Yep, with BTC rising significantly all pools brought huge rewards in USD value.
This will again happen every few years but should not be something we take for granted.

PL pool alone had something like 0.3 BTC reward pool - which is over 20k$ at current prices.

Let's concentrate on playing for fun and the sponsorship money will probably come - it always does one way or another.

He already wrote here that sponsorship will probably be 1200$ plus bonus codes. I think that is enough to know what to expect and he will write it in more exact terms soon.

Not as big as we would like but should still be respectable with all the buy in fees. To tell you the truth I think we were spoiled with sponsorship amounts across all pools last season. It is not realistic to expect that much ever again unless we get some new player willing to sponsor serious money on the scene.

Finally, now I have 3 Euros pools to prepare for- I haven't seen any friendly games yet, and I'm not sure what the current strength of these teams are, but I want to play the first round with player expectations in mind. Palmer on free kicks, no?

I honestly expecting more from him. It would be wonderful to know how long the sponsor bag is; I understand Icopress is currently busy, but I would need some reason to put in all of my steeze. At the moment, composure 100%, Panic 0%.

If you see me in the league without payment, don't panic. I always pay my debts.

It's under overview.

You have to complete your squad first (can change it anytime after that, it's not final or anything), pick a captain, name your team, etc.


I wish i've played UCL Fantasy before, it's the same format. Hopefully, it won't be as buggy as the one FIFA had for the World Cup in Qatar...that one was a total disaster.

You won't have any issues with this, considering that I'm trying to find how to join the league for the last 5 minutes.
Yep I'm tired, yep I'm not the brightest light bulb in the room but fuck me, there should be a big red 'join leagues' button screaming at my face, right? Well, I don't see it anywhere.

______________________________

I'm usually for more paying spots, but in this case I actually support the rewards distribution.

It's time to start our pool, since icopress is occupied with bitcointalk Pizza contest I will officially open it in this thread and he will copy/paste most important info to OP.

I will act as escrow for buy-ins on the following address:
bc1qk5e56ejgpvdkpqf94hnm3wu9zfrj26xzj83mwn

Icopress is in possession of sponsorship money so we will join the funds on his or mine addy at some point. You will be publicly notified about it here but I don't think it makes any real difference who among us acts as escrow

After reading through your posts we have decided to put buy-in fee at 1.5 mBTC

And now for something completely different, I am gonna trust you all and put code to join the league right here in the post. You are gonna pay the buy-in fee, send me PM with your tx id and Fantasy name, and only then proceed to join the league. I really hope we are big boys and we can play nicely but in case someone tries to misuse this, I will simply create a new league, and send links over PM while putting problematic people in my black book. Considering this as pilot pool  



Edit: I forgot to talk about rewards. It is a bit though to decide right now but we are looking at probably rewarding first 4, in following fashion:
1 - 50%
2 - 30%
3 - 20%
4 - 10%

Percentages are from total money, sponsorship + buy-ins. That works if we have about 20 players. If there are 10 players, we will reduce to the top 3, if there are 30 players we will add 5th reward and so on. This will be finalized on the deadline when we know exact number of players and amounts we have to dish out.

Although it's a different format and scoring system than what I am used to with FPL, I do like the challenge, I think it will be enjoyable to try something a bit different, especially making subs and changing captains multiple times mid matchday, I like this concept. Count me in!!

I spent at least 5 hours weekly during the FPL season going through YouTube videos, friday press conferences, checking out the latest news, reading opinions in forums and chatting with friends to make my changes, having done all that I could not even make it to the top 10.
Clearly next season I am going with the 5 minutes strategy!!

Did you watch Palmer today against Bosnia and Herzegovina before he was subbed out for Maddison? He looked bright and scored his first International goal, although it was from a penalty kick. It is a good mark from him to secure a starting place in the team in the competition for this England team that is not short of talented players to fill your spot.

Germany, the host, have not been able to get a goal against Ukraine in the friendlies, It will not be good if they do not play convincingly in the two friendly games before the competition begins.

I will give you estimates for myself. For Euro you will need 2 minutes every day plus 5 minutes before every Match Day and maybe 15 to 30 minutes to set up your initial squad.

For standard FPL, I would say at least an hour to set up initial squad plus 5 minutes every week. And maybe 30 minutes on chip weeks.

Now when I say 5 minutes every week, usually I know what I want  to do and it is just 30 seconds but then when I have some though call I loose much more. So that are avarage timings.

Time consuming? A similarity between all of us in this pool is that we all love football and we can gamble on it, so I do not think it is time-consuming for any of us because playing in the pool means keeping up with new information about players, their availability, their game fitness and injury updates, watching games, etc., which is not new to most of us because we did them on our own out of love for the sport even before joining this fantasy pool. So if you already love the sport, that is a plus for you, because whatever you do here will just be you having some fun.

If you have interest in joining us for the next season, you are much welcomed.

The only rules I I'm not comfortable with is the mid-week captain and player's changes; I prefer to set up my squad and not go back until the next game week; now I'll just follow up after each game to stay up with players information. The remaining rules are doable, and I have no issues with them. 

@Icopress @Trofo what's the update

Hi guys,

I have looked at this Fantasy Pool for a while now and read into the rules a few months ago. Now I had a look again and am considering to join for the new season, but can anyone help me out and be so kind to give me a realistic estimate as to how time consuming it is on a weekly basis? I know that it differs for everyone and how much they want to put into it, but a ballpark would be appreciated!

Cheers!

Yeah, I don't like the format as well. Maybe do our own rules and don't use the main page?
Joking OFC, would be a lot of manual work - but the format that was used during the WC is not fun at all and I think it's the same one.

For now i think im gonna skip the fantasy for this Eurocup, but maybe in a few day i change my mind, until now im out.

Are we gonna have some Euro normal pool?

Heh, that is nice, but I'm going to spend the off-season regrouping and studing the BPS system. I'm going to have my guns ready for August.

Last time I was in a Euros pool, I came agonizingly close to wining something, but then dropped out of the top five at the last game, so yeah, there's that. Also I can not even tell you the full list of nations that are in the Euros off the top of my head  let alone the squads.

Euros is more like a training ground to see who is a good player to buy for next season and who gets injured.

My chances of winning are not much better when there are so many more experienced people in the pool than myself, but it has not scared me away.

One of my life's mottos is, How do I expect to become the best if I don't practice with the best??

@NotATether, even with Trofo in it, the pool may be yours to win, but if you do not try, you will never know.

I don't expect as much from this as from FPL. This is way more casual, you can change captains and players mid week. We have wildcard chip and free wildcard. Almost no tactic, just taking best players each round and hoping for the best.

I pride myself on managing the team for long run, here you never have to so that. Hell I am picking players in FPL for at least 5GW and here hole thing lasts 7MD. And 4 or those you have free transfers with chip usage.

Nuh-uh, I'm sitting this one out. No free money for you from me

You all know I am playing, every buy-in we end up with is good for me. Talked a bit with icopress and we will give you guys a couple more days to give your opinions. Then the pool will officially start and icopress will start collecting money while I will make our league.

Same deal as FPL this season. He is in charge of money, I am in charge of handling fantasy stuff. Hope it will be a good one

Folden, Harry Kane and the one way merchant Saka are all old taste, I want to watch something different and just so you know I've never rooted m this English team. My favorite euro teams ( Germany, Belgium and Croatia) are all shit at the moment and I don't know what I'm going to brag with honestly.

To whom it may concern; download the UEFA gaming app from play store to get access to the Euros fantasy, get your team and play around. I like the mid-matchday sub rules.
