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!
Was painful, watching this game.
Does Pogbas red card have any effect on premier league ?
No.
It does, it means he will probaly play all the PL games untill the end of the season!
Dzeko captainers; moving him along? 16 feels ok but —> Son / Vini —> Messi etc?
Init, i’m debating Dzeko to Son with the armband.
Might just move it as I’m sure the lure of Messi vs Lyon will be too great regardless!
Agree Init, there are still some strong options after, mostly Messi but even if that one goes wrong, Man City should be there for the rescue.
Might give Vini a whirl with it tonight actually.
Of course, Sonny hatty incoming! 😉
I am thinking to gamble with Sancho 🙂
I think there will be goals in that game, hopefully both Sancho and Sonny score hatties! 😆
Is the substitution window like the deadline yesterday? Can we see team sheets before the deadline?
Yes
Thanks DMC
Why are people selling Auba…he plays SOU next? Or am I missing something?
He had a knock and was flagged yellow, he said he was fine, his agent and club said it was nothing, so many still went and dumped him.
Maybe they’re selling him to pick up Ings? Hahaha! From one injury cloud to another! Maybe we could cause a mass movement away from Auba, so we can pick him up cheaply as a differential in GW 27? Oh damn, I forgot, this is a public site, and my plans have just been read by the teeming millions who flock to FF247 mid-week!
