It is early season and their salary pricing is there to be exploited. It has flaws and high salary price does not mean high fantasy returns.

Look at Monreal at 10.3m and some of the defenders with lower price in bargain basement. Despite the massive price difference nearly all picked around 6-7 points for clean sheets last weekend.

Think more important is to allow us to play a full weekend fixtures and that will be fun. May be they will do if contests do not keep on filling on the 10k GPP which again looks unlikely this weekend.

Got like $40 left on mondogoal and I'm actually home for once tomorrow am so might play that **** site

Going to take the variance approach and only punt the GPPs today.

Sweat show stream donkey?

Fantasy Premier League scoring doesn't have enough diversity. At first I was annoyed by crosses, but now I appreciate the dichotomy it offers in player selection.

I think it is important to have to make choices regarding whether to go for high floors or high ceilings as opposed to just mindlessly playing cfs cause theyll essentially have the best chance of scoring goals for the most part. Since mondogoal reduced the amount of points fouls give I've found myself enjoying their scoring far far less than last season for this reason. Their scoring leads to a TON of variance especially since shots don't count, only shots on target. There is no longer any consistent way to generate steady points without scoring/assisting.

The one change I would make though is to slightly reduce crossing points, and to add in an auxiliary stat of either "tackles" (this means tackles won offensively in the form of take ons or defensively in the standard sense) or simply "ball recoveries" (when a player wins the ball back from the other team from a tackle or an interception). Both of these make sense in a positive football way and would help make more players viable (dms + cbs).

The foul nerf on Mondo seems to be costing Hazard around 1.5 points per game. Obviously he's not hitting the same heights as last season offensively either yet but I wonder what the thinking was behind the change in the first place.

Enjoy my money today boys. Didn't realize Amavi wasn't starting and put him in my lineup like 1 minute before lock.

Just read this earlier and could not agree more with. Written in the context of sports betting but can apply to DFS as well. It says:

'Recent results are mostly noise. Yet many football followers base their opinions on them. I repeat what a daft world we live in'.

Sorry to hear that and it can happen to all of us. I have to manage so many teams and do have slip-ups too. Here is the man who delivers with team news and injuries. Essential Twitter follow- https://twitter.com/BenDinnery

Slow day at the office. And I have zero Zarate shares today.

Sigh of course I pivot to mert from kosc cause I think they'll start gabriel. But it's mert that sits. Having an awful day ATM.

didn't play today but wow Vardy 74% ownership in double ups that's Ronaldo treatment.

no reason willian should have an assist, better get removed

So ****ing furious I dropped kosc for mertesacker **** no late swap

Terrible day for me too, low scoring day all round. Ran bad with Cameron going off after 9 minutes =D

Tomorrow is another day!

that day was not great

Pretty good day for me. Kos winning me some monies.

Well somehow turned a small profit despite the Amavi play. Fading Sanchez and going Giroud/Vardy worked out

Best team line up for the Saturday was on the freeroll forefeit league with a score of 101.95. Top score that will have won nearly all the big contest with buy-in's.

Arsenal top and Chelsea 11 points behind. Good days!

Yea, I agree, don't see how that's an assist. Hate all these scoring controversies lately, seems like it is happening every slate.

Does mondogoal have a referral program? Looked on their website but I don't see anything

No they have an affiliate program but haven't updated stats in months.

Three consecutive weekend's of player's hat-trick and high score of 150 plus was going to end. 35 away wins so far in the Premier League with average goals by the away team at 1.3 in contrast to 1.5 goals by the home team. 96 matches played in total with away wins coming at around 37%.

So opposing home teams in DFS games looks a good strategy to differentiate one's LU.

You have a team that scored just one point and half in total for the GPP. At first I thought it was my eyes playing tricks seeing it in the last page. Will have been amazing to see a long shot punt like that pull it off.

I should change my name to whiff mcwhiffmeister.

I did however have a LU that won around 20% of h2h matchups with a score in the 40's. That's pretty remarkable.

saw that too, players that weren't in the squads, took 5 mins trying to get my head around it guess it's just autofill somehow

Willian assist taken away has me tilt. I got owned on feghouli as well tho Willian cost me more money lol.

I can't play soccer until this is fixed. I was sweating on phone and thought willian plus giroud eeked me into making money. Instead I'm dead.

Takes all of the fun out of sweating.

I get that he didn't deserve the assist but I shouldn't have to scour Twitter to verify every single goal or assist when I'm away from TV/computer. I got slow rolled unreal. Willians score wasnt even adjusted 10 minutes after Arsenal game. Can you blame me for thinking I won money? Sigh

Sounds like a good strategy if this pattern continues ... last season's averages: home goals 1.47 away goals 1.09
