@slackovic I didn't see your last player in action today; are you thinking of what I'm thinking? It's not too late to make a tweat is it? But how can you tell what I'm holding  

The round would have been over between us if Chelsea's 3rd goal was given ( Palmer's assist)

Yeah, it's an interesting situation. I'm pretty sure that we both selected the same defender, but I can't be sure and I can do nothing about it. And you have an advantage (I'd say slight, but 4 points is not thaylt small advantage). But the thing is... There is nothing for me to lose in this sidebet

Yeah, I'm literally playing against my own money and maybe try to see if I can get into the weekly prize positions 

This is the best I've gone since I started playing - I guess money brings out the best in me

Actually, it's the same for me. In the last two rounds I collected more points than in any of the previous rounds. Maybe it's not a bad thing to include a sidebet into the competition just to take it a little bit more serious. Currently I'm placed 5th in the gameweek and 4th in the event so maybe these two consecutive sidebets get me a prize after tonight game.

I checked your previous records and you were a complete ass until you started the sidebet with me - how you became completely a different player after you made a deal with me is a mystery. I'm always losing money to the Cros but hopefully I recover this one, reset and continue...

We both could climb up to the prize positions more if our last player turns up for us, as some of the top guys already exhausted theirs.

I was a complete ass until we started this sidebets? Man, you didn't even submit your team couple of times

Yeah. Hopefully "our last player" won't turn out to be the same player and hopefully my player will get me more points

The few times I remember to submit, I was always somewhere close to the prize positions except for last GW that I was a complete ass - can we say the same about you? 

Yeah. Hopefully "our last player" won't turn out to be the same player and hopefully my player will get me more points

There's no too many players to choose from today so my guess is, we have the same player

What happened with the points today? I know that points are being recalculated the next day, but I think I had 109 points yesterday and now I see that I have 82 points. Not only that. Igebotz you had 4 points advantage and now you have only 2. There some weird fuckery going on and I have a feeling Igebotz have his fingers in it.

It is because of dribbling recalculations. It always happens, just this time it has much bigger impact on our points. Usually it is just 1 bonus point more or less. Now it can be a lot, if just one dribbling gets classified from successful to not successful, it is 4 points difference, even without captain chip.

Yes, you are right! I just checked more thoroughly. I think they only calculated successful dribbles, but they didn't calculate negative points for tackles. That's why they removed a lot of points. Anyway, I hope to stay in the prizes area after tonight.

I lost more than 20 points from 114 to about 80+ now you see why I don't play this scrappy FPL challenge and there's Harkorede who went from mid table to 2nd. Lol   Kudus almost went to zero

It's Harkorede's hands - he didn't get affected

The successful dribbles stats were mostly fine, only one or two were taken off, the reduction came from the tackles which were supposed to be -1 point for each one, the tackles weren't taken into accounts before and the stats weren't there on the match info, but now they are, Kudus was tackled 11 times hence his massive reduction in points, while Doku was only tackled 6 times.

I was affected, but not as much because my players weren't awarded fraudulent stats to begin with   I wasn't midtable, I was either 3 or 4th and I had 118 points at some point before multiple Doku, Belloumi and Palmer scores were revised.

It won't be bad at all to finish in prized position after such a round, I'll take the win!

[slackovic]

Igebotz, now that it's official that we both have Hall, I guess that we can call our two sidebets a draw. If you are up for it, we can have another one next week. Just to see who wins in the end. It's up to you

These will be double checked and paid out tomorrow when GW officially closes. We have seen how much it can change with recounts but this time it should be ok since not many of us had players in the game yesterday.


No rewards for me, but at least I am doing ok in season standings and I managed to get another 50$ from cryptofrka. This time it was super close

Anything, literally anything from Hall would have been enough after your negative points for Kudus were added.
Fuck it, didn't expect to be 2-0 down. I'll make it right in the next one.

Yeah, seemed weird to me when I checked points initially. I was asking myself did all of these players really have 100% dribble success rates.
11 tackles on Kudus - what a showpony Still better than Palmer though.

Well, finally it's time for me to get some kind of a reward. After Igebotz snatched away my second consecutive victory by copy-pasting my team, this reward will give me a little comfort. I still can't believe that we both had 4 out of 6 players the same.
