This round is gong to be stupid hard because a lot of players earned truck loads of wins while everyone else sucked. So there are a LOT of 7+ players and a lot of 2 and below.
Tough round. ByuL and herO since they aren't too expensive given their capabilities, are likely to play at a higher level sooner or later, and are the two most critical players in the league with ace potential. Leenock, Ryung, Patience, and GuMiho seem like some of the few value picks that might be on fire this round.
Anti team was easy. Creator probably won't play more than a game. DeParture isn't very good and is on MVP. Reality is overpriced.
Lol no 7 pointers. Also a lot of good 3 pointers. KT had 3 players that cost 9,9,10 which is actually ridiculous. The rest of KT costs 3 points or less. Interesting. sOs at 6, myungsik at 3 might be good picks
I'm banking on $O$ and Sexy boy going 4-0 the first week and getting momentum off of that. I hope I do better than last round, but its gonna be tough with no trading again.
okay so I tried something out again As the title say: KT IS TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE. Seriously, they are way too overpriced, yes I know they're good but not even SKT players are that expensive, which is ridiculous, last round I betted on Zest (which was 9 points) and it was worth it, but this time he's too expensive
KT is a very good team pick so I don't have complaints for it
also no safe expensive anti pick *coughLifecough* like last round, which is very hard, but CJ's players and MVP's players should be safe enough
As my team name indicates, I think this probably will not turn out well... I'm putting a lot of eggs in the Maru/soO basket, but that's kind of what you have to do this round it seems like. I know Blaze and Forte both went 0-3 last round, but I feel like they may be capable of turning things around (granted, Forte drew a pretty tough first round match in Dark). soO was kind of an easy pick, but the choice between Maru, Zest, and INnoVation was tough.
I have little faith in AFF, and even less in aLive and Super, neither of whom I think are actually that good (Bomber may have close to a 50/50 shot against Cure, but I just don't think he'll play much this round), but putting three players who had a cumulative 26 points last round on my anti-team is still pretty risky...
Got sixth place overall last round, but this round I have little to no confidence.
herO is always good and should play in every CJ match + I'm counting on CJ to play more ACE matches this round Solar & sOs are shaky currently but they are really good players and if the get their mojo back then I have 2 players equally good as 9-10 pointers Patience is quite good and should play a lot considering AFF line up Ryung played once last round and is being fielded this round too - that's good enough for me for 1 pt Losira for KT filler
Pretty easy team to make, expecting Jin Air 1st/2nd place to playoffs. Not completely sold on Leenock/Speed here though, might have to make some last minute changes
Kind of regretting not getting SoS but oh well, hopefully he loses this week and alive wins and we can do some trade-a-rinos. Very happy with patience and myungsik tho, these boyz are so cheap

change your anti team. I made the mistake of putting ByuL on my anti team when he was on IM and he had just gotten destroyed by polt in America.
Myungsik seemed like a steal at 3 points. If he wins just one game he over-performs given he could easily +6 just for being on SKT. Stork struck me as an obvious inclusion as he is the only 1 point player whose not on MVP. I waited until after the GSL group today to finalize my picks and, after doing so, I just had to go with Cure who I was already leaning towards.

don't hurt yourself now.
Sagely advice. Even with how unimpressive he looks in LotV he has never missed a match outside of all-kill rounds and is likely to rebound given how dependent CJ is on him and with no leagues to play in atm.
Main Team 8 Rogue (captain) ... one of my favorite players, I expect him to play each round and hopefully win also some Ace matches (get ready Zest!!!!), even when there will be certainly also losses as Rogue is not a big star in LotV 6 sOs ... I do not expect great performance from sOs in round robin and the play offs do not unfortunately count for FPL, but as one of his biggest fans, I want to have him in my team in any case 4 Trap ... a good protoss, will probably not play much, but at least could get some 1 points for Jin Air wins ... and if Jin Air do not do well, I do not want to have any points anyway! 3 MyuNgSiK ... I consider him as a great value pick, at least because of SKT points, but I expect him also to play more often than Classic 3 Patience ... another great value pick 1 Ryung ... I really liked Ryung's games last season (primarily in Kings tournament), he was also a proud member of my last FPL team 5 Jin Air Green Wings ... there is no other option
Anti Team 6 Reality ... overpriced 4 Bomber ... after I saw him in the first round of play offs against KT, I do not trust his skills as a player 3 Hush ... he will probably play ... because CJ do not have other players ... but he should not play very well
Somehow, I ended with too many protosses, but Cure is too expensive and HyuN is too cheap.
I must be four levels above insane to believe that this fantasy team will net me something good. Ah well, fun and games.
Why are you intentionally picking more than you need to on your anti team?
Also, here's mine. I didn't pay much attention to last PL round, so I'm hoping my intuition serves me well. Gonna go watch the games tonight/tomorrow and see if I'm wrong or right.
change your anti team. I made the mistake of putting ByuL on my anti team when he was on IM and he had just gotten destroyed by polt in America.

Yeah, It's kind of a win win to have him on my anti tho because I really like Byul, but he always disappoints me when i most need him to. maybe now that it will hurt me he will step it up :p
also made this when I thought there was trading, and was hoping he would lose to TY and I could trade him. oooh well
Relying heavily on the ByuL, Maru, sOs trio. Really should go with herO over ByuL based on recent form, but I'll take a slight risk with ByuL instead. Leenock is looking decent and I'd imagine KT will use him a bit more than Losira, Speed and Jjakji for a 4th player. Forte and Ryung are kinda good for 1 point and I think MVP has to win at some point...right? Good spread of players from different teams.
I realised my team relies too much on dem dirty Telecoms points, I tried to sneak in some JinAir player but they're too expensive. Changed aLive to Classic for dem dirty SKT points. Huge changes to anti-team because I was uncomfortable with Solar and Bomber on anti. This is the best that I came up with, might or might not get rekt but whatever.

Main Team [...]
Thanks for your team name, now I realise I have been badly reading your alias all that time, I always read 'Litcher' ^^'
As for my team, I'll go with a heart team, not a head one (since the head doesn't work anywway): The heart team
That was the worst first fpl week I have ever had by a wide margin. How do my players all manage to lose matches they should be favored in? At least the anti team lost like they were supposed to...
I can't believe it, I had Ryung on my team last season and he got me 1 point, didn't get him this season and he's already earned 7 points 2 weeks in. > <

I am sabotaged by Bomber and Reality. Without them, I would be TOP15. But of course, we can enjoy the results now as long as Jin Air has one round more than the others ... on the other hand, KT, Afreeca and Samsung behind us ... now we can be beaten only by SKT and Maru chicken.

You do, but you also get -1 point because they're in the lineup
Both Hush and Byul gave me the -1 alright but that's it or am I missing something?
You got -1 because they were in the lineup, +1 because they lost and -1 again because CJ won today
Ah, so you get rewarded for picking players in your anti that lose but are on the winning team.
But the best thing to do is picking players that don't get to play at all I guess. Hmm, I'd rather have it you get rewarded most for picking players on you anti that do play but lose so you'd take some risk.
Muhaahahahah, rank #9, I am so proud of myself! I usually just pick as many JAGW players as I can with Maru as the captain(or sOs, depends on my mood) and go fanboy, go! :D
