Why is Gabriel Jesus transferred out every GW? I'm surprised he hasn't been used as a long-term project; I've never seen Halaand, Kane, or Salah be transferred so frequently after each game week. He's the most transfer out player after the last GW, with 72% of managers already selling him out. I have him on my team and only recently acquired him. I'd like to know if he's best used based on Arsenal fixtures because I intend to use him, Halaand, and Kane for a long-term project unless there are injury concerns.

Why the hell do you guys restrict users amount to bet?
I was able to bet 10$ on each bet and now after winning, you guys restricted my account to how much i can bet on each bet. Seriously?
Wrong topic, I am sure Betnomi has their main thread in gambling discussion forum. This one is related only to Fantasy Premier League and there is no Betnomi representatives here. This is a pool sponsored by Betnomi and that is why it has their name in the title.


Honestly, I never had Son on any of my drafts while setting up my team, because I dimmed him way to expensive, and I looked the number of competition he'd be having, so I never bother, I might have had him if he wasn't a premium player, so It was a case of Haaland and Salah or either with Son, I would give either of them up for Son at very early into the season, Son might have scored an hattrick at the best time he could possibly do, but I don't plan on bringing him just yet, I might settle for a weekly rotation when the fixture becomes rather better, the next 6 fixtures aren't looking like that of which I would expect Tottenham to score as many as 2 goals or more in more than one or two of them.
Same here, but Salah was also not performing and I decided to take Son for a punt against Leicester. I expected one goal or maybe 10 points and another lukewarm performance and then I would immediately change him to Sterling and then later on Salah if he gets his shit together. But Son looked like his old self in that game and he was good for Korea so now he probably bought a bit more time in my team.

Which is sort of unfortunate because he plays for Korea just 48 hours before Spurs game, so after traveling he will be back just for the game and I wouldn't be surprised at all if he is benched again.

Son is looking better and better
~snip

he was my first pick for this season, but had to put him out after first round, not because of trust in him, it was going with the crowd and put Haaland for first few rounds
but after gambling in last round, due to many other players missing this week, I will have to think about keeping him as well (at least hattrick provides you with another round in the team, I believe that is the case here)

Son is looking better and better, don't know if you guys have seen it but he scoredna screamer from free kick today for his national team.

Seems like all he was missing was a bit of confidence. He was supposed to be just a placeholder for Sterling and then later on Salah in my team but now I have to reases.

Diego Costa for Wolves, will he be worth a shot to get on the team when he starts getting minutes for Wolves ? I mean at 5.5m could he be worth having on the bench, for the extra 1m difference from the cheapest in that position.
5.5m for someone who hasn't played since mid january and who will probably need a lot of time to get his fitness back sounds like a big gamble to me. Also, Wolves' fixture post international break looks tough as hell (west ham and chelsea away). IMO that extra 1m that you mentioned could be very useful down the road, i'd rather keep it in the bank and go for a 4.5 or lower benchwarmer
Being injured and not playing competitive games since January are two different things; he may not have been playing, but I'm sure he hasn't been lacking match fitness; he's been doing individual fitness and closed-door games to stay fit. 5.5m is a good risk for someone who can turn a starter quickly. Costa will not play second to Jimenez because he has more EPL experience and is more clinical.


BTW, Chelsea and West Ham are not difficult games; both teams are struggling to keep a clean sheet this season. Diego could score a goal or two against those jerks.

I think I understand your drift, I'm thinking of down the stretch too, it's getting to a point where it would be better to have a bench player that'd be offered game playing time

Could be useful, I mean if you have other useless forward on the bench then switching it up to Costa might not be a bad idea especially with free transfer. He is pretty much guaranteed to play most of the games so it could be useful in the future especially that we are getting near on the international break so everything could have happened later on though

whole my bench is worth 15.9M
that is all I have to say on that topic, give it a thought, and missing few points here and there, because some starter is not playing, is good enough to have lowest possible value on the bench
with valuable players on the bench, you are missing points every round, and I do not want that

we have more than a week, and two international matches for most good players, so there could be injuries and I am delaying all changing to next week

I think I understand your drift, I'm thinking of down the stretch too, it's getting to a point where it would be better to have a bench player that'd be offered game playing time, that's where Andreas have come in handy for most people, you can switch him for a defender playing against City knowing he'd get at least one starting point and an extra one for play over 69 minutes. I'm not expecting Costa to start firing on cylinders immediately, but he's a professional and it's going to be about just a matter of time, but my main question is how many alternatives have Wolves got in CF role ? I mean they've been impressive defensively but they've scored just 3 goals this season, joint lowest by any other side, so I think once fit, he'd gets loads of playing minutes.

Not for me, I don't trust Wolves attack at all and I don't belive Costa has the means to turn it around. Too make things worse I fully expect him to rotate with Jimenez and get bunch of yellow cards.

I can already see it, he is in your first eleven, gets last 20 minutes and yellow card. If my players get zero pointers I want them to not play so my subs can come on.

Mitrović will outscore him by very big margin, and if it is about money then I would go for cheapest possible bench foder and take some 4.4 forward. Did not check but few of those guys had to have price falls, right?

