Diary of a Premier League Fanteam Fantasist

[aurora]

Need a Vardy Party tomorrow

[BLOCKHEAD]

You should never give anyone the armband away to Liverpool with their record at Anfield.

Vardy looks a great captain option this upcoming GW.

[aurora]

easy to say after but at the time Liverpool's defence look weakened and I thought they get a pen which Vardy takes, Leeds and Chelsea have also scored 3's there the last few months, don't think an empty ground even matters much when it comes to home/away

130 points behind, there's no chance I will be troubling the top 20 this season, top 100 an outside possibility, have 2 transfers next, will plough on regardless, good luck to anyone up there in the mix

[aurora]

Transferred out Havertz and Werner
Transferred in Salah and Watkins

Subbed out Meslier for Darlow, White for Vestergaard and Podence for the departed Havertz, who's now Salah

Vardy is Captain v Fulham
Sterling Vice Captain

said last week was not hopeful at all and as it turned out it was my second worst week, 70+ points a genuine possiblility this week

[aurora]

So last week I brought in Watkins, he missed a penalty, had a goal ruled out by VAR by a mililililililimetre and then to top it off, had his fixture this weekend postponed

I will keep him on the bench though, he can keep Darlow and Mitchell company.

[BLOCKHEAD]

I assume you went with Sterling as captain this week? Decent return from him, although so many would have gone KdB(C) meaning it's mostly as you were.

[aurora]

Vardy was captain, lost 12 points on Sterling/Salah. Sheff United 1pt this season and there for the taking, Vardy Sheff Wednesday fan, etc motivation, at least that was the logic, exactly the same points behind top as last week, had a half decent run in the weekly, should have considered Zaha, fooled by West Brom's recent tight defence, oh well. Have 2 transfers next week, thinking of getting rid of Rashford at this point.

Be on guard next week, game week 12 starts this Friday but gameweek 13 starts Tuesday, first game then is at 6pm so deadline would be 4.30pm.

[aurora]

I had 2 transfers free this week, just used 1, which was Rashford to Wilson
Also brought in Darlow for Meslier, and Watkins in for Bowen.
As long as I'm in the money, which atm is 45 euro's, I shall persist
My aim is to get to GW19 in the same or higher position than now to use the wildcard as I really need to clear the decks, want a brand new back 4 and looking at the fixtures no which way to go.
Playing catch up from the off is no fun though.

[aurora]

Slipped 7 points further back, initially had Vardy as captain then changed to Wilson losing out on 11 extra points, this has happened too often, I'll probably play it with a straight back mid week and pick Sterling as Captain, have 2 free transfers and will use them, going to take Vardy out so I can upgrade Podence who I've been dying to get rid of for weeks. Actually moved up 600 places in the table to 2334 but the top team makes me look worse than I maybe am, he's 30 points ahead of second.

[Biddles32]

Top place has got very lucky. Looking at his squad he’ll struggle next game week particularly as Bellerin suspended

[aurora]

I've taken Bowen out for Mane and Vardy out for Ings, Podence gets a stay of execution once again. Captained Sterling and Vice Captain Salah.

[aurora]

[aurora]

will be brining in 2 new defenders next week with the 2 free transfers I have I think

Fernandes 32 points haul as captain for a lot of teams saw me flying down the table, City v Newcastle and Liverpool v West Brom, captain choices next week will be mixed for a lot of people.

[aurora]

failed in my last attempt at a satellite to WCOFF, oh well, maybe next time

[aurora]

brought in Cresswell and Couful, took out Zouma and Mitchell,

[aurora]

anyone noticed on fanteam that balance has gone from euro's to pounds, wonder why that is

They sent out the following email on 5 January:

"We are writing to inform you of a planned and significant change to your UK FanTeam account.

Here at FanTeam HQ, we actively welcome and encourage feedback from our brilliant customers, on ways to improve our service and more importantly, your user experience. Since FanTeam’s rapid growth in the UK last year, we’ve been inundated with requests for users to have the options to bet, deposit and withdraw in their own currency (GBP), rather than EURO. We listened and we agree!

We have therefore scheduled for ALL UK accounts and balances to be automatically converted from EURO to GBP in 48 hours (07.01.2021, 13:00 CET), and the convertion will be done at a fixed exchange rate of £0.90 GBP per Euro. We understand and respect if you may wish to keep your FanTeam account in Euros - and that’s fine. Therefore, if you wish to opt out of this planned conversion, please email our Support Team at support@fanteam.com with your FanTeam username and opt out request.

If we do not hear back from you, we trust you’re happy for us to switch your account over to GBP currency.

Once the conversion has been processed, you can then deposit and withdraw funds in GBP, as well as play in our Sportsbook and Player Matchups game, in GBP.

In our games where you play against other users (pool betting), such as our Fantasy tournaments and Pick`em Jackpot, your buy-in in GBP will be converted to EUR at the time of purchase. You will get the exact same conversion on any winnings, so there is no loss on currency exchange. In case you currently have an active bonus, our team will automatically issue you a new bonus.

We trust that you will welcome this imminent update with open arms and continue to enjoy playing on FanTeam, but now in your national currency. Do let us know if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, criticism or praise!

Best wishes,

Andreas Sundal
CEO of FanTeam.com"

Thanks for that, I didn't get this email for some reason, maybe it's only sent out to big players

[LoneGunner]

Must have sent it to me by mistake then!

[aurora]

I've entered a team into the NBA weekly monster, done my best with the research as my knowledge is limited but learning all the time, let's see how it goes

[LoneGunner]

Me too - good luck Aurora.

[aurora]

Only managed to get 6 bodies on the pitch this week, 2 of which were Darlow and Wison

Brough in Son for Alli and Auba for Ings, for what it's worth

feel for the those at the top who actually have something to worry about
