    Pretty good. I expected to get completely blown out, but it wasn't "too" bad. I got 49.

    Not a fan of the new layout and design. I find it much harder to navigate. Also, I've yet to find a place to check on other teams' scores and the breakdown of the score. I had to go to the league page and click on @lawsonishere 's team and they didn't show me what each player got. These are fantasy game basics, Globo. You are going backwards.

    They are going backwards... That's my issue with technology, people just change shit to change shit at a certain point and it usually leads to an inferior product or system. We can't even get this mobile app which was clutch last year tracking our opponets score/players.

    I created a lg and was inviting people and that was even a meal. I mean sure I shouldn't have waited to the last minute but I should be able to invite people with ease. One lg member's team name didn't show up until an hour b4 kickoff, I was lucky to even get him in.

    I was wondering about the mobile app. I couldn't get it going.

    Anyway, I clock in this week with a sad-sack tally of 34 points because I bet too hard on stupid Internacional, who couldn't be bothered to score...

    Did you get an invite to join the league? Last I looked, you weren't in.

    Yea, it was pretty difficult for me. At least there wasn't a lot of bait to make me tempted to load up on a small team. My main worry was too many of my picks this week were motivated by money and losing money if a player who had a great game the week previous has even an average game this week.

    I had a little more faith in Levir to keep him in check. I wanted to beef up my midfield with Cazares, so I replaced him with Gabigol...

    Bento screwed you with Leo. All and all, horrible round. Benching Grafite really hurt, but at least no one made me pay for it too much.

    What's the sang they say in college your first choice on a multiple choice is right like 80-85% of the time ? I can see why you second guessed yourself due to Santa being on the road.

    Yep, I always make the same mistake every year. I make a team early on in the week and leave myself too much time to second guess things. For me personally, I have to wait to make a team till Friday night. We got mid week games this week and they are still undergoing maintenance.

    Looks like I'm going to have to take off the shackle and chain and spend on some players next round. You guys are forcing me to do so when I wanted to build up my cartoletas for a few more rounds. Surprisingly, I didn't play any Santa Cruz player this round. I considered Neris (good play @lawsonishere) and Tiago Cardoso, but opted for other players.

    Looks like we had the same taste for strikers this week, lawson....Vitinho and Clayton. I guess that's not surprising since we rate both and neither is expensive.

    @Cool_Rob with the makings of a strong round....I might find myself in last.

    I wonder if interest in cartola lead to the different start times/spacing out of matches more. Plus it seems like cartola is growing in cultural significance, that can only help the lg.
