GL Fantasy Football 18/19

too lazy this year

have fun

The manager may choose between 3 team dispositions, each giving a different mentality to their team: Attacking, Balanced or Defensive. This choice can be made for each round individually, and it affects the number of points players score for different achievements (goals, clean sheets etc.)

This is actually such a good feature

Fantasy Serie Zzzz back by "popular demand" with a grand total of five teams UFFFFFF

3 more teams than i expected tbh lol

Doing a gamble of the highest order with my team.

kinda happy with it.

The question might be shocking, I realize

but how exactly does this work?

which bit?

nvm I read the OP now and I think I will get along if I try

never played FF before

but how do I get points? What is the purpose? Get points based on the player of my squad how they do IRL?

yes

points are the entire purpose

it's broken down into a simple formula that you can probably find on the site

Fantasy football is great, spent too much time on it over the years and I'm do it again this year but it just dies within a month on GL besides 3-4 ppl ffs

why are all the players almost equally expensive

very unrealistic

have to spend 5% of my whole budget on some backup goalie now`*bleep* that

get someone you know is nailed on to start every game like DDG or something and then get the cheapest scrub GK possible even if he doesnt play, that's what most do

though I haven't looked at the prices this year

Spend the least amount of money on your bench that guarantees you some points if your starter doesn't start

For GKs the popular strategies are to either select a "set and forget" keeper and then get a 4.0 bencher that has a chance of playing, or 2 4.5 Gks that you can rotate for favorable fixtures

So if you're playing 3-4-3 you'll want:

your bench mid to be a 4.5 that gets guaranteed 2 points per game
your primary defender bencher to be someone that gets at least 2 points per game
your secondary backup to be a  4.0 that will probably never see the light of day, so it makes sense to go for the cheapest option possible and allocate the extra funds elsewhere (altho this season there are a few 4.0 defenders that are speculated to actually start for their teams).

I have to give my team a name?

Seeing that midfield goalscorers get a lot of points and Salah is counted as a midfielder, the choice was easy lol
Let's just say my midfield would not be balanced in real life lmao

got a GOAT team on my hands tbh

remember to join both the Gl leagues

Prices are absurd this season tbh, can't have a balanced good team with Salah in it but also can't not have Salah in your team because everyone else does

what is the other one? head to head? what's the difference

Salah and Aubameyang are no-brainers tbh.

Got another no brainer but I'm not giving it away

classic is where you are playing for the most points. Table is calculated by points.

H2H is where you play against each other. basically PL. you win you get 3 points etc

I'm going to compile a team without Salah and I will beat most of you scrubs, wanna bet.
