From 22nd - bottom place have nothing left to play for; how about launching a second chance league? 1mBTC side bet. Winners take all. We are 16 in numbers, which is fuckin 16mBTC. Our chances of making the top 5 is 80% impossible.

It is very though to organize, everyone's team is in different place. What if someone does not have wildcard? You will never find enough players to agree on it.

Last season it was super simple since we had free wildcard for all.

Sidebet on Second Chance League? Sorry friends, I know I like giving money away but even I know FPL is far from my reach. I don't mind losing when I'm competitive, but I'm ready to admit I'm beyond the minimum requirements of Fantasy Football.

I'm seriously starting to think Liverpool players aren't worth the remainder of this season. 60 minutes isn't even a given, except for Salah and VVD and that constant loss of playing time points is hurting me.

The problem with Haaland is that he is so good we are judging him by his own last year standards. I mean the guy has scored 28 goals in 31 games this season. Not bad stats for any attacker no matter the name.

That’s true but, it was about time he delivers on the points that his price have got most of us hoping he could do and we knew him to do. He’s got some goals but, still far from impressive like we had in last season.

Had some high hopes on Saka in today’s fixtures against Sheffield United. The day that most of the team got goals to their names, the most goals for them on their last 5 games and Saka could get one. Arteta did take him off too early though but, he should have for that point boost. He got 2 assists though, not bad.

Still looking up for what to do with my team in the coming GW. I guess am sure bringing in Son.

Honestly, I don't care much about wildcards; the most important chip for me is TC and bench boast. I did not use the first WC, and if I do use the current WC, I will not exceed -12, and there is always the potential that my WC usage will go wrong.

Being a gambler is expecting the worse while hoping for the best. The majority of the team has nothing left to fight for and lacks incentive to continue, which is why the second chance league will benefit them more than harm. It's a battle for the Mids. No serious gambler will pass this.

So are you on with this or you just wanna keep playing for fun till the end of the season?

If you find at least 5 people I will create a second chance league for you guys.

Funny how you rate chips. Wildcard is by far most powerful chip that impacts your whole season over multiple game weeks. Followed closely by free hit that gives you opportunity to maximize your points in space of several weeks as well. Bench boost and Triple captain are single GW chips and almost never crucial in overall rankings.

As someone that has used both chips, WC is the most important for me and free hit even though it's only available for use once per season, I'd rank it 2nd place. WC helps to mitigate previous mistake with squad picks. Last year, I was doing badly in the league but since I used WC and limited the number of transfers I do in a week, I've seen good progress.

I'd like to join. Even though I'm in 19th position and I have recently had some nice return weeks, I still think the top 10 is far-fetched for me. Breaking into top 5? Near impossible at this point when Trofo and other big ballers in the league are nearing 1800 points.

Over my first season with the game, I didn’t get to use most of my chips like the bench boost and the triple captain. Some of the reason was that, I just didn’t know when was the best time to apply it. You don’t want to apply it and then you find your triple captain getting an averaged point or your bench coming up with something even below average. For most of us, our bench is so low quality that, we practically signed them for the purpose of warming the bench while spending more on on-field players that we feel could give us those vital points.

That’s what makes these chips under appreciate or not have much value like the WC, it’s always about a gamble on these chips but, the WC isn’t always like that.
In fact, you can almost be sure of something coming up in the DC which would require you to apply your WC. Other times would be the BGW. It’s always plausible and you have a high expectation which often plays out compared to the use of other chips.

As per the side league, I’ll put that to bed. It’s just few GWs ahead and I don’t see the need. I rather wait or take my chances in other on going leagues for those that are already in one. Let the season’s loss be the season’s loss. That’s gambling, you loss and let loose.

 it's all about hitting it at the proper time. I've seen a team use the WC and take -8-12 on the next GW to reorganise their team. (Harkorede)

I agreed a good use of the WC could reshape one's team for the rest of the season but could also cause you alot of shit if not properly used.

nelson4lov and Igebotz - 3 more teams to go! Who's interested?

You have your eyes set on the 5th place and still have your chips available. One good use of the TC and you're there.

