More from European Tour on twitter...
Look out for the launch in the next couple of weeks, with the first event being the Masters! This week I took delivery of a set of Titleist 716 AP1 irons and bag for last year's efforts. They look and feel fantastic, although I haven't actually tried hitting balls with them (that's usually when things go wrong for me)! |

respect El Bandido
I managed a weekly win (2 years ago) and have also finished 2nd and 5th in weekly comps. Flirted with the leaderboard on occasions but managed to miss entering when on holiday for last 2 years..doh Going to try and give it a real good go this year |

I like the teams being hidden until tourney has started.....no copying now!! have excepted the challenge Gareth |
|
By:
El Bandido please, sewter, or EB
 Agree about the teams being hidden, that's the way it should be. Not really a fan of the other changes, but then I would say that! |
|
By:
sorry EB it is

Very poor start for me last week. Well played Mealiff!
old applejack - is that you in 5th place? Surprised you didn't do better with that team name! Trying to pick my team for Open de Espana, but I'm getting "parsererror"  Was hoping the new site would solve this kind of thing. Currently have random picks with Lorenzo-Vera as captain!  |
|
By:
Also getting parse error
I assume we stick with what we are given until fixed (maybe a good thing) kjeldsen is my captain another K !! |
|
By:
Just tried it again a bit earlier, and there was no more parse error. So I picked my team and captain/vc.
Then it took me to a page where I need to watch a video to unlock the "Cut Replacement" feature. Video keeps buffering, and eventually it aborts. On my 7th attempt now. This is taking ages just to pick my fantasy team. Jordan Spieth could have played Amen Corner and painted my spare room already! |
|
By:
none of your issues for me EB
changed teams and captain earlier and just now with no problems |
|
By:
Finally it worked!
With the Cut Replacement, you just get a random player if one of yours misses the cut (but not the Captain or VC). Seems a bit silly really. So I had to watch a video of players talking about super heroes! |
|
By:
Cut Replacement immediately into action and likely to be very busy this weekend
especially for the 71% who picked Sergio |
|
By:
Yes, but it won't replace Sergio if he's your captain or VC. Only the other 4 can be replaced.
|
|
By:
wow that was a fantastic cut replacement furelli
he could win it!! |
|
By:
Parse error :) thought that was jus me...... kept playing up all week but finally got a team settled.
Not sure how the cut replacement works..... I know I dinny pick Thomas! Not in a million years would I!! Think the capt & VC malarky are gonna be key players this season, had Joost in my team but not as one of them...... cost me a few bob POS Manager Team name Points 1 Hail the Riff 4,461,302 2 Royal Ridgeway 4,310,636 3 Furelli Sixters 3,434,960 4 scarlet_a380 3,177,325 5 Willett be enough 2,247,707 6 Desert Stormers 2,177,178 7 2015 Fantasy Race to Dubai Champion! 1,806,473 8 Bunky Henry Fan Club 1,715,983 9 ifbutandwhynot 1,058,110 |

By:
Another disaster for my Captain pick 2 weeks on trot M/C
How about showing global position of the betfair league players Would be cool to aim for inside top 1000 !! |
|
By:
dont worry too much at the moment scarlet
imo this competition will be won and lost on your captain/vice captain's performances in the forthcoming Majors the weekly comps till then are just tinkering around |
|
By:
Last year I didn't do particularly well in the majors, but fortunately none of them were won by European Tour players. Same with 3 of the 4 WGC's, and I had Lowry in the other one. This year, Willett has already slipped through the net!
I'm sticking with my gameplan. For me, Willett was not a percentage play. He wasn't among the 6 shortest odds in my book, or in the market. Some might argue otherwise, but he certainly had no business being Captain or VC. I'm continuing with my strategy of playing the percentages for now. But later in the year, if I'm still chasing, I will gamble on a few in the bigger tournaments. |

By:
cant see the positions for the other teams wrt global ranking Scarlet, all i can say is im 1297th & the leaders are about double my score currently.
|

I'm 7052

|
By:
Im currently in 3939 position
Completed a hat trick of captain picks nul point E Pepperell makes cut then withdraw gets no money? Lost me the head to head with El Bandido!! Do you have to watch the video to get the cut replacement? |
|
By:
Position 7100
Yes you have to play the video at least. You don't actually have to watch it though  |
|
By:
dropped to 724 thanks to a very average week but the prize money is low so not many big overall changes to the leaderboard
Irish Open and BMW PGA in following 2 weeks will be a different ball game |
|
By:
Wang was my captain this week so I should claw back a bit. Bigger events coming up!
European Tour also announced a new Daily Fantasy game: http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/news/newsid=293706.html |
