    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.

    Any idea where last seasons winner of that 10k finished?

    He finished 6th overall. I know the winner 2 years ago collected 95k or so. 50k for winning it another 45k for all the cash leagues he won. Crazy

    With cash leagues being no problem in the Sky game but it seems now an issue in fantasypremier game, why a problem in one and not the other?

    A case of trying to get people to play the Sky game as well and have to open a Skybet account....or is it me just being a cynic??!

    With the Sky game it's built in with skybet holding and then distributing the cash to the winners. I'm guessing with FPL there was probably issues with underage players entering money leagues. With skybet you have to be 18+ obviously so it's not an issue

    Yea pretty close to my team. Most teams will be similar until the overhaul. After the overhaul is when things get interesting.

    I’ll keep on eye on the FF hub channel for more insights ( I hadn’t realised they use a different channel for sky). Will you be in with the lads throughout the season?

    That adds up to £104m. :D

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

    Dilemmas :D

    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.

    It’s a small change but could have big implications.That was actually my girlfriend Laura who commented. I said in the podcast when i won I will buy here a handbag. She is still waiting for it😂

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

    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.

    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.
