6 points separating 12 people

We all saw it coming, with 3 Arsenal and 3 Chelsea players being the only options in this round.
Not many permutations there, maybe somebody will go crazy on Madueke/Trossard when Arsenal lineups come out but most will probably play it safe.

Skip this one and let's move on to the next round..

That is why it is even more important that I get that DEFCON from Chalobah, 4 extra points could be super important. For those of you that didn't see it, Chalobah now has 11 DEFCONs after recount but they still didn't update it in the game.

Not trusting it until I see them in the game.

You're not alone in dropping Palmer, because our mind was on Mbeumo but unfortunately he was made captain and Pedro would have been a good point.

Now I only expect Manchester City and Liverpool strikers... honestly in the last two rounds many Chelsea players have gotten a lot of points especially Palmer.

Next week Palmer will not be missed again.

Man I dropped him sadly for Bruno smh, I went with the hype of Man U's 4 game win streak vs going for Palmer at home off of a hat trick hype. I did captain Pedro though which was about the only good thing I did this game week, but have a shitty 2 points with Bruno I doubt any of the players I have left will even get me near the top.

Yup pretty much that's a wrap right on to the next round indeed although we could very well be in store for the same thing.

Man fuck it I'm taking a super big (stupid) chance on 1 Wolves player on my team hahah 😂 I've had some really good luck with my bets this week so if I lose in this round again it doesn't hurt too much😁

I think about it, but the risk was super high and the profit was no real plus which player of Wolves is the one to pick? That last question was make me run from that decission.

Lets see if your play pay off or destroy your round.

What a shit is wait for tomorrow for this round to end, i dont know why i thinked the round finish today but Arsenal plays tomorrow.

[Jinetics1111]

Damn man my stupid ass took off Semenyo yesterday as well wtf man why do I always sabotage my picks. Dude has a goal and an assist already and game is still fresh that could've helped a bit but nope shot myself in the foot once again holy this dark cloud has got to leave me man.

If there is something I hate about fantasy football.. is looking at the leaderboard and it's showing other fantasy managers with lower scores only to click on team name & to find that they scored way better scores than it displayed 

Arsenal's game will be a big decider for this double gameweek..

Gabriel Vs Timber Vs Saka

yh supposedly Saka is back in the team will hv to see if he starts or not. If he and gyokores start they will be good differentials for those trying to catch up on points this week vs Arsenal defence.

I also saw the news of Saka, Trossard and Odegaard all travelling with the squad, but my bet is that Saka doesn't start today or plays a max of 50-60 issh minutes if he forces his way into the starting lineup..

Havertz whom I was considering a huge differential option is now out injured, dude is a really technically gifted player, but he just can't stay healthy, tough luck!

[darbitmobilerecovery]

For one side Saka having much less participation than the last season is good for a team when they can give that participation to the rest of the players, but for us or the people who plays Fantasy or games like this one is a complete shit, Saka is not longer a super player like it was a must in the past season.


Uff i check the leaderboard for this round... and damn this is gonna be a super close finish. For sure we all have some same players Raya for example.

You can avoid that easy, just make sure to check the tables next morning. By then everything is updated and usually final. This time +2 points for Chalobah were added super late, about 24 hours later. That makes it really iffy because if ti were last game in the round he wouldn't get them at all. Once GW is complete no further changes are possible.


I can't believe Saka will get a lot of minutes today, but let's see

Why is that? This is the first time I'm playing this type of competition and I can't think of a reason to update points after 24 hours if everything is done automatically. The only reason I can think of is if someone is calculating everything by hand and I'm sure that's not the case.

Now something about my picks for this gameweek. If course I had to f*ck it up again by choosing Calvert-Lewin who wasn't in the Leeds lineup. I thought that Gabriel can bring me some points, but most players above me have more than one player to be rated. Man, I have to start being more careful.

Fantasy has really complex scoring system. Every pass, faul, touch.... everything is taken into account. First count is done live and second count is done after the game while watching all unclear situations multiple times. Have no idea if something is automatic but I think not.

I am not saying fantasy game has people that count it but I think PL has as well as opta stats and other providers.

Wow! I never would have imagine that fantasy football is such a serious competition that organizers put that much effort into scoring. I mean, it makes sense, but it sounds like really a lot of work for something that should be primarily for fun. Anyway, thanks for the explanation.

I don't think you have any idea how big fantasy actually is. There is about 13M of us playing this season. There are multiple youtubers living only from fantasy content. Then there are fantasy shows being aired on English TV where those youtubers and famous players have appearances. And those numbers are growing year by year. Nobody quits fantasy once they get hooked

Edit: that goes for classic fantasy. This Challenge we are playing is new mod introduced just last year I think and it has much smaller following so far. But a lot of potential for sure.

Yeah, you are right. I have no idea it's that big. I mean, to think that youtubers can actually live from fantasy content... To me it's mind blowing. But then again, I'm not that big sports fanatic (although I love this competition). I can't think of a reason why would anyone watch a fantasy show being aired on a live TV

[Harkorede]

So Saka is on the bench, and I know literally everyone have Declan Rice and Gabriel / Timber, but I really think I should go another route, what's there to lose after, I'll probably not finish first, second or third even if I stay that route...

So, I say let's do something a little different with my 3 Arsenal slots and hopefully I'll be able to strike gold.

EDIT:

Fuck it, I missed the timeline by a few seconds, I wanted to change Declan Rice to Zubimendi 

[Slissy]

I don't think this is going my way this round either against Trofo. The only thing that can save me is that his Arsenal players get a red card or not score goals😂 I took a chance with 1 Wolves player, and now I changed Arsenal defender Gabriel to Timber.. I think most people have Gabriel.. But Lets see 😁

I messed up this round so badly man I had Palmer switched him, then I had Semenyo and switched him too if I had just left them alone I'd be looking good right now but nope gotta wait till next game week to try again and it's another old foes match and it's 3 player max again.

[Woodie]

Arsenal cleansheet gone, damn you Brentford.. but then again this is good for the entertainment of football considering everyone expects the gunners to €¥@#& it up in the second half of the league, and like clock work it's happening..

Gabriel captains, how is it going...
Timber captains how is it going...

Maybe against wolves results will be different
