Other than that I am convinced now that the FPL system in its current form only really works well with the standard Proleague format. When only three games won in a row on a single night (because of All-Kill format) can propel an otherwise mediocre player up so much in trade value that you barely have any good options left to replace him with on anti, you realize this could not have been the original intention when the formulas were designed. Now I can't wait for this round to be over. But GL HF to those who did not get screwed. | ||

Right now my rank is #519. Not bad when I have JangBi on my anti-team and can only trade him for Fantasy or Shy  | ||

But at least those players were supposed to dominate and their initial values assigned to them reflected this. I think a big problem is that most of the Kespa players have extremely variable skill levels that it's really hard to assess true skill. After all, who could have expected 3 pointers like Hydra and free to all kill this round? This is of course in addition to the problem of volatility in an all-kill format. | ||

Your team has Hydra, JangBi, and Speed. So does almost everyone above you. If those three keep doing well for you, you won't be able to move up the standings. The only way to move up is to hope your low-valued players make an incredible run, or if you trade your high-valued players and diversify, hoping that you win in trade value over people who stand pat. Far more people stand pat than make bold trades -- only 27 people traded for Hydra this week, and those who did got up to a whopping +16 in trade value. So yeah, I suggest you trade. Standing pat is almost certain to not work in your case. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/3DosM.png) Heck yes. FINALLY Jaehoon does something this round. Edit: just realized that if I hadn't boarded the HuK hype train and traded thorzain for him I would be 100 places higher. Dang it! | ||

I'm not too worried about the large trade value jumps so much as the low trading frequency. If we got to trade twice as often this would be manageable. We have what, 3 trade windows for 28 series of BO7. The last time we did fantasy GSTL, we had 30series of BO7 spanning 10 weeks. thats 9 trade windows. That's triple the trade opportunities for essentially the same number of games. Look at my trades in GSTL (http://www.teamliquid.net/fantasy/gstl/Team.php?team=mrbamboo&r=1) I made 17 trades netting a gain of 41 points after trade tax. That's less than 3 points gain per trade. But making consistently good decision over a long period of time helps mitigate short term risks/variance. For proleague I doubt I'd make more than 4 trades total, nearly all of which is dictated by which EGTL player will be out of town or sick. For one there is 1/3 the trade windows, for two, having a lot more matches between trade period meaning you are not angling for a specific scenario, and that risk is diluted by the other 10 matches going on this week that could make just as many FPL points and negate your gain for the trade. More frequent trades also mean that the value of each player only change a little bit each time, and you get to use that new information to make more decisions and you are not punished as severely for any single decision. I mean there's not much TL can do about it, the matches are back to back, and not consistently updated on time on the fantasy system. People will complain if there is only a 4 hour window to trade between between the 1st and 2nd set of matches in the week. GSTL with FXO + grubby and Axiom Acer is starting soon. I hope the format lends itself well to fantasy and we can get both FPL and FGSTL going at the time . | ||
