Yeah, I wouldn't mind people from the outside, there is only so much room we can grow into here on the forum. Sports betting is a niche and then Fantasy is a niche inside that. On the other hand, as Igebotz says I also want to play against people I know and can chat with here on the forum. This season was a bit flat on the top since 3/4 people that I was fighting against most of the season aren't vocal here.

Banter is what makes these pools tick. Sponsorship money is a bonus we all enjoy but if it wasn't for that ask yourselves how many would join the pool actually? I know I would and I am quite sure for all the people writing here regularly as well. We just get more from it.

In short, if they are guys (or girls) who will regularly discuss things with us, by all means, otherwise keep them away. This is my personal opinion not my stance as a pool organizer. Who knows who will organize the pool, what sponsors we will have, and what rules that combo will land on?

Creating an account just to join isn't enough for me; we want individuals who understand the forum rules and are willing to play fairly; we shouldn't just choose people from the street to increase the pool size. I believe that this is a private pool that should only be open to Forum members who understand how this place works, care about their reputation, and are aware of the consequences of cheating in a pool.

The only time we let a random duck head into the pool, he nearly shot us in the head and stole our money. I'm fine with the numbers we already have. If it weren't for the few of us who keep this thread going, it would be somewhere among the 444+ pages buried in the sand of time, looking dusty like Liverpool's Donasiour era League titles cabinets

Yeah but you guys are missing the other part of equation. We have to sell these pools to someone to get sponsorship. You can't sell a pool for the same 20 people which all already have their accounts made on all the bookies represented on forum.

To get sponsorship money you need some angle, be it players, popularty or whatever. And that goes double for fantasy which has super focused group and nobody who isn't part of the pool reads this thread

You need to be a forum user to join the FPL on the forum, that’s to say, it’s exclusive to for forum users but then, having to create an account with aim geared at participating in it’s forum exclusive FPL contest feels a bit off. Given that, the much that is done here would be undermined just for some fun time while contesting for a grand prize and runner up.

Even now, I feel a little board of the fact that, the season is gone, the FPL in another 3months then, we would have our guest users gone with their league oriented account, only to come back when there is a prize to be won. It doesn’t feel like the best approach towards the forum. They don’t leave us a ghost town, only to ride in when we preparing a fist.

More regular forum users would be nice. So, I’ll say get regular and get a pass towards some of the forum’s exclusive activities and not just a registration ID with a fee to support.

I also think that everyone should be able to get involved however I was thinking of inviting some of my friends outside the forum for next season. They would not only sign up to the forum but also would join contests. However after these incidents I would understand its not being allowed.

We're already dealing with trofo masterclass and we're all far behind and now you're just gonna bring in bunch of FPL experts to kill us all and take our money Grin

That's nice to hear...my record across all pools from last season was awful so I have to check my spreadsheets and calculate how profitable every pool was before I make a decision but would be of course nice if the door is open for me.

Quote from: Smartvirus on May 24, 2024, 02:28:16 PM

How one man's misdeeds could affect so many others. Well, there isn't any rule yet to deny you participation bit in the event that a rule comes to be of that nature,you definitely would be in the clear and it might apply differently, based on forum participation and how long ago the account how existed prior to the pool creation.

Yes such people with "multiple personality disorders" make it harder for everyone.
I can understand now why bookmakers sometimes have to run additional security checks just because of such scammers and now even prediction pools aren't safe from them.

Speaking of Arsenal, am I the only one who consider their season not to be a failure ? I don't understand they didn't end up with a silverware other the community shield, but on a grand scheme of things, I think they did pretty okay, especially when you put into consideration how most of their derby matches, and matches against other top league competing power houses. This is probably the best year for Arsenal in the past decade, if I'm not mistaken.

Arsenal did well this season, but the unfortunate thing is that the only thing we have to show for it is the record we made.

89 points this season, higher than our 84 points from last season and we still did not win the league! Pep's side has been the weapon fashioned against us for two seasons. It is going to take an incredible performance, one that Arsenal losses no game all season in the league if we are going to beat this Pep's team.

Quote from: darxiaomi on May 23, 2024, 01:47:23 PM

for me the main fail of the season of Arsenal was the elimination of Champions League against Bayern Munich.

