So basically you want to strive to be the 4th best player in any sport so you can block all the 3 better players than you, and not be blocked by everyone else. It's pretty ****ing stupid and blocking should just be removed (the matchup limiter is a fair compromise).

But ya if you do well pros will generally stop trying to scoop you. The ideal situation for pros is having a diverse set of opponents so they dont end up in a situation where losing vs one person won't tank their weekend. Currently every game week for me hinges on beating maxdalury since he's the only person that will give a ton of action, thankfully I have a massive win rate vs him, however he did put a big hurting on me last UCL.
Yeah I figured Pros would kind of bully and battle for control of the lobby like that with the Head to Head action. Not that I have a problem with it, I understand it will be a 'kill or be killed' environment.

Yeah that sucks about blocking the top 3 players, then the rest of the top 10 Pros are free to play everyone. Suppose being the best comes with a price. While browsing online I seen some Fish complaining about Pros bumhunting them via the private msg / private invite to a contest type thing. They were complaining about Pros spamming them with tons of these.

I think they should allow recs to block Pros from spamming them like this so they dont leave the site but they might to re-assess this block the top 3 players regime.

Didnt know maxdalury played the DFS soccer dont think I have bumped heads with him yet. Well if you have a good winrate vs him and you have been bumhunting other pros ill be assuming you are one of the top bosses of the soccer world.

I think blocks for joining games should be removed but just keep allowing blocks from Ppl sending you requests to play cause that's annoyibg

After you go to set up your head to head match. Tap public. It then displays the entry fees for your contest.

Naturally you batter right in and select the $ amount you want to play for. Before you do this, scroll right down to the bottom of the app and tucked underneath the $10,600 maximum stake level is an option:

Opponent Limit: Unlimited

Tap that and set how many times you will allow someone to play you.
Thanks loads for this, i had no idea!

The big question for me is how long joined prize pools will continue. Mondo have now moved out of most of the states in the US where there is legal problems. Their Italian site is ring fenced by Italian law for players from Italy only, so we can not play there or have joined prize pools.

So I am guessing we better enjoy the novelty while it lasts. As when all the legal issues are settled. DK and FD might have to segregate prize pools per country.

UK's gambling regulation & licence is quiet liberal and seem to have no problem with joined prize pools. So no worries about the market being ring fenced to UK players only.

I had the max tickets (10). If tickets are limited and you can only satty in you will always want the max (cost me 800usd to win ~3k+ usd worth of tickets). Honestly having some dead rubber games are way better for fantasy than all highly contested games, tends to be more scoring, and more edges available if you do your research (<3 walcott).
Yes, you do have one or two teams going out all blazing in their final home game infront of their fans. Last season was Arsenal and Stoke. With Newcastle defence cheap as chips and keeping clean sheets.

Who could forget Man City fans streaming out and thinking they lost the title ? For Senor Aguero to intervene in very dramatic fashion. The fans clambering over the fence to come back was well funny. It ain't over till it is all over.

I am willing to play head to head on European leagues - Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga etc... Comfortable with my knowledge and homework for each game week. But hardly anyone touches them.

It is mainly Premier League action and do not see the attraction of playing head to head with a slim edge if any with players & their fat bankroll. On Mondo the head to head is a joke as only one person posts sometimes up to the 6k worth of games. Either the person is super confident or more likely he has a fat bankroll that can afford to take a hit and also their ridiculous high rake on these games.

DK looks full of experienced players and will be eager to know the percentage in retention of new players. Already seeing all the hard-core players from the UK there too as expected.

I asked them on Twitter and they replied just coming soon. App is great for checking score and swaps. But not best for making teams before contests.

Guessing the UK site is more primed for next season and their opening looks very much a rushed job. Enjoying playing UCL contests over two days and swap option. Feels a novelty.

Good luck to all on Mondo's insane salary prices for two day slates. Wednesday fixtures and salary is slightly better.

Deposit on PayPal has gone fine. In time will be great to see Skrill and Neteller added as they are superior e-wallet options.

I like this champions league slate, with the best players Lewa, Messi, Suarez, Neymar all being away v reasonable oppos - Juv/Arsenal it makes it very interesting in if you have faith in these players, or think they're overvalued and avoid. Hopefully means a lot of different teams.
Couple of players look pretty nailed on to be massively owned tho

Hi everyone, I've just signed up here after playing Fantasy Football for a while now. Mostly enjoying Mondogoal and FantasyBet, but hope to get more involved in Draftings when the web version is released. Have any of you guys had success on the app so far?

Rejoice, Mondo players. Instead of wondering what exposure to have on Messi, like DK players boringly will, we can wonder what exposure we want on Coquelin. Exciting!

Not sure we have a choice having briefly looked at the salaries earlier!
Managed to carefully fade Mikel last week and ofc he ended up scoring!

Same has happened to me this week (could get them last week).

I assume masking your location so that you look like you're in the US would work, although for now I've just emailed Support to see if they can send them to me.

Edit: here are the UCL and EPL ones which I've added to Dropbox for any other UK people having trouble with this:

They're on every week so I presume so, doesn't mean they they're all good though, the guy in the red always seems to have awful picks and seems to go with more hopeful picks than ones that are stats based like the other two normally go for.

Is it against the DK T&C for a site to save historic scoring data? I'd love to get my hands on soccer player points on DK since the OPTA switch, but it only appears to be available by copy/pasting on individual players, and then only for the last ten games.
