🏆 EPICBET 🏆 FPL Challenge ⚽ Discussion Thread

[Renato297]

Thanks for the invitation, I've never played the FPL challenge. I already sent my information in the form.

[Trofo]

By the way, all of you that joined here today after me inviting you privately managed to miss the other league on telegram. I sent you two links for two leagues and all of you just assumed it is just this one here. Just read trough the pinned post there 

We have a classic Fantasy league there and Challenge League here.

After scrolling through the thread, I spotted so many familiar faces from the gambling section!! awesome to see our passion extending beyond just one corner of the forum!!!quick question can I join the challenge directly, or is it invite-only? 
Just want to make sure I follow the rules before diving in!

Big thanks to Epicbet for sponsoring this exciting competition! Your support really adds to the fun and brings the community together.

I just came across this thread and it looks really exciting. I’m very interested in joining the FPL Challenge and being part of the competition. Is this challenge still open for new participants? If yes, I’d love to register and get involved right away. Looking forward to competing and sharing strategies with all of you. Good luck to everyone already in the league!

I’ve signed up for both of them and filled out the necessary forms, so I think I’m good with that.

Guys, don’t miss out on the fun that’s going to be in those Challengers. It’s a lot simpler and more straightforward than the original fantasy.
It’s only a shame that we don’t have weekly rewards instead of monthly. Because maybe then I could actually win some — being good for 4–5 consecutive weeks is hard for me.

What are you talking about, have I written something poorly? Those rewards are per GW. Not monthly.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough so here it goes. We will have only GW rewards here, no monthly or season. Pure fun

Hmmm, now that you mentioned it. It does say GW hmmm, another mistake by me. Well nothing new, sorry Trofo for reading it poorly you have everything done correctly but sometimes my mind just doesn't get it  .

Giving the fact that you've had to explain yourself to almost everyone over and over again then you must have done something wrong, except everybody is the problem and not you, speaking of which I thought the prizes were seasonal too, lol. You should do better  

Weekly prizes, this should be fun fr!!!

I think it is too late for most of you to teach you reading while actually taking interest in what is written 

Usually people start noticing when prizes get out and they miss on them.


One more try.

We are starting with weekly telegram chats. They will be held on Friday at 5PM GMT. We can discuss all things fantasy there and there will be an extra chance for some more freebies. There is a link for telegram group in the OP.

[slackovic]

Oh, well... Since joining is free, I decided to give it a try. It sounds interesting and fun so why not give it a try. I just hope I did everything right because I have never played a fantasy football before.

I'm not sure what was to misunderstand in the OP. I read the rules and immediately realised that it's free to join and there are weekly prizes. That's enough for me to join

This is not actually Fantasy, this is Fantasy challenge. Shorter format where you pick only 6 players. Maybe we get you hooked for fantasy in general. There is big pool for it here on the forum and if you want to test the waters we will have second chance league starting on epicbet telegram. We actually already started with gw and monthly competitions there. Link is in the OP and everything is written in pinned message.


Good news guys, we are over 25 players so that means bigger rewards.

Hate that I can't see other people picks before the game starts. On first spot at the moment but can't check what the guys behind me have left.

[Slissy]

I got 56 points, that's not too bad😁 But i should probably change my formation from 1-1-3 to 1-3-1 because we get double points from midfield players who cost from 7 million and under? or am I wrong?

Edit: I found out about it.

Gameweek 14 : Double Points for Goalkeepers and Defenders priced at 5m or under.

Gameweek 15: Double Points for Goalkeepers and Defenders priced at 5m or under.

Gameweek 16: Double Points for Forwards priced at 7.5m or under.

Gameweek 17 will be announced soon..

[cryptofrka]

In the first GW with rewards I captained Salah
Not even gonna check where I stand on the challenge leaderboard, it's surely near the bottom.

New one should be known tomorrow?

This season they are coming in themed packages of 3. Slissy already wrote it in above. Next week will be budget defenders and goal keepers score double points. So I guess we need 3-1-1 formation if it is possible.

[buwaytress]

Yup, as usual midtable mediocrity for me in FPL, and the same goes for me in the challenge. Serves me right for trusting Chelski, Liverpool etc. Need to be smarter with my choices, but am afraid I'll have no capacity either naturally or industriously. Don't worry, here for the biggest weekly score glory, so don't look over your shoulders too much.

[Trofo]

We have following GW 14 winners:
1. genu - 130
2. FC Gallacticos - 75
3. FREE STERLING - 55
4. Lampalada FC/SLissy - 20 each

Official tie breakers are not implemented or they aren't working good enough. From next GW I will implement my own tie brekers and for this GW I made a compromise. 4th place reward is 35$, I added 5$ from my reward and split it equally between the two of you.  We will discuss the tie breakers in a chat this afternoon, to see what you guys like the most.

[Slissy]

Woohoo my first epicbet rewards not bad Are the prizes added on a specific day, for example every Monday or Tuesday?

I believe they will be added on first working day when I tell my guy who the winners are. Previous GW they were added 10 minutes after I sent them, today, my guy wasn't online yet.

My plan is to group them and pay out asap. So for instance we have the chat on telegram today, those bonuses will get bunched with next week's rewards and paid out on Tuesday since we still have a game Monday morning. Anyway I will notify you at least in telegram group when they are paid and here if I have something else to say to add to the post  

Edit: Bonuses are paid now

Edit 2: Slightly reworked the rewards, check the OP for the details

Edit 3: added Tie breaker rules in the OP

[B1g4udge]

The new round started. So let's see what happens.

[Trofo]

Couple of changes, they are in the OP from yesterday but better to write them here as well.

Rewards:

Due to growing number of participants and some limitations how bonus can be awarded (fixed sizes, no 5$ chip, chips written in the parenthesis) I have redesigned rewards a little bit. I think following can stand for the season.

1. 120$ (100+20)
2. 80$ (50+30)
3. 50$
4. 30$
5. 20$

Tie Breakers:
Seems there is no official tie breakers or they don't work properly, so 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
