then we got free wildcard and after that, I was great and managed to climb into the money positions. But not first place, it was second or third.
Yeah, I can recall this about 2 seasons back, being my first with a lot to learn, I noticed how you were able to note, get them free transfers and gifted wildcards even before the rest of us could realize it was available. Made proper use of them DG and it serves you real good in the end.

Sadly, I missed on most of that, reason why Igebotz was always on my tail on how bad I was at utilizing these chips. Improved I’ve the course of last season but wasn’t enough to get me into a prized position, it was by a point margin though, just a point. I’ll see how to make up for that in this season.

I think everyone chickens out because I was giving too many pieces of advice here.
Chicken out huh, mehn let’s just cut the crap, you’re good and it ain’t difficult to acknowledge that. It’s not about them comments though, I’ve seen you have some terrible GWs but, on the whole, you do make some good calls quite frequently.

Man, I think you're downplaying it a bit. Your average rating over the last 8 seasons is 244,634.   Smiley

The season before last was just like that. I started with a double Liverpool defense and Kane instead of Haaland. The result was I was bottom of the pool after 5GW. I finished the first half of the season maybe on the 20th position. then we got free wildcard and after that, I was great and managed to climb into the money positions. But not first place, it was second or third.

A single mistake before the season begins or while you are using your wildcard can have a knock-on effect and single-handedly derail it.

That being said, I am happy to share my team:



I don't think anybody is going to be interested in copying this while they continue tinkering with their own teams.

And yes, why are people afraid of Trofo? All he does is see my picks and go the complete opposite.
How about we even the odds? If I finish above Trofo, you owe me 10 mBTC. If Trofo beats me (which he probably will) then so be it. Seems like a great deal considering he's won the league two years in a row... and you don't have to do anything except watch.
That is not actually true. Last season I won and I was having good season from get go. That was first such experience for me and still I only won in the last round by very small margin. I usually start very badly and than make up for it and climb ranks but not all the way to the top.

NotATether, How about you?
No thanks, that would be like a charity donation to you.
Man, I finished lower than you last year (I think).

Anyway, how about whose triple captain chip gets more points? Last year, you got lucky and got 60 points.

You did? I recall finishing somewhere in 25th or the like. But that was only because I was stupid and took a lot of hit points after using my wildcard too early. If I held on I could've finished in the top 20.

I think everyone is going to be TC'ing Haaland GW2 against Ipswich though, so I don't think the new offer is worth it.

I was talking about that Fantasy H2H between us for 10mBTC - higher finish wins.
Agreed! May the strongest win!

Jesus, icopress, you're asking me to challenge you for 10mbtc? I want to say yes so badly, but I'm already giving away 2 mbtc participation fee here haha. But hey, I love me sidebets, so let's make it a very puny 2 mbtc and we're on! I know I love giving money away but you have to think of others who need my money too Wink
I'll take it! To give you back 8mBTC later. Lol  Grin

Also about Bobb

But it can be a Pep's mind game.

If anyone was thinking of even transferring him to their bench then they might as well write off their FPL seasons.

I think this is my 6th draft in the last two weeks ($0 in the bank).  Roll Eyes

My advice is to avoid Turner, he has 21,1% owners and when people understand that he is not 1st pick in the team they will start to transfer him out and you will lose some sum from the budget.

What's stopping this team from wrapping up 130 points?  Wrong answers only....

Edit: team deleted from Trofo eyes  Grin
I am purposely avoiding looking at others' drafts this season. Want to try something new and put out the first 11 without outside influence. I am leaning towards early wildcard anyway so why not see how I can do in the first few game weeks?

Just reading injury/transfer news.

My old question remains: how do we see our old positions in past seasons? I really tried looking. I know 3 or 4 seasons in a row I'm bottom of Clubhouse league, but I want to know precisely how badly I've regressed (or progressed?).

Click "Pick team", scroll down and click "Game week history" and there you go.... On mobile but should work on web too.

@Hhampuz @NotATether up for any side bet homies?

Screw it - 10mBTC that I finish with more points than you at the end of the season  Smiley

No, I can only go 3mBTC max, don't want to be greedy, I have other side bet to take, not putting all egg in one basket this time. If you're cool with my offer kindly leave a feedback on my profile.

Ladies and gentlemen I will release my draft tonight  Grin

@Icopress I've donated my BTC. Check DM.

@icopress - we good for this? Haven't seen it in your notes.
Same conditions? I bet on Salah to score under 22.5 goals.

Nope, you luckily escaped that one last year Grin
Too many unfamiliarities with LFC's lineup, gameplan etc - I actually feel we won't have a great season from Salah this time around.

No sidebets for me this season unfortunately, just in it for fun and trying to dive a bit deeper into all the pools/fantasy. Will master my craft and take you guys up on it next year Smiley
Too bad. I thought I could win back those 10 mBTC I lost to you last season.  Grin

So, last season I finished 12th or so (I was ranked 1060473 overall).

I'm willing to take side bets.  Roll Eyes

For example: 10 mBTC if you finish the season better than me (Agree to go with anyone except Trofo).


I lost one of that size to you already last season on Salah's goals. Revenge time?
That's a potential 2k$ sidebet but fuck it, let's do it. I'm more experienced than last year and know where half of my mistakes were made.

This season's going to be tough though - and I won't be able to watch PL properly until mid September.

Hey mate. I accept that fantasy is a little different from the other games. However I finished in the 3rd place last season even though it was only my 2nd season. I think that I'm going to be champion this year as well by getting past Trofo. Therefore if you do some research I'm sure that you can also build a nice squad.

So I recommend you to rethink about it. See you next season at worst. Smiley

Thanks @CLS63 for your words of encouragement but I guess the thing is, additionally I'm not very familiar with EPL. If you ask me to name maybe in the top 4 clubs their players I might get half, then down from there I hardly know anyone. Definitely EPL pool helps, but you only pick results there, you know Newcastle and Aston Villa are amazing teams but I know Isak? And Ollie Watkins? I can't really think who else right now lol.

If you become champion I will 100% join next season Smiley
