Had a listen-some good info in there. I’m going to take a stab at guessing your GW1 team

McCarthy
Robertson Van Dyke Vinagre Doherty
Bruno Antonio Ndidi
Auba Werner Kane

Anyway close to your actual team?

That adds up to £104m.

Though Doherty -> Thomas would make it 100m exactly. But then you wouldn't have the 0.1 to do Auba -> KdB

Dilemmas

I will back on the fantasy football hub sky podcast on Sunday at 9:pm

Just listened to the first 40 mins while out for a walk on my lunch break. Interesting opinions on the new tackle rules/scoring. Will have to give this some more thought.

P. S. I think that Victoria girl who posted in the comments section on YouTube might have heard about your 50K. You'll have to watch out for that kinda stuff now you've got a few quid.

I thought as much. Stick with the handbag option mate, much cheaper then a diamond ring... In the long run anyway.

Ha yeah I probably should have checked what that team value would come to!

https://youtu.be/Hcy4ZdWS9Ks link for the FFH Sky podcast tonight 9pm. I enjoy watching these. Good banter between the 3 lads and they're knowledgeable too. You can also ask them questions in advance on their Twitter and there's a decent chance they'll answer you on the livestream.

Going to be great to sit back with a beer and watch it.

What is the best way to find money leagues that won't be filled with sharks?

They are like gold dust at the minute. Seems to be always one top player in nearly every league.

I might just do a lucky dip so. I'll go for ones which pay out a few places.

A number of the money leagues Sky runs in the game have prize pools of around £10k(once all the entries are accounted for). 50% 1st 25% 2nd 15% 3rd 10% 4th. They run a £20 entry league and £10, £5, and £2 ones.

Where are these money leagues?

Hi lads Have just joined the group on Sky FF have never taken part in this kind of thing before but heard a lot of the lads on about it so I seen this thread and decided to sign up congrats to the previous winner on winning the 50k.

Thanks Alan it aged me by about 10 years last season. If you need any help with the game we will be happy to help. Make sure you read the rules carefully and all the best this season.

Thanks , I'd imagine it was very stressful. It seems like a great past time at the weekends at least it makes a lot of dull and boring games more interesting once you have a player in your side and are watching to see how well he does. It's going to be interesting trying to manage transfers I've tried to go with a side who are for the most part regulars for their teams without the need for too much chopping and changing but as you know injuries can come into it. I've tried not to select too many from the same team I'm not sure if it's a good tactic but one I'm going to go with.

manual_man · 11-09-2020 3:56pm

Right! I think I'm ready to go (doesn't look as if we're going to get the updated gw4 fixtures before tomorrow)

MAIN TEAM:
McCarthy
TAA VVD Egan Justin
Henderson Hojberg Havertz
Son(C) Auba(C) Werner(C)

Defense and attack will be like many others I reckon. My midfield is a bit different. Hojberg hopefully chips in with tackles bonus and maybe even the odd passing bonus and assist. Henderson is a solid pick for all round points - hopefully he starts against Leeds. Havertz is being hyped up - hopefully he does well he's a bit of a differential and I fancy 2 Chelsea especially for gws 3 and 4. Captain choices fairly safe for gw1. A bit nervous with Son so I'm hoping he matches Kane obviously. 0.1 for the fairly obvious transfer of Auba to KDB in gw2. No Bruno or any United player is the obvious omission but with Arsenal now playing the same day as United gw2, a United player is no longer a necessity for that captain day.

2nd TEAM:
Ryan(C)
Robertson Stevens Vinagre Justin
Willian Mahrez Bruno
Ings(C) Kane(C) Auba

As you can see this team is a bit more punty. Only 2 players the same from my main team. Risking no KdB and going with Mahrez instead. Vinagre a bit risky with the uncertainty but hopefully he plays. Budget fully used. Have a tentative double transfer in mind - Auba and Willian to Werner and Pulisic in gw2. As you can see I've gone a bit punty with gw1 captains as well. Ings(although I fancy him to do well) and Ryan. The thinking with Ryan is he has a good chance of saves bonus and if Brighton were to manage a CS then I would be looking at a big score (and gaining nicely vs Werner captainers). I like taking chances with my 2nd team initially anyway.

