Most transfered in player Gyokeres on the bench

Does this site to a World Cup fantasy league? I’m sure I’ve never done one through them. If they do I will set a league up. If not it may have to be The Sun version if we want a game. I know The Sun offends quite a few on here. We don’t need to know why or your thoughts on the owner, editor etc!

Fifa are supposed to be doing one.

I'd guess they load it when squads are all announced

But not there yet.

Nice one.

Would that be a first?

The problem with the fifas one are you can change captains players etc and no early deadline , so unless you are online at kick offs and during the night you have a massive disadvantage and not much chance as the others will have usually 3 chances of a good captain , always give them a miss

Pretty sure they did one last time

That is very true Mr straw.

It's very proactive, like ucl fantasy.

Will have to look near the time.

Another one to keep an eye on

Sounds like nearly exactly same format as ffl
but no idea if it's free or whatever...

Fifa one has been going since 2006 , last time it was the captains that caused a lot of confusion as the rules were not clear as to whether you could change captain after every game or every day , they have a power captain chip as well , whoever scores most points in that game week is your captain .

Yeah you can stick with your captain or change him if you are not satisfied.

Potentially change each day, as games are spread out, but can't go back once a captain is discarded, until next game week.

Power captain saves a lot of grief.

Put krupi on bench, of course he scores, rayan or krupi

Team selection this week is going to be very testing.

Arsenal have won the title and been on the ****. Their game is meaningless.

City have lost the title so their game is also meaningless but it is Pep's last match.

Villa, already guaranteed Champions League football next season, have just been on the **** in Turkey.

Chelsea can't improve their league position but they have a new manager watching.

United, guaranteed Champions League football, can't improve their position.

Then we have players selected for the World Cup not wanting to get injurey.

Chelsea can improve their place and need a win to guarantee europe unless brentford overtake on goal difference which is unlikely , might even get europa league if other results go their way

There's going to be lots of fantasy teams with only 5 or 6, 7 players playing, unless you've got multiple transfers left or happy to take a few hits and then try to get all players in from meaningful games even then there's going to be an element of guesswork involved.

Burnley v Wolves the wooden spoon trophy , i suppose they will be trying to avoid last place and i think its 2 million a place
also doubt it would look good for the fans players resting after the season they have had

Looks like Man City are resting a lot today , Haaland O'Reilly and Cherki not starting , some teams will have a lot of players not playing with the Arsenal players out as well as other rotation

Yep, my bench boost is rather wasted.

Bit like the whole season,.. Hey ho,.. Next year!

Lots of players are mad , site crashed with about 3 minutes to go . there will be a few leagues lost over that

You've got to assume the site will crash with minutes to go with potentially millions all hitting it at once, expert FPL Harry et al getting caught out isn't a good look.

They all seem to have been waiting for the Arsenal team , Arsenal team is no regular plays which was not a surprise

Agreed, Arsenal are on the brink of of history with the game next week, no problem for a fantasy player starting one of their regulars for a free shot providing you have a starter ready and waiting on your bench but there is no realistic chance of an Arsenal regular being anywhere near starting today.

At a quick glance, this looks like very tight between Stew and Conor. Anyone totted up the automatic subs and bonus points? Good luck to you both. Could be a point or two in it.

Well played all. Dayveea had a blinder for his first attempt (seem to think that’s right?).

Roll on next season. Everyone welcome aboard.

Tribal looks to have won it by about 10 points and I may have nipped stewpot by a point for 2nd but that's subject to change with the possibility of Porro losing his defcon/bonus points

Didn’t even look at your tally, I thought you were too far back! His shrewd substitution outshone your two dodgy ones!

Would be some forecast for you both if you have nabbed first and second.

VAR ruled out a Foden goal but I had him sweating for a while, lots of 1.01 backers on Stewpot done their dough today though

I saw that VAR, was just offside. Seems like a lot of shrewdies were making late transfers once team news was either announced or leaked.

Thanks kenbo it was indeed my 1st attempt; I seemed to fair better when I didn't put too much thought into it

It was a brilliant attempt for your first go. You’ll have to prove it wasn’t a fluke next season now!

Challenge taken

I reckon BB held a top 4 spot every week

Was Conor ever top this season, and if so was it for long?

Beginners luck only time will tell

What happened with the leader ? , captain haaland vice saka and no transfers made

It cost him big time.

Conor hit the front briefly a couple weeks back for the first time this season.

I won my cups, but only had 10 players, so bench boost
was wasted.

Would have been good had city beaten bournmouth

I was loaded with arsenal and city players 1 point
from 5 players today!!!

Lesson learnt

Stewpot has just nipped back past me as Hill has just been awarded an extra defcon from 9 to 10 getting him 2 points

Well done, Conor. Stew didn’t put up a final day fight so may have done himself out of top spot. Unlucky to finish outside the places in The Big One.

Stew pipped by four points in The Napster League too!

Well done Tribal a worthy winner
some good chasing performances as well

I wont go into detail but ended up at 2.15 without internet access
whats more the other league I play in is for real money went from 1st to 3rd
Couldnt believe how badly wrong it went, sleepless night
Saka & Pedro out ..... & all options incoming Palmer Bowen etc scored
Just feels like 38 wasted weeks
see you all next season

Surely he must have forgot , he must have had at least 1 free transfer and haaland was known to be out an hour before .

Ok unlucky with internet going down at 2.15 , but it is leaving it late , and vice should never have been on saka really , haaland cherki and o'reilly were known to be out about 1.30

Secretly I was too busy laying all that 1.01 ............ If only that were the case

Unlucky stewpot, been there done that.

