She Plays has a good one. Someone sign us up as a league and we can play along. https://sheplays.com.au/ https://sheplays.com.au/my-leagues
I have requested for the Big Soccer league to be created. Will share the code as soon as they send it to me.
hmm...dunno if it works - I entered the code but nothing happens... (writing any other gives "invalid league code" message)
Still one player short. (under 325k $) Need reserve FW and I'm thinking about one of: Wang Shanshan Ludmila Bia Zaneratto Ajara Nchout What say you?
Our league is published. Only 7 participants so far... But they all look good. https://sheplays.com.au/league/BigSoccer826
I've saved my team: have i to do anything else? Edit: apparently I joined the league, I selected a team with captain and bench, and I joined at 20:58! (Thus the nickname Random-Last-Minute-Team ). If I did anything wrong is too late to change, I'd say: game started. World Cup started. I now watch the game and don't care.
I see some recurring names in the teams: almost everyone of us hopes to receive some shoot-out points from Labbé . Many Japanese players from me and @Lechus7, but @zdravstvuyte too has Sameshima. To @Lechus7: I would have gladly chosen Iwabuchi too, but I am worried by her physical conditions. Since I made all at the last possible minute, I ended up not spending 525.000! I am aware it was a waste of money. I'll try to understand how to spend this money later someway.
Can anyone confirm to me that I am correctly in play? "My team" page says in a worrying shade of red that I can't make changes to my team until the first transfer window, but I guess I had managed to finalize my team and subscribe to the league just a few minutes before 9:00 pm, so I should be competing right now. Or at least I hope so, because, although I had to choose in a hurry, it looks like the idea of spending a big chunk of my budget on Renard wasn't a bad decision at all, was it?
For a long while I thought: "I don't really have the time to actually follow this one also". Then, at the last possible moment (about 30 minutes from the start of France-South Korea) I said to myself: "Oh, come on! The World Cup only comes each four years: fully enjoy the ride!". Since I've done things in a rush, I still have many doubts about how the game works, that have not been completely solved by reading the "how to play" page: 1) are the scores only updated at the hand of a "round" of games? I see we are still currently all at 0 points, despite some of our players having scored, so I suppose updates will happens later; 2) I went to the stats page the "ShePlays" platform claims to use to calculate the scores, FBref, but actually I found no way, there, to calculate things like: "crosses, shots, shots on target" or "tackles and intercepts", that should be part of "Attack points" and "Defense points": are these supposed to be attached to single players or teams as a whole? And anyway, where these stats can be retrieved? 3) You are given the 5 points of a "clean sheet" if all the teams of your GK and DFs get a clean sheet? Or any defensive player whose team had a clean sheet gives you 5 points? 4) Since I had to rush the composition of my team, I ended up with about $ 525.000 left in my pocket. I am quite satisfied with my team anyway, but I wonder: can the money I spared be somehow useful when the next trasfer windows will come or did I just wasted it? 5) (Joke) Can I keep Renard's assist to Mbock-Bathy despite the VAR?
I can now finally see your team again: you were almost super-natural in choosing your French players! Apart from the obvious ones, as Lechus7, what are the respective names of our teams? So we can brag a little here about our successful choices (that's a big part of the fun! ). As I mentioned, I am "Random last-minute-team" (couldn't find any better name, while being in a rush!).
All our teams are back In the list. Temporary glitch they said. Yes blissett, I am a bit of a Cassandra and have had great luck on many of these fantasy whatevers. Having said that my squad is full of left side of the bracket teams so I’ll be trashed come later in the competition.
Actually... I now see 7 teams in the list (mine included), but you wrote that there were 7 participants already some hours before I made my team and joined. So, maybe there is still one missing team?
My team is the one with the French name obviously. I don't have Renard because expensive and my view is overrated ( lol)
I have Renard. But @zdravstvuyte has Renard, Henry and Le Sommer! Can anyone answer to any of my questions above?
These player points will be viewable at https://t.co/9WpeDO3ri2 later this afternoon on our Fixtures and Results page! Fantasy team scores for your starting XI will be calculated and updated at the end of the round 😀— ShePlays Fantasy League (@sheplays_au) June 8, 2019
