Nice prize - a full set of TaylorMade irons.

They have done away with the groups, so you just pick 12 players from 1 big group.

I was hoping they were going to lose the Fri transfer :roll:

Without the groupings it's going to be easier to ditch the duds and bring in the leaders - no skill in that! :x

I agree - with just one group it takes a lot of tactics and depth out.

Such a shame. Hate the Friday transfers but now all the skill has all gone. On the plus side if I can remember the Friday transfer now the skill has gone I might have a chance of winning!!!

You are kidding - that takes nearly all the skill out of the game.
Everyone will just pick the favourites as there is no point trying to analyse the form and get a clever outsider of you can change half you team and take most of the speculation out of it.
Basically it is now a game where you will need to take a chance on a player you think will have a good couple of rounds over the weekend in the double point events as nearly everyone will have the same teams.

And it increases the chances of the most annoying thing in Fantasy Golf...transferring out the eventual winner :lol:

I have had some shockers with that - mainly getting rid of Spieth. I once transferred him out at 11:30pm when he was missing the cut, only for him to be second at the end of the 3rd round and the player i replace him with went from 1st to late 20s - a 16 shot swing.

It's almost like, they see all the criticism of Friday transfers, and think "right how can we fix this? I know, let's do EVEN MORE transfers" :shock:

Whoever is making these decisions is an absolute moron. there is literally no skill now, it's be lucky enough to have the captain as the weekly winner and transfer in the 6 best you don;t already have.

They better sort it out for the summer game.

This game seems to have become a bit of a farce and virtually eliminated any skill but as I haven't got any skill, I'll still be playing! :mrgreen:

I've set up a FISO league.

To give yourself even more chance of the perfect score, don't forget you can enter as many teams as you like.

Just need separate email addresses for each team.

With my brain put to sleep by these ridiculous changes I managed to start a 'duplicate' league by creating instead of joining :oops: Apologies for any confusion but at least the codes are different

Hopeful of finishing joint top this week. Only difference will be the captains most weeks - might as well only pick one player a la Polarbear's Last Man Standing

Had 7 golfers in the top 26, so only worth using 5 of the 6 trans.

Zero skill involved, as majority of the top 20 not on the player list!

Yup i assume pretty much everyone has the following team:-
Branden Grace
Brandon Stone
Callum Shinkwin / Stuart Manley
Charl Schwartzel
Haydn Porteous
Jaco Van Zyl
Louis Oosthuizen
Marc Warren
Matt Wallace
Robert Macintyre
Romain Langasque
Thomas Aiken

Where is the skill in that.
It is a question of who has the better captain picks over the season.

Just made my 6 transfers. Hadn't bothered looking at or changing my team from last week as assumed most or all would be playing again this week. Can still get a very good 12 for the weekend with what looks to be 9 of the highest placed eligible players after day 2. Madness.

It’ll improve when two tournament are running concurrently.

At the moment it’s all about picking the correct captain, which I did in week one.

Just an heads up that this resumes on Thursday evening. Again, it’s all about picking the correct captain because we’ll all end up with very similar teams.

All the best for 2019 everyone.
