What happend to Caicedo he got first 3 point and then yesterday they changed it to 1 point? Maybe they just made a mistake first but it cost me 1st place with 2 points less😂

That sounds like DEFCON calculation, they count DEFCONs once again after the game, I guess he was around 12 and first he was above and later below the threshold.

I’m really happy and honestly surprised to finish in first place. In the early games, I was sitting in sixth place, and my captain having played, just a defender and a goalkeeper left . I truly thought I would end up near the bottom.
But yesterday’s matches went perfectly for me "no goals were scored, and I benefited from the clean sheets of both my defender and goalkeeper.
Anyway, congratulations to me and to all the winners. The next round will be very tough, especially since the challenge depends on double clean sheet points, and I don’t expect many clean sheets in those games.

[Kokee44]

New round starts already tomorrow! Clean Sheets score double points, does this mean all players or only defense players and keeper?

Congrats, my friend! You’re a really strong player and a tough competitor.
Regarding your question about clean sheet points and whether they apply to all players, I’ll answer based on how these points are usually calculated, as well as according to the Fantasy rules.
GK : 4 (+4)
DEF 4 (+4)
MID 1 (+1)
FWD no points for clean sheets as you know

Just saw this beauty of a betslip by some brave soul somewhere in the world $5 plays $1600+

Results we had yesterday are very much unacceptable, I was disappointed with how City played and the subs too didn't change much of the game or maybe City were afraid of Sunderland because those boys played like a team with a game plan and result is there for all to see..

Hope next gameweek results will be different.. and no boredraws this time around , please football gods

Congrats to the winner — a low point count this one. I managed to pick up only 26 points, nowhere near the top. We have the final round of the festive event, and I really don’t see myself anywhere near the prizes, but it’s really fun to play these challenges.

Wow just when I was wondering if anybody placed a bet on all those draws you find this slip amazing, imagine he wagered a bit more holy crows.
Those games were so disappointing man I'm so glad I didn't bet on any of those.

Who's not playing 3-1-1 in this round?

To be honest, a +4 for a clean sheet isn't that attractive, so the double points aren't that great here.
I think I won't fall into the trap - I plan to field an offensive lineup.

I was gonna do it but to predict a clean sheet is hard as hell, I'm going offensive too but good luck to whichever brave soul is willing to sacrifice offence for defense 
But it surely wont' be me, I did terrible last round need to figure this out and get some points.

yeah same here I'm not going to do it, it's too risky with 3 defense that it's not worth it 😂I think I'm going for 1-3-1 in this round but I'll just have to wait until I see the lineup before I make any choices😁 I still have a chance to win The Festive Fixtures so im considering taking some big chances with my offensive players😁 Lets see😉

Yeah I'm taking the regular formation myself 1-3-1 not focused on the clean sheets this week Just gonna go for goals and assists as always.
Good luck on trying to win the Festive Fixtures, hope you have more good fortune that I been having lately, then again you have the viking leprechaun good luck

Hey guys, added following rule to the OP.

Event Tie Breaker
In case of the tie our first tie breaker will be highest points in the last game week of the event. Our second tie breaker is then highest points in the GW before the last one, and so on.

So for this "Festive fixtures" event, first tie breaker is GW20 points.

I see we had a lot of managers going with Cash from Aston Villa and he almost had it had it not been for that Nottingham Forest goal that almost gave them hope of a comeback, well played Villa..

Anybody banked on this Mcginn lad who came out of nowhere almost getting himself a hattricK and before this could happen, the keeper had to fake an injury 🤕

I went with Van Hecke, but the game I was most surprised about was Wolves as they kept a clean sheet, crazy games today indeed and Arsenal conceding in first couple of minutes too glad I didn't pick any defenders from there.

I also was close to making a mistake of going with Van Hecke and Raya, but instead, I went with Verbruggen and Gabriel so even if Gabriel couldn’t get the cleansheet, the fact he scored is commendable and enough for a real decent points.

Now let’s see how it will go with the remaining the remaining players I’ve got.

Don’t know how many points Van Hecke received, but I boldly picked Verbruggen as captain and it was worth it. Brighton managed not to concede a goal. Already on 33, and still 3 players to play yet.

Van Hecke gave me 12 points so not bad, I have Rice he and has 2 goals currently but I also had a feeling Arsenal would concede as they have been doing in recent weeks.

Holy smokes you went very bold with the Verbruggen as captain, and damn 33 points holy smokes and still have 3 players left you're looking great so far bro.

You can't go wrong when you choose a player. Lol... Van Hecke, Rice, Watkins get good points, then who is the captain? Haaland is it?

I still have 5 players left and it's a shame Saka didn't play at the start he only got 4 points, because I thought he would be a player at the start.

Haaland remains in the squad.

Who I have left?... That's for me to know and you to find out, but I'm going to do what I've seen a couple people already do if works it will definitely pay off, but yeah I have Haaland for sure he should bounce back this week in this match at the Etihad. I think it's a good matchup for him seeing as though Chelsea have been struggling and sacking the coach could have a little effect on the team who knows right.

[slackovic]

I just checked my result for the gameweek 20 and I'm doing pretty good. Gabriel and Van Hecke got me 30 points and I still have four players to play today. All the players with more points than me have three players left to play. Oh it would be nice to finish around the top this week.

[Jinetics1111]

Damn again Haaland was mediocre can't really trust him these days, Thiago with the hatty I wonder if anyone rostered him?
My GK captain didn't pan out shitty 80' min goal ruined it for me and plus no saves but I guess it was better than having Pickford with all those goals against
