Lol at me. Isak out and he brings the goods. So Suzuki did make it to Villa after all! And he's my keeper in a week where bonuses are from goals and assists more than anything else. If Haaland doesn't get a hattrick, I don't know who will.

These Epicbet guys are good, why aren't they on the forum?!?!

[Woodie]

A  reason I don't like early goals, so after that brace from Isak the whole Liverpool team just went to sleep and can't push for another goal..or maybe they are being conservative as the Champions League is around the corner

For fantasy seems everyone backed Isak to perform and he delivered.

Gapko fair game..

Defense clean sheet ✅✅

Where do you think you are writing this? Uncle bubu fading away 

Kidding aside, I am preaching for a long time now that Epicbet is maybe the best bookie out there if you don't mind KYC. There is no going around it and that is something that bitcointalk has problems with traditionally. They have their ANN thread here and we are working to bring some more promos as well. Also hands down best UI in the business, only crypto bookie with fantasy duels.... I could go on

Haaland entered the chat, and now Isak owners will soon be wishing they had captained this massive asset, but so far credit to Coventry for not according Citeh alot of goal scoring chance's...come on boys give them a premier league welcome..

Other games:

Brighton can't even keep a clean sheet, not good for fantasy but good for punters..

Tottenham will be going down again, because Forest is a better team by far..

[Jinetics1111]

Just a terrible GW so far for me, the games you think would have pure action were indeed shitty(City) and Forest couldn't score against Spurs like WTF man. I guess none of us expected is to be this bad but such is fantasy and football, I had Gakpo and switched to shitty Slobyalie for I don't know what reason why that would've at least helped but ah well onto next week.

I don't think I ever doubted who I'd want from Liverpool for this round, everything could have changed, but it was always going to be Isak from Liverpool for me for this one, my only regret so far would be choosing to captain Haaland over him, I guess that's where the differential lies, but you can't blame me for choosing to go with the hairless Viking. I'm sure I would finish in a better position than I did last week, I have two players left, but so does a number of people we both share a similar lineup, and I believe the most combination for the players left would be between Bruno, Palmer and Saka, Saka and Bruno should be the favorites, for obvious reasons; Chelsea scrambling defense and Bruno's knack for getting assists.


One bad round is all it takes to ruin an event, Trofo is currently topping both the first event and overall table, I should have been in decent spot for that as well, if I wasn't trying to be smart ass which backfired awfully, but there is 35 weeks to go, and it's not going to be walk in the park for him.

Yeah Isak was the best choice but if I just kept my original pick I wouldn't be that far behind, but like you said we have a lot of weeks to go and lots of time to adjust strategies and what not so not worried at all but man second guessing is such a terrible thing to do.

Trofo is a guru at this stuff well fantasy he's been tackling this since I first stepped on the scene so I'm not surprised at all, but we get ready and gear up for the next gameweek.

I did the exact same mistake as you - I captained Haaland when I should have captained Isak. But the biggest problem in my selection is that other players collected almost nothing. Gibbs-White collected only three points and De Cuyper only 7 points, even though he had an assist. Maybe today's selections can get me near the top.

Haha no I was referring to the other usernames I see there -- assuming they're Epicbet players as I don't recognise them. I'm guessing forum isn't really their thing but an entire load of them could bring many fresh faces here.

Agree Epic's got one of the best I've seen in recent times, just the way everything is explained clearly (selectable bonuses and details of wager for each is what catches the eye).

My only gripe with them earlier was display but I guess that really is device issue more than anything.

GW3 Prizes
🥇 1st place: $80 - Doomsday - 73 points
🥈 2nd place: $50 - 1justachillguy - 68 points
🥉 3rd place: $20 - Wirtz Case Scenario - 68 points

This was a 4 way tie beetween Wirtz Case Scenario, FC Last Chance, 1justachillguy and Donked. All with the same teams regarding tie breakers so won on total points. Removed myself since I am such a good guy 

[cryptofrka]

Heh, this challenge is a tricky one. I think we see many different approaches here.

Double points in the derby are attractive but no way I'm taking a lot of spots - it's 3 max per team.
With easy games for Chelsea, LFC and in-form Brighton, will be interesting to see whether City and Utd players make it into people's teams.

I'd say we'll end up with Bruno and Haaland and after that it will be really tough. Mbeumo on double points or Palmer against Hull?

[Woodie]

Looking at how the results are coming in....not impressed at all!!! Chelsea who seem to be the hot favorites produced a draw which i never coming as i saw a cleansheet to be registered but didn't happen..f%@$$ points wasted !!!! But for what its worth Roger's and Palmer delivered at expected which is sweet 

Tottenham struggling to get a result over Everton as expected and I expect Everton to win today..

Lets go boy's 😎😎

[BABY SHOES]

Damn wrong strategy again, at the beginning we chose Emersonn then changed him to Kai Havertz but less fortunate he got 1 point for getting a yellow card, if not change the position maybe the current points are quite decent.

Liverpool were also held to a goalless draw... Isak also like meaningless, like his will be difficult to chase the points above, now just waiting for Haaland as captain, like his other ones also must have Haaland.

Maybe I need to change my FPL name, because I really just can't find anyway to making anything off the freebets, and thanks for the consideration, many many more considerations to come, if you don't stop copying my team combination

Backing double/triple Arsenal defense felt like a cheat code for a week where 3 players per team are allowed, since I can't trust either of the Manchester teams to keep a clean sheet,  great to have avoid the Liverpool no-show.

Chelsea having supposedly the easiest fixture on paper, and it felt like Palmer was a must pick, turned out to be not so much, I would have been better off with a 3rd Arsenal defense.

I still have 3 players left, but it seems I might have to go against the grain with those 3 to stand a chance, Trofo is running away with the first event.

I had Palmer even though I expected that Chelsea won't have such an easy game like a lot of people (Chelsea fans) expected. In the end Hull City could have won the game if only their shot near the end of the game (I can't remember the name of the player) wasn't stopped by Martinez. I have a feeling that Hull City will end up being a big surprise of the season.

After reading this I thought I have some big advantage and then I look at the table and I am actually sharing first spot Consistency is the key to win events, everyone can win GW with a bit of luck, connecting 5 good GWs in a row is much harder.

Although you might be considering the fact for the first game week after Wild card that you should be getting better scores but with the bad results everywhere this game week most especially to those who used chips i think this is definitely a decent points this week, it hasn’t placed you on great advantage but still haven’t affected your position too. Halaand away to Trafford isn’t looking a great fixture remaining but can still rack you up to at least 80 points this game week.

It’s four game weeks done at least 30 points off the top is bad but not that bad in my opinion. Definitely played pissed with my free hit. Most especially after switching captaincy to Palmer from Pedro late minutes.

[Woodie]

Today decided to look at the inplay FPL points in the game between Coventry and Brighton, and after every 15 minutes noticed some players would have more points than scored because they would be awarded bonus points, then later on those points get deducted after another refresh..so am now wondering do bonus points drop while game is going on or this happens after game is concluded?? Brighton cooking Coventry on a Sunday afternoon 😋

[slackovic]

Oh man... After disaster in the BSFL, it looks like I'll have another disaster here. I have three City players and Foden just got sent off. I just can't catch a break this week

EDIT: I guess that Man United is in a worse form than I thought. I feared that City will have problems with a man down, but Haaland managed to score and Guéhi got points for clean sheets.

Btw, is there a way to see how many points certain player that I didn't have in the team got in previous rounds? I know how to see other play points in this round, but I'm not sure how to check previous rounds.
