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  

Then we can change that, and make it so that neither you nor I have control.

Let's just say... I can bet 10 mBTC on Trofo winning and you can choose another member of our pool.  

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

I accept it. The one who scores the most points wins.  

What do you say for a 10 mbtc side bet on who finishes the league ahead instead of triple captain?

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.

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.

I don't suppose you are willing to bet something like that with me as well? Looking for some more FPL action  

Doesn't have to be 10mBTC, can be less, let's say 5 or even USD value if you prefer.

[icopress]

Btw ... I found a great way to record such bets.

I don't like using other users' feedback wall as a notebook, but this account is brand new and has a specific name.

So anyone can join and post their notes.

On that, how about a $100 bet on any team of your choice, going H2H against Man City for this season, I'd have Man City then pick a team of choice, it's not who finishes above this time around, as I understand the odds around that, but instead it's just the 2 games affair of home and away, and the better side wins the bet, and in a case of each team winning one game apiece, then the goal difference would be the deciding over both games would be the deciding factor, meanwhile the usual away goal rule will not be in play incase of a draw and that would mean parity. You in ? Just a quote would do here.

I'm just terrible and only joined in on this for fun  

I won't say you're terrible at this, but I think it's more of you actually having a handful of more important stuff to do and you'd on a scale of 9/10 stop making team  changes or even at that forget that you have a football team to manage  with the right dedication of time, so due to the types of bet and calls you make shows that it's not rocket science to figure out you'd likely be a pro at this, if only you have enough time at hand to spare towards it.

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.

Wait for the EPL week to end buddy **which is probably Monday when most users here have their players get to play for Manchester United** otherwise too early to claim your position especially  that I have noticed some FPL members here have scored ~70 points with everyone played and I see close to a ~100 points for our pool as 1st weeks results come in once United get a positive result,  goodluck.

Tottenham have impressed me how they have held up against a lethal Brentford side despite losing Kane to Bayern, thought they would be licking their wounds by now..
-Madison on my watch list now, hope discipline wont be an issue in the coming games...

-Richalison very disappointing fellow

[NotATether]

Chelsea's lineup is such a disaster, to the point where everyone is arguing where Ben Chilwell is starting. Not a good sign.

A bit gutted that all those attackers are starting except for Nunez though, but it's almost inconceivable that he's not subbed in for action.

For forwards it's not really the 60 mins that matters but the goal and assist contributions.

[KTChampions]

Lol. Everyone says that betting that City will take the title is too long and odds of 1.73 are not worth it, but at the same time, I see that everyone is happy to make different parlays 
Maybe create a separate thread for this? So that those who wish can publish there the conditions of interest to them (not only for the Premier League) and everyone can see in which parlays s they can take part.

[Hhampuz]

@Harkorede, City vs any other team in a double header is not too interesting for me unfortunately. We'll see if I change my mind after a few weeks though 

[CLS63]

What do you say for a 10 mbtc side bet on who finishes the league ahead instead of triple captain?

I have added it to the spreadsheet. Good luck. I started to keep more BTC in my account because of wagering over BTC very much. If I win these bets it will be double winnings for me.

Thank you very much for your offer however I'm not going to be able to accept it. To be honest you are the last person I would like to take on in FPL now.   But if cryptofrka offers me then I would absolutely accept him.

Seriously @Trofo your XI is very good but I wonder why did you sacrifice the bench to get that? It leaves almost no flexibility to deal with injuries.

I don't really see it as sacrificing a bench. I have good 4.0 keeper to rotate, any time Johnstone has a bad match like next week, Turner has a great game. I also have a great first sub in Chilwell who will usually be in first 11. What more do you need when season is fresh and there is no European games? Even if somebody stays out of first 11 he will probably enter during 100 minutes long game with 5 subs. Injuries will be handled with transfers and there is that first sub to come in if it is last minute.

And if I must I will play Kabore when necessary, he plays for awful defense but in very attacking position. Even my 4.5 striker is playing in first 11 for now and I don't expect to ever use him.

This is probably a team for just first 7 or 8 weeks before I pull wildcard for fixture swing.

You should be concerned about your team running after the ball from the start. You're lucky we're not three goals ahead right now. We simply need Caicedo to bring Enzo's full potential to life.

BTW Chilwell is playing on the left wing. A bit forward

And in the end, it was once again, a draw. 

[darxiaomi]

Only one player of mine remains to play.  How many players still need to play from yours?

Mine its a United player and its my last hope to at least reach the mid part of the chart, i hope to save the round with him.

[icopress]

Looks like Trofo is to be congratulated on winning the first round (regardless of how M. United plays).

Although I really hope that Rashford will not be able to convert a penalty and Shaw will receive a red card.

As much as you don't want Trofo to gain more points tomorrow, please don't. My recovery to the top 10 for GW1 is now dependent on these man utd players you mentioned + Onana.

At this point, any points I can salvage from Tomorrow's game is a welcomed development for me. A Rashford goal + Assist with a cleansheet to start the league strong isn't a bad idea 

Feels weird wishing Man Utd well tomorrow despite being a Liverpool fan.

[Smartvirus]

Oh no!
Come on naw, just come on. I mean, I liked the way the table was looking already and just now, I visit the table and its a dammed equilibrium points with overly 3 Manchester United players yet to feature… you guys are just great at trashing the joys out of me right now after feeling it was almost done! Still, I just might just have to…

Although I really hope that Rashford will not be able to convert a penalty and Shaw will receive a red card.  

join you Icopress in making these predictions for tomorrow, somehow, you forgot B. Fernandes. I trust Wolves to not be an easy team but, having all them players zero out on points don’t seem like it’s going to happen. Trofo might just have to number in the first anyway. Congr…

[Spack17]

I forgot that I needed to choose the captain after building the squad. This cost me 6 points...


Besides I'm surprised that Gabriel started in the substitutes who was quite effective in using set pieces last season. Also he prevented me from getting the point from Chilwell as well by entering the game in the last minutes. I still think that I made only few mistakes for the first week.

[Renato297]

I am satisfied with the points in this gameweek 1 with 71 points and I only have Shaw to play, something that leaves me with a bad taste when leaving Chilwell on the bench and Gabriel with only 1 point entering minute 86, why didn't you leave him better on the bench Arteta

[Smartvirus]

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.

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.

I was so waiting in you to take this bet @Igebotz and you didn't disappoint me in taking the gamble. I think it's a win bet on John Stones. Amidst all the stats to the later already stated, let's not forget its the EPL and this is England's national team player (yeah, am bringing that sentiment to the bet) and Stones isn't a bad player too.
Still, an interesting choice but, the bet is on Igebotz the way I see it.

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

Hampuz where are you? You can take it too.

Have you used yours on Haaland for 39 points already?  

Hahahahahaha, Hilarious. Didn't see that coming but, that was a lofty point for sure and such a strategy it was at the start of the league. I still wouldn't wish that on my triple captain. A double game week would be one means to beat that and on no other player than Haaland,. His going to be getting all our triple captain.
