Taking hit is a choice. It's not a general rule; I have a wounded squad, but I'm hoping to have some of the players back after the two-week international break; otherwise, I'm going to take -20 and let the hell lose. Members of the second chance league are currently the luckiest people on Earth, second only to Trofo and his Mafia Newcastle United team.  Grin

A good -20 to gaine 100 points .. Grin
You could say that again for the lots of you that have got your hands dipped in a different bucket. Am still trying to see the light even though it’s just few GWs ahead and -20 points is such a big deal while playing catch up. I don’t need to do that though, my squad still looks and feels good and I’ve got some chips to spin things around in the event of utmost necessity. Can’t say am not seeing the chances swiftly been blown away though, can’t stop looking at what terrible choices I made from previous GW. A four man bench that was well about 29points and on pitch players that is just 14points.

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

Nuh uh, not me. Even with all these injury doubts popping out I'm not selling anyone. I've got excellent squad depth. No bench fodder anywhere.

Maybe you're right, after all. I'll just make one or two tidy transfers and then sit on my beast of a squad then. A warning to you all: Nunez is staying.

But all us second-chancers going to carry the same penalties right?

I wish I didn't use any free hit. 15 points were painful for me. Isn't it early to give up on KDB? I think that he is going to find much more time to play after the national matches. One shouldn't forget that when Haaland and him play together they become a duo that is near impossible to be stopped. Good luck in the second chance league...

I actually bought him just before he returned from injury, mainly because Salah was about to leave but now that the latter is returning from injury, I thought it makes sense to swap Diaz out for him, but can't really keep two players of their cost in my squad.

Note: I don't know what I'm talking about. That's... not even a joke.

Oh, I didn't know that the penalty would reflect in GW30. I know Trofo mentioned that he'd warned about it, but must have missed out on that. Guess that means I'm going to carry over some penalties, and shoot myself in the foot, as usual. But all us second-chancers going to carry the same penalties right?

I even had to manually count the point because I thought aint no way Im getting this low LOL



it was a round that hits different, didn't used fre hit, and that was probably a good call, looking at other scores

didn't get points, but other didn't two, hopefully free hit will have better use when a lot of teams have DGW, although all those team players are already in many teams

Well actually the average points are only 12 points so that would be decent only until I saw that the highest point of this round is 78 so that means Im pretty bad this round. Also some folks from our pool got over 20+ points so yeah its kinda frustating lol. It could have been worse for me if I had not used it because I got 7 players that did not play on this round

I'll give you 2.5:1. I pay 5mBTC if you make it, you pay 2,5mBTC if you don't.

Mafia this is not how to make a bet - I counter your offer for over a week and you went mute and only returning when I'm almost 150 points from the 15th position... Making 15th from my current position is a suicidal even 3 Trofo put in one cannot achieve it. Go away with your bet.  Smiley

Didn't Igebotz say we can join with a new account with all chips loaded?  Regardless, I can optimize my BB, WC and TC if that's not the case.

You're allowed but using the same IP might get all your team banned. Becareful. I'm using my current team.

The Team of the Week is a newly created team that took advantage of the BGW to earn some exciting prizes... There are some people that only play to win Team of the Week, and the majority of these awards are earned by new teams.

Sorry for everyone who used free hits for sub 20 point return  Tongue
You can't judge free hit on one week result. Yeah it flopped this week but I still got a lot of it.

Without it I would have used transfers to get Maddison, Bowen, Morris and one Luton defender at least. So that is -16.

Than I wouldn't have Zabarny and Palmer week before and I would miss their points. So that is at least 40 points less if you look just GW28 and Gw29. Much more difficult to judge further implications but gut feeling tells me I got about 100 points out of it.

I would immediately take another hit now to remove some of those players...

Free hit value should be calculated over period of several weeks before and after the week it was used. And that part so far looks quite good. Not crazy enough to actually try to calculate it.

Hahah, free hit used for 18 total points. That's 1,6 per player Grin

Won't be joining the farmers second chance league, I'm without any chips left.

That's basically it for me this season in Fantasy, next season I'll come back stronger.

GW29 wrapped. I didn't do anything other than bring in Maddison and Bowen on free transfers (they both returned 2 points a-piece btw) and somehow, I still managed to get above average points? I'm glad I didn't use my WC because now I can put it in a better use if I want to hyper optimize my squad for final lap of the season.

Give me 5 Odds bro- 5mBTC if I make it and I give you 1.5mBTC if I don't. Real gamblers shit. Don't chicken out like Trofo. Free money for you.

I'll give you 2.5:1. I pay 5mBTC if you make it, you pay 2,5mBTC if you don't.

You can't peak on anybody before the deadline. After the deadline passes games goes into update mode and after about 30 minutes you can see all the teams.

Just the way game works and very fair if you think about it.

Yep its fair though but given my current circumstances of unable to get anywhere higher than 10 points on average points of the week on most rounds. I really do need some peeking to get a hint on what player to use LOL



So how many points did you get from this? I used free hit as well and yeah surprising its way lower than what I had expected LOL. I think Im just not cut out to play fantasy, dang it

I even had to manually count the point because I thought aint no way Im getting this low LOL

Your league, your rules  Grin

Maybe I am complicating things here but you could all agree to take the same hit. Let's say 20 points and then you are all on the same start.

No, we're sticking to the FPL official rules - no need forcing anyone to take -20 hit. We have 2 weeks international break to rest and get back our players.

You have a problem there and I warned you guys about it. He should have done it in gw29. This way he will carry minus points to the league.

FPL has some odd rules, but don't worry, everyone is entering the league with a wounded team and will take a hit in someway. Taking hit is part of the game.

I only have 8 available players in my team, and I'm fine with starting at -12 in the new league as long as I get the squad I want.

For main league folks, what are your plans for massive blank  in GW29? I'm stuck between using my WC or fold my hands, do nothing and risk  getting a beat-down to the sub 20s like Igebotz.  Wink

I did nothing. And got a grand total of nothing points so far. Actually am quite amazed there are people scoring 70 points in this week.

Any advice from non 2nd-chance league players on what I should do this week to get my leg back up? I'm thinking to stay with who I got (but need to ship out two injuries if they don't recover by the weekend). Need my points and some emergency mbtc for end of season.

As captain of the second chance league, my unpopular advice to you is to wipe out your whole squad and take as many hits as possible; your journey in the main league is already over.... You now have the option of starting with 0 points from GW30, meaning your points in the main league are now worthless.

Take the Sheriff advice at your own risk....

Only good think about this week is that it is equally bad for most of us. Feels like wasted chip though. Nothing to do about that
Full waste - regretted it.

It looks like another low scoring week. I think it would be the lowest since the start of the season? Someone help me confirm. Highest I've seen so far is 28. I'm glad I didn't user my WC to onboard spurs assets only to see them get thumped hard by Fulham.

A terrible GW for sure. How I managed to free hit and get the some of the GWs best and left them right there on the bench. Every single player on my bench right now have got more points than my entire 7 on field players to have been played combined. What rubbish! I tried to avoid this, tried to hit my bench boost chip but, it seems the FPL is played by one chip per GW.
First time I got Reguilon on my team, he gets a red card just few minutes into the game. It’s just wow what am seeing and I’m just waiting on the blank GW to just pass!
Spurs couldn’t even manage a goal. I had high hopes on them but, Fulham was just so much for Spurs to try and contend.
Always one chip per week rule, but you are gonna want to use it on GW37 anyway, trust me  Cool
