Fantasy Champions League The Last 16 2018/19
We are posting this just in case it takes you by surprise by its sudden return on Tuesday evening. It’s been a long break and you probably can’t even remember who is in your team, never mind whether or not you were doing well in it! Either way it’s time to make amends and get back on the the wagon. We felt it right to also give a reminder of the nuances too. The first being that there are essentially 4 ‘match days’ within this single round; Tuesday 12th, Wednesday 13th, Tuesday 19th and Wednesday 20th. You can switch your subs in and your captain around ahead of each one, until you land on what you feel is an acceptable sticking point.
You can access the game here – Fantasy Champions League
The main points are these;
THE 1ST DEADLINE
Tuesday (12th Feb) at 8pm UK time.
Set your team and make sure you have the players who play on Tuesday in your starting 11. Make sure your (first!) captain plays on Tuesday too, you can switch him and your Wednesday players in later if needs be. And likewise next week too.
THE 2ND DEADLINE
Wednesday (13th Feb) at 8pm UK time.
Yes, there are multiple deasdlines, four in this particular in fact. The 2nd is prior to the next ‘match day’, as they like to call it. The purpose is that you get to switch your aforementioned players in for anyone who hasn’t performed on Tuesday. And most importantly you can select a new captain if your Tuesday guy did a ‘Sane’.
The 3RD & 4th DEADLINES!
The 3rd is next Tuesday the 4th is on Wednesday. It’s the same principal throughout; make sure your early players are in your 11 and that these later guys are ready to be called into action.
Transfers
Prior to the ‘Round of 16’ (this one!) everyone gets a Wildcard; so yes, you can select a new squad now and start afresh. You also get an increased budget of £105m and in this round you can now select 4 players from each team, rather than the standard 3.
You get 3 free transfers before the 2nd legs of this round begin. That’s in a couple of weeks, not before Wednesday, or indeed next Tuesday, before anyone asks / gets confused!
Fixtures
The 4 ‘match days’ ahead look like this;
THE FF247 LEAGUE
This is looking as competitive as ever and it’s good to see a a few familiar names in the current top 10. We’ve tried to keep it as much to ourselves as possible so that it is mainly ‘Regulars’ from here but some tool did tweet it out from the site handle so there a few unknown participants!
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
Captain Mbappe!!!
Zed Leppelin
De Gea denies a second
Zed Leppelin
Would have been Di Maria’s third assist though
DMC
You will now have headaches to whether or not to change capo! Unless he scores one more of course.
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
He should have a hat trick
Frenchie
Glad I went for Di Maria in the end!
Zed Leppelin
Same here!!
Raziel
Saw his emotion after he setup the first goal? Seemed like hatred to the United supporters, provoking them. My guess is they were very bad to him before that? Was such a waste United let him go.
Raziel
Ps. Kimpembe shouldn’t be on the pitch anymore… should have been sent off before the goal.
Zed Leppelin
Yeah, he was treated badly at United, he’s definitely enjoying this… Don’t know why they let him go, he’s a great player, no one can pass the ball at United like he can imo, great through-balls…
Raziel
I remember again. He was unhappy at United. Especially the family life or something. Also think he was robbed. He asked to be transferred out.
Raziel
My God, that manager of PSG is annoying as hell. Reminds me of that nerdie guy from scooby doobie doooooooooooooo! What was that series called again? Anyway, him…. but with ADHD and super annoying. HAHA. What country is he from? Either German or French?
Zed Leppelin
Wasn’t it called scooby doobie doooooooooooooo? 🙂
Raziel
I think you’re right. Hmmm Shaw now showing he’s really not good enough for this level.
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
Frenchie
You didn’t knowTuchel? He’s German, was Dortmund’s manager before.
Raziel
I know he was Dortmund manager, just didn’t know where he was from. Haven’t followed the Bundesliga for years……….. didn’t know he was this annoying.
Frenchie
Just arrived for second half of MU PSG, PSG looking like putting a lot of pressure.
How was first half?
Zed Leppelin
It was very different, United played well in the first half, high pressure and all that, the game changed completely after the first goal…
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
Zaniolo goal!!!
DMC
Do I have Zaniolo? Yes!!
Frenchie
Jeez I should have gone for him. He’s so cheap!
DMC
In deed. Him, Reguillon and also the Roma keeper are bargains!
DMC
And now another! Brilliant!
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
Woo-hoo!!
Frenchie
A 4.7 midfielder scoring a brace, that’s something! Well done to those who got him, I’m envious.