Solanke's performance is going to be quite critical for me this week. For me to make up for at least some of the points I lost in last 2 weeks, I need to get extra points from him. De Bruyne's not being able to make any contribution to the score despite playing for 90 minutes in the Manchester derby and Foden's shining like a star worsened the things for me quite much.

[cryptofrka]

How does the second chance league even work? Whoever plays starts from 0?
What's the buyin?

I ruined my chance of getting into rewards in recent weeks but my team isn't in a good spot - so I'd be at a disadvantage for sure. Still - better to play for something than not.

Official league can be created from any GW you guys want. So for instance you agree to play from gw30 till the end.

Last season it was perfect since we had world cup break with free extra wildcard for anyone. Any normal season that isn't the case and second chance league in my opinion isn't viable.

If you decide to play it I would advise from gw 30. And you use gw29 as wildcard week. Meaning all you guys take -32 or whatever is needed to get perfect team and then start competing week after. That also means you probably loose any chance for our main awards.

As I already said, I am against it since it will be unfair competition whatever you do, better take side bets who gets more points until season end between Salah, Haaland, Son...

KDB killed my chances for a climb as well
really expected from him to shine, but unbelievably he had no contribution in Manchester derby
Arsenal defense put some points for this week, but KDB and Alvarez are ruing me

nevertheless, putting in first Luton player this season for next two game rounds, what a shit GW29 is at this moment, seems as a pause week for my team

That’s a way to go I think and the more time is spent discussing over this, the less chance that there is going to be any realistic second chance option.

You have your eyes set on the 5th place and still have your chips available. One good use of the TC and you're there.

I haven’t been looking up to any chip for a saving grace though, I haven’t lost sight of getting into a prices position. It’s just about a 100points differentials ahead and with a little consistency in a 70point GW, i like to think it achievable but, guys in the top 10 aren’t making it any easy for real. My yardstick remains Icopress. @Icopress, am coming for you,

I didn’t even border on having KDB on my team this season, his a great player but, his role as I perceived it would be about giving assists and playing safe. Only getting to go for goals when it gets really difficult for the rest of the team in converting their chances. Again, his price didn’t give me much of an option. Need to split that money around on some plausible options.

I'm creating something to fight for - Now you're thinking like a real gambler.

Igebotz, Cryptofka, nelson4lov and buwaytress are interested in the second chance league, now we need at least 1 more candidate to have it.

Requirement: 1mBTC only. Winner takes all.

[NotATether]

I'm seriously starting to think Liverpool players aren't worth the remainder of this season. 60 minutes isn't even a given, except for Salah and VVD and that constant loss of playing time points is hurting me.

Salah - VVD - Bradley is a no-brainer.

But if you want to think longer term you can get Salah - VVD - Trent.

But please, sell Nunez FFS - get Watkins or something. He is hurting your rank, and that is without talking about captaincy

If you have lost all chance of being in the top at the end of the season, you better focus on getting yellow caps. Freebet is a pleasant chance and if you are lucky until the end, you can increase it several times.


Am I right that I won the last game week? This is already my second victory, but unfortunately I am in the middle of the standings and now I myself need to focus on mini allins to get yellow caps.

[buwaytress]

First time in a while I scored below average, all that despite Nunez scoring and Watkins giving me joy. Such is the strategy I fail to implement in FPL. Next round, playing around with my team, and counting on an Anfield night of magic, so I just changed formation and benched all my City players. Add Raya who can't play against Brentford.

Easy, right?

P.S. Ignoring NotATether calls to ditch Nunez.

I've used up my triple so I don't think it's going to be even but what the hell, if I have to lose money, it might as well be to mafia or the sheriff. Just tell me what to do. There must be a name for this disease of taking on challenges I know I'm so bad at.

Igebotz is the lead on this one so I am waiting for his input. You guys must must agree how to settle payment, and all the rules. I suggest winner takes all and you guys just pay up when it finishes. And most importantly which GW you are starting. At that moment I will make a league for you guys and post a link here or send it to igebotz for further sharing.

Yeah you are the proud winner of 1 mBTC free bet. Nice score of 96, Foden captain coming in clinch for you.
