and Son but after that this format allows you to pursue true differentials. It is a punt for one week only and budget is unlimited.

I am leaning towards paid league as well. But we need at least 5 players to make it work.

or we can make it 1 mBTC buy-in and see how will we do. Let me know your opinions and do it fast Smiley

Yup, I'm in for this one. 5 players from 1 team is quite a lot though, wildcarding every week looks like an overkill as well. Not sure what to even say about unlimited budgets Grin

Bump. A new Fantasy game is available on official site, it is called Challenge. Nobody played it ever before and I did not spend a lot of time reading the rules but here are some:
unlimited budget
up to 5 players from one team
every GW new team

So this is much more casual and probably nowhere near as addictive as the main thing. Not connected to your main account, you are creating a new team for this one.

Anyway, I have created a league for us. We can keep it just for fun and I post the code here or we can make it 1 mBTC buy-in and see how will we do. Let me know your opinions and do it fast Smiley

Thread died a bit during international break as expected but now we are back and games will come fast. Decided to play my wildcard in international break to give myself plenty of time to tinker with the squad.

As always after wildcard expectations are big and then reality kicks us in the balls  Grin so looking forward to GW30.

@Igebotz have you figured out how the second chance league is going to be funded yet?

It's already funded - it's a peer to peer system so payment is already secured. The timing was short and I couldn't get us a multi-million sponsorship deal. 9 round race is going to be fun and brutal at the same time.

Read the News, set up your teams and get ready! BTC is going to the moon! The prize might not worth two thick girls right now but by the end of May it would worth more than 5 thick girls for the holidays.

Nothing feels good spending money on something you will regret later.  Grin

Better late then never....so GW29 winner is vd309.

Congrats on 1 mBTC free bet. This result was possible for you with nice Castagne/wood combo in a week where most template teams failed spectacularly. Not sure I like that team for WC that much but after week like 29 who knows.

Come on boys! Even though I had a chance to win a prize in the main league I joined the second chance league. Having different things to play is always nice. On top of that don't forget that there are names such as Igebotz,buwaytress who don't know how to play in this league. It shouldn't be very difficult to take their money. Cheesy

You're only 94 points away with all of your chips available; you have a better chance of making it to the money position, but I don't trust you with chips. Do you know why? Because you had everything to leadfrog Harkorede and myself last season, we both had no chips, and you were just behind us with all of your chips but couldn't use them.

You still have the opportunity to join the second league boat and take away the price with your experience and chip advantage.. Join now, pay later  Grin
Lol… my brother just wrote me off, for real man, damnnnn!
Well, last season was my first experience with the FPL, never tried it before but, I wasn’t particularly disappointed with the progress I made. Yeah, didn’t know how to apply the chips or when was the best time to use them either. Ended up having unused chip down to the end of the season. Sure you know it’s not going to be the same in this season, I don’t mind if I waste them though, that’s not going to be the aim but, am sure going to put my chips to some use before the end of the season and see how far I would get.

A second league, nope! I ain’t doing that, not this time. I take my chances with the main league, besides, you still think I’ve got hope and I feel the same too. Let’s see how it gets with the remaining GWs.
