2018 Forum H2H League & Pigeon Cup

Nice substitution trick "WELCOME TO THE ZUNGUL" ;)
It was too tempting to pass on Friday night. After that start, I actually was considering matching your Almiron choice as captain once I subbed him in, but then it felt a little dirty so I convinced myself not to! Should have gotten dirty :)

My autosub didn't kick in, is there a setting buried somewhere?

Mine did, but did not switch places. But his points count. Did you add it up? Because it should be automatic and I don't think you can even turn it off this year. The only limit is that the switch has to leave you with valid formation. So if you started only 3 defenders, and one did not play, and your sub defender didn't play, then you can't autosub in a mid or forward because you have to have at least 3 defenders.

Same. I did not like any of the defensive choices this week except maybe Revs at home. But I didn't want to get blown away by a classic revs 10th min red 4-nil loss, so i put them on the bench. Then I figured hmm if they do implode then piatti benefits and even so he's worth 5-7 just from everything flowing through him. So I put piatti in for the sure points (doh!), and all my revs on the bench for the free look sub trick. Subs worked out, and then I wanted almiron cap for what I thought would be a high scoring game, but I just felt too dirty to use all the tricks of the trade by matching almiron cap. I figured almiron = vela so capped him instead. Ugh, 5 minutes went from 'meh not a huge miss' to 'wtf im gonna lose this week just to a cap'. He got to take 2 pks in garbage time when i actually thought VAR was going to give almiron a red for a second yellow dive in the box. I have no clue what the ref saw. How was that not a dive?!?!

Haven't added it to check, and it was by no means a deciding factor. But it was D for D so should be valid.
 
Week 7 starts with our game tonight. NYCFC is the only team with a DGW so make sure you get who you want in your lineup before the game tonight.

There was a significant unannounced rule change. Spring Season is now Weeks 1-17 and Fall Season is now weeks 18-35 (it was 1-21 and 22-35). Because of this change I am using the awesome powers of the Commissioner to change the prize payouts to make the Fall and Spring season awards equal. Pigeon Cup is still $270, but these are the new prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

1st Place $200 (Spring & Fall)
2nd Place $70 (Spring & Fall)
3rd Place $45 (Spring & Fall)

Any dissenters will be severely insulted.

You realize that as treasurer I literally hold the money, right? I mean, I have no issue with this change, but let's be clear where the power lies.
Got it everyone?

So I was on the fence with starting Villa but I highly doubt he makes 2 appearances. I can see him starting tonight but no way he plays the ATL game. I leaned defense and midfield. Even if we get wrecked by ATL there’s still a chance to get good points from the Tin man and I can see Maxi playing starter minutes in both matches.

j/k. If I is gud at anything in my life that thing are maths.
I understand the logic employed to the adjustments.
But more so, I understand expected value vs terminal value.
Shorter season just bumped my probability of placing, despite nipping the prizes a bit.
I'll take that any day of the week.

As the current holder of 1st place you have the most right to complain but your dissent was a joke with a great gif.

I will not call you the illegitimate spawn of Timber Joey.

Has anyone figured out how to change formation on mobile?
Just swap out a sub you want as a starter with a starter at a different position who is in your starting lineup. I don't think this will work if you have empty spots as starters or on the bench.

Awesome that worked. Thanks a lot. Been playing a 4-4-2 since we started. Likely cost me some
