My bad luck about Watkins injury, not sure who to replace him with so am going to keep him on anyway. Hate these hamstrings, you can't tell if it's short-term or not.

Yes, I also have him on the team, but I don’t have any particular problems with replacing him. Firstly, in the game with City, he would not have scored points in any case (it seems so to me), and secondly, I am already so far behind the leaders that there is no point in choosing the optimal team since I need to focus on individual rounds in an attempt to get a yellow cap. I have a wild card and apparently before the next round I will completely change the team.

Come on boys! Even though I had a chance to win a prize in the main league I joined the second chance league. Having different things to play is always nice. On top of that don't forget that there are names such as Igebotz,buwaytress who don't know how to play in this league. It shouldn't be very difficult to take their money. Cheesy

Are you guys enjoying your free money from us idiots yet? cryptofrka biggest loser, getting so many points and missing out on our league. And silly little me sitting down at the bottom. Was there ever going to be any other outcome?

Or is this the hustler move I'm not known to pull off?

Very respectable 78 points, I think Isak was the one to get you over the line. Everyone has Palmer and Son but Isak is quite low owned in our pool.

Got thim this week, I kinda feel Newcastle's coming out of their bad patch and they have a nice run of games coming. I expected more people would have him, but if you have Haaland Isak is probably not a transfer you can make.
I actually expected that Salah would be awarded the assist for that Diaz goal - in FPL everything is an assist so I feel somebody stole a few more points from me.

Cryptofka on 60 points already and the highest in our mini league is 41. You missed big time. Grin

I would walk over that league if we had the same starting point Grin

Thing is, I played most of my chips and in a short season it will be the difference.
I would have still played with you, but I hope I can still et the 5th place here. Especially after today Cool

Yeah, Isak made magic of their encounter with West Ham United, there were lots of penalties too but, what the heck, he converted them both, wasn’t short on assist and still stole a yellow card, lol… he’s touch made the difference.
We were mainly focused on M. Salah and Son for the GW. Though they didn’t really disappoint, they didn’t exactly shined either. Both teams came from a loosing side to claim the win with just a goal differential.

Manchester City and Arsenal’s null goals wasn’t what I hoped for this game but, it proved a difficult encounter as it ought to be. Haaland continues to have poor records against Arsenal, 4 encounters and only 2 goals with an assist, why he just couldn’t get my captaincy or future on my team. He was just going to average out.

Shouldn't you know as an Arsenal fan that Arteta will play Saka even if he's broken his knees?

He played Saka but we see how ineffective he was. Arsenal should have won that game but they missed many chances. Gabriel Jesus dancing with the ball when he should be shooting cost Arsenal the chances they created, and then the poor decision made by Trossard when he had the chance.

Haaland marshaled again by Gabriel and Saliba cleaning up, Declan Rice keeping tabs on Kevin De Bruyne was also effective.

We did not win, but it is a good result that we were able to get a point from this game where almost everyone expected us to loose, because of the dominant statistics that City have over us.

Liverpool to me do not look like they will be able to keep winning till the end of the season, the title race is still open.

Yeah, I’d agree too, but it’s all or nothing right now, and my decision have everything to do with the final chip that could make or mar any chance I could still have, that’s the bench boost so, I’m taking out potentially long term injured players out for those that should get playing in a double game week, it’s still all a huge gamble, but the players I’m taking out will still be missing for those games anyways, so there is not so much to lose with the minus + I probably would not have had up to the 11 point-scoring players for the game week without taking points hit.

Oh yeah, that’s unavoidable and a plausible action in that regards. Don’t know how many injured players you had on your team but, the bench would have been able to suck them in for a couple more weeks to give you 2 transfer advantage. I sort of gambled that out this week and I don’t regret my actions now. Leaving E. Haaland on the bench and he couldn’t even get a goal or assist, yet I had to let Palmer stay in his place, playing 5 midfield and Palmer delivered 15points, no difference from Salah which I was hoping to bring in his stead but, they both equaled out in points. Would get Salah in eventually in the coming week but, at no cost of a point deduction for sure.

Even with a £1b budget, if you're awful at EPL, there's no chance you'll win the EPL challenge because both revolve around picking the right players. Give a bad manager a £1b budget, and he'll put together an average squad.

And I guess your second chance league revolves around picking bad players? I mean what kind of point is that? Grin

Should I just stop playing PL on Superbru pool since I know I will never win it? It is fun to compete with the best and see just how far I can stretch in that particular season.

I mean everyone is playing it for fun and competiting against the best for the weekly prizes and for me that's enough for the remainder of the season, too early to put some money on it. Looks like it's going to drive more attention next season.

