Fantasy League Pro – The Wrap Up

1,248 Comments
Share

With today’s deadline looming across all the Fantasy games, your lineups should be close to being finalised – your Fantasy League pro auctions now complete.

I put the final piece in my 15-man squad with the capture of Mario Balotelli on Wednesday evening, he’ll work in a dubious partnership with Robin Van Persie to carry my hopes over the group stages.

Of course, the League Chairman should now have moved their games on and paved the way for sealed bidding to start on transfers. I’ve set my league to allow transfers after every set of Group matches, with a first deadline at 10pm on June 11 – I’m limiting bids to 5 per round with 20 over the tournament as a whole. Your chairman might have done different – that’s certainly one of the interesting elements of the Pro game.

Chairman can set your sealed bids deadline for the first round of transfers via their Chairman’s Office, by clicking on Sealed Bids. Here you can set a deadline for managers to make bids for the remaining free agents. You go back to this screen on the deadline to process the bids – watch out for any bids made after the deadline when you do. By default, managers can make unlimited transfers over the tournament – if you want to restrict that, you can do so, again via the Chairmans Office. This initial screen is also where a Chairman can change the cap on the number of players per country – I’m tweaking mine to 4 after the group stages are complete.

If there are any Chairman struggling to move their game on past the auction phase, due to final bids not being made or teams failing to make bids, then they should contact prosupport@fantasyleague.com asap. Provide details of your division id (available in the url of your league page) and the team id’s effected (available in the url of the teams in question) and they will resolve the issue so you can move you games on in time for today’s kick-off.

    Regarding the Lewandowski to United news - heres the article in which it's coming from.

    http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/06/08/us-soccer-euro-smuda-drinking-idUSBRE8570IF20120608

    Here's the quote.

    "In my opinion, in a moment they will be gone from Borussia," Smuda said. "'Lewy' is going to Manchester United, Kuba also somewhere in England, Piszczek to Real (Madrid)."

    His "opinion" - that doesn't sound concrete at all. Plus what will become of Chica or Welbz especially as we've got Kagawa as well? As much as a good player he is, why buy him? 😐 I can't see it.

      In order to afford the game's cougars (attacking milfs) you have to go for the cheapest defence you can that will play. Greece has that in abundance, what's more you get to see the team sheets before.

    About 220,000 people playing now...

    Anything lower than a 1000 finish will be rather annoying.

    I am hoping to try & finish in the top 100.

    I think the first gameweek is the biggest decider, because it is hard to play catch up in this game, with the subs, captain changes & everyone's team will be almost identicle from the QF's onwards.

    since i've been advising others to buy some cheap ass defenders i spose i oughta back it up with my own team. kadlec is in there as i had 5.5 and thought why not take a penalty punt:--------- ---------- szeszney, isaksson, ---------- ---------- boenish, berezutski, kadlec, willems, maniatis---------- ---------- shirokov, iniesta, ozil, yarmolenko, ribery---------- ---------- ibrahimovich, RVP, jelavic--------clearly over-reliant on a group 1 stalemate but screw it, all are very capable defences . another thing is an avoidance of matchday 4 defenders. thinking behind this is that since defenders are the most likely to return zero or negative points then i wud not be confident replacing any points on the board with someone who cud easily strip those points right back off me. don't expect any responses as i seek none, simply throwin my team out there and explaining my decisions. and that, as they say, is that

I don't have Ozil either, and i'm shitting it. Willems is a punt alright, but i'm not too sure of him starting. Really like your midfield.

            Value doesn't always come into play. Have the same choice for Game 2, and you wouldn't take Czech even with the draw option, would you?

                So, if you really thought Poland was going to win this one going away, you would still take Greece because they have the added option of the Draw?

                    That's just it. There's no price. It's part of a game here in the States. The idea is to build a streak of correct picks in a row. Every time you get one wrong, you go back to Zero and have to start again. Longest streak of the month wins a minimum $50,000

                    That doesn't mean you can't take price into consideration though. Anyway this seems to be going no where fast. If it helps i'd take Poland ahead of Greece +0.5 although it's a very tough one to open with. Best of luck!

      Tough to recommend without knowing what the rest of your team looks like
