Doing superb manual man. A lot if those above you will have burned a lot more transfers.

At 20k myself ... only made my 4th transfer on Saturday. Need to start putting more effort in this one.

35 transfers remaining.
First time playing it.
Not sure if I like it compared to FPL.
Very secretive, not being able to see other players teams which are Private. I suppose it stops lower teams copying those of the leaders.
Will keep playing as long as I am doing OK!

Can you see how many players are in the competition?

Thanks. You guys are in a good spot too with so little transfers used. I have 26/40 remaining now, so i've burned a fair few, overall FSA folks doing pretty decent. I'm curious though how many total players are in the game. I haven't seen it anywhere

373 O.R. 6/40 transfers remaining

The ultimate weekly game will be fun,no budget,no limits,just pick what u think will be the best 11 that week, 100k a week if ur very lucky,Thommo just picked 11 liverpool players

Sounds fun alright. The idea of pick whatever players you want from week to week has always seemed fantasy football at it's purest to me.

I noticed in the regular game you can set a league up to be paid entry: £2/£5/£10/£20. You need to have a skybet account to enter such a league(i do - i'm not sure about anyone else).

8 players signed up for the Boards FSA league

sign up with PIN 8430565

and please enter ONE team only to the league (technically it's possible to enter two)

Thanks

Bumping this up. 9 entries in the Boards league so far. Be nice if we could get to 20

Rules explanation, pasted from the general chat thread:

The rules are different from official fpl but not difficult to understand. There's a few key differences:

You don't have subs. You just select your best eleven from the 100m budget. You have 40 transfers for the whole season. These can be used at any time, with the exception that no more than 5 can be used in a single game week.

You can set a captain for every day there's a league game on(granted you have a player playing on that day).

Points are allocated for goals assists and clean sheets but there are also extra points on offer for passing, tackling and shooting counts(it makes some of the more defensive minded midfielders more viable for example).

3 bonus points are given to whoever's awarded man of the match.

The nature of how the transfer system works along with the ability to have multiple captains in a gameweek is a key part of the strategy. You can set your captains in advance for each gameweek so it's not so stressful - however if you make a transfer during the gameweek(which you can do, right up until the earliest kickoff on any given day), you may wish to change your captain as part of your strategy. Just for example, you may have Salah and captain him for the Saturday game. Then, before first kickoff on Sunday, you may transfer Kane in for him, thus having 2 really good captain choices over those 2 days.

Yeah I like the idea of a cheap enabler. Boly was good last season. This season I’m starting out with Norwood.

With the free wildcard gw5 I’ve changed my team up a little:

Ederson
VVD Zinchenko Coleman
Grealish Tielemans Norwood KDB Jota
Kane Sterling
