Good enough so far with yesterday's points, up to rank 52
Zest made me some points last night, but with TY winning convincingly and Parting losing the night before, I am starting to regret my trade even more. Parting better eat Reality alive!

Rank 82 so far and MKP even though he lost, is looking good. Tomorrow I should stay in top100 with at least 3 points from rogue, parting or Jin Air. I don't think shine can take it vs herO but he'sbe worth it for now.

I must say, not having the overpriced Flash and Rain on my main worked out great. They just don't earn enough points for their cost.

I feel like I got the hang of fpl and I'll be in top 300 no matter what from now on, the trick is to start wk1 with players that play twice in your main and players that don't play at all in anti. Then trade following the same principle.

Man, fuck this (Z)

DRG guy. He is totally ruining my anti team, and I can't believe he beat (T)

Flash. And (P)

Billowy beat (P)

Stats! It was a crazy night for MVP.

You're actually not doing too bad, but you made a mistake by not trading drg away(or did u have no other choices?). He's a player with potential to go for ace, I hope you're not stuck with him. I knew there was a chance soO might play and win, and even if he didn't even play, and was scheduled to play vs Maru, I still traded him away, I don't want to take any chances.

But hold on last week you said this

This week killed me. From #91 to a bottom #823. DRG winning really killed me (who thought he would be picked for the Ace?) and he was fielded a total of 3 times with MVP winning, which I also never predicted given the lineups.

History repeating itself much?

I know right. Seriously though, DRG played against Flash this week and I was like "No way in hell does DRG take this, considering TvZ is arguably Flash's best matchup." And then it happened. And then MVP beat KT.

FPL? More like FML.

Edit: Also, DRG was pretty highly valued and I didn't want top trade him up for someone who I thought was better and then be stuck. Is okay; more GG more skill.

Week 3 conclusion:
[image loading]

Not bad for a first time FPL where I actually thought logically about it, but my TY -> Parting trade was bad. TY is now at 6.49 while Parting at 4.68, just from Parting losing once and TY winning once. I could've even traded TY for Byul, who won once and is now at 5.16, giving me the option to trade him for Soulkey if I must. Not to mention the +8 points or so that I would've gained from trading TY for Roro. I learned my lesson... TY, who was gonna play a TvP vs a weaker opponent (Yeah he won the ace but lost against TY. Recently buffed T/nerfed P) for Parting who had scheduled:
- 1 coin flippy PvP vs sOs, one of the best P in the world.
- 1 game that had the potential of not being played after a 3-0, which is what ended up happening

Now I'm in a dilemma: Jin Air has 2 matches left in week 4 and none in week 5, while KT has 1 in week 4 and 2 in week 5. Should I trade Jin Air for KT this week? Because after week 4 I won't be able anymore, Jin Air's trade value will be 0. KT has a game vs SKT, then 2 easy games vs IM and Prime. I think KT will not mess around anymore and will only send TY, Flash, Zest, and Stats.

Still, Rogue was finally worth it, and he only cost 5 points. Good thing I didn't trade him. Anti team losses are minimized. I am feeling good about these last 2 weeks. Stork will have to be traded away from Anti.

Finally got to trade away that fucker (Z)

DRG for

sOs, who isn't playing this week and can't play next week because Jin Air has no more matches.

Also traded (P)

Jila for

Pigbaby, because he plays and maybe wins? PvPs can be toss ups. He'll at least get points for more Jin Air wins.

And traded (Z)

Shine for

Hurricane because he was cheap, plays twice, and will probably win one of them (vs (T)

KeeN).

Holy crap my trades went from good to bad to horrible!

Of course jin air loses without sos and rogue, and I'm now stuck with the team, and 3 jin air players whose trade value will be 0. They better win their next game or I can say bye-bye to top300.

Of course TY starts wining after I trade him away.

The only thing keeping me alive is zest and mkp, and minimizing losses on anti. Wow did I botch this at the last moment or what...

Week 4 conclusion

[image loading]

The bad... Jin Air got 0-3'd and Cure lost both his games. Should've traded Rogue for someone else, that maybe plays in week5. Now I'm stuck with Cure. I got on the Cure bandwagon too late.

The good
MKP giving me 7 points in Week 4, wow! Keeping me in top 300.
Zest, as always, great captain, giving me 4 points.
Terminator gave me 4 points although I'm now stuck with him for week 5. At least one of my trades was OK this week.

But I can't help but write a new rule for next round: No more high pointers (7pts or 8pts) from SKT or IM players in my main! A 6 pointer from these teams that doesn't play in week 1 is great for for an anti pick in week 1, like soo.. But players like Rain, Soulkey, Parting? Just not worth it to have them on your team, unless they play every week - but look at Soulkey, even he didn't play last week. SKT and IM are just TOO STACKED and their players will not play enough games to make it worth their point values (which are usually 6, 7 or 8 pts). I got burned by having Rain as my captain last round, this time I got burned by doubting TY and trading him for Parting... why oh why did I doubt TY? Plays every week and yes, lost a little more when he was on my team, but the moment I trade him away, he goes on a winning streak. It's like Murphy's law here... same thing happened to Cure: gets 3 wins and looks impressive, but when I get him on my team, loses twice.

week 5 preview:
(T)MarineKing < Polar Night LE > (P)Stats
Zest vs Trap. Whatever, Zest is a beast. Can't trade him anyway.
Zest vs State (if it gets to game 4)

possible point from Sacsri if SKT wins against CJ. The only player that I can trade Sacsri for that plays this week is State. That's not gonna happen.

I think MKP can beat Stats. I think my Top 300 is safe. Next round I'm aiming for Top 100.
