What idiot got MoSe involved? - Fantasy Premier League 15/16

[Walrus Feeder]

I was glad Moreno played for Liverpool i was fearing he would be rotated for the upcoming Chelsea game when there's less chance of a clean sheet. Good to see Sanchez score, especially as i went to the game!

this DGW is far less rewarding so far,... we have quite different lineups so it could still go either way.... (which is not what I had planned/expected)

Focusing on our title race only, canceling out same players:
Walrus: Payet, Rojo, DDG, Defoe, Coutinho
MoSe: Antonio, Smalling, Deeney, Cathcart, Gomes, Lukaku, PVA, Mannone, Firmino, 2*Hazard

glad for Martial brace, after fearing he'd miss both games
but we had him both, so no change
good getting some points from Payet too, but you had him Captain, so you gained

so I went from -12p to -15p to -19p now

my BB should yield its rewards tonite, with 10 scores to come in (9 players + C bonus)...
although I can't say whether I'll bag as little as 12p, or a jackpot 50p from them

we both play Moreno, the rest are all different:
Walrus: +19p +Defoe, Coutinho
MoSe: 2*Hazard, Firmino, Lukaku, PVA, Mannone, Deeney, Cathcart, Gomes

Costa ruled out
http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest...--two-out.html
but that will only affect Debaser defending 5th place from EiF comeback

Sturridge (and all Liv here) and Pedro will start, no subs for Funko
Aké on the bench, +1p sub for novacane unless he gets in later

A very interesting league race!
Good luck to us all, and may the best win

Walrus kept improving his rank regularly, while my navigation of the DGW/BGW has been a rollercoaster!
a spike, a sheer fall, now an incredible GR 202 in the 2nd DGW
Walrus himself had an excellent GW, with his 3rd best GR in the season., but I gained 40p, from -12p before the GW, to -19 during it, to +28 in the final day

Of course nothing is sealed yet, as Walrus misclicked/forgot to deploy his TC on Sanchez 25p in GW34, passed it now too (Payet 12p) and he has it still available now.
I presume he'll play it on Sanchez(AVL), but it could also be Martial(BOU) or Kane(new). In any case he'll have an advantage for the final sprint and chase.

That was some cracker of a week you had. I was thinking of bringing Van Aanholt in but chose Cresswell instead. I really need a great last week wit my Triple captain to get a minimum double figure (before tripling) With Arsenal home to Villa there could be a thrashing on the cards especially if there's an early goal but difficult to rely on any of the 'big clubs' dishing out huge wins this season. I do recall years ago when Arsenal beat some team 7-2 or something like that on the final day and someone in one of my leagues jumped from nowhere to 1st with Pires as captain after he scored 4 and got 2 assists or something mad like that. Whatever happens it's been a fun season and my best for a few years i think.

[Funko]

Gah, the whole year was a struggle a brief positive blip near the end thrown away and ended all leagues about the place I'd spent most of the year.

[MoSe]

Thank you all for the FPL season

Congrats Walrus for your continued challenge and improving performarce,
your best FPL ranking in 5 seasons!
A long chase, then several lead changes in the end, thrilling and entertaining

a pity the last 3-4 gws saw novacane and Funko lose a couple hundred Ks
Hopefully next season Beta, Fist and Bas might carve some more time and keep some interest alive to manage their teams thruout the season and not leave them dead

maybe next week I'll table/chart CG League Monthly/Quarterly records too

[MoSe]

both my seasons had a similar development
this time I ended to almost halve my rookie season final ranking,
althoug up until before the cracking DGW37 BB I wasn't even sure yet I could match it!

[Fistandantilus]

I forgot my FF password and could not make changes to my team.

[Fistandantilus]

Also I find it disturbing that you didn't start a fantasy euro one. The shame.

[MoSe]

it's not me usually starting games or CG leagues here...