This was Arteta's first Champions League experience and the first for many of our players, What kind of performance were you expecting? I was delusional enough to think that we could do it, but I saw how shaky our boys looked against the more experienced Bayern Munich. The entire experience was just a learning process for Arsenal, we will come back stronger this season in the champions league.

I wouldn’t hesitate to narrate in detail what I’ll be doing with your money. Don’t even think I’ll miss any chip in the next round.

Smartvirus is one sneaky player, he doesn't talk much about his moves, but he gets results. @Igebotz, I will not be surprised he finishes ahead of you.

On the other side of things, what may be surprising to you both is that I finish ahead of you both Cheesy

People who are in very bad places in their first season shouldn't be sad. I was also bad in my first season and I completed this season in 3rd place after the disqualification decision.

I take motivation from this; this was my first season as well, and I will surely be better next season.

You did not understand. I didn't decide on it. It is official FPL tiebreaker. And it isn't about -4 points for the transfers. It is the total number of transfers in the season (free transfers + those that cost -4 points). Who has fewer - wins.

Oh that. Thought you were suggesting a means to some decider but, if FPL has these rules in place than that makes a lot of sense. So much for stats and a lot to know about these rules to the game.

70-80 minutes into the game, we were at the same point (705-705), and I was still leading h2h. I'm simply wondering what would have happened if we had ended on the same point.

Team with less transfers made wins.

Haven't seen how close I got, the differentials that served as the decoders and the possible scenraio of matching points in a season, I've had to wonder the same thing. Some rules as to the FPL already decides who could be ahead based on point deductions as per transfers bit in the absence of these, what then?

I think we should decide on this at all but rather, follow up on the table. The table by some means already places players based on certain criteria in these times, perhaps it would be best to let that be the auto decider.

Also it would be in my opinion absolutely understandable when bitcointalk member status restrictions will be applied for the pool after what happened.
I just hope that I will still be able to participate if I decide to play FPL again even if my member status is not very high.

I'm still undecided if I will participate next season too
Still not sure what I could have done better apart from making the mistake that I got Sterling instead of Palmer Cheesy

And it will surely hurt me to see the ongoing decline of Son Heung-min.
A player which I supported since his very early days when he was playing alongside van Nistelrooy in Hamburg.
It reminds that we all get older Cheesy

But you might if the prizes is about the top 5. There are just a few users that gets better and better by the season and aren’t making lots of mistakes to let some of us take the lead but, am coming for y’all next season. Ain’t no way am not getting a cut of the pie.

Arsenal were quite successful in the Premier League however I think they needed to do much more in the Champions League. Especially this year European cups were a big disappointment for English teams.

Well yes, but that is the main problem when you are a big team, only winning trophies saves the season when you spend so much and after a few season being nearby to it, for me the main fail of the season of Arsenal was the elimination of Champions League against Bayern Munich.

The Abaiii12 and co drama continues - can we let it go already, it's derailing the thread. All evidence against him are too good not to be true.

I believe it is important to allow even cheaters to mount a defense. Usually, it ends up with them just digging a deeper hole for themselves. Of course, than you feel stupid that you wasted time on them in first place. Altering the pizza bill is a new low in my book. I mean no matter where you live and how much money you have I am sure you are buying or making pizza quite regularly.

So what is the qualification to enter the bottlers league?

Quote from: CLS63 on May 22, 2024, 04:31:48 PM

Thanks again everyone who has joined the bottlers league. Everyone who has joined made their payment. I hope that we create a league with the same 5 people again next year. It was very easy for me to win the league (Please don't remind me that I won by 1 point. Tongue

).

Oh! It’s a deficiency I and Igebotz just suffered this season. Losing by a single point. In the cheating scandal of the twelves, I was just a point down from the move ups. Took way too much hit for people that didn’t matter like Gvardiol for Walker and he gave me only 2 points, Burns of Newcastle got a yellow card and got me burnt to zero. It was a close one but, come August, I’ll like to see what forward moves I can make for the next season.

Bottlers League, I supposed the top 10 wouldn’t get to feature, so the bottlers really get to have a chance than, having to fatten CLS63’s wallet like you all have been doing in the days past.

Quote from: Igebotz on May 22, 2024, 05:04:16 PM

I racked up 705 points from 9 GWs now imagine what I will get from 38 GWs from next season. Kidding aside if I don't make it to the bottler league requirement I'm only going to create it without participating - possible?

Most definitely but, chances are that, you would make it eventually. Grin
