Sky Sports Fantasy World Cup

I see that Sky are running a competition which is almost identical rules wise to their Premier League competition.

Would there be any interest here in a pay mini league with a small entry fee?

They have a function as well to collect entry fees for mini leagues and pay out at the end in whatever split the entrants decide.

So anyone interested? If so, suggestions welcome re entry fee and prize payout structure.

we can do a free league of course as well to have a bit of interest.

F1ngers · 10-11-2022 1:44pm

Happy to play.

€20.

Just a suggestion, depending on entrants, up to 10, winner takes all, up to 20, 70/30, over 20, 65/25/10.

Hackers · 10-11-2022 2:13pm

I’ve set up a free league for now as there will be a few interested in that.

PIN is 1795228

Hackers · 14-11-2022 5:50pm

Just bumping the thread up a bit....3 teams in the free league and just one other interested in a pay league. I’ll keep an eye on this thread in case any more interest. Probably need 5 minimum to go ahead with a pay league

thunderdog · 15-11-2022 4:43pm

I’ll go for both the paid and free league.

i need a distraction from a poor start in the prem sky fantasy!

shmeee · 16-11-2022 3:10pm

Just logged into Sky Fantasy. I don't play the PL one. Are the rules exact same for WC one? Can't find the rules on the website for the WC Fantasy...

*ignore, found em. WC rules throwing into main rules. I'll have a read.

The rules are there, in with the rules of the FPL, sort of like an addendum.

Took me longer than I'd care to admit to find them.

Got them, thanks.

Whats the story with captain? I can change it throughout the gameweek? So pick one captain Monday, and change on Tuesday then if I want to a different player yet to play? Or is that wrong.

F1ngers · 16-11-2022 3:23pm

When you select your team, there is a captains tab, you can select a captain for each game day, assuming you have a player playing that day.

shmeee · 16-11-2022 3:26pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119881731#Comment_119881731

And the highest scoring player (of which I've selected) is my captain at the end of the game week then?

I set up a team for the FIFA WC Fantasy, and my head confused enough after that game.....

shmeee · 16-11-2022 4:00pm

And also, do transfers carry if not used in a GW?

"For our World Cup competition you will receive 3 transfers per Gameround, giving you a total of 21 transfers to use during the tournament. "

All your captains are your captains.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119881908#Comment_119881908

It reads as though they do carry over, but because there is an overhaul, I'm not so sure.

You cant carry over any transfers, Use them our lose them.

shmeee · 16-11-2022 11:01pm

Thanks lads. I will enter a paid league if numbers. Just let me know.

Dearg81 · 16-11-2022 11:11pm

I'll do the paid league. Just entered a team there, the prices seem generous as I was able to pick any 3 forwards I wanted.

Hackers · 17-11-2022 1:35am

5 as below for a paid league, probably enough to run with I think. We might get a couple of more yet as well.

Hackers,

F1ngers,

Thunderdog,

I assume we will go with setting this up so that Sky holds the money ? If so, I can set up the league and pm the code.

We will need to set up the league ASAP, i need to set the prize split when doing that. I guess I will go winner takes all as we are unlikely to double our list of entrants at this stage.

On the entry fee, I’m happy with 20 as suggested.

Hackers · 17-11-2022 2:04am

Sky pay league options are 10 or 20 and are pounds only....20 pounds ok for everyone? it’s just there is no 15 option !

F1ngers · 17-11-2022 8:27am

£20 works for me.

shmeee · 17-11-2022 12:32pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119884247#Comment_119884247

Will payment work if you've self excluded sky betting account? Set up the league and I'll see if let me pay. But I'm good with 20 anyway if can get payment through.

F1ngers · 17-11-2022 1:22pm

Just realised they want you to upgrade to a sky bet account, have ladbrokes, not interested in another one.

Revolut, paypal or bank transfer for me.

shmeee · 17-11-2022 1:27pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119885364#Comment_119885364

That rules me out so paying via Sky.

Like yourself, I can pay via; Revolut, paypal of bank transfer. No issue with such.

Hackers · 17-11-2022 5:40pm

Let’s go with Revolut as 1st option, then PayPal, then bank transfer.

I will PM number for Revolut for those who have indicated an interest so far and will then send league code once received

Hackers · 17-11-2022 5:47pm

@shmeee, seems I can’t PM you due to your profile status being private. Can you PM me and then I might be able to respond ?