@icopress the customized cold wallet is it for sale? Or it's just a gift from Betmoni to its customers

No, I don't think so, they are just branded complimentary gifts as promotion for platforms, I'd say. Just like the football shirts and scarfs some people (like myself) have gotten a couple of times from SB, these are souvenirs, but would be very useful and since it also promotes cryptocurrency security at large, it is also a plus for BTC and the platform itself.

That means we'll still have to manually count the points for the first four weeks of the month, or is there a way to tell who did better in a given month?
FPL counts monthly points for us. You have a drop-down menu on league table screen and you can see who was on top of any given month. Select phase: overall is default setting. It counts all the chip points and all minus transfers but one month should have at least 4 match days and it often has even 5 so chips don't give that much of advantage.

I think most of us gave their opinions, @icopress it is up to you to chose what sounds best to you Smiley

That is true. I just confirmed it, I think we were talking alone, let's see what others have to say, looks like they don't care about the wallet except for you and me.

It is decision of the OP in the end. If it was my pool I am certain I would go for next monthly winner. Everyone knows in advance and has about similar chances for the win. All chips count and if someone wants to use triple captain, let him, I will save mine to try and win the league. There isn't any extra work, just one click on official page and reading who collected most points in chosen month. Simple and foolproof without any chance of complaints coming back at me, just the way I like it Smiley

That automatically disqualifies me because I don't have any of those and there's no way I can compete with a team with a triple captain and the rest. It's a smaller pool, and manually counting points without excluding chips would be very simple. If it were my pool, I would choose a winner from the team with the fewest bookings.
Why would that disqualify you? Chips are not really bringing much advantage in this part of the season. You used them all I guess and did it magically propell you to the top of our pool?

I've only used triple Captain and WC. I mean, I was at the top of the league for a while after using those, and I know there's no other way to do it. If I owned the pool, I'd give it to the GW1 winner Grin

Month is a long time in Fantasy and I feel like chips should be fair game. Since I will not be using them, it goes to my advantage if they are excluded as well. So by all means we can remove them from side competition  Grin

It's terrible to have left Haaland out thinking he'd not be used to often at the start (or get injured early, like he normally does) and then see everything and everyone before him lose out for not including him.

this is really true
most of users that do not watch EPL that much and playing for fun have Haaland as captain, and they do not give a shit about talks that he is not going to play every match, and they are up on the table
while people that follow the news, trying to figure out will he play or not, based on Pep and his statements are trying to left him out, and he scores two hattricks in a row Smiley

but all that will eventually stop, and he will probably be missing matches after World Cup, City alone at the top, and kick-out stage in CL

The perfect example is my son. On a good day, he watches his team (Man Utd), and that's not even really the whole game. He'll watch bits and pieces when I'm watching, but he and I couldn't be any more different from what we follow. He knows names, ages, perhaps even the spouses, all the gossip (and he plays FIFA) while I actually don't know much about individual players details other than what I watch and how they perform.

I don't hope Haaland misses matches, but I hope he doesn't progress far in UCL -p Just don't like City! Of course, us saying so will only make Haaland holders even better in FPL...

If we are going for one match day then chips realy give out unfair advantage. But if you exclude them what would you do with wildcarders? GW9 has been pointed like maybe best week to wildcard before season started. My initial strategy was to use it now, didn't go to plan so I don't have it but if I did my team would be a total bust for GW9 since I would count on that wildcard and more importantly it would already be activated to try and catch price rises.

You are right, those without WC and triple captain have no chance; the best option would be to raffle it among the top 5 or all participants. Or we do it the FPL manager of the week way, which means that users who use WC, triple captain, or any other chips will be disqualified. That's understandable.
Don't think that is true. Manger of the week counts all the chips as valid as well as minus points.

We could also do it for the whole month. That is officially counted by the FPL site and it offsets luck and chips in some way. There would still be a possibility to pull let's say triple captain and gain advantage, it would be way smaller spread out over 4 match days instead of one.

You may want to out my light to this.

Eligibility for FPL weekly/monthly prize
Quote from: FPL

To be eligible to win a weekly prize, you must have joined the game before the start of the season or a minimum of two clear Gameweeks before the one in which you are top of the weekly leaderboard. Players who have played a chip (including Bench Boost, Free Hit Triple Captain or Wildcard) will not be eligible to win a weekly prize for the Gameweek that such a chip has been used
And that is exactly my point. Where will you check that weekly result? Will you look player by player and subtract and add manually after checking chip usage? We are small pool so it is possible but if there was more of us it would be enormous PITA. Official FPL gives weekly result with included chips and transfers even though they will not give those people awards. You are complicating things and inviting people to call you bias after decision. He sees he is top scorer and doesn't get reward, quite possible you have at least one extra PM you have to answer to. When I am running pools I am always going with official results on the page we are using. That way I save myself from writing boring legal statements and tie breakers.

FPL has to have those extra rules to tackle multi accounts and people just playing for the one chosen game week. And there is several thousands of those every single match day.

It is decision of the OP in the end. If it was my pool I am certain I would go for next monthly winner. Everyone knows in advance and has about similar chances for the win. All chips count and if someone wants to use triple captain, let him, I will save mine to try and win the league.
