Any chance that we might have a new season of FPL here?

I sort of missed the one for last season because It was too late for me to join, but I don't want to miss any upcoming one in case it's there. Fantasy league is much more fun to me than the weekly score predictions on superbru that I even sometimes forget/fail to enter for weeks Grin

Nobody that plays first Fantasy season will ever win it but we won't tell them that  Cool

Well this is a fact confirmed and Im having alot of problem playing this first time. I thought I had good composition for the week already then somehow I forgot about the other factors in game such as managers potentially resting players for UCL and such but well its a good first time playing fantasy and I kinda enjoy it to some extend

The thing that I hate the most would be when I picked Haaland as my captain then he ended up not scoring anything  Roll Eyes

How about some clubtalk dudes from SB? the last world cup fantasy participants were close to 200 although it was a free entry Sad
I have a bunch of the guys there and I even ported them to BSFL competition, I never pointed them here or even talked about this thread. Same way I never talked here about what I am doing with Fantasy for Sportsbet. That was from respect for both sponsors. Now I guess since the league finished it can be considered as free thread until new season starts Smiley At least I am thinking about my pools in that way.

Gonna talk with icopress on telegram before next season for sure to see how we can elevate FPL on forum even more. I don't care who sponsors it but I want biggest possible rewards since Fantasy has become my favorite "sport prediction" game if you can call it that way.

A 50 - 60 man pool will be fun Grin
No way we are getting that ever in Fantasy, it is sort of small niche where bitcointalk user and fantasy lover circles overlap. I am thinking we have everybody already in but maybe we can get some cannon fodder willing to join for bigger rewards and then donating their own sign up fee as well Smiley Nobody that plays first Fantasy season will ever win it but we won't tell them that  Cool

But i won the cup in my first full season attempt... Grin

Congratulations to all the winners! The battle for 5th place was really epic!

Igebotz, morvillz7z, vd309, Trofo: Please PM me your Bitcoin address so that I can send you your well-deserved prize.

In a month I will start looking for sponsorships for the next season.

I will try to do everything possible so that the prize money is at least twice as much (ideally it would be 0.3 - 0.4 btc).  Smiley

Payment received...... Thanks.

Is there going to be some kind of design medal on the OP for the league winner and Cup winner ? please don't make it boring.

Increasing the Prize pool means increasing the sign up fees right?  No problem but please make arrangement for the cup as well.

Congratulations to the winners, well done everyone! I admit I still have some ways to go, but personally, am pleased I made some progress vs last season -- I intend to continue and to make a better effort. I know, I know, it takes commitment, will, etc. I'll do my best to make sure you guys have more of a contest from me heh.

@Igebotz not quite sabi ball, but not bad at all Wink

Yeah i no really sabi ball on this one but don't you think that a first timer getting 5th and winning the mini cup deserves some vacation on Seychelles island with some ladies in bikini? Grin

I didn't realize I was going to make it this big when I started the season, chasing Harko for 5th place till after the world cup, I guess I was around 40 points away, I can't remember, and I continued pushing until I got it. This should send a clear message to the top 4 guys that Igebot will hunt them down next season.

Congratulations to the winners in this pool! This was my first participation, and I achieved 10th place this season. I don't know if the competition will continue for an unknown period.

In fact, the game is great because it helps develop the skill of analyzing matches and predicting their outcomes, as well as evaluating the players' quality.

Once again, we thank the official sponsor of the competition, Betnomi, and the supervising members @icopress for this competition. We hope this competition continues, and we participate in it for many years.

I'm delighted you missed the Mitoma and Halaand News; my sole issue is Estu last-minute substitution from the coach; he was up there for the lineup, and it was tough to make a replacement since it was a few seconds to deadline. You have a nice Liverpool setup there, BTW.

To be fair, because the cup is the most tough competition, it should come with a small token next year.
Very nice round for you Igebotz. I did some things good like taking Kane for Haaland and giving him the captain band but I also spent -4 to get Dalot for Shaw when it was leaked he isn't playing even though I said before I would not make any defensive transfers since it is last GW and goals are to be expected.
Yes, -8 was well spent. I did my homework really well; I anticipated there would be a lot of goals, so I went with a 3-5-2 shape to massively attack, and the line up leaks information I received was also very helpful. I knew Harko was going to prioritise Liverpool assets because their game was easy, so I chose to spread my legs.

