Oh, I didn't know that the penalty would reflect in GW30. I know Trofo mentioned that he'd warned about it, but must have missed out on that. Guess that means I'm going to carry over some penalties, and shoot myself in the foot, as usual. But all us second-chancers going to carry the same penalties right?

Bye bye Diaz, bye bye... KdB.

I even had to manually count the point because I thought aint no way Im getting this low LOL

it was a round that hits different, didn't used fre hit, and that was probably a good call, looking at other scores

didn't get points, but other didn't two, hopefully free hit will have better use when a lot of teams have DGW, although all those team players are already in many teams

Well actually the average points are only 12 points so that would be decent only until I saw that the highest point of this round is 78 so that means Im pretty bad this round. Also some folks from our pool got over 20+ points so yeah its kinda frustating lol. It could have been worse for me if I had not used it because I got 7 players that did not play on this round

Nuh uh, not me. Even with all these injury doubts popping out I'm not selling anyone. I've got excellent squad depth. No bench fodder anywhere.

I wish I didn't use any free hit. 15 points were painful for me. Isn't it early to give up on KDB? I think that he is going to find much more time to play after the national matches. One shouldn't forget that when Haaland and him play together they become a duo that is near impossible to be stopped. Good luck in the second chance league...

Maybe you're right, after all. I'll just make one or two tidy transfers and then sit on my beast of a squad then. A warning to you all: Nunez is staying.

I actually bought him just before he returned from injury, mainly because Salah was about to leave but now that the latter is returning from injury, I thought it makes sense to swap Diaz out for him, but can't really keep two players of their cost in my squad.

Note: I don't know what I'm talking about. That's... not even a joke.

Taking hit is a choice. It's not a general rule; I have a wounded squad, but I'm hoping to have some of the players back after the two-week international break; otherwise, I'm going to take -20 and let the hell lose. Members of the second chance league are currently the luckiest people on Earth, second only to Trofo and his Mafia Newcastle United team. 

A good -20 to gaine 100 points ..

You could say that again for the lots of you that have got your hands dipped in a different bucket. Am still trying to see the light even though it’s just few GWs ahead and -20 points is such a big deal while playing catch up. I don’t need to do that though, my squad still looks and feels good and I’ve got some chips to spin things around in the event of utmost necessity. Can’t say am not seeing the chances swiftly been blown away though, can’t stop looking at what terrible choices I made from previous GW. A four man bench that was well about 29points and on pitch players that is just 14points.

You're only 94 points away with all of your chips available; you have a better chance of making it to the money position, but I don't trust you with chips. Do you know why? Because you had everything to leadfrog Harkorede and myself last season, we both had no chips, and you were just behind us with all of your chips but couldn't use them.

You still have the opportunity to join the second league boat and take away the price with your experience and chip advantage.. Join now, pay later

Lol… my brother just wrote me off, for real man, damnnnn!
Well, last season was my first experience with the FPL, never tried it before but, I wasn’t particularly disappointed with the progress I made. Yeah, didn’t know how to apply the chips or when was the best time to use them either. Ended up having unused chip down to the end of the season. Sure you know it’s not going to be the same in this season, I don’t mind if I waste them though, that’s not going to be the aim but, am sure going to put my chips to some use before the end of the season and see how far I would get.

A second league, nope! I ain’t doing that, not this time. I take my chances with the main league, besides, you still think I’ve got hope and I feel the same too. Let’s see how it gets with the remaining GWs.

[CLS63]

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.

[Trofo]

Better late then never....so GW29 winner is vd309.

Congrats on 1 mBTC free bet. This result was possible for you with nice Castagne/wood combo in a week where most template teams failed spectacularly. Not sure I like that team for WC that much but after week like 29 who knows.

[NotATether]

@Igebotz have you figured out how the second chance league is going to be funded yet?

[Igebotz]

@Igebotz have you figured out how the second chance league is going to be funded yet?

It's already funded - it's a peer to peer system so payment is already secured. The timing was short and I couldn't get us a multi-million sponsorship deal. 9 round race is going to be fun and brutal at the same time.

Read the News, set up your teams and get ready! BTC is going to the moon! The prize might not worth two thick girls right now but by the end of May it would worth more than 5 thick girls for the holidays.

Nothing feels good spending money on something you will regret later. 

[Trofo]

Thread died a bit during international break as expected but now we are back and games will come fast. Decided to play my wildcard in international break to give myself plenty of time to tinker with the squad.

As always after wildcard expectations are big and then reality kicks us in the balls  so looking forward to GW30.

[Trofo]

Bump. A new Fantasy game is available on official site, it is called Challenge. Nobody played it ever before and I did not spend a lot of time reading the rules but here are some:
unlimited budget
up to 5 players from one team
every GW new team

So this is much more casual and probably nowhere near as addictive as the main thing. Not connected to your main account, you are creating a new team for this one.

Anyway, I have created a league for us. We can keep it just for fun and I post the code here or we can make it 1 mBTC buy-in and see how will we do. Let me know your opinions and do it fast

[cryptofrka]

Yup, I'm in for this one. 5 players from 1 team is quite a lot though, wildcarding every week looks like an overkill as well. Not sure what to even say about unlimited budgets

Let's see how it goes, if I don't pay I probably won't test it properly. At first glance it doesn't sound that much fun at all, and finding differentiators will be really hard.

I agree with all points except for differentiators. It is actually super easy to field different teams, if you think Spurs will destroy Luton you take 5 Spurs players, if you think Liverpool will do good you take 5 Liverpool players. Yes, everyone will have Salah, Haaland and Son but after that this format allows you to pursue true differentials. It is a punt for one week only and budget is unlimited.

I am leaning towards paid league as well. But we need at least 5 players to make it work.

Sounds fun to be honest, there is just 9 league game weeks left, it wouldn't be bad to add an extra bit of spice to it, especially for us at the rock bottom.

So you can surely count me in on this, you might want to tag the likes of buwaytress, cls63, icopress, igebotz and arallmuus to this I'm sure a couple of them would be interested too, I probably would have missed this If didn't decide to stop by in the thread.

[Trofo]

One more point about that FPL challenge, seems like unlimited budget is actually a challenge this week and other weeks it will be something else.

Not really sure what is challenging about it though

Sounds like a weird and fun game, but it's more like donating 1mBTC to Trofo    because he's clearly winning, he has already given out tutorials on what to do and what to expect; the Mafia is already one step ahead of everyone. Thank you, but I'll stick to the second chance only; I'm still battling to build up my team, and the new challenge will simply make things worse.

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.
