#FPL Game-week # 4 for season 2024/2025 is done and dusted.

Well done everyone; no matter what your score was, it’s only the first week down of a long season, so onwards and upwards from here.

Just to recap:

First off, give yourself a big hand – you’re one of a whopping 10,285,440 players world-wide who have (so far) joined the EPL Fantasy Comps comp – WOW!!

WTF Classic League 2024/2025

WOW!!

There’s been more movement after this 4th game-week.

This time round, That were diabolical smashed what proved to be a very tough round of footy with a great 80 points. Soccerwhos came in next with a not-so-shabby 64 points while teammeh and yayayayayayaTOURE shared 3rd highest score of the round with 57 points.

Huge congrats to these and to everyone really – the scores were pretty high even going lower in the leaderboard - please check the Barclays Premier League website for full details.

That brings us to the ladder after 4 game weeks:

That were diabolical is now outright leader with 298 points, from Diogo Your Own Way on 295 in 2nd, and holding down 3rd spot is Bon Vivant with 285 points, albeit in a very close leaderboard. even at this 4th game week mark.

And pretty close as we go down the ladder too.

Well done all.

WTF Head2Head Season 2024/2024

Here, with this season’s H2H comp having 13 entrants, being a weekly format of mate against mate, we have 6 winners, with the odd player against “average.”.

Congrats to Diogo Your Own Way, Fleet Feet, R3D Devils, Slip Slot Slap, Teammeh and Soccerwhos with wins this round (and Laroche losing to “Average.”.

At this early stage, we have Diogo Your Own Way as outright leader on 12 points, with Delta Blues and Fleet Feet sharing 2nd spot on 9 points, and holding equal 3rd spot on the ladder is a cluster of 7 teams each on 6 points – namely teammeh, Soccer Not Football, Laroche, Soccerwhos, Slip Slot Slap and R3D Devils.

Well done all.

Now, moving on:

It’s just 4 weeks down and as the old line goes: It’s not a sprint – it’s a marathon of 38 match weeks, so settle in for the FUN to come!

Besides, the elevator to outright tipping success is sometimes out-of-order and we then have to use the stairs: one tip at a time! Hang in there and just do it!

Game-week 5 starts Saturday night AEST 21 September.

If not too sure at any time, check any of the multitude of web resources, f/b, twitter – there’s a zillion “experts” all wanting to say they know!

Choose wisely.

We just need to release our own:

Any idea what players get bonus points for? Must admit I have no idea of how things are scored beyond the basics of goals, assists and clean sheets. Just wrapping my head around the difference between who looks like a good player and who is actually a good Fantasy player.

Such a good question, champion @full80.
You're so right - a good football player, doing a great job in his position for his club, might be - or might NOT be - a great fantasy player.

If you log into the Barclays Premier League website, then get into the fantasy area, you'll find (reading left to right) a green heading with the word: "Stats." if you click on there, you'll find all the players listed who have scored points in the comp to date, from most to least, in order (the players are nominated by name, club, position etc.). This updates from game week to game week. It's a pretty good source of which player is doing better than others.

Now for the matter of bonus points - this is from the Help secion of the Fantasy site:

"The three best performing players in each match according to the Bonus Points System (BPS) will receive additional bonus points. 3 points will be awarded to the highest scoring player, 2 to the second best and 1 to the third.
Examples of how bonus point ties will be resolved are as follows:
  • If there is a tie for first place, Players 1 & 2 will receive 3 points each and Player 3 will receive 1 point.
  • If there is a tie for second place, Player 1 will receive 3 points and Players 2 and 3 will receive 2 points each.
  • If there is a tie for third place, Player 1 will receive 3 points, Player 2 will receive 2 points and Players 3 & 4 will receive 1 point each."
Champion @full80 - hope that helps a bit.
But remember, this game is not a science, there's' no guarantees, and guess what: we're all in the same boat, ie a bit of knowledge, a bit of emotion following your favoured players and teams, and a BIG chunk of luck!

Enjoy all the weeks of this game as the season pans out.

Thanks Tiger One, this reply is definitely above and beyond. Excellent. Thanks so much. As a less passionate EPL fan I find the Fantasy more fun than the NRL variety, as I don't have the lifelong rivalries and hatreds I have in NRL. In NRL, for instance, no matter how good the stats were there are just some teams and players I could never choose. Let's face it, my NRL team would probably have 13 Tigers in it. Lol. Cheers have a great weekend
