Trofo, Do you have in the team the players of those teams whose matches did not take place?

I'm just wondering how you can get back the points that I lost this week and last week due to canceled matches, and how this will be implemented in the FPL.

Of course I do but so does everybody else

You don't get back those points, they are lost. That is why it is very important to have strong bench at the moment and then you get auto sub and hopefully at least some points. Still not enough to get full 11 playing probably but better than nothing.

There will be lots of double and maybe even tipple game weeks this season. Meaning there will be a week when some team will maybe play even 3 games. Perfect opportunity to use bench boost or triple captain chips and score some enormous points.

I rectified my mistake and brought in Jota. My next target is Lamptey, he is playing out of position and could be one of the best picks. You don't see often that someone classified as defender plays winger.

I'm not sure who to take, for the next rounds ... rested Lukaku or inexpensive Jota (both teams have not very difficult opponents in the upcoming rounds, but to take Lukaku I will have to sacrifice one of the expensive forwards, since I am missing 2 million). Although hypothetically, Lukaku will sit on the bench for a couple of more games as it was with Pulisic. As for the defenders, so far my trio from Rüdiger, Cancelo and Dias suits me, because looking at Lamptey's statistics a little, I see that he has played in only 6 matches and has never been included in the main team.

You can't really compare defenders which cost 6M or more with defenders that cost 4M, first group are premium defenders which must play every game, while second group are enablers which sit on your bench and hopefully get you some points when they get into the team do to unforeseen circumstances. Lamptey was injured until recently and that is why he was not playing, he was playing every game last season but on right back position. This season he plays right winger and has a price of right back from small club, that is value. He should play at least every second game which is good enough for me.

I am expecting Lukaku to get 30 minutes today and then start all other matches. Jota is much easier to incorporate into the team.

Bump, new games start today.

I screwed my decisons last week since Jota scored a lot of points and Kane got his game postponed. Ah well you can't predict all those stuff that will hapen in Premier League during holiday season. Lot's of games and big bench is more important than ever. That goes both for the teams playing and our Fantasy squads.

OK guilty again, I forgot to make my team selections before internationals and promised to do it... and forgot again, or like Trofo I'd have switched Jota into my team. So I was 29th and now 35th, probably far too late to do anything useful but I don't mind trying to beat Steve every week.

Pickford being in my team of course didn't help heh. They just lost to City and that reminded me he's in my team ouch.

Anyway swapped out 2 injured players and brought Vardy into my team. He's not having it good but sense some goals popping back in for him.

In the end I brought in Kane and left Jota for another week, not worked great for me

I still think it was the right decision since Arsenal was solid for some time now while Leeds conceded about 60% of the goals trough the middle. Sounded like perfect storm for the Kane, great international form, new manager under whom Kane types strikers thrive and Leeds vulnerability down the center.

Good thing Steve is not so tough to beat so at least those 0.25 mBTC free bets keep coming every week Grin

p.s. But, most importantly, I took Pulisic and made him captain! Cool

Why man, why? That guy is total shit for fantasy

I want Kane so bad for next 4 games and i have no way to take him into the team. I also want Jota since Firmihno is injured so he should get some playing time. Now to accomplish that and get enough money I will need to make 4 transfers and I have just one free transfer so -12. To pull the trigger or not? I know I should not but I want those in my team promptly.

Load up on Brentford players. They are starting unbelievable run of good fixtures from this weekend onward and they have two very good options. Toney in attack, and Mbuemo who is classified as mid but plays as striker. Both are cheap and can be used for quite some time. I just switched Antonio to Toney, was heartbroken to let go of Antonio since i have a lot of money invested in him but WestHam started a terrible run of fixtures so I pulled a trigger. That also gave me enough money to upgrade defense back to TAA.

I took Toney in the last round, but I did not sell Antonio because there was no one to replace him, (not to mention the fact that I would have lost a little money on this deal, because in the next round his transfer value would rise). And I also decided to experiment with the players of Southampton (they don't have as many hardcore matches ahead of them as other teams). I took Adam Armstronag as judging by the last season of the Championship, he was one of the most effective forwards scoring about 30 goals, (frankly speaking, if Stuart Armstrong and Adam Armstrong were brothers, then I would take both). Cheesy

Missed this one but just curious... How many of you guys are playing and who’s playing? I think it was hilarious who started a free one a couple of years ago but nobody showed up except for two people. Him and me. Cheesy

Fantasy EPL could pick up in the forum tho, with lots of guys in here who are fans of football.

How much was the entry fee?

