I prepared terribly this week and got punished. I usually set dummy lineups, but somehow this one slipped through the net.

I promise it was not some "advanced" strategy! Just idiocy.

Giroud crossbar instead of goal cost me a fair bit, got 40th or so in mondo big GPP, thought i had a little chance when ozil assist to giroud early.
Had Giroud/Ozil/Sanchez in best team, rare Alexis lets me down!
Many people swerve KDB today?
I've taken 0 Bony, because have a feeling utd deal with ariel strikers better than fast strikers so prefer Sterling for this one...

As much as we like to play all the slates and buy-in's. Think best to ease up from time to time. There is enough games and fixtures galore over the horizon.

We think we are highly skilled enough to beat the game regularly. Then a Rakitic scoring two goals from the bench or a goalie saving a penalty last minute or Geoff Cameron being subbed for injury after 9 minutes all in a space of few days show us randomness rules and best to give it due respect.

Mondo should be happy though the H2H and high stakes filling up quick and the rake is nice return for them. Damn hard to beat the rake on these sites over the long term.

Agree let us see if the patterns continues. Away teams are doing very well so far.

The amount of people double/tripling/quadrupling up on Sunderland defenders today was staggering. I am missing something?

^ I dunno but maybe they think he's gonna recreate 2014 West Ham with Jenkinson and Cresswell launching a million crosses per game

People grossly over expose themselves to players in the early game(s) in multi ontime slot slates. Today unfortunately a bad play got there thanks to a ****ty red + peno.

Basically I hate whenever the early game has really good targets, because everyone will be on them. I absolutely love when an early game is bleh, because it is usually just insanely free money as long as crazy **** doesn't happen.

They offered league cup in previous round, so maybe they are doing site maintenance and updates. Serie A midweek games are up to play for Wed.

Just few questions I have.

1. Any one playing Draft Pot salary cap free games and how they finding it ?

2. I think Draft Pot applied for a UK licence recently. Has it been granted ? They might go live before Draft Kings in the UK.

3. Anyone played Bet4thebest yet ? How they finding it game play and also cash out from the site ?

Thanks for any info.

Not played either but it's a bit surprising that Draft Pot are going for UK without a soccer product.

Jermaine Jenas has been signed up by the Bet4TheBest as an ambassador ... would have thought whatever money he's being paid could have been put to better use on site improvements ... the rules page for instance takes some reading.

I think it comes down to which stats can be supplied by Opta.

Just seen the Serie A £1k GPP. Anyone know if this is going to become regular? Wouldn't say I know much about Serie A at the moment but happy to bet I can analyse the stats quick enough to beat Recs.

Looks like some big changes for DK Soccer.

Can't say I'm a huge fan of rolling this out without any warning. However that's purely selfish reasons as now I have to redo my whole model.

OPTA as well ...

◦Crosses = +1 PTs (via corner kick, open play, and set pieces)

Wonder what the exact definition of an open play cross will be?

Try FourFourTwo's StatZone and WhoScored ... you might have to do a bit of digging though.
