    Fantasy Fun League Final Table

    in Fantasy Football Competition - £150 First Place Prize

    I'm definitely going to enter next season. I have in the past but sadly lose interest and/or get side tracked with work.  I've entered the Sun Fantasy Football competition this season and the last game is today - The FA Cup final. Originally it was meant to include the European games but they've stopped as it wont finish to mid August and they said they don't want it to disrupt next season's as they want to start promoting it immediately.

    I can't win the Sun contest as the leader still has 3 transfers left and is 11 points clear. I only have Pulisic and Aubameyang playing today (Pulisic may be sub?). However having monitored the teams around me since the July transfers have been introduced I can't finish lower than 8th!  Sadly only top 5 are prize positions and I'm sitting joint 3rd. The team in 2nd have no-one playing in the FA Cup as they have used all their transfers previously but are 6 points clear.  

    It's going to be strange cheering on a player from each side as opposed to an actual team.

     

     

     

     

     

    Great achievement finishing in the top 8 of the Sun, gave that up years ago never got in  the first few thousand!!

    I have looked at the Fineform System ..... it's quite handy if you just want to pick selections in lots of races. I think I posted daily selections on here at one time based on the points system

    But as Chris said earlier the obvious problem is that it takes no account of class and going

    You could get the absurdity of a horse that had previously won a 12 furlong seller at Ascot and class 6 handicap at Brighton on it's last two runs and would be top pick for today's King George at 1000/1

    So maybe a couple of refinements .......

    Do the ratings and get your top rated selections then only pick them if they have won in today's class or placed in a higher class and the going is not a negative for them

    You could also be more selective as to which races you include ....... maybe just handicaps and pattern races and leave out races where you have lots of runners with no or little form in the book

    any other ideas for adding a bit of nuance to the basic points system ?

     

     

    I used to use Fineform years ago, for the life of me I can't remember the guys name but his advice was look closer at the top 3 rated and make a decision based on other factors from those top 3
