    You know you wouldn't get that team in American style fantasy. You can't even make that team in Cartola until you earn enough 'cartoletas.'

    No clue how cartoletas work.

    But ok a more realistic one would be

    first pick Dede
    Second pick D'Ale
    third pick Carlinhos
    fourth pick Alan Kardec
    fight pick Leandro Damiao
    sixth pick Jean
    seventh Paulo Baier
    eight Manoel
    ninth Fahel
    tenth Fagner
    eleventh Prass

    You wouldn't be able to get those either. This game actually takes a lot of skill.

    The players picked is if it would be an american style draft, i don't know how cartola works, but to me because everyone can pick the same players it's even less attractive than a regular fantasy league.

    The only fantasy league I would play would be a keepers league.

    Not bad for the first round. I had Marlone but took him out, so that's about all I can whine about.

    That's what I was actually going for. I looked that the players who had the highest drops in money after the first round, and decided to take shot on them.

    The second round is counter intuitive. You actually want players who's price went up because Cartola averages the scores from the first round and second round and the price goes up based on the average. For example, a player might score 16 in R1 and 4 in R2 and his average is 10. That's a high enough average where he will actually increase in value even though it's a lower score than the first. Only the second round is like this...
     
    NotreDameFlamengo repped this.

    I made enough but I think having a lot of money in Cartola isn't a huge advantage.

    Yup. Ha ha. First off, kudos for posting that before you took the lead. Impressive- I can't stand after-the-fact types. Oh well, tried to get fancy last week with Coritiba/Alex and screwed it all up.

    I caught a break here. I picked a few botafogo players.
    Os jogos Goiás x Botafogo, que foi na quarta, e Sport x Bahia, adiado por causa da greve da PM em Recife, não vão valer pontos para a 5ª rodada do Cartola. Portanto, não escale ninguém das quatro equipes. O mercado fecha no sábado, 17/05, às 16h30 (de Brasília)

    After two mediocre years, maybe this is my year to be a top player again. I played Goulart in Cartola.

    I had him for 2 rounds, and took him out BC they always have him starting in Cartola when he actually doesn't.

    Besides that, I'm doing horrible.

    I wonder if Mengao's pride will keep him from playing the inter players he would normally play today. The last 5 to 7 rds I feel like I've been better.
