Steem Fantasy Premier League - Gameweek 24 Overview and Match Prediction Results!

in #sfpl7 years ago


Another week of Premier League is done and with a few surprises. Surprises are always good. Or at least for some. Liverpool lost their first match for a long time, with Fabianski probably playing his best match ever. Arsenal scored four goals in 22 minutes and secured a 4-1 win against Palace. Both Manchester clubs did what was expected and both won. Transfer wise, United also did what was expected and brought in Alexis while Mkhitaryan going to North London. Rumors about Aubameyang to Arsenal and Dzeko to Chelsea talks are ongoing, and not until the very last minute of the transfer window will we know. For now, we play the waiting game, and we can take some time to reflect on our team and The Steemit League.


The Steemit League

It's still a bit early to name the winner, but I sure do have picked my favorite to win. "Los Jokers" seems to be in control. Scoring another 72 points this match week made him move up one place to secure the 1st place. Agüero as his captain gave him 34 points, and with Alonso, De Gea, and Mahrez all scoring at least six points he made sure to take the lead, once again. Second place, "Mohammad32" had, as many, Salah as his captain which resulted in 4 points. Something many probably suffered from. You can read this post to get an overview of the chip usage. It will tell you that "Los Jokers" still has the triple captain, bench boost and wildcard left, while "Mohammad32 only has the wildcard left. That's another reason why I believe so much in "Los Jokers". "Investors XL" is still in the race and with all his chips left, I could also see him get a top three positions when the season is over. The best scoring team for this match week was "colmanlamkh lam" who scored an amazing 89 points! With both Hazard (C) and Agüero he had two players scoring more than 15 points each. Kane, and Rodriquez added another 16 points to the attack while De Gea and Alonso also scored six points each. 89 points are pretty great when you still have four players only scoring 2 points each. It didn't get him to the top 10, but let's take a look at what's separating the leader from the rest.


From 1st place to 2nd place: 13 points (9 points last week)

From 1st place to 3rd place: 51 points (44 points)

From 1st place to 5th place: 73 points (78 points)

From 1st place to 10th place: 104 points (106 points)


Prize Pool: 2247 STEEM

It has come to our attention that some players are entering the prediction contest with several accounts as there have been transactions going between them, we will monitor these before payouts go forward and disqualify the ones found doing this. Also please bear in mind that the entry for the league ended at gameweek 2, any players joining after that date and who haven't announced it in the first 2 gameweek posts won't qualify for the reward distribution at the end of the season. Everyone will be able to join the next season again and will have time to do so up to the 2nd gameweek.

I had the same problem with multiple account entry scammers on my own contest a while back which was extremely frustrating as I was forced to waste huge amounts of time investigating. I added a small rule that a ~0.01$ upvote is needed to enter which instantly removed all the scammers and the contest leechers that play just to cash out. Downside is that it's much less friendly and welcoming to new members with good intentions. With the SBD so high it's not that hard nowadays to quickly power up and it gives a good incentive for new members to 'unlock' being able to play along. Overall reaction has been very positive and some even powered up a bit and thanked me for initially kicking them from the contest. Also less work to manually run the contest and more of the prize pool is going to active members.

I agree that Los Jokers may eventually win... The fact is that if you look at all the teams in the Top 15, we all have more or less the same core players. So, it gets really difficult to find a player which will make the difference. That's why captaining is important. If you had Aguero as a captain last week, excellent! If you had Kane, not so much... It feels good to be back in your screenshot of the table ^^

Welcome back ;) You're right about the core players, but you get a decent payout by just being in top 10, so just focus on getting there. That's my goal.

Not owning Aguero on my team is becoming a problem for me. I have a front 2 of Kane and Firmino with a midfield containing Hazard, Salah, Sterling, Lingard and Anoutovic. Still got my wildcard, bench boost, triple captain and the free hit chips intact. Considering getting rid of hazard and someone else to fund my Aguero move as I have got two free transfers.

Can I join the steemit league at this point of the season?

I want to see @bayeco in the this list :(

Wow!!

I love football fantasy... I will follow up and join the game soon.. This is really nice.