Secured the 5th position
Won the league cup

Wasn't a bad ending was it?


This also concludes our side bet / mini league competition. You were though opponents but I am pleased that I managed to come on top.

I wish I had joined when I had the opportunity since I did very well in the second chance league.

Congratulations everyone.
Thank you betnomi and Icopress

I'm also having a small prized-positioned chase on Igehhhh, I'm not going to say I'm very optimistic, however, Ironically we both still have a tie to settle as we both reached the cup finals, but I'm sure it's going to be an entertaining match-up as it has always been between myself and igehhh.

Less I forget, is there anyone else following the cup competition ? I don't mean the global one, but rather the cup for this specific competition. as for the Global cup my major is concern it takes only just few weeks to get one eliminated.

Why always you.... Grin


Is there any side prize for the cup winner? @ icopress

I really don't know how our paths gets entangled so often, but it's normalcy given the niche we found ourselves.

There is no prize for the cup winner AFAIK, but I would say it should be up for consideration in the next edition next season if there happen to be another FPL competition.

There is only 4-point difference. This is by far the most tough GW for me; it's either die or break at this point; there will be significant rotation and possibly plenty of goals in most of the games, and everyone is waiting for the final moments to make adjustments; I hope the system doesn't break. It's less than 3 hours until the deadline, and I'll be fixing my team as soon as possible to avoid missing it because I'm already preoccupied with other things. FYI, I'll be taking a -20 hit.  Cool

If you plan on waiting for team leaks to make your moves just before the deadline, basically at the last possible moment, be aware that FPL servers may crash due to the large number of people attempting to access the site and make their transfers. It's happened before and since all games start simultaneously, this could cause trouble...yeah, be prepared if you're chasing rank or ml position.

I will make my moves late as well. I'm only looking to field 11, hope rotation won't be as bad as i anticipate. I won't go crazy with hits or differential punts.
Too bad, I really hoped you would go -40 or more to give me fighting chance  Grin

I plan to wait for last moment and just use 2 free transfers I have and I have already set up my squad in a way it should be okish if the servers went down and I end up locked from all moves.

It's really going to be a funny kind of rollercoaster, I can't even make any decision, I'm thinking of taking a couple points hit, but will the juice be worth the squeeze, I guess I have enough time to consider my risk assessment and just going to take the whole of the day and tomorrow making decisions on other pools rather than spend it tinkering on a FPL line up.

Congratulations to everybody that's got their position locked down, and Good luck to every other person too!

I had the worst GDW, first with Grealish playing zero minutes in the first game and missing the second due to illness from the title celebration, then with Akanji who played only 58 minutes, picked up an injury, and missed the second game, I'm still wondering how I retain my position when my only hope (Shaw) got an injury and was sub off, I thought all hope was gone so I didn't bother checking until this morning. I'm in a lot more trouble than you think; Grealish, Akanji, Willox, and Shaw are all injured, so I'm forced to take a major hit for the final dance. To be honest, I've deleted three drafts and I'm still nervous Grin

I understand your frustration and it's not invalid, but I want to believe that most of us already have an idea of what Pep Guardiola would do for that game, having already been confirmed as 22/23 champions, if I was asked to list the players that would almost a have secured position from a Pep's rotations perspective, my answers would have been Mahrez and Alvarez honestly, I guess everyone of us have also had such a mistake or wrong last minute decisions, I had Trippier but got -4 points hit, just so as to bring in Alexander-Arnold, a player that could not even make up for the extra -4 points I wasted on him, and I probably would have being ahead now, had Chelsea not score that lone goal, which deprived me of another 10 points from De Gea, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, but I believe the decisions we make about our teams is actually the fun part of the game, and made it worthwhile.


If the points hits that I'll be incurring this final GW doesn't workout, then I just have to congratulate you in advance,

GG everyone!
