That time of year again folks. Game is now live and we can pick our teams.

FYI app not working for Irish users so just use website version.

thunderdog · 16-07-2021 9:28pm

Good stuff-looking forward to another season. I haven’t checked player prices for sky yet. Hopefully a few bargain players about

manual_man · 19-07-2021 11:48am

Bring it on. I'm not liking the 3 gameweeks before overhaul setup, but looking forward to it anyway

Is there a boards league set up yet?

manual_man · 19-07-2021 1:03pm

Boards FSA league PIN 8476352

I'm getting a "this app is not available in your location" error. Had a look on Twitter and it's an issue they're aware of and working on and in the meantime said to use a browser. Just said I'd post in case anyone else was having this problem.

2nd Row Donkey · 21-07-2021 7:07am

Yeah, getting the same issue.

manual_man · 21-07-2021 12:20pm

A work-around for the time being is to create a shortcut to the website on your home screen. For Android you can just click the 3 dots on the upper right corner and select 'add to home screen'. Saves a bit of time

Donegal1234 · 27-07-2021 11:27am

Good news the app now works in Ireland.

F1ngers · 29-07-2021 8:48am

2 team selections on 1 page with fixtures:

Position and players names are not important, filling in their team is.

county · 29-07-2021 1:02pm

The app worked for me last week but today it isn't.

My two teams are Avondale Afc and Rathdrum Afc

Dearg81 · 31-07-2021 11:24am

Yea the android app worked yesterday when I created my team but it's blocking me today.

manual_man · 01-08-2021 3:24pm

9 teams so far in the Boards league. You can enter both your teams BTW

PIN again is 8476352

Donegal1234 · 10-08-2021 11:10pm

How is everyones team coming along.

2nd Row Donkey · 11-08-2021 7:03am

Not to bad. Picked a team that I'm happy with but did so without looking at the opening fixtures so that's probably going straight on the bin for another team tonight

thunderdog · 11-08-2021 7:13am

Tsinikas seems to be a popular cheap option now in FPL with Robertson out-does the same apply in SKY? He should hopefully get the games until overhaul (unless Milner slots in for a game)

manual_man · 12-08-2021 12:04pm

Are we all set more or less?

2nd Row Donkey · 12-08-2021 1:33pm

Less.

Totally unprepared for both FPL and SS... Mostly down to the lack of activity on boards in terms of preseason news, match reports etc. Although it has picked up this week I feel I'm very much shooting in the dark.

Why does it said invalid code when i tried to join?

Haven't really looked at anything over the last couple of weeks or paid attention to any friendlies. A lot of work to do tomorrow but I am probably going to pick a fairly reliable team. Are the TV schedules set in stone now?

manual_man · 12-08-2021 6:04pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117743773#Comment_117743773

No idea. I've had additional teams join the league yesterday and today.

My bad, this is the sky sport fantasy football. Not for the official fpl league.

Sorry about that.

If anyone here knows the code for boards.ie free league for fpl, do share.

Seems like last season mod didnt renew it this season.

manual_man · 13-08-2021 1:24pm

We're up to 30 entries in the Boards FSA league now keep 'em comin' 👍️👍️

Father Hernandez · 13-08-2021 2:20pm

First year doing the Sky game.

Sanchez

Silva, TAA, Tsimikas

Barnes, Mahrez, Bruno, Benrahma

Salah, Ings, Toney

3 captains in Toney, Salah, Mahrez if I have it correct (?)

claw · 13-08-2021 2:26pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117747740#Comment_117747740

That's the one. Try and cover each matchday on a weekend with a captain for the first 3 gameweeks. Overhaul while the international break is on.

F1ngers · 13-08-2021 2:26pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117747740#Comment_117747740

You have.

You can also have 2 teams.

Father Hernandez · 13-08-2021 2:34pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117747795#Comment_117747795

Thanks for the tip.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117747797#Comment_117747797

Pardon my ignorance, what's the benefits of two teams?

F1ngers · 13-08-2021 2:36pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117747868#Comment_117747868

Twice the chance of winning. :pac:

Pick different players for your 2nd team.

