Premier League Fantasy Football 2019/20

[James]

New thread, continued from http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=343072

Its up and running again for anyone thats interested. The league has continued over from last season so you can automatically join if you were in it last season i think. If you want to join then i can send you the code

https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/home

The code.

He says he's renewed the league, and i think once that's done you're automatically back in if you took part last season. If any newbies want to join, the code is below (quote from drew, lol)
ive renewed the league, heres the code - lfjenm

If you don't know what Fantasy Premier League is.


With over 6 million players, Fantasy Premier League is the biggest Fantasy Football game in the world. It’s FREE to play and you can win great prizes!

Use your budget of £100m to pick a squad of 15 players from the Premier League.

Play against friends and family, colleagues or a web community in private leagues.


Join the TiBB league with code above and you get points based on real-player performances.

[Calderyon]

Would someone create the draft league also?

[Shaun]

Only you and I participated last year, Cald :D unless there's more interest, I see little point

[Crimson Dynamo]

Eh I was in the league too

[James]

Draft leagues are interesting because everyone has different players, but the problem is I think people have to be all online at once.

[Calderyon]

Draft leagues are interesting because everyone has different players, but the problem is I think people have to be all online at once.

Not necessarily, people can select who they want before hand and the game picks players for the participants according to their randomly done draft order and players ranking.

And if they don't the game automatically selects the #1 pick to player who is 1st in the draft, #2 pick to who is 2nd etc.

[Calderyon]

I might post my team later.

[Calderyon]

But not if others won't share.

[BigSister]

ill probably join the main league next week. The draft league confused me last year so ill probably leave that

[Shaun]

Oh hello :love: welcome to the league.

Forgive my weird suspicions

@ Big Evil - Rufus was able to join despite this being their first attempt (I think) in the league, so :worry: maybe it's just the form being filled out incorrectly, idk...

World Chess champion Magnus Carlsen is currently third in the overall league.


Fantasy Premier League: World chess champion Magnus Carlsen in top three

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/BAD5/production/_110192874_magnuscarlsen_getty.jpg
Carlsen's previous best finish in FPL was 2,397th in 2017-18

He's already the best chess player in the world. Now Magnus Carlsen is using his mental fortitude to succeed in another game of strategy - fantasy football.

Norway's world chess champion moved top of the leaderboard in Fantasy Premier League on Saturday - the Premier League's official fantasy football game played by more than seven million people.

Carlsen, 29, stormed to the top with a squad including Liverpool's Sadio Mane, Leicester striker Jamie Vardy and, of course, everyone's favourite bargain, Sheffield United's John Lundstram - the top scoring defender in the game.

Carlsen - who has been world champion since 2013 - moved into the top 100 at the end of October and has been in the top 10 for the past three weeks. He then made Mohamed Salah captain and the Liverpool star rewarded him with a two-goal display against Watford that sent him top.

One of the Norwegian's main rivals for top spot also has sporting pedigree - former Liverpool defender Nick Tanner has not been out of the top three since 5 October and he regained the number one ranking following Crystal Palace's 1-1 draw with Brighton on Monday night, leaving Carlsen in third place.

Carlsen is obviously enjoying his success, updating his Twitter bio to read: "World Chess Champion. The highest ranked chess player in the world. Current (live) #1 Fantasy Premier League player".

He also addressed his fantasy football performance on social media, citing analytics company Opta as one of the factors behind his success.

"Since a lot of people are asking about my FPL strategy, mine is the not so groundbreaking one of part stats and part gut feeling," the Norwegian tweeted.

"Part Opta-mist and part optimist."

im 74 k and coming for rufus

[Crimson Dynamo]

who is rufus?

[MTVN]

My first time playing it properly this season and I have 954 points so would be 4th :hee:

Can we call the league something generic next year so I can join safe in the knowledge if anyone asks I can say it's a work league or something

I’ve been very consistent in 9th place :laugh:

Technically it is a work league. You're just not getting paid.

[Shaun]

I don't feel like I've been doing anything above 'average' so I'm pleased to see I'm clinging onto fourth for dear life

edit: true Arsenal sentiment, that

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRKK KKKKKKKKKK OFF SON YOU MUPPETT

Latest TiBB League table, after week 23.

I'm playing my Triple Captain this week, because Liverpool have two games.

[Calderyon]

Good idea, thank you.

[James]

I don't like giving tips out to my rivals, mind you. :hee:

[Crimson Dynamo]

The last 2 weeks have been awful but NOT is you captained that vile Aguero. Aguero captains have shot up the rankings as he scored 5 goals when other captains blanked.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Triple Captain chip used


https://tbrfootball.com/static/uploads/2020/01/GettyImages-1200559320.jpg

[James]

I've messed up my team selection. It seems I didn't save the team, and captain is still De Bruyne, and the extra Liverpool player I got is a substitute.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I am top of the league, i said I am top of the league


:dance:

https://i.imgur.com/6GLTU4j.jpg?1

[Calderyon]

I didn't use my triple captain. Decided to save it.

Well after the first game, since the system did not save my team.

[Calderyon]

In retrospect i should have as I would have won the week.

Oh well, it's only 16 points and I would have still been way behind of 3rd spot.

[James]

I scored 62 points last week despite my mess up.

My first time playing it properly this season and I have 954 points so would be 4th :hee:

Can we call the league something generic next year so I can join safe in the knowledge if anyone asks I can say it's a work league or something

We could just add your scores into the table, without joining the league.

