Looks like it's back up. Are you able to renew the FH Leagues, @caLLous?

Seems they've added a couple of things this year. I'm assuming they've still got the unlimited transfer wildcard as before, but there's three new wildcards:

• 'All Out Attack' - Allows you to play a 2-5-3 formation next game week
• 'Triple Captain' - Captain get triple points rather than double next game week
• 'Bench Boost' - The points scored by your players on the bench are included in your total next game week
• 'Fuck Off, Vae' - Vae gets zero points in the next game week to give the rest of us a chance

Okay, so maybe just the first three are real. Will be interesting to see what difference they make.

 

[caLLous]

Yep, I'll look at renewing the leagues later on.

 

[caLLous]

Ok, the classic league is renewed and I made a new Head to Head because it looks like you can't renew those...

League                     Code
Freddyshouse 2015-16       166629-44727
Freddyshouse 2015-16 H2H   166629-44734

Nobody tell @Vae, though, ok?

(belated congratulations for last season by the way, as if there was ever any doubt)

 

[Trem]

Some changes to the wildcard. First one can be played up until 28th December, 2nd one can be played anytime after that until end of season iirc. Can you confirm @caLLous?

 

[caLLous]

It looks that way.

Name             Effect
All Out Attack   Allows you to play a 2-5-3 formation in the next Gameweek.
Bench Boost      The points scored by your bench players in the next Gameweek are included in your total.
Triple Captain   Your captain points are tripled instead of doubled in the next Gameweek.
Wildcard         All transfers (including those already made) in the Gameweek are free of charge.

These are called chips, you get 1 each of the first 3 for the whole season and 2 wildcards (one to be used before 28 Dec 14:00 and one after). You can only play one chip in a single gameweek so you can't do any of the 3 new things and play a wildcard for transfers in one week.

 

[Raven]

Sounds interesting. Hopefully I can remember to maintain my team. Last time I played every week I did pretty well.

 

[Lakih]

I'm in again. Thanks for the reminder.

 

[Ormorof]

Is there an official app? Using webby on phone sucks ass

 

[Raven]

I had a look and there doesn't appear to be one unfortunately.

Edit, it looks there was one for last season but I don't think it was official and got bad reviews.

 

[caLLous]

I used Fantasy Football Manager last season and it worked perfectly when I needed it to (I still did most of my FF stuff on a PC, mind). It has 4.4 out of 5 stars with +11k votes, they've already updated it for this season with strips and stuff and the new "chips" are being introduced in the next update.

 

[Ch3tan]

back for the new season !

And room in the h2h league even though I'm late, win!

 

[caLLous]

Looks like Baines is out for 3 months. Looking at Everton's first 10 or so fixtures though you'd be some sort of madman to pick an Everton defender.

 

[Raven]

I am just going to have to force myself to leave it alone now. Changed the team 3 times this morning.

 

[MrBic]

Great.. had curtois as keeper.. terry as captain.. well thats this season done then

 

[caLLous]

Don't be silly. You're a Liverpool fan aren't you? There lots more disappointment in store for you.

 

[Raven]

I hate football...

Have a few playing today but can't see me breaking 30 points this week.

 

[Billargh]

Thank God for this guy.

 

[Shagrat]

14 points so far, although 6 of my team are playing today. Which probably means that by the end of today I'll have about 16.........

 

[Lakih]

Any week over 22 pts is a good week

 

[caLLous]

Ok I'm 2nd. Let's wrap this one up boys, see you next season!

 

[Ch3tan]

Still one game to go Call!

 

[caLLous]

Well there's still 371 games to go but I want to end it nowwwww.

 

[caLLous]

So I'm still crap at selecting captains then. Hazard last week and Rooney this. Lucky if I get double figures between them for the 2 weeks.

Watch as Hazard plays an absolute blinder against City.

 

[Billargh]

I've risked Kane as captain this week :/

 

[Raven]

Rooney is way off the boil it seems.

Shoe in for England.

 

[Vae]

• 'Fuck Off, Vae' - Vae gets zero points in the next game week to give the rest of us a chance

Okay, so maybe just the first three are real. Will be interesting to see what difference they make.

I think a few people have been playing this in weeks 1 and 2

Worst start to a season ever and bottom of FH league so you all have a chance of beating me now!

 

[caLLous]

...you all have a chance of beating me now!

Don't be ridiculous.

 

[Trem]

Pedro 9.5......what the fuck!?!

Ometafidladedah 6.5 what the fuck!?!?!

The guys who run Fantasy are on crack with these prices sometimes when new players arrive, it really pisses me off.

 

[caLLous]

I guarantee Hazard is going to play an absolute blinder this week because I just transferred him out of my team. Captain him up, people, it's nailed on.

 

[Raven]

I'm expecting a Rooney hatrick.
