    Question Time!

    Can I see the players you lot have picked?
    What’s the story with picking captain/vice captain. Is there extra points or something?
    What’s the rating thing on each player? The more points out of five hundred and something (can’t remember the exact number) the better?

    You will after the league has started, so I guess Sat or Sun, maybe app dependent?

    What’s the story with picking captain/vice captain. Is there extra points or something?

    Your captain will scored double points each game week, if he doesn't play, your vice captain will scored double, if neither play, you're buggered.

    What’s the rating thing on each player? The more points out of five hundred and something (can’t remember the exact number) the better? Not sure, the more the better I guess.

    :)

    You can only see the players we have picked after a gameweek has started, so for the first week Saturday after the Fulham-Arsenal game has started.
    The player that you have selected as a Captain gets double points. If your captain doesn't play then your vice captain gets the double points. If neither your captain nor your vice captain play, no double points.
    I'm not sure I understand the last question :)

    There is a way to view other's teams in real time in the app I use, I will confirm if it still works this weekend. I hope that is not cheating :D

    There's no official app is there?
    Which one do you use Kol?
    (and do you know if it works for the draft too?)

    I think real time works during the gameweek - not sure if it applies for week 1, but for week 2 onward you can definitely see real time point as they happen.
    The one thing I'm not sure you can see is what changes an opponent has done to their team before the deadline is over. I can only see an opponent's team when the first game of the week starts.

    I don't think the draft works unfortunately, did you guys run one this year?

    I'm pretty sure I could see how your teams were setup before the GW deadline, I will need to wait until GW 1 finishes to confirm, I could be wrong.

    It’s the ICT index I’m taking about. What is that?

    You can see what other teams are from the week previous but you can not see any changes until the deadline ends.

    Eg you cant see teams now. You will be able to see them from when the first game starts.

    You then wont see any changes until the next deadline

    Currently I have 6.5 million left over.

    Do you get extra funds later in the year or does the stock I have bought go up and down in value?
    If I don’t use that money now will I lose it?
    Do you get extra funds later in the season?

    I’m asking questions twice :D

    Not sure about ICT Index, but this article seems to explain it:
    https://www.premierleague.com/news/65567

    You don't lose any unused funds, and you don't get any additional funds later on.
    You are right through, the value of a player can go up or down based on how many users buy or sell him. So it is always good to be ahead of the pact, and try to find a hidden gem and buy him cheap, so if the value goes up means you can sell him at a higher price and make some profit. That's a simple way to explain it.

    How do you have that much left over..... wowsers.

    Your players value will fluctuate through out the season as will all players. The 6.5 million you have left over will be there until you use it but your teams value will go up and down depending on how they perform.

    So in theory, your team could do brilliantly and be valued at 100 million in a few weeks and youd still have your 6.5 million left over to spend.

    I have only one rule when selecting my team: no Spurs players ever. I have stuck to it for the last 3-4 seasons, don't care how well they do or that I might miss points, I just can't do it - even more so now with who their manager is. . .:D

    To be fair to Wenger, his purse strings were under lock and key.

    A Delboy Levy comparison is more fitting. Never spends anything and when he does its usually a dud.

    I think you can see how many transfers a player makes a week and software can calculate the most likely transfers made and stuff but I dont think you can see the actual transfers people have made until the GW starts

    Balls - the changes I made for my subs and captains after I made my team never saved!!! That means I currently have 7 points sitting on my bench for Aubameyang!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,373 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    I presume everyone has Salah as captain? ;)

    No, listen to this: I didn't have any of the Liverpool players and then I thought I will bring one of them and who did I pick? Mane. . .

    Disaster of a week, I will be lucky to get to 30 points the way things go.

    Was between Salah and Mane, who do you reckon I ended up picking....as well, roll on next week.

    I do have Van Dyke though.

    Ah I just have Mane also, was between which one to pick in the team. Was always going to captain whichever I picked and went with the wrong one.

    Only someone like Strawbs could afford both :)

    Can you sell and buy players every week?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Can you sell and buy players every week?


    Yep. You get one for free each week and if you want to do more than one transfer you pay for it with some of the points you got from the previous match day

    I ain’t giving back my hard earned points so I’ll stick with the freebie.

    ;)

    ;)

    Another thing that you need to know strawbs is that you are allowed to save one transfer without losing it.
    For example if for week 2 you are happy with your team, you can keep your transfer and then in week 3 you will be allowed 2 free transfers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Also if you feel your team is beyond saving, you can activate your wild card and change the whole thing without spending your points. You get 1 wildcard for the first half of the season and another for the second half of the season.

    Or if you share your login details, someone can make a transfer on your behalf.