Here's the latest TiBB league table.

[James]

The latest table.

[MTVN]

I have had a couple of bad weeks but am on 1371

DCL has just got me 11 points so hoping this is the start of a special gameweek

I am feeling guilty though as I have captained Aguero against West Ham :omgno:

[MTVN]

My side for this week

[Shaun]

Chose to use my bench boost for this game-week... I'm sure it'll flop :hee:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Calvert Lewin get in

11 points

you beauty

[James]

Latest table.

[Crimson Dynamo]

vardy not in squad for tonights game v Norwich

[James]

Didn't know about the game tonight so missed the deadline. Might have a non-player this week.

[Shaun]

vardy not in squad for tonights game v Norwich

:facepalm:

Used my wildcard this week and was very close to choosing him, thankfully I didn't

[James]

I only scored 13 points last week lol.

According to this the lowest scoring week for 3 years - www.premierleague.com/video/single/1636736

Latest table.

https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=4908&stc=1&d=1583568730

[Crimson Dynamo]

last week was a car crash but then we had 4 teams not playing

[Calderyon]

Failed on my Bench Boost use last week, hopefully my play this week is worth it and works.

[Shaun]

They must have added the Arsenal-City game into a "double game week" very late, because I triple-captained Aubameyang this week thinking he might rip West Ham apart and (he didn't) still have a chance for him to do something later in the week :hee:

I'm closing the gap on the podiums as well, which is nice

[James]

I captained De Bruyne who is out.

[Calderyon]

Not looking good, but it's looking alright at least.

Had to do it though.

[Shaun]

The site has now reopened the game and everyone has a free wildcard week, in effect: you can make unlimited transfers all week to prepare you for the next gameweek.

If you're wondering what that gameweek is, it's here:

Wednesday 17 June 2020
Aston Villa v Sheffield Utd
Man City v Arsenal

Friday 19 June 2020
Norwich v Southampton
Spurs v Man Utd

Saturday 20 June 2020
Watford v Leicester
Brighton v Arsenal
West Ham v Wolves
Bournemouth v Crystal Palace

Sunday 21 June 2020
Newcastle v Sheffield Utd
Aston Villa v Chelsea
Everton v Liverpool

Monday 22 June 2020
Man City v Burnley

So a double gameweek for Arsenal, Aston Villa, Sheffield Utd and Man City

[James]

I don't know what to do with my team. It's been so long.

[MTVN]

This is the only double game week so I have used my free hit to bring in a lot of Arsenal, Sheffield United and City players

I didn't need the unlimited transfers they're offering this week as I was using them as they accumulated through the dead weeks to improve my team :smug:

[James]

Nice goal from Ings.

I've done pretty well so far this week.

[James]

Oh, I don't have Ings anymore. Swapped him for Abraham.

[MTVN]

:joker: just as he adds an assist

[James]

I need a goal from Pukki.

[MTVN]

I am on 66 points this week with all my players still to play again :smug:

[Calderyon]

I took a relatively high risk.

[James]

Latest table.

https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=4978&stc=1&d=1592905497

[James]

The deadline for next gameweek is today at 5:00 PM.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Just did my teams

[MTVN]

I scored 101 points this week :smug:

[Shaun]

I got 86. Could've got 98 if I captained Mahrez instead of Aguero :(

[Shaun]

also MTVN you aren't in the TiBB league :suspect:

[MTVN]

Yes that's because if I was I would live in perpetual fear that someone would have a look at my team, see I'm in a TIBB league and realise my associations with a Big Brother forum

So I just boast about my unverifiable prowess in here instead

[James]

We can create another league called 'Generic Fantasy League' or something and combine the two.

Here's the latest table.

I might have went too far.

Magnus Carlsen is the world chess champion.

[Shaun]

I'll be happy with third!

[Calderyon]

I will place either 5th or 6th. Maybe 7th.

[MTVN]

I scored 102 points this week on my bench boost :hee:

[Calderyon]

You not in the TIBB league, so it doesn't matter.

[James]

I used up my bench boost this week too. I've still got my triple captain to play this week.

In a few leagues with friends but this is the most serious one where I might just break the top 5 and my team for this week

[MTVN]

I used up my bench boost this week too. I've still got my triple captain to play this week.

Who are you thinking of using it on :think:

[James]

Who are you thinking of using it on :think:

De Bruyne would be the obvious one because they are playing Norwich at home, but you never know with Pep how he's going to change his team.

[Calderyon]

OK.

Love the blackenings, by the way

[MTVN]

I'm not sharing other people's names on here lol

[Calderyon]

That meant to say, love the blackings tbh. But my tablet decided otherwise.

By the way, maybe our names should be blackened out too :hmm:

Well, mine is not real anyway, but whatever.

[MTVN]

You were outfoxed by a fellow robot eh :think:

[Calderyon]

It didn't understand what I meant and acted stupidly. An older model, I guess.

I will fix it's error now.

[Calderyon]

You should participate next season, MTVN.

[Shaun]

Arsenal vs Watford 0-1 at 18th

can you not type that when it's 1-0 to us :oh: 0-1 implies Watford are winning, and I wasn't keeping up yet

[Calderyon]

Whoopsie.

[James]

We could be seeing a turnaround at the top of the TiBB League with the number of points De Bruyne is scoring as triple captain.
