This thread is to be used for housing the links to and the discussion of fantasy football leagues for the 2017/2018 season. Due to a lack of consistent interest in fantasy leagues for Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1, etc. we do no have plans to create GL leagues for these competitions.  However, should you wish to have your league added please PM me and I will update this OP with the links and codes/passwords to join. All members are welcome to play and compete and the banter that comes along with that is encouraged. Please try to keep it clean and within forum rules, though.

If there are enough people in classic, i will make a H2H league too.

Sticky.

Maybe we can implement some little ploys to make the game more interesting, and keep this thread active throughout the season.
Like for instance the user who gets the most points each gameweek writes a brief report on what his thoughts were around structuring the team, how he noticed trends, and what he predicts the future gameweeks will hold, who will perform or not etc etc. If someone goes on a 5-game winning run in the H2H league he will get a special avatar/signature to use. The overall winner of the Classic and H2H leagues get 1 US Dollar per PayPal from all the other participants?

Been lying on bed and doing the same since past 2 hrs as well. Had to cancel a haircut for this thing.

Serie A's Midfield options

they should allow a system with 2-3 attackers and rest defending

OUT
==============================
Thanks for adding it

6 hours later finally decided on a team i am really unhappy with

Started my Serie A team, felt like I was being conservative in my picks and saving money... ran out of money with 3 players still missing

I was struggling too, 18 players ffs and the valuation on some of them, whew.

Settled on a team

Team selection done. Best team assembled ever.  Wasn't part of the competition last year, no wonder it proved to be utter failure. Be ready for the best comeback ever.

Finally made it to get a team together, that took way longer than i thought it would ffs

Serie A tactical acumen

Did you get actual squad options?

I filled my bench with some players who probably will never play lol

Also do transfers before matchday 1 actually have limits?
i thought i can change as many times before start of the season like in PL

yea you can change as many times as you want.

A few, I settled for several 4.5 options because I don't see another way

i don't like my midfield at all.

RealGunner wrote:i don't like my midfield at all.

Same. Only have 2 midfielders that I like, the other 4 are all 5m or below.

Day 1.

Draft 10

Protip: don't get Salah

Your midfield options are suddenly much better

50% ownership tho, if he kicks ass and everyone has him as captain you are doomed

I think he was talking about the Serie A fantasy

But I agree about Salah, I had trouble with him in my team, less so without

too lazy this year

have fun
