**** that, Giovinco putting TFC on his back. I mean I know we're asking a lot for him to carry Bradley and Jozy, but his 5'4" frame can do it.

It turns out they just credit the 1k airfare as cash to your account and you have to redeem the prizes as a ticket, so I'm assuming most grinders just take the cash and don't bother. But my bro lives in LA so it's an excuse to visit.

I'll almost certainly take the MLS Cup pack as well, even if TFC doesn't get there. The likely host cities are all awesome except for Dallas .... which I could just book a work trip around anyway.

What username does your friend play under? I am usually sitting in most lobbies, I agree there is not that much soft action and there are some people who put out some great lineups.

Another break even Saturday. Just can't get "THE" line-up together, even with KdB/Aguero/Silva stack in most lineups

I don't know that he'll want his username published on 2p2. Sorry.

Its not easy to join head to head games thus, it's usually only sharps. Problem is when you click "enter more contests" you can't scroll through pages of contests to get to head 2 heads (unless im just dumb, which is very possible).

Yeah wtf is that about? I didn't realize it at first. I bet I pick up another hundred if they take it away.

I won everything today. 3/3 this weekend (don't really count early/late sat PL slates as different, just sat/sun pl/mls). I'm sure there won't be much MLS action but hopefully I can have a 4/4 weekend after basically breaking even last time.

No worries, fully understand.

The pool is quite small at the minute, hence my desire to know. There are a few people on there that put some really nice heads up lineups out there.

Small loser today, that's what you get for thinking you can help to set up your Grandma's 85th Birthday party and not have a rushed team =)

TBH out side of golden I haven't really felt there's many good h2h players. I just don't have the time or desire to spam games with majority of my focus and volume being on dk.

Thanks for your kind words dude =)

I think there is one person who I won't sit unless I don't have enough action. I don't want to say their name as it is likely that they are friends with 'heh'.

If I were in the US, I think I would be DK centric too! The prize pools are kinda crazy in comparison.

I think DK will spam the UK with tonnes of advertising and could create some really big competitions. I just am not sure the current scoring system will satisfy the UK players as it is far removed from traditional scoring methods used in UK games.

What's "UK Scoring" ??? more defensive variables like tackles, interceptions, etc?

One major difference I noticed was "Team Win Bonus". This has not figured in any game I have ever played before. The same is true for "Crosses".

In the UK, picking only 8 players would feel strange, when we have been reared on 11 man teams in newspapers (and "Play by Mail"), and 15 man squads in FPL (fantasypremierleague.com).

The more granular scoring for role based activity a la MondoGoal is fairly new and I prefer it by a wiiiide margin, to the games that are rigid and reward only basic key activities (such as FPL).

I prefer the DK scoring, to be honest. I also think DK has a very good h2h setup. It's very easy to identify and you can exclude people from joining your h2h contests at any level you prefer.
I tend to make use of that feature so I don't just have all my action snatched by people who are at the same level or better than me.
