Randy Marsh Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Embarrassing stuff from me. Almost 80 points off the top already. Might have to play my wildcard this week. Think the guy in the lead has the right idea of playing just one striker. As it seems more goals are being scored by midfielders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homme Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 On 17/07/2019 at 11:21, Homme said: Hi all, there has been some interest in renewing this for the upcoming season. All the below has been copy and pasted from last year with the relevant information changed. Once again, i have sought approval from Admin who have kindly allowed us to renew the competition this year. This is your standard Fantasy Football game. £100M to spend on players with transfers available throughout the season. The rules are simple - the persons with the most points at the end of the 2019/20 season is declared the winner. Last time around we had cash prizes for the top 5 players - prizes are agreed between participants when all monies are collected. ENTRY TO THIS LEAGUE IS £5 - Prize money will be the total amount collected by the cut off date of September 14th. This gives a month after the season starts to have your entry fee in. All prize money split will be decided by entrants when it is known what the total prize pot is. The more entrants, the greater the prizes and perhaps the more places we can award prizes to. Payments can be made via paypal at [email protected] - In order to maximise the prize pot, please be careful when you send via this method. Select friends and family method and your full £5 will be received with no fees taken. Prizes will be distributed after the final game week of the season. Alternatively if you would like to send your entry fee via a bank transfer, please PM me for the details. The code to join this years competition is s91svu When sending details please include info such as your team name and JKB username. This makes it so much easier when collecting and to tell who has paid and who has yet to pay. You can sign up and select your team here - https://fantasy.premierleague.com/ - Please note that to qualify for the first gameweek and to avoid playing catch up you must have your team selected by 19:00 on August 9 If there are any questions, please give me a shout. I'll keep bumping this regularly and provide updates prize pots to provide some transparency. Hi all, Just a gentle reminder that i close the league to new entries this weekend prior to this weeks Gameweek starting. If you haven't paid then it's £5 sent to the paypal above or PM me for alternative ways to pay. I will tidy up the league over the weekend or Monday (more likely Monday as moving house on Friday!) and those who haven't paid will be removed from the league in the interests of fairness. Thanks to everyone who has joined so far. It's always a great competition. Next week i will publish the prize pot total and we can decide on how the money should be split between the top few. Cheers!

Saved me from a honking season last season yet I still managed to get half the number of points due to poor captain choices. I've had a bad start this season, been quite busy. I've considered a wildcard but feel my team still has some potential to hit a few hauls. I'm planning 3 transfers this week for a -4, Bernardo Silva out, security of starts was his appeal in pre-season especially with Sane out, he's only started 2 games in the first 4 and the Champions League is coming up now so I'm getting rid for now. Perez has been disappointing, plays 3 of the top-6 in his next 4, he'll be gone. Rashford was brought in for Vardy to help fund Pukki, that was a failure, Vardy scored 24 points after I got rid of him. I think Rashford is one of Man United's best fantasy options but they are in terrible form, they have a nice run of fixtures after the Liverpool game, he might be back after that. The three I'm looking to bring in, De Bruyne, it could be a risk because of the European games coming up but when he plays, he scores points, he's averaged 9 points a game so far. Cantwell from Norwich, he'll be a bench option but has a good run of fixtures after Man City. Lastly Haller, he's had 9 shots in his 3 games, all in the box, 6 of which were in the 6-yard box, West Ham have Anderson, Lanzini and Yarmolenko feeding him, I think he's a good option in that price range.

hueyview Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Taking the option of making several transfers this week, with the Free Hit one week changes. Abraham, Aguera, and Vardy upfront, with Sterling and Salah hopefully chipping in goals. Noticeable the Defenders and Goalies are not contributing a great deal in points. Be nice to go up the league:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homme Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Manic weekend moving house for me but I've closed the league to new members and will tidy it up very soon, removing those that hadn't paid and confirming received entry fees for our prize pot.

