Deal @Igebotz!

@icopress, all good and we agree. As for higher place in FPL - I suck at this so I'd rather not

Thank you @CLS63, and all good!

If you'd like to lower any of the other bets we have (your pick) and add this one in with that amount - I'm good with it

It wouldn't be so fair for you to break one of the bets after Arsenal and Newcastle both won. Still thank you. I hope that you turn out to be right about Gvardiol and I don't become regretful for my decision.

@CLS63 please can you add these side bets between I, trofo and Harkorede https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5406159.msg62622150#msg62622150

I have added it to the spreadsheet but I couldn't be sure exactly. I would be glad if you can check it again if it is correct.

Igebotz x Harkorede: Who will finish higher in the FPL Pool not the EPL Pool. Others are correct. Thanks

Paid my fee today, sorry again for being so tardy, this was bad timing for me personally and management of fees across everything was a mess.

FPL team setup was equally a huge mess, I don't know what happened but I benched Ederson... captained Wilson (lucky he even scored) while viced Raya hahaha. Mobile setup was terrible, and I give myself a mountain to climb =)

FPL FML...

[Hhampuz]

Does Vice Captain make any difference to points? I had mine on the goalkeeper as well, didn't think it mattered lol.

[Harkorede]

I'll take anyone up on a sidebet that Gvardiol will start more games this season than Stones will.

That's a no brainer in my opinion, Gvardiol, if fit will surely be an important part to Guardiola's squad this season, I'm very sure about that.

Thanks CLS63, I usually use a mini feedback as means of remembering my side bets, but it's going to be much easier to follow them now, but damn, that's a whole lot sidebets you all have got there for real.

-------------------------

It's not a terrible way for me to start up the new season, but I just wish Gabriel and Gvardiol had started the game for their respective clubs, I'm now thinking for week 2 and week 3 already, it's gotta be a really consistent analysis and good decision making for me this year, and there is no relenting for me this year, I would say.

No, it doesn't make any difference, its only usage is should incase your selected captain misses out entirely on a game and I mean not playing a single second in the match, the Captaincy chip goes to the Vice directly without have to do anything. Just look at it as an automatic Captain backup plan.

I had Bernd Leno on my bench, and my Aston Villa backup defenders who were supposed to cover for Stones were obliterated last night. ☠️

At least I had Palace main defense.

I'll take anyone up on a sidebet that Gvardiol will start more games this season than Stones will.

This bet is super on your side lol, looking at Gvardiol starting ratio all through out last season they were high for both club and country, although stones impressed me last season In the back and on the attack, and Pep can be unpredictable in his selection which makes your bet interesting. I don't think Manchester city went through all that troubles not to play Gvardiol at the center of their defense as much as they can.

I would take up a bet on haaland not reaching his goals number last season in the English premier league.

Last season, Gvardiol battled injuries and missed the majority of the season. He is also in a more intense league and a fresh environment, so there is a 50% possibility that he will struggle to adapt, and a 50% chance that he will do well in his first season and cement his place in the starting IX. Both players are injury prone and that makes the bet more interesting.

They'll probably end up with the equal amount of starts

My first FPL GW isn't a total disaster despite dropping further down the league. I don't know how I managed to go below 10th place after starting strong at 7th place. Could have been higher if Arsenal had kept their cool till match ended and KDB didn't get off, injured. Plenty of work to do in the coming weeks and a couple of lessons learnt.

Does Vice Captain make any difference to points? I had mine on the goalkeeper as well, didn't think it mattered lol.

I scanned the rules, vice captain don't get any bonus except the actual captain for that Gw was unavailable, that's when they'll step in as the captain and earn the captain bonus for that week.

I read on reddit that James Maddison plays in FPL... The funny thing is that he owns Richarlison.

While R. James decided to give up possession of Chelsea players.

It is really awkward for James to play three Liverpool attacks against Chelsea. No way am I believing R. James owns this squad.  There is no way James would pick 11 players without adding any of his teammates. Nice try, Icopress, but I'm not convinced.

They'll probably end up with the equal amount of starts 

In this case the prize goes to the good looking one. ( J. STONES) 

[CLS63]

I think Reece James has the biggest potential to collect points among the defensive players. I can add him into my squad 2 weeks later.

I have fixed it


By the way I have realized that I haven't made any side bets for FPL. Is there anyone who will challenge me in FPL this year?

I bet 10 mBTC that "triple captain" chip will give me more points than you.

Hampuz where are you? You can take it too. 

By agreeing to this bet, you do not need to continuously follow the game for 38 weeks ... just choose the right moment.

Have you used yours on Haaland for 39 points already?

Of course not! I'd rather wait for a double in-game week.

It's actually not awkward from my own point of view because we can all agree that he'll not be as heavily invested as we would be week in, week out, so let's just say just like Hhampuz he's picked like his team for the entire season and would likely not be making changes every other week like we all likely would, so if that's the case then his squad as actually a very decent one to be be completely honest, and speaking of his team mates, he knows none of them have their place in the new squad guaranteed just yet come rain, come shine.

What do you say for a 10 mbtc side bet on who finishes the league ahead instead of triple captain? I have made many side bets with Hhampuz as well however my offer is valid for him as well.

[Hhampuz]

I prefer to bet on things of which I have no control over whatsoever, so I'll have to pass on any FPL bets as I'm just terrible and only joined in on this for fun
