    I see that Sky are running a competition which is almost identical rules wise to their Premier League competition.

    Would there be any interest here in a pay mini league with a small entry fee?

    They have a function as well to collect entry fees for mini leagues and pay out at the end in whatever split the entrants decide.

    So anyone interested? If so, suggestions welcome re entry fee and prize payout structure.

    we can do a free league of course as well to have a bit of interest.

    Happy to play.

    €20.

    Just a suggestion, depending on entrants, up to 10, winner takes all, up to 20, 70/30, over 20, 65/25/10.

    Just bumping the thread up a bit....3 teams in the free league and just one other interested in a pay league. I’ll keep an eye on this thread in case any more interest. Probably need 5 minimum to go ahead with a pay league

    Just logged into Sky Fantasy. I don't play the PL one. Are the rules exact same for WC one? Can't find the rules on the website for the WC Fantasy...


    *ignore, found em. WC rules throwing into main rules. I'll have a read.

    The rules are there, in with the rules of the FPL, sort of like an addendum.

    Took me longer than I'd care to admit to find them.

    Got them, thanks.


    Whats the story with captain? I can change it throughout the gameweek? So pick one captain Monday, and change on Tuesday then if I want to a different player yet to play? Or is that wrong.

    When you select your team, there is a captains tab, you can select a captain for each game day, assuming you have a player playing that day.

    And the highest scoring player (of which I've selected) is my captain at the end of the game week then?

    I set up a team for the FIFA WC Fantasy, and my head confused enough after that game.....

    And also, do transfers carry if not used in a GW?

    "For our World Cup competition you will receive 3 transfers per Gameround, giving you a total of 21 transfers to use during the tournament. "

    All your captains are your captains.

    https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119881908#Comment_119881908

    It reads as though they do carry over, but because there is an overhaul, I'm not so sure.

    I'll do the paid league. Just entered a team there, the prices seem generous as I was able to pick any 3 forwards I wanted.

    5 as below for a paid league, probably enough to run with I think. We might get a couple of more yet as well.

    Hackers,

    F1ngers,

    Thunderdog,

    Dearg 81

    I assume we will go with setting this up so that Sky holds the money ? If so, I can set up the league and pm the code.

    We will need to set up the league ASAP, i need to set the prize split when doing that. I guess I will go winner takes all as we are unlikely to double our list of entrants at this stage.

    On the entry fee, I’m happy with 20 as suggested.

    Will payment work if you've self excluded sky betting account? Set up the league and I'll see if let me pay. But I'm good with 20 anyway if can get payment through.

    Just realised they want you to upgrade to a sky bet account, have ladbrokes, not interested in another one.

    Revolut, paypal or bank transfer for me.

    That rules me out so paying via Sky.

    Like yourself, I can pay via; Revolut, paypal of bank transfer. No issue with such.

    Let’s go with Revolut as 1st option, then PayPal, then bank transfer.

    I will PM number for Revolut for those who have indicated an interest so far and will then send league code once received

    Right folks,Enner Valencia or whoever plays in goals for Equador is the c choice for tomorrow, edging to GK and then Pickford in v Iran as both have a strong chance of clean sheets.Any other ideas?!!!

    I've Estupiñán in at the moment, from what I've read he's on set pieces for them. Attacking threat and their defence was fairly tight in the qualifiers. Will be leaving some money itb to upgrade him afterwards though.

    I’m also on Estupinan-originally had the Ecuador GK but my thinking is that if they get a clean sheet they should get similar points, with Estupinan the outside chance of getting additional passing bonus and/or an attacking return

    I've him and MF Caicedo as of now. Not sure if will have both come tomorrow, have funds ITB to move em on when see England team then, more than likely onto Trippier.

    Another note, the FIFA Fantasy game seems to be some feck up, the state of the rules. Seems insane the whole Wildcard you can use for MD2 and into making your MD3 team then.

    Yeah I was trying to get my head around the FIFA game earlier, don't think I can be bothered with it. I like the Sky game because it's straightforward and the rules are clear.
