    Well deserved, enjoy the celebrations and the prize money. You have to feel for the guy who was 1st though, he ends up with a game console after all that.

    Just go 107 places higher next season to make up for it :-)
    It was indeed good craic. I'll be putting more effort in next season now as it's a lot more winnable than FPL as Donegal has proved.

    Tried playing a few times, but can never figure out the pricing scoring etc to pick a half decent team so never keeps my interest

    The prices stay the same. The scoring is similar enough to FPL, tbh I didnt even know the scoring system fully until a few weeks ago so I wouldn't worry about that at the start. The main thing is to plan ahead so that you have a captain each day there is a match on.

    I definitely would have take the opportunity to settle a few scores with mates.
    Not that I'd ever be good enough to win OR competitions.
    Massive congrats!!!

    One of the things I'd be interested in hearing about is players who do better in sky game than they do in FPL due to the scoring system. The obvious example would be some of the more defensive mids but I'm not even sure who the best ones are.

    Can see me concentrating on this more than the FPL game going forward. Very disillusioned with how the FPL game is run at the moment.

    With 50K you could probably just buy Mayo :pac:

    True it’s the only site that publishes weekly articles on sky. Ffscout seems to have stopped sky articles all together.

    Donegal, if you don't mind me asking are you getting for these appearances since winning?

    So the price could be essentially ,50K + all these extra opportunities

    Not getting paid anything yet for articles our podcasts. But think it’s more about build my reputation and hopefully down the line will open more opportunities.