If I remember, I only have Salah and Bruno in both.

claw · 13-08-2021 2:37pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117747868#Comment_117747868

2 chances of winning 😀 I guess the 2nd team is mainly if you are undecided over a couple of positions in your 1st team and you can put in other players instead in the 2nd one. It's what I do anyway.

Father Hernandez · 13-08-2021 2:53pm

Thanks for that @F1ngers & @claw. Second team locked in.

manual_man · 13-08-2021 6:58pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117747406#Comment_117747406

33 teams. Get your entries in quickly if you want to join, everybody

Father Hernandez · 13-08-2021 10:07pm

Sorry for the noob question but given Toney was MOTM in game, does he get the points in the game then or is it awarded some other way?

county · 13-08-2021 10:37pm

Best of luck lads for the season and don't forget about the super 6.

claw · 14-08-2021 10:21am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117750027#Comment_117750027

He gets the bonus in the game so he got 5 or 10 depending on whether you captained him.

thunderdog · 16-08-2021 7:04am

Decent start to the season-only points missed was switching Benrahma to Harrison late enough on Friday.

Aiming to not make any transfers until after the overhaul (barring injuries)

F1ngers · 16-08-2021 8:56am

Have Diop in one of my team, will have to get rid.

Other than injuries not planning on any other transfers.

claw · 16-08-2021 9:54am

Very happy with my 2 teams considering they are both quite different. Wasn't expecting to be that high up the leaderboard in the top 5k considering most teams at the top are changing monthly prizes.

thunderdog · 16-08-2021 11:30am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117760661#Comment_117760661

My strategy this year is to go with the exact same teams until the second overhaul and then diverge from there. May or may not work, we’ll see

DJIMI TRARORE · 16-08-2021 3:01pm

125 pts and just inside 5k,obviously all the (c) choices clicked sat and Sun, none Fri, but standard is high. Anybody able to set the captains up for next week, always like to do it early, but not allowed yet, on app

claw · 17-08-2021 7:09pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117762389#Comment_117762389

They have a flag up on the site saying there is an issue with selecting captains, won't be available till Friday.

F1ngers · 20-08-2021 9:33am

Used a transfer to get rid of Diop, but I now don't have a captain for MNF.

Do I take it on the chin or bring in someone to captain.

It will be White to a Hammers defender v Leicester.

Thinking of keeping the transfer as very likely they will concede.

patmac · 20-08-2021 10:49am

Captain problem fixed now.

F1ngers · 20-08-2021 11:07am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117779272#Comment_117779272

Traore out until at least after the int. break, so will bring in a Hammers mid.

thunderdog · 23-08-2021 1:22pm

Tsimikas owners-are you planning on keeping him until the overhaul or shipping him out this week?

claw · 23-08-2021 1:40pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117792778#Comment_117792778

I have him and haven't decided yet. Have made a good start so might just leave it. Klopp might not play Robertson for the full 90 if he does play.

thunderdog · 23-08-2021 6:46pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117792862#Comment_117792862

Similar to yourself, I’ve had a decent start so might also just leave it until the overhaul. The original plan was to not make any transfers until after the overhaul so will try to stick to that plan

claw · 24-08-2021 9:48am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117794327#Comment_117794327

Definitely leaving it after last night. Some punishment for those that don't have Antonio.

thunderdog · 24-08-2021 12:13pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117796182#Comment_117796182

Yeah I thought he would be much higher owned than he is.

His ownership yesterday before the match:

12.4% overall

66% top 1k

thunderdog · 28-08-2021 10:21pm

Overhaul will be interesting-Lukaku/Ronaldo-both maybe?

claw · 29-08-2021 12:47pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117817139#Comment_117817139

Lukaku looked good in the 1st half yesterday so he is definitely an option. I think Ronaldo signing will have a knock on effect on Bruno. I see they still haven't decided if he is a midfielder or striker. A lot of good options this season so I can't see how there will be template teams like there was last season.

county · 31-08-2021 12:57pm

Well Ronaldo has gone into both of my teams,hoping for 20 plus goals from him.

Sky sports fantasy football 21/22 race to 50k.
