It'd add a little more strategy to this. As it stand now, the captain is usually a low-pointer who'll probably never play/satisfies race requirement, or the opposite in someone who almost always wins. Very few meet the latter criteria. The captain needs a middle ground to give a little more high risk high reward. | ||

The captain needs a middle ground to give a little more high risk high reward. The captain is more of a tiebreaker than anything else. If there's too much game playing strategy involved, then it detracts from the basic purpose of FPL, which is a competition of who has the best judgement regarding good and bad players. | ||

Is anyone aiming for the bottom? Or expecting that they'll hit rock bottom?  | ||

Last place would be too easy to reach by trading players in and out as many times as possible. Although someone could still aim for a gimmick like "highest score possible with a 6-point main and a 27-point anti". I don't think anyone's doing any of those. | ||

Losira Bbyong Hush YongHwa Creator ByuL ST-YFW seemed like a terrible team going into the first round. It would have tied for first place with the right anti-team :D | ||

On further consideration and actually viewing the lineups I swapped Curious and Solar for Myungsik and Marineking, although picking between MarineKing and Solar was hard... | ||

But I feel like that would make captain scoring unnecessarily convoluted, and would make most of the top teams have the same captains. Still thinking of a better way to make captain choices more decisive without causing teams to become too similar. What about giving them +1 if they got chosen as an ace? This way you can also take someone as a captain who isn't super good but has a good chance to be an ace like solar, Creator, marineking. And maybe -1 if they are not in the line up? | ||

Also, what are all the different tiebreakers if both teams have the same captain? That's an interesting scenario, but I imagine it would relatively rare. In which case, is that when we call Hellspawn to bring forth The Coin? | ||

Hmm, just a bit of advice, I wouldn't expect to see Sorry until later in the round so I might pick another three pointer for now, or if you just want SKT points go with billowy or dynamite since they're cheaper. (take this with a grain of salt, I usually make bad decisions like this :D) | ||

(take this with a grain of salt, I usually make bad decisions like this :D) The thing is though, I'm not even sure who would be worth it at 3 points. I have no faith in HerO and KeeN is a total wild card and matched up against Dream in set 4. And if I took Billowy or Dynamite for 2 points I have no idea what I would use the extra point for. I'll take all the advice I can get, though, as notoriously bad as it may be | ||
