🏆 EPICBET 🏆 FPL Challenge ⚽ Discussion Thread

[Trofo]

I am proud to present Fantasy Premier League Challenge in collaboration with Epicbet. For those of you that don't know FPL Challenge is special mode of Fantasy where you pick new team of 6 players every week. To make it interesting and a bit tricky there are special rules for each GW, ie. Different budget, United players score double points, Arsenal clean sheets don't count….stuff like that.

How to join
1. Register on FPL Challenge site, you can use your existing Fantasy account and just pick new team name. Maybe same team name is possible, but I didn't try it.
2. Register on epicbet.com site and then join Epicbet FPL Challenge league
Link to join the league: Epicbet FPL Challenge league
3. Fill out the following form with your nicknames, if you skip this part I will just skip you when sending winners so make sure to do it since I have no way of crediting rewards without connection between your accounts.


Rewards:
Every GW there is new challenge and then your team resets. Therefore, we have bigger rewards for each GW instead of end of season rewards.
Reward amount will be $200 – 300$ paid to your Epicbet account as locked bonus, total depending on number of players, 300 if we get to at least 25 players which should be no problem since there is no sign up fee. After discussing it in the thread we landed on reward split, 200 per GW and adding 100 from each GW to event.

Event - The Festive Fixtures - GW17-GW20 (400$)
1. 150$
2. 100$
3. 70$
4. 50$
5. 30$

That event is comprised of 4 game weeks (200$ per GW)
1. 100$
2. 50$
3. 30$
4. 20$

Tie breakers
Seems there is no official tie breakers or they don't work properly, we will use following ones

1. Higher number of points scored by the player that scored most points in your team, looked at without captain chip but with all the boosts that get rewarded by challenge rules
2. Higher number of points scored by the cheapest player in each squad
3. Better overall ranking
4. If everything is the same reward will be split

Our competition officially starts from GW14, but feel free to join and create teams for GW13 as well. We will use this one as test. Be careful GW14 is midweek deadline, and it will come very soon. Since this is GW based there isn’t a big problem if you join late or miss a GW here and there.
As always have fun and may the best one win 😊

Game week winners:

Never tried the Challenge mode, happy to see how it works out. In theory looks like a lot of fun.

Always took Fantasy for granted before the BTT leagues changed it for me and now I'm hooked, so naturally taking part in it for sure.

Thank you, Trofo, for yet another challenge/tournament. Like most of us, I didn’t even know there was a separate mode on Fantasy League. I already looked at it a little — it looks fun, but I definitely would never have searched for it. And now that there are rewards, it looks twice as fun! 

[Trofo]

9 of us in the league so far, not bad but not great. Sort of think many people didn't even realize this thread exists yet. Good thing is that we play this week by week so late comers can join at any time.

Tried to check out your teams a bit and I see that players are hidden until they step on the pitch. Don't know if I like this or not but looks interesting.

Shame that for now we have such a low number but I think people will come when they find out how exciting these is.



24 points with 3 players more to play hope that Rice has a good one today. And maybe should have put Martinez as a capitan.

Yeah we should have given captain to the goalkeeper since every time there is a goal kick it is one recovery. You didn't factor that in with Martinez probably, I did and that is why I went for Dubravka. I wanted to pick a keeper that will face the most amount of shots that aren't of target. Haaland captain with these rules was plain stupid.

[BABY SHOES]

Because of this free FPL challenge ... I will join and have made a squad with 6 players that have been provided, this is still in understanding because I didn't know anything before.

Because interested? Of course there is an attractive prize ... so this caught my attention.

Sorry Haaland was not selected.

No, this was a test week to see how it works. If there were more of us I would have probably thrown in some reward but for less than 10 people can't really sell it to epicbet :=) we start officially form GW14, be careful deadline is in just 2 days.

[cryptofrka]

64 points, league tables aren't updated yet but I feel like I won this one.
Wouldn't surprise me at all, considering that this is the one without prizes

Expected way more recoveries from Bruno but he saved the captaincy call with 2 assists.

[Trofo]

GW 13 is over and Cryptofrka really was the winner. Now I am really glad we didn’t have the rewards so I can make fun of him when this turns to be the only one he won.

GW14 starts tomorrow and this one will have rewards, if you want bigger ones let some people know we are here, I think a lot of fantasy lowers didn’t find their way to this thread yet.


Challenge is VALUE CREATORS, double points for midfielders priced at 7M or under. This should be a straightforward one and I am quite sure we are all playing the same formation. Thoughts?

[Slissy]

Another challenge from the mafia! it never stops keep it up 😁I have now signed up, and have just chosen my team.. Let's see how this goes😁

Is our player budget Unlimited in each round?

Cryptofrka, as always, started with a high performance — sadly with no rewards. I also started great but made a mistake, as you mentioned, with Rice and Martínez because I didn’t know what “Recovery” means. I was thinking it meant when you lose possession in live play and recover it. All in all, we will have great fun with the Challenge FPL

We will all have 1-3-1 formation Im sure of it. And there are plenty of good mid players under 7 mil. So more fun.

[Trofo]

Probably not, each GW has it's own rules so nobody knows. I know there were challenges with limited budget last season. Played one when we had to take scraps cause it was super limited.

[buwaytress]

Joined in solidarity with you bastards. Got a bit annoyed I had to change picks a lot (didn't know you could only have 1 player per team) and then came back here and read Trofo's post, so changed formation (duh). Really wanted a full LIV squad. But let's see where this takes me, cryptofrka won Wk13? What a joke.

[cryptofrka]

Reward or no reward - it's important to show dominance from the off.

Yeah, I'd prefer tighter budgets as well. We'll probably have similar lineups this way.
It will be curious to see if people will pick higher value midfielders as well. Many of those under 7 mil look good, then again - Salah's got Sunderland at home..

I've just joined as well, and submitted the google form details...

I played the challenge a couple of times last season, but since there wasn't any real competition I just stopped playing all along, I guess it should be different with some goodies to fight you degens for.

[ajanwalker]

I joined in. I played fantasy football years ago, but it's been a while. I need to do some research. I said "automatic team building" and passed. I'll build a better team in the future.

[darxiaomi]

Well i ended up joining as always, i have my doubts but since is in the same page at the fantasy i dont have to create an extra account there to play so lets go, a few more minutes spend on forum tournaments is not gonna hurt me at all.

Good luck to everyone and i hope we reach a good ammount of players.
