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!
My God. Sanchez is looking like an amateur these days. Lol.
Zaniola second goal. :p
Damn, Roma CS gone.
Is fpl life so bad you have to focus on fantasy champions league? :p
For today, until I forget a deadline and stop altogether.
Don’t agree. At least they are trying now. There was no will back then.
Only Fellaini was trying back then. :p
Depressing then if they are trying. 😉
They should be down by more.
Hehehe. They are missing Fellaini.:p
Lads knew.
Can’t change captain Pogba then?
Unfortunately not GP.
I know! More of a sarcastic ‘well done me’ than a question.
Ha.
Well done GP then?
??
I brought Pogba last minute in my team! Good inspiration
Didn’t captain him Frenchie?
Nope. It was Rashford tonight :/
What’s your comment about not being possible to change him? You can’t put the armband on another player tomorrow ?
No
Damn, I didn’t know that rule! I feel the pain. But you have Zaniolo at least, right?
Yeah but he had my captain armband up until about an hour before kick off!
It seems I can’t even substitute him…is this for real?
Yep, he’s yours to keep and you can’t move him.
Ha bees, we’re stuck mate!
Great game this.
I’m in the same boat GP, All I’ve got to look forward to now is to make sure I get my 3 City and Mane on the park next week!
There was always a chance he would let himself go against a Paris team………….. great danger……… he was stupid…………. the dude that scored the first goal for PSG should def. be sent off as welll…. and I think Ashley Young? Ashley Young threw I think Di Maria in the … he did that shit on purpose. Was freaking evil.
