HomeCrowd, the new comment system for Fantasy Football Scout, is due to launch in the next few days following a final test by our newly recruited team of moderators.

We have a few minor bugs to fix this week and are looking to launch either Wednesday or Thursday. This is subject to change – if we fail to make Thursday, we will likely slip over to Monday of the following week.

In preparation, a new Community Guide section has now been written and is available to read here. This outlines how you can get the best out of the new functions HomeCrowd has to offer in addition to re-iterating the rules regarding comment posting.

In addition, so that you can get an early view of HomeCrowd, we’ve created a preview movie below, outlining the features that will be available when we go live.

Our moderation team is still in training, limbering up and leafing through the community guidelines and moderator’s guide that we’re currently piecing together.

We are delighted to announce that our initial moderating team is: Spencer, Ryan, In Like Flynn, Gaz Downright, Evs, Green Windmill, Tinkerman, In Tommy We Trust, Applebonkers and TorresMagic.

All are well respected members of the community, who since being appointed have already provided sterling work behind the scenes in helping to launch HomeCrowd and ensuring its success.

    "Likewise if you have a 7m budget left and bid 6m, 5m and 4m and win all 3, only your 4m bid will go through."

    Why would only the 4m bid go through in that instance?

      • 14 Years

      Think because you have insufficient budget to honour all three bids. So you take off the most expensive bid (6m), and you still have insufficient budget. You then take off the next most expensive bid (5m) and you can afford it - it being your 4m bid.

      REpost new rules

      "- If the club exceeds its tokens budget, the most expensive successful bid (in tokens) will be considered void and goes to the club with the next highest bid. If this is unable to settle equal bids from the same team, the bidding order (1st, 2nd and 3rd) in the weekly submission shall determine the preference of each team

      - If the club exceeds its player position limit, the bidding order (1st, 2nd and 3rd) in the weekly submission shall determine the preference of each team"

      In this case you have exceeded your token budget by a considerable ammount. The most expensive successful bid will be considered void. In this case both the 6 token and 5 token bids become void so that the total bid is less than your 7token remaining budget.

      because only one bid can go through as you have insufficient budget to get any two of the bids therefore the rules say that the highest value bid(s) are void leaving you with the 4m bid

    Repost regarding transfer game.

    There is a hole though.

    I bid on three players that are reasonably valued that aren’t the bigger names and aren’t in transfer activity, win all three with competitive to low token value perceived by the clubs overall token value statement but get penalised for those players not being popular. The club would have met its target with all three bids and not gone over budget.

    It won’t be overbidding but clever manipulation of the transfer market.

    What the rule is implying is to bid 110% of your token amount is how I understand it.

          This will only apply in certain situations such as this week for GK as only 2 are needed and when trying to fill the final slot in each outfield position. In that case maybe a more cautious, thought out bidding approach is necessary.

                  I'm still awake. 😀

                  Refering to your original comment about overbidding by a small margin being favourable. Its true, but you wont want to spend all 100 tokens in the first round, so overbidding isnt really a sensible tactic till the end.

                  If thats not what you meant, then I will reply tomorrow.

                    Sorry yes, I think it's possible to achieve this. If people don't then change the rule as you have nothing to worry about. Alternately change the rule to let the club retain all 3/6 players to transfer/release at a later date. Considering you get penalised for a release later in the rounds it could work out both ways.

            that's only if all bids are the same value. but if you win casillas for 10 tokens, cech for 5 and gunzan for 2 then you'd get cech + gunzan and the second highest bidder would win casillas

                I think if your go over you budget ei 60 mill token on messi, 20 ok falcao 20 on Gomez then the most expensive bi should be removed ( more risked involved have to be carfull with your budget).

                If however your 3 bids for keepers are approved and you only have room for two (same could happen with mids/def in latter rounds) but haven't broken your budget then surely order of preference should come in.

    Still think one diagram bringing all the rules together would be the killer weapon to defeat confusion. With examples to illustrate each one.

    I might move again, anyone any insight on Singapore vs London - particularly appreciate it if anyone has lived in both?

    I live in London for about 18 months in 2000-02 but was single then and would be bringing my wife and son with me this time so a few more factors especially around schools.

      Ooh what a question, I just came back online for one last browse, must be a sign eh 🙂

      I've lived 3 years around London as a student and my family's from Singapore, I go stay there for a month every couple of years.

      Cost of living is high in both places but higher in London I think. Food certainly is cheaper in Singapore where you can get a decent meal for S$2-S$3 (~£1) in a hawker centre. Accommodation is pretty scarce though, probably worse than London, there are massive waiting lists for new government flats and anyone owning a house is probably a paper millionaire. Though of course if you're of decent means you should be fine. Living standards are really good there if you've got some money. Great transport (MRT), great weather, great food and peaceful. All things which are difficult to say of London.

      What's the catches living in Singapore? Well, it's small geographically so you might feel the need to get away from the rat race; there's less variety in surroundings than London. Also the atmosphere in Singapore is very 'hothoused' - everyone works long hours for their standard of living. The schools are extremely good at all the 'hard' subjects like maths, sciences, humanities etc. The kids do get worked really hard though, educational attainment squeezes out all the other parts of growing up. Quite often in addition to the long school day they also have after-school tuition because it's so competitive.

      All in all I think Singapore is a great place to be - if you manage to get the time to enjoy it.

        PS: Owning a car is quite expensive in Singapore because you have to buy an expensive vehicle-owning license. This is of course deliberate to keep pollution down on the island... not that it has stopped most people finding some way tafford it.

        Thanks Isacki, really useful.

        I can't do HK because of the appalling smog, especially for a hit. Not completely sure about leaving TK Gaz but feeling in a bit of a rut and in need of some change, been here since 2002. Lots of things to miss though, weather, quality of life, food, stunningly attractive women...all that jazz.