Ouch, Stew. That’s a sickener, especially on the paid entry one.

Well done on the second half league, Atkins Allstars.

Sorry Droopy, Didn't notice you caught me for a joint 9th spot in the 2nd half league..


I have a feeling Droopy and me will produce a more serious challenge next season...

I'll be joining a world Cup DT soon, probably less than 8 entries... (£25ish) I will start a new thread if anyone's interested..

Also, If the "Big One" is running a World Cup DT, I'll post those details too... Bad luck Tribal.. (just outside the cash)

Well done Tribal a worthy winner and a victory for research, dedication and most importantly, preparation!!

I am biased mind you, but I think that's fair.

Well done to all players who kept going right to the end, good or bad.

Looking forward to next season.

I will be up for any paid entry ones, Emit.

Good to see his research and preparation has paid off. Perhaps you’d better show him how the horse form works…..That soon dent his enthusiasm! Nowt more soul destroying than going through the form and still finding loser after loser!

Yeah, I've perfected finding loser after loser on the gee geez, it's a piece of cake

The most obvious multi team player , the lowest score possible is -2812 , the 2 lowest players have -2795 each , they are the same player with 2 teams , how sad is that , both teams messed up the same week and only did a -60 and both had 1 player somehow score 1 point so they didnt even manage the worst possible score even though it is very easy to do , just pick 15 players that are transfered out to other leagues etc and then just do 20 transfers each week .

Cheers guys, I benefitted from Stewpot missing deadline but if he'd had vice captained Bruno early he'd have still clinched 1st. Unlucky though.

Overall was surprised, didn't expect to make up the gap. It could have been any of the 4/5 leaders who clinched it, was very tight.

Cheers Emit for the info on The Big One League.

Well done Dayveea for a great first season.

already got a plan for next season; whether or not it comes to fruition is another question though

The fifa game has just launched , https://play.fifa.com/fantasy/team

Well done Tribal, and all those who played along!

1st for me in the 2nd half table, but 7th in the overall. I'll be back next year to win back the title. No more trying to be super different when the league starts

WORLD CUP FANTASY!!!

https://play.fifa.com/fantasy/join-league/B53W4JHL

I will pick a team at the weekend, Lifter. Nice one.

cheers my intention is to join.

Separate to that Fanteam (for anyone that isn't aware of them) are doing £1 £10 and £100 games for the WC.  The rake is 16%.  There will prolly be sign up offers.  I've used them for a while (only for Eurovision, Euros and WC) and can vouch for them.  B365 use their software now and presume their customers go into the pot.  Sportsbook is pants but that's not why you'd use them.

I did come close in the the 2021 Euros.  My top team was about 10th out of 35,000 entries (top prize was £200k then and the prizes exceeded the take because then they trying to build interest) before the semi finals and had made the strategic move to pick Spanish and Danish players (which was right because nearly everyone else in the top 30 went Italy/England and no one else went Spain/Denmark)  It was so hard to know who to pick with Spain, whereas the other 3 teams you could virtually pick the line up.  Alas I dropped from 10th to 690th, but what might have been had the semis gone the other way.

England vs New Zealand, is this fantasy football? Geographically different, skill-wise different.

RE: The Big One..

The young man running this competition has decided not to bother in future..

That’s a shame, Emit.

I’ve autopicked a team just to join the league. Will toy around at some point and try and suss it out.

I can’t see the rules for the FIFA game. Can find how points are scored but not how many transfers are allowed during the tournament. I assume it’s a fixed number?

Could do with a few more players joining. There’s only four of us so far!

There's a rumour going around... The Sun will be uploading a Dreamteam tomorrow...

They’ve left it a bit late!

It's what I'm told and tbh.. feels a little too late to be true... We'll see.

CHEERS KENBO

Five entrants. Not nearly enough. Come on, get your teams entered!!!

Don't think so Emit

They do have a predictor type game though, free to play

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/39234414/world-cup-2026-bracket-challenge-predict/

OK I've entered a team.  Is it for money or glory?

Just bragging rights, mate.

Eight in now. Nice one. Would be nice to get double figures.

Has anyone seen how many transfers you’re allowed during the tournament? I still haven’t been able to find out.

https://play.fifa.com/fantasy/help/guidelines , its all there under transfers

Pre-tournament     Unlimited
Before start of Matchday 2     2 transfers
Before start of Matchday 3     2 transfers
Before start of Round of 32    Unlimited
Before start of Round of 16     4 transfers
Before start of Quarter-finals     4 transfers
Before start of Semi-finals     5 transfers
Before the Final     6 transfers

They are the free transfers , additional transfers cost 3 points

Cheers, MSM. Only four transfers before the last32 sounds good to me. Probably too many for my liking after that. Nineteen plus an unlimited phase.

Pretty sure The Sun did 15 transfers last WC. Iliked that. Nearly everyone is gonna have a full team come the final here.

Am I in?

No.

That was pointless.. frozen out of the first round..

When did you enter a team? After the first game?

Don't forget to change your captain

When did you enter a team? After the first game?   3pm today..

Don't forget to change your captain.. 

Far too late then! You had plenty of time.

Picked Kimmich instead of Havertz as captain so need to keep rolling the dice

That was pointless.. frozen out of the first round..

Obviously.. Sometimes I just don't think.. 

If we’ve all got a week head start on you then surely I can’t finish last!

That's the second time I've subbed in a player only to realise afterwards he's not in the starting line up
