That nearly happened to me. Was baffled to see Lukaku line-up in defence as a left back and only to look closely again to see it is Jordan Lukaku.

Daily Fantasy can be frustrating at times. Easier to make amends in seasonal games and play a few of them still.

Getting killed today. Made my lu in 3 Min on my phone with no research. Probably shouldn't do that in the future.

Yes, just playing one entries only on the Euro qualifier's, managing high scores and not getting to cash in position. This is expected, hardly any line-up variation among the players due the nature of the fixtures.

Think Euro Qualifiers are more suited to correct score forecast and to win to nil bets. Gibraltar, San Marino and Luxembourg do oblige in this regard.

Lost of players are missing from Mondo Euro qualifiers game, for example like the whole of Switzerland's defence playing tonight except one of them (Moubandje). Hard to find any differentials to pick despite these player's scoring big points.

On the plus side most contest have filled, not that much overlay. If this carries forward to the weekend's games that will be great, will be nice to see bigger pot games in global league's ( La Liga, Ligue 1 & Serie A). Mix it up a bit with the bread and butter Premier League fixtures.

Few more games that come to mind. They could do with influx of players.

First time I play a $50 on mondogoal I was ITM but bubbled by 0.26 pts after adjustment FML.

Also Slovenia wtf are you doing? Only one shot(not on target) first half against San Marino!!

The amazing thing about Oulala is that your players scores are constantly going up and down....every second counts. This really stands out when you compare it against the scoring systems offered by other operators as shown here:

http://www.fantasyfootballportal.com...overview/c1ydh

Real time substitutions are a great feature but the time management that goes with it is a major issue with kick off times nowadays scattered all over the weekend. The game could be ideal for Tuesday/Wednesday Champions League football and the entertainment level and hands on feel is likely to be unrivalled ... if they can get the player pools.

Agreed on Oulala scoring, it very comprehensive and it is strongest feature.

Do you do the content for fantasy football portal Britton ? I like reading there and very much appreciated whoever is maintaining the site.

Thanks! I write a lot of the content while a friend of mine looks after the site itself.

We're hoping to release a free eBook in the next couple of weeks which will aim to condense a lot of the strategy articles we have written.

Any suggestions for possible improvements or new features we can add to the site itself are more than welcome.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

The scoring seems great to me, I have more affinity the more granular the scoring is =)

I think I maybe misunderstood the substitutions, is it just fancy marketing terminology for "Late Swap" or is a real time game that does require focus and management to make a substitution at the optimum time?

It's not late swap - it's real time.

If one of your players get subbed you can effectively replace him. I think there's a 1 minute delay but then the sub would score points for remaining duration of his match. Check Live Coaching 4b

that's a little too much for me.
you can't expect everyone to constantly follow all subs for entire gamedays.

Seems completely awful. Stressful and time consuming enough to do lineup **** pregame and during the games briefly if there is another game after. Would never ever want to be doing subs in real time. Part of your strategy should take into account if players are sub risks. Injuries / red cards suck but are pretty random so it's unlikely to have a bad long term affect on your picks since its an unlikely occurance .

I like dk scoring better than Mondogoal because it's easier to exploit people who don't adjust. Mg has become higher variance with the foul nerf causing player points to be a more spikey distribution vs a flatter distribution like dk.

It's important to have a dichotomy in scoring where you can take a low or high variance route. At least imo.

Great international round, despite having put Courtois in goal by mistake. Still crushed though.

Did anyone else get an email from mondo yet?

'I wanted to reach out and let you know that In the coming days we will be updating our homepage. At the very bottom right corner of that page we plan to show a "Top Winners" List. This will simply show user name and lifetime gross winnings. It will not show profit/loss/games played or any other personal information.'

Not see the email yet. Life-time gross winings leaderboard, neither here or there that being displayed. Fanteam has that from the start with a weekly and monthly winnings leaderboard.

Think making sure having no players missing en masse as it happened on Euro Qualifiers takes precedence and late swap so we can play all the weekend's fixtures in one go.

It is indeed is listed here already. From the previous season the 30k championship for the last game of the season with the biggest payouts for top 30 finishes.

Having my first proper go at mass entering teams on Mondogoal this weekend.

If anyone wants to chat nonsense about EPL DFS on Skype send me a PM, I'm obviously new but keen to learn and did well in FPL last season.

All the best for the weekend entries. How many do you want to mass enter ?

Wonder if other players have entered the full max 100 teams allowed. It is a nightmare come when team line-up's are announced to edit so many teams.

Man, I was super excited to see the $5 tourney with 5k up top on DK this weekend, then I saw the payout structure. What a joke and they lowered the guarantees on all of their smaller tourneys as well as having their 50/50s be incredibly small Other than a few 5s and 3s. Nice job DK.

We have a Twitch show that can help you out, tune in at 2pm GMT for "Rush Hour" and there will be other like-minded people there.

Thanks, will tune in.

I've made 40 line ups so far... but only entered 35 teams in the £10k. I was trying to enter each lineup but the site was being a bit slow last night. Is there a quick way to check which teams I have not entered? Very tilting.

If you're doing that many unique lineups definitely make sure you will be able to commit yourself to the full hour between 2pm-3pm tomorrow. I did 50 unique teams once and that was a stressful hour once team news came through. Especially this week post internationals, it seems like there are a fair few players who are doubtful.

MondoGoal site is generally a bit tilting unfortunately. Can't think of any quicker way than just browsing your lineups page and seeing how many entries each lineup has.