I'm in http://eurofantasy.uefa.com/en/fantasy16/
usual crap McDonald WC games interface and rules
joined the Fiso league
Had a bad round 3, then yesterday I captained Dier instead of Giac

[Fistandantilus]

Had a horrible Rd 3 tooo.. I thought Croatia and Spain were going to do good, boy I was wrong

And Alli was my captain

[MoSe]

btw welcome back Fist, howdy?
hope you're thriving, except for your pwd memory
(don't they have a "did you forget your password?" thingy? )

[Fistandantilus]

Getting old apparently You? All fine?

The psw recovery system assumed the mail I registered from was still working and not a temporary one I created on the fly while registering

And now the site is on maintenance it seems

[MoSe]

yeah, but for a few days, if you still have the links, it lets you access your team/leagues without logging in, should you want to review the season
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/my-...955/standings/

PL starts Aug 13, I expect FPL to open mid July at latest

BTW

email reply to FFS member:

We can confirm that the Ultimate game will not be running during the 2016/17 season.
As part of a major overhaul of the Premier League’s digital properties,
we’re focused on rebuilding and improving the free to play Fantasy Premier League game in advance of the new season.
So while UFPL may return in the future, it will not be available this August.

[MoSe]

rumours it might become like Daily Fantasy
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.u...mment_13481265

[Fistandantilus]

I've no idea what Daily fantasy is... I'm assuming is bad?

[MoSe]

I've no idea myself, try checking Draft Kings
something you need to follow everyday, with no planning, succesful gaming market in UK to milk online followers

[Fistandantilus]

Oh my...

no longer available
past season lniks now land you on the new FPL theme and layout, past season data gone
For now it's just a Coming Soon page, lime green and dark purple, like Wimbledon on acid.
Some find it horrbile, still better than the undistiguishable FFFix pastel colors, as long as the functionality works, I can adapt to that

[Fistandantilus]

Keep us updated, master.

[MoSe]

Sanchez, Firmino, J.Ayew, Pedro, J.King, Walcott, Lens, Depay (?), Ibe, Schlupp (!), Arnautovic, Sterling,
all listed as FWD who were MIDs, Schlupp was a DEF even!

[MoSe]

btw this season I thnk I'll change Regretful Monkeys AC to WalkalonE XI Team

WATCHING: You'll have to wait to pick Jamie Vardy for your team

THE decision to put information on the launch of Fantasy Premier League 2016/17 season on one of the site's obscure corners has led to accusations that organisers are 'amateur'.

The world's most popular fantasy football game - which last year attracted more than 3.3m entries – officially launches during the week starting July 18.

But getting to that information has been frustrating for some fans, who have been left refreshing the official site fantasy.premierleague.com due to vague information on the home page.

The site announces 'check back here during July' – yet the official date is only available by clicking on the 'contact us' page on the site, which brings up 'related FAQs' when you select the Fantasy Premier League section.

The obscurity of the information, as well as the delay, has led to some asking why it could not simply be on the home page.

The site has also completed a cosmetic change to fall in line with official new Premier League branding

[Fistandantilus]

Mobile App = shitloads of bugs

[MoSe]

registration open

FPL ID 1237

I advise turning color off
all last season features appear to be still there, javascripts will have to be rewritten tho

it does NOT work on IE8 (my company PC which I can't upgrade)
works fine on Chrome, and on my android IE

[Funko]

It's REALLY fast.

[Funko]

I think they've done a 1 page frontend.

[MoSe]

Counterglow League renewed!


mayube we can have a new season topic, with the league code for anyone new to join in, and some brexit pun as thread title?

[Funko]

THIS STARTS TOMORROW I HAVE NO IDEA WHO TO HAVE IN MY TEAM> ARGH

[Fistandantilus]

I mostly picked at random myself

[Walrus Feeder]

Wow, leading the table after only 6 games. Not bad at all. Still plenty of potential squad changes going through my mind though for the forthcoming weeks.

[MoSe]

well done Walrus, you had me worried there!

thanx all

[Walrus Feeder]

Yeah pretty good season for me overall but awful Gameweek 37 compared to lots of other people. 15pts for Hazard as Triple Captain was terrible and Bench Boost the week before only got me an extra 4pts. Dropped from about 16,500th to 61,539 in last few weeks.
