FanTeam €250k Champions League 20/21 Strategy & General discussion

[CBN]

FanTeam's Champions League 250k comp, deserves its own thread and just seen Frank the hero has it up on his website. Suspect Ricky already has the winning team with Minamino as captain locked in but for anyone else who wants to discuss the game...

825 players available to pick from already - gulp.

[BLOCKHEAD]

I'm already looking forward to my Messi captain haul against the Hungarian farmers

[CBN]

I'm having to change Frank's FDR as he's either a Man United fan or really doesn't rate RB Leipzig

[BLOCKHEAD]

There's great value to be had in a couple of the teams that reached the knockout tournament in Lisbon at the end of last season. I'm guessing Leipzig players are so cheap because they've been drawn in the so-called Group of Death, although it will be anything but that if United continue their current form

[Yorkshire Exile]

is there price changes?.... i entered a team but couldnt be arsed reading the rules

[ffstuff]

Was last year

[NortonGas]

No price changes this year

ta

[Ottershaw]

No price changes this year

Just been on to fanteam and they say price changes will take place in the champions league game depending on performance and popularity

[ffstuff]

strange, on twitter they released this

[ffstuff]

They also say the same in their promotional video for it

[Yorkshire Exile]

they are obviously in competition with the Sun to see who can fk up their own rules best

[Ottershaw]

Just been on to fanteam again and they have said there will be no price changes and they will update there own support pages to clarify the matter.

You would think fanteam would sort the competition out first b4 spouting about it on twitter.

[ffstuff]

The closer is upto 5 teams , no sign of CBN yet - all talk and no action?

[CBN]

He's a glutton for punishment that Ricky

I will be entering ten teams, started working on them today. So many players to choose from!

[ffstuff]

I see “luckyricky” is leading the way on teams entered at 25, I wonder if he could be one of RickyRosas alter egos

[Ottershaw]

No sign of Sandor, has he blown all his budget on the PL game?.

You can tell they're different people because luckyricky is actually good at Fanteam

[Ottershaw]

Ronaldo tests positive for covid

[CBN]

The big day is here! Looking forward to seeing everyone's teams and strategies. I'm still going round in circles with my teams

[BLOCKHEAD]

There's going to be a lot of overlay, right?

[LoneGunner]

Currently just a tick over 2330 entries, so only circa 600 unpaid positions pending the late rush.

I have 3 teams in but another 5 ready to go if needed. Have FanTeam removed PayPal as a payment option though? Doesn't show in deposit but you can still use it for withdrawal, and it's still outlined as an option in their support doc. PITA!

*If Frank's offer on Ricky's thread was an open one, I'd be more than happy to have my teams tagged into a mini-league for a little friendly bonus competition.

[ffstuff]

I believe Fanteam have an issue with PayPal , I had to use my debit card (which was subsequently declined and blocked and I spent an she getting unblocked and Fanteam cleared on) I believe PayPal has been down for a good few days now , certainly won’t help them get the entries in

What’s everyone doing with Messi?

Plenty of rumours about that he gets rested tonight. Too risky to go without? If he does play there is no way he is getting the full 90 minutes.

[BLOCKHEAD]

Need to wrap him up in cotton wool for the El Clásico this weekend

Have noticed FanTeam have him down as half green and half amber so there must be serious doubts over whether he starts.

[gio]

I think Messi starts and plays 90, nothing best in preparation for El clasico than scoring a hatty to boost morale

[llama]

Hoping for some leaked/early team news but seems unlikely.

[Yorkshire Exile]

I have one team. Which I spent 2 minutes on.


Hit and hope.


I considered working on a meta strategy but in the end thought bollocks

Have noticed FanTeam have him down as half green and half amber so there must be serious doubts over whether he starts.

They’ve upgraded him to full green now
