English Football 2016-2017: NOW WITH 100% LESS FANERIO - Page 209 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

joke trophy update - swansea's starting eleven had squad numbers adding up to 340 more than the attendance

and apparently it goes straight to pens, despite being a group stage. in unsurprising news, we still can't take penalties

The fans are obviously impressed with the new format:

Bolton 0 Everton 2 - attendance 1,540
Fleetwood 1 Blackburn 0 - attendance 392 (lol Venkys)
Bury 4 Morecambe 1 - attendance 1,154
Blackpool 2 Cheltenham 0 - attendance 760
Oldham 4 Carlisle 5 - attendance 1,897
Accrington 0 Crewe 3 - attendance 585

To be fair, that Oldham game was probably quite exciting

While we're on FPLAIDS I'm quickly remember why I don't do this ****.

So if I buy low on a player and his value goes up I'm forced to sell on his low price then buy him back on his high price? Like I see Aguero is 13.1 to buy atm (which will obv drop soon) but if I transfer him out it's only 13.0 that I get? Coutinho 8.2 but I can only sell for 8.1, Hazard 10.2 but can only sell for 10.1? But then donks like Callum Wilson who I bought for 6.5 and dropped to 6.4 I only get 6.4 for selling? **** is wack

you sell for half the profit. So if you bought at 13.0and he was trading at 13.2 now, you'd be selling at 13.1. Basically he needs to go up by 0.2m for you to see a benefit.

So selling a guy then buying him back is generally going to cost you money (unless his value collapses, which Kun's might well in this case)

I found last year life in fpl was so much easier when you gave yourself extra Sal in the bank. I think sal optimization isn't as important as people make it out to be since it changes every week and the value of flexibility in week to week transfers is > to maximize fixture edge.

I just never really understood why you only get half the profit. I like rewarding the players for getting their picks right so that bigger team budget caps are being created and you can make more of a difference.

For example the people who had mahrez to start with last season will feel that they weren't rewarded enough for the amazing pick and they didn't gain as much value on non-mahrez owners as they could have because it's very easy to adjust and pick mahrez once he starts scoring goals

I agree. I guess discouraging the market-playing aspect to focus on on-field action would be the simplistic explanation, but it reduces the strategy value of the game.

Moved to Rangers long after the European ban on English clubs ended and arguably at his peak.

It absolutely wasn't his peak though. Gazza was already on the way out when he went to rangers.

These ignoramuses think goals in Scotland mean the same as in decent leagues.

I can't imagine that anyone is going to be seeing those funds. He hasn't logged in for a week. I don't know how much it is that is owed but it must be less than $1k and it has been outstanding for over three months.

We should ask Bertie whether hes a thief yet or how long do we have to wait to find out

Having had multiple experiences like this, I'd say its very likely the money is gone

My suggestion is that we make a booking in cashy's restaurant for 3 people (the 3 winners of IKTS), they then proceed to order food for exactly the same amount as the prizepool and leave the restaurant without paying the bill

Obviously before leaving they should write "pay back is done" on their bill

How about not getting paid your IKTS winnings because the chef that is holding them is simply TOO BUSY to cough up?