This is not like the pools we have so there was no entry fee. I opened a topic this season since Sportsbet and Stake started sponsored promotions for Premier League Fantasy so I judged there will be some interest here. You are too late to get end of season rewards (too much points passed) but both have weekly rewards as well.

Here is a link for Sportsbet one:
https://sportsbet.io/promotions/fun-fast-fair-fantasy

On Stake it is a bit more complicated and much harder to actually get rewards. While on Sportsbet you just have to beat Steve to get something

I am personally playing Fantasy for 6-7 seasons and I am playing for money with my local mates. Give it a try this season for free and maybe grab some free bets and then we can think of creating our own bitcointalk league next season.

Damn it ... bad news for me, as I had to make more than three substitutions in this transfer window.

Just before the start of week 9, I added Vardy to the main lineup ^{[I also made him a captain, lol]}, but he did not bring any points and, moreover, was injured. As a result, I deleted him, and of course I deleted Pogba and Dennis. But the irony is that after I got rid of him, he will definitely play against Arsenal. Now some of my points accumulated this week will go towards paying transfer debts. Cry

Never trust those injury percents inside Fantasy game. I lost so many point over the years benching players that were playing in the end.

Great points and thanks, yeah Daka will be playing as a sub for sure, but I had to make quick transfers and I could be guilty of playing into the Daka hype but sometimes you get the fire going and it's like buying DOGE on the temporary way up haha.

Jimenez yeah I think is a wasted talent at Wolves (as Jota was). Not sure where they're going but I'll play around.

First time trying Premier League fantasy, so thanks for letting me know not to trust their injury percents. 50% seemed so high for me I believed them.

Mount would have been a great transfer for me but as I had to replace 2 forwards I opted for new Foxes boy Daka... and Jimenez, who I feel must be getting close to his pre-injury form.

Funny thing though I transferred out Richarlison as they said 50% chance not playing... and he scored heh.

But who could have known about Mount? This were his first goals of the season everyone who wanted to bring in Chelsea mid and had money went for Havertz, only logical choice with Lukaku and Werner out. I don't think Daka will get many minutes in PL, it is only Vardy or nobody for me in Leicester.

Jimenez is great choice since he is playing 90 minutes every week. He started assisting more and scoring less this season which dropped his point a bit.

[...] Surprised I'm actually still 20th position after all that (in the SB pool) and I see you right behind me Wink

How the hell is that possible? Shocked

Before each round, I look through the news to decide who to choose in the main squad, and I look a few rounds ahead of who will play with whom, but still I stay far behind in the table. Nevertheless, you, with a bunch of injured players, are in the TOP20, in general, I'm at a loss!

I did really well in the first two rounds, actually, was in the top 5 or something, and then well, just got lazy. Salah being my captain probably kept me alive all that while, scoring every damned game and assisting. I guess I'm just not so inclined to do fantasy so much, so I'll try to keep it active but I suspect I'll drop off again for a while at some other point.

Just read a great tweet for FPL enthusiasts. It went something like "You think you got problems? There is 2000 FPL managers who just transfered Lukaku into their team"

I was laughing for a good minute. If you don't find it funny you will after a couple of seasons full of disappointments and Pep roulette.

@buwaytress
Tagging you here since I know you are playing, so I guess you missed the thread and it could use some love

Congrats on same great points in last game week but that one was easy for you with Liverpool winning 5:0

Lukaku just got subbed in minute 20 due to injury in CL match. There goes my plan for the next game week since my captain and most expensive player (apart from Salah) just got hit. And I was doing so well before the wildcard. Better to not have chips sometimes.

Hey buddy, sorry! I get so many tags I miss some, and yes, I played the EPL fantasy for the first 2 weeks, and then got really really lazy and didn't make changes for a while. I just saw my team and I actually had Richarlison and Bamford still there, and even Firmino who was injured for a while. Surprised I'm actually still 20th position after all that (in the SB pool) and I see you right behind me Wink

Finally transferred out the injured guys -- I actually still haven't explored the Prem League fantasy so need to spend some time, but I don't mind just keeping my team mostly as is.

Have you changed Lukaku yet?

I had to use an unscheduled transfer today ... Chelsea won the CL round but lost two of their forwards, which is very sad since they have some pretty easy games ahead of them that could have earned a lot of points. I took Vardy and Armstrong and I will hope that Alonso and Rudiger will not miss the next matches.

Yes I dropped him for Vardy just now. Too bad since Lukaku was my most nailed pick for next couple of games. Chelsea has some great fixtures and I wanted 3 Chelsea players in my team and now i have just Alonso who is rotation risk. Hopefully he will play against Norwich since Chilwell got full 90 in last 2 games. Havertz should be golden for next game but I am not taking Chelsea mid, too much rotation there.