Best of luck to all playing and welcome to the new players we've got a good number in the league Donegal123 set up so make sure and join if you haven't already

stephenl15 · 11-09-2020 4:57pm

Think I'm set. I finally realised I wasn't going to afford 2 Liverpool defs so I put TAA in one and VVD in the other team:

McCarthy
Bertrand, VVD, Keane, Justin
Hojbjerg, Soucek, Bruno
Auba, Salah, Werner

and

Pickford
Keane, TAA, Egan, Justin
Romeu, Bruno, Havertz
Son, Auba, Werner

A forward to KDB on Monday in both cases

Feel free to pick holes

claw · 11-09-2020 6:21pm

My 2 teams:

Ryan
VVD TAA Justin Egan
Antonio Saka Havertz(C)
Son(C) Auba Salah(C)

Ryan
VVD TAA Justin Egan
Soucek Saka Havertz
Kane(C) Auba(C) Werner(C)

2 similar teams but a few changes in each one. Not gone on Ryan at all in goal. Egan was a hero for me last season, and Antonio also towards the end. 0.1 left for both teams to get rid of Auba for KDB. Will probably leave them like this although I have a feeling that Vardy will start off well.

All you can really do is put in who you fancy and have your captains covered for the matchdays for the 1st 3 gameweeks. Bruno not playing the 1st gameweek is the only thing I see. You have to weigh up is it worth having 10 players for gameweek 1 so that you have him for gameweek 2. And will you be captaining him.

2nd Row Donkey · 11-09-2020 8:43pm

I'm in. Just one team for the moment : Holding Mee Long Koch

Will throw a 2nd team together shortly.

2nd team in. HoldingMeeSmallingKoch

manual_man · 11-09-2020 9:36pm

Martinez to Brighton rumour has me spooked so have downgraded Stevens to O Connell and upgraded Ryan to Lloris in my 2nd team.

Alanm2020 · 11-09-2020 10:21pm

Ended up doing a second team tonight on paper it actually ended up way better then the first one I'm sure it's a common problem can't seem to settle on an exact team have made multiple changes so I can afford better players in midfield and up front.

3 captains?

Yes, there are games on Sat, Sunday and Monday so you can have a different captain each day. That's pretty much the main difference between the sky sports version and FPL

DJIMI TRARORE · 11-09-2020 11:08pm

Jesus,50 teams in this year, locked and loaded here,so good luck to all,it should be fun

stephenl15 · 12-09-2020 1:39am

Couple of teams in the league only have one captain set. Don't forget lads new captain each day

Dearg81 · 12-09-2020 8:52am

Have they announced the game week 4 fixture schedule? I don't see them on the app.

Happy4all · 12-09-2020 8:55am

Trying to get up to speed quickly with the different rules for this one, is it you can't make a transfer in the first 4 weeks?

No you have 40 transfers for the whole season but after 4 game weeks you have unlimited transfers until game week 5 starts.

Thanks, why do they recommend bringing in non playing Bruno, when you can transfer him in week two?

Saves a transfer, you will run out of them fast. 40 sounds like a lot but most people burn them quickly.

I checked just now and I don't think so, I thought they were due yesterday but looks like there was a delay.

Dearg81 · 12-09-2020 9:54am

I think I'll take a punt on Trossard, 7.6m midfielder who should be playing as a striker. He's a good player, I'm just hoping he doesn't get subbed too early.

On the home page in the app, there's a create 2nd team button beside the name of your first team.

I plan on using only 2 transfers if that before the unlimited wildcard. Auba to KDB and maybe a United one. Won't be making transfers for the sake of this season which is always my problem in this. Hopefully we will have a lot more info regarding dates for fixtures when the unlimited wildcard comes around.

You can make changes right up to 1st kick off on everyday
