start playing Deulofeu ffs

Gave it a shot but it says I can't build line ups because I'm registered on the .co.uk platform. Cheers though.

gone with cleverly over lennon today, guessing thats gonna be a big decision. Lennon 3 goals from 5 shots in last 6GW, and more likely to be subbed off, plus corners with cleverly when baines isn't in side.
If lennon scores GG me most likely.

Look forward to hearing updates on how paid contests are going for those giving it a go on DK for the first time. Just sticking to free-roll's and learning steadily.

I have asked if they will have desktop access before the Champions league games. Here is their response and no exact date.

It will have been fun to play paid contests on desktop for Champions league. They offering all four fixtures, while Mondo is sticking with the two on each Matchday separately.

"Desktop is on the way soon. Thanks, DKUK."

Today kinda meh all the fwd options suck

Yes, one can not play all slates. Just have to let go and play low stakes some game week's like this one today.

Having a bit of fun on the overs and unders market for this weekend.

The plus is there are some cracking matches to watch later. Starting with Juventus vs Napoli. Always nice to take a breather from Premier League. Eager to see the talent on show - Pogba, Dyabla, Insigne, Higuain all on hot form too.

Completely agree strikers wise so bad today.
Surprised u went with ruddy but guess he was dirt cheap so cancels out likelihood of a cs from Robles/courteous.

Already liked this match-up for Norwich with whm playing 120 m midweek. But Ya anytime a gk is sub 3k at home it's almost an auto start. Gks don't have a high ceiling and in a vacuum facing a shot on target is a net +ev spot so it's never "bad" to go super cheap gk anymore.

That's why I liked Everton today, wba 120 midweek and can't score at all, obv not paid off tho.
Cheers for info, I've just been looking for most likely winning gk and cs likelyhood.
Surprised u didn't take Byram or target, both stinking the place up atm but think great plays long term.

Wickham was a nice pick playing w Ade, as pulls out wide more. Not convinced of his game time or stats with being out a while.
Wp so far

Unfortunately mondo are pulling out from maryland for the moment because the state legislation has introduced a bill that might regulate dfs. I thought I was going crazy with all the teams I picked not showing up under my entries. well it was fun while it lasted. hopefully, the bill will be dfs friendly and mondo will come back.

Lol Norwich

Made 5 teams, had payet in 4, the only one i didnt was the one I had khazri in, sighhhh no double up from them!

Robles, Byram, Mutch letting me down today.

Ya payet getting there keeping me from winning piles of money. Will settle for a good 10k day tho.

Nice, good stuff, I'll take getting even after a pretty bad day. Can't believe Everton in form at home v 120 midweek WBA couldn't get it done.

Only choice left is who to replace oscar with, haz, pedro or fab.
Fab on set pieces so floor should be better. Haz should be attacking a lot, but more likely to be subbed.
Main lineups on 95 w willian/costa to go, gonna need newcastle goals most likely, i'll take a 2-2!

What is your highest score so far since starting playing there ? Also average score of all games played.

I have played four free-roll's so far, highest score is 143.50 and averaging score is 117. Early days looks like one needs 150 plus points to break even.

I dont know as can't see results which is really ****ing annoying.
ATM I've got 1 team on 120.5 with just Willian left.
1 team on 76.5 with Townsend, Willian, Costa, Haz left.
Main team on 95 w Costa & willian.
& a Flop team on 65 w Willian Haz & Pedro left.

That is unfortunate, Mondo CEO has been consistent in wanting to do business in a regulated market. I think the other sites will keep on fighting but does not look good for them.

I do find it very amazing how they resist regulation and bang on about a game of skill. Instead of accepting transparency and regulation as a way to go for sustainable long term growth.

Very short-term attitudes overall. Even Draft Kings admitted that they launched in the UK as an insurance policy just in case their home market goes fully belly up.

Have a read at this and to me this is what we call spin and double speak. It is betting and it is gambling with one's money. That is why they have to be regulated and operate with a license. Most business do exactly that.

In an interview with WIRED, DraftKings chief international officer Jeffrey Haas said that their product was mostly a game of skill, not chance, and should not be compared to straightforward betting -- even though the service has been granted a license to operate by the UK Gambling Commission.

"You’re not betting on the individual results of a club, what you’re doing is you’re using your statistical skills to understand and analyse the likelihood of individual players’ across multiple teams and multiple games and their likelihood to succeed in those games," he said. "In order to create the best possible lineup in one of our contests. You’re not actually entering a contest entry based on the results of the games, but on the results of individual players during the games, and there are millions of hypothetical combinations of players you could put to create a successful lineup."


Now to the logical summation.

The gambling license applications offer more fodder to attorneys general or lawmakers who are critical of daily fantasy, Wallach said. The Nevada Gaming Control Board said last year that DraftKings' U.K. license created an "appearance of inconsistency."

But DraftKings' and FanDuel's applications for licenses show their willingness to submit to more oversight if it means clearly operating within the law, said Marc Edelman, an associate professor of law at Baruch College who consults on fantasy sports law.

"Operating in England, or in any countries around the world where gambling is legal with a license, is probably safer for revenues," he said.

Go Figure!!!

Well this start is pleasing lol

Somehow leveled myself into fading Costa because of his nose.

Yeah what a weird day. I doubt anyone felt great today. Even Costa, who was the one easy play got interesting due to CL and broken nose. Then a bunch of meh stuff like Valencia, Afobe, Adebayor, Wickham, Jerome Diouf. Early slate was a lot easier to play than the main today cuz at least Khazri opened up more options.

Fading Payet seemed wise today but I guess I was wrong. I didn't look at any Willian-Payet combos, but Willian was clearly a better spot today if you had to pick one.

Going haz instead of oscar in late kickoff swap for oscar has cost me a **** ton, but ran amazing anyway with willian

Confirmed not.

We will have another super exciting game week 27 in two weeks with six fixture slate. Time to give the Premier League DFS a break and put in the back burner till end of Feb.

See you midweek for European contest, will dip gingerly into the paid DFS contests on DK then.

He must love the grind and gets a buzz from it.

I would have retired and put my foot up long time ago if that was me. More things to do in life than DFS if one is very profitable from it.

The dinero is a means to end, not the end itself. Each to his own I suppose. He who knows he has enough is rich observed a sage.
