I've learnt alot this season studying strategy and reading forums etc. reckon i will improve next season but probably so will everyone else. Funking for Betis Hotpot to win the overall job lot.
I wouldn't be pining your hopes on that, hasn't worked out well for Dazzler the last 2 years and I'm sure he could write a book on it!
Well I haven't put any work into it over the last couple of years and that lack of effort is costing me. No complaints.
It seems like every 50/50 has gone against me but that old adage 'the more I practice, the luckier I get' is kinda true. If you put the effort in, you see that all the 50/50s aren't really 50/50s but 60/40s and you make the right choices more often.
Like Teacake, I could always guarantee myself a decent finish and payday from knowing the mechanics of the game better than others and just putting in the minimum of effort. Nowadays, with all the fantasy football sites out there, it's like in poker with training sites, the standard has gotten much higher, as well as the playing field getting levelled through various rule changes.
Now way more people understand basic techniques, team structures, value for money/moneyball concepts. And even if they don't, just reading and following the advice of the fantasy sites pushes the standard way up.
So years ago everyone played terrible and it was easier to stand out. Now so many more people play 'correctly' that it makes it quite hard.
Which makes Brents current performance so impressive. He plays very non standard. I don't think he's taking tips from the sites. You could almost say he plays 'incorrectly' (which is what I alluded to way earlier in the season). But he just laughs at that. He does it Pele style........