hueyview Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Had to make additional changes this week. I notice Liverpool v Chelsea is on the same time as the Edinburgh derby on Sunday..... Which to watch for goals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statto Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 158 points in my last 2 weeks after the 4 point hit. Up into the top 200k from a 2.2m rank. I've got 2 free transfers for next week. I was considering a triple transfer for a 4 point hit, but one of the players dropping out would be one Pukki or Cantwell, Norwich are home to Villa next week and look to be a completely different team at home, they've scored 8 in 3 at home and only 1 in 4 away. After that they have Bournemouth away, Man U at home then Brighton away. On paper they look like good fixtures but not if they can't score away. I think it will be a good time to drop one of them. This week, I'm looking at Aubameyang and Yarmolenko for Salah and Haller. Arsenal don't play any of the top-6 for 9 games, Lacazette will be out for a few more games, Aubameyang should be starting as a centre forward. West Ham have good fixtures for the next 5, 3 of them at home, Yarmolenko has scored 3 in the last 4 and has had 8 shots inside the penalty area this season, more than any other West Ham player. For the following week, I'm looking at Vardy, Abraham, Mount or Tielemans for Pukki or Cantwell. Leicester and Chelsea have a nice run of fixtures and both look like they can score goals.

hueyview Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Continue to tinker with forwards/attacking midfield. Chosen Aubameyang, Abraham and Firminho up front. Hard to invest in Man City goalscorers as there seem to be so many in that team taking turns to score... Du Bruyne looks to be out with an injury...... Another forced transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I haven't changed my mind on my transfers this week, still set on Yarmolenko and Aubameyang. If de Bruyne is ruled out for this weekend, I'll probably go with Mahrez. I'd imagine Fernandinho will be centre back, B.Silva could be banned, I don't know if Man City are appealing the charge or whether it starts this weekend, that wouldn't leave much room for rotation for Mahrez, unless they go Jesus and Aguero in the same team or Foden gets a start in the middle. Mahrez has 42 points from his 4 starts but does have three 1 point cameo appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I could actually do Salah, Cantwell and Haller to Mahrez, Yarmolenko and Aubameyang. It let's me keep de Bruyne if he's returning straight after the International break. Press conferences tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vansen Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Actually having a decent season so far, hovering just outside top 50,000.

Statto Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Played my wildcard this week. Decided to go triple Leicester, triple Man City, triple Chelsea, double Sheffield United defence and Jimenez. I have Vardy who scored a hat-trick and my three City options all got attacking returns. I played Lundstram over Rico and Soyuncu who both got clean sheets. I picked Hudson-Odoi because he's owned by far less managers than Mount and he's playing further forward than him, but he's starting on the bench this evening. I've went for the more expensive McGinn as my 5th midfielder option because I have a number of rotation risks in my midfield, basically all of them, Sterling, KDB, D.Silva and CHO. I'd usually go with a 4.5m player for a player I'd never play but I think if you have 2 or 3 Man City players in your squad, I think it's worth investing in a player that could get you more than 2 points when he comes in. I'm considering bringing Martial in for D.Silva for GW12, City have Liverpool and Chelsea, Man United have Brighton, Sheffield United and Villa, Martial should be back in the team by then and playing up front, it could be a good move.

hueyview Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Three players got hattricks last Saturday... luckily got one, so back up the table a bit.... was in danger of falling out of the top 50. Had returned to the nucleus of my initial selected team after, forced injury changes. Man City and Chelsea luck good for goals this Saturday. Ten out of my first eleven selections all play on Saturday.... Quite a change... Onwards and upwards...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Split looks good to me too. Paying a few places gives folk a prize to chase right up to the end (well not me - I need to get in the top 20 first! 😡). We did a winner takes all at work a few years back and a guy ended up having a stormer of a season. He was about 200 ahead of everyone else by Xmas. Good on him, but it was a bit pish for everyone else when there was nothing to play for half a season.

Homme Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Hi folks, I meant to post this out earlier but just forgot so apologies. We obviously have almost £300 in a pot sitting in my paypal account and the season is still in limbo. If we finish the season somehow or some way then great but in the event of a void season I just want to make sure everyone (or a majority) are happy with what we do with the cash. I see three options which are:- 1. Payout on current positions. 2. Donate the money to a charity. Big Hearts or perhaps charities named by the players in payout positions? 3. Roll the money over into next seasons competition. Can I please have opinions or alternatives ideas from some of you? It might be hard keeping everyone happy but it's not my place to make a decision myself. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