DJIMI TRARORE · 19-11-2022 12:59pm

Right folks,Enner Valencia or whoever plays in goals for Equador is the c choice for tomorrow, edging to GK and then Pickford in v Iran as both have a strong chance of clean sheets.Any other ideas?!!!

extra gravy · 19-11-2022 7:40pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119893272#Comment_119893272

I've Estupiñán in at the moment, from what I've read he's on set pieces for them. Attacking threat and their defence was fairly tight in the qualifiers. Will be leaving some money itb to upgrade him afterwards though.

thunderdog · 19-11-2022 9:10pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119894550#Comment_119894550

I’m also on Estupinan-originally had the Ecuador GK but my thinking is that if they get a clean sheet they should get similar points, with Estupinan the outside chance of getting additional passing bonus and/or an attacking return

shmeee · 19-11-2022 9:48pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119894550#Comment_119894550

I've him and MF Caicedo as of now. Not sure if will have both come tomorrow, have funds ITB to move em on when see England team then, more than likely onto Trippier.

Another note, the FIFA Fantasy game seems to be some feck up, the state of the rules. Seems insane the whole Wildcard you can use for MD2 and into making your MD3 team then.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119895060#Comment_119895060

Yeah I was trying to get my head around the FIFA game earlier, don't think I can be bothered with it. I like the Sky game because it's straightforward and the rules are clear.

Hackers · 20-11-2022 10:09am

5 entrants for the pay league so far, €100 winner takes all then.

Entry fee is payable via Revolut / PayPal/ Bank transfer.

if anyone else wants to join post here and I’ll PM details for payment and league entry.

DJIMI TRARORE · 20-11-2022 4:50pm

Went with Plata in the end , straight out after the game for some body playing tomorrow,am I right in saying that transfers must be done b4 the 1st ko on each day,so I'll see the English team b4 I do it

patmac · 20-11-2022 5:19pm

captained Valencia lol, anyway back to the hurling.

Hackers · 20-11-2022 5:48pm

Patmac pmed me before kick off to join the pay league....I’ll include him in the league as a result

shmeee · 20-11-2022 10:36pm

So I can't move one me Ecuador player?

Hackers · 20-11-2022 11:18pm

“Entries for World Cup Prize Leagues will be close at 23:59 on December 2nd 2022. Any entries into a Prize League up until this time will carry their total tournament points into the Prize League and continue to score from when the Prize League is joined.”

From the rules. So anyone can wait to see how their team is going until the group stage are over and then enter all the pay leagues (20,10,5,2) that sky have set up.....am I understanding that correctly? Absolute joke if they are allowing that!

Hackers · 20-11-2022 11:25pm

Schmeee, match day deadline is a daily thing during the group stages. All that means is that whoever you bring in can only start scoring for you from tomorrow.

you 100% can swap out the Ecuador players

shmeee · 21-11-2022 1:38pm

Only noticed now, my captain never locked in yesterday. What a disaster.

Hackers · 21-11-2022 1:39pm

Just to confirm we have the 7 teams who were entered before kick off in the pay league so 140 for the winner.

Trimm Trabb · 21-11-2022 7:35pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119899616#Comment_119899616

You sure?

I just transferred out Kane for Mbappe and it doesn’t seem to have taken effect when I look at my team for tomorrow?

anyone get rid of an Ecuador player today and get someone who played today?

edit: I can Mbappe as a captain option for tomorrow, he just doesn’t appear on my team when I go to Tomorrow, still a greyed out Kane.

shmeee · 21-11-2022 8:36pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119903249#Comment_119903249

I brought in Trippier today alright and got his points along with lad I transferred out.

Hackers · 21-11-2022 11:38pm

Brought it Kane for Valencia this morning , captained him and got the points. Valencia captain points stayed as well

Hackers · 21-11-2022 11:41pm

I see the gameround countdown clock hasn’t started ticking down for tomorrow yet so I’m guessing some kind of reset happens at midnight maybe. Mbappe will be in your team in the morning I’ve no doubt

shmeee · 26-11-2022 9:58pm

Checked table.... Miles behind! Ye are putting up some scores lads. Some shooting.

Enjoyable game compared to the other site show FIFA produced.

Hackers · 26-11-2022 11:55pm

Going ok in this, 500th place overall. De Bruyne, Neymar and Kane as captains 3 days in a row all returned nothing though!

manual_man · 27-11-2022 10:20pm

141st with 4 to play tomorrow. Happy obviously. No Brazilian attackers or defenders though (just have Casemiro!!!!) so could do with no major hauls from any of the highly owned.

Hackers · 28-11-2022 9:57pm

Those 4 working out well for you whoever they are, great stuff, well done!

2nd place. Absolute madness. Would be 1st if I'd captained Bruno 😁

Long way to go just enjoying this

Too many big guns in our league, some shooting lads!

I had to take a few punts today with players to see can I close the gap anyway at all to the top. Still keeps me interested in the games to be fair. Players are capable of big scores with the SFF point system. One haul could have you score 20-30 points on a cap.