If someone creates a pool for it I might give a try depending on my experience this season.

Cryptofka on 60 points already and the highest in our mini league is 41. You missed big time. Grin

@nelson4luv you chickened out of the league without any info ? That's low TBH.

That being said FPL challenge will be much more luck oriented and easier for casual players to get results. Fact that you can pick another team every week is enough to remove all planning element from the game and nullify my biggest FPL advantage, planning forward and allowing for blank/doubles and fixture swings weeks before they happen.

I have 3 minutes weekly for Fantasy, if the whole league is set up like this I'm out.
I'll still send the 1mBTC as promised, but no way I'm doing this shit.

Wasn't home so did not try tinkering with the squad but as I said later I think you can just change players that did not play. Meaning you have small advantage if you are picking players you are not sure that they are gonna start. For instance you know Liverpool will do well, you can wait for line ups and then exchange your Diaz pick to Jota pick if you see you missed who will be in first 11.

I can't believe you chose the challenge over joining a real pool. Lol - I hit 50 points !!! Chilling at 45k position. Just playing for fun.

I'm guessing Chelsea's £1 billion squad inspired the entire EPL challenge thing. Why £1bn? Grin

8 points hit feels like a lot already, hope it pays off for you in the end but, I just couldn’t take even 4points hit else, Salah would have been on my team. A leap of fate is what am about right now, still looking up to Son to make good his captaincy.

Solanke just made me look terrible today. Hope his on all y’all teams though. Played just over 36minutes or there about and on the pitch with a yellow card. A large zero (0) points for him and I had to gamble on E. Haaland to leave him on the bench just to accommodate Cole Palmer as I couldn’t successfully get Salah in.

Final wildcard team entered, i am ready for the GW. Only problem I couldn't squeeze in both Van Dijk and Ait Nouri in my defense so I dropped Wolves man. Gonna bite me for sure.

I’m team no chips left so I had to take -8 hit yet again, but I’m sure it’s better off looking at I’m trying to navigate the final weeks of the game, and Jarred Bowen seem to be paying an early dividends for me, I’m glad I didn’t get rid if him, but I was tempted to if not for De Bruyne’s uncertainty, I likely would have.

Seems like this is only partially correct, you can use transfers up until deadline but you can't manually switch players that already played. Ah well, who knows. We will find out soon enough.

Quote from: Harkorede on March 30, 2024, 02:21:59 AM

Yeah, I don't mind if it is just 3 of us, I'm quite sure this would be continued next by FPL so we might see some diversion in terms of pool preference, so I'll take this a learning opportunity, and the lesser the amount of people the higher my chances, so I'll take that too Tongue

SAme here, this is nice way to get used to it before next season. Who knows how popular it will get. So far I think it will be a flop but let's see.

I probably would have cared if there were some restricted budget and some other weird chips, but for unlimited budget, you just gotta know your ball and what tactics you wanna go with, I mean I could go 5-4-1 today and 3-4-3 tomorrow without limitations, that's some next level ball game and it wouldn't be as tactically and mind draining as the current 38 long ass week one is, I guess.

Except for the 5 player limit from the same team, which is higher than the 3 player limit in the actual EPL competition, and the absence of chips, I see no difference with the main EPL. Same £100m budget, so I'm not sure where the unlimited budget story is coming from maybe I missed it somewhere...

I was going to ask if we are doing this and taking a rain check, just to see that I've got a PM with the new league link from Trofo, and it's not literally not an unlimited budget, but it technically is because it's not £100m but rather £1 Billion and you can get yourself all the premium players in the game.

The EpL challenge is more of a second chance to teams rock at the middle and bottom to try and win something. It's a big distraction for any team at the top.

The difference is that you are picking team for just one week. This week I spent a lot of time on my main FPL squad and I picked challenge team in few minutes. You just look at single GW fixtures and choose people that you think will do well.

Settling up after the international break is always a problem for me and Pep and other managers mind games isn't helping too. So many false injury News here and there.

Son will be the best choice for captaincy, Tottenham against Luton is looking like a goal Fest in which Son will have some major contribution. Luton have the worst defense, Tottenham can score many goals.

I'll rather have a Luton defender as my captain for the game week than fall for that Son hype bull crap again, I'm still scarred by the Tottenham performance from the blank week, so, I think Imma good with them for captaincy against a desperate Luton side.

I don't have my mind made up yet about who I'm gonna go with, but then it sure as hell ain't going to be Son, nor any player from Tottenham.
