It's what you've all been waiting for! It's time for a new round!
Holy shit why was this so late?! Well, blame broken airplanes, inefficient airports, and the fact that lichter, contrary to popular belief, does not actually own a private jet. Big disappointment, but not as disappointing as a short sign up period! Yet it will have to do, so hurry up and tell your friends!
Here are some important facts to know going into the next round:
- Week 1 starters and maps can be found here
- Round 3 will be the standard Proleague format. See the scoring section for more info.
- You can find more info about scheduling here
- Matches will be played Mondays and Tuesdays.
- There will be 7 weeks of play.
- Trading a team now incurs a -1 trade tax penalty.
- Joining a group is now available from the group standings page (so you can link people to your group).
- You can find the final Round 3 rosters here
How to Play
- You choose 6 players and 1 Pro Team that score you points when they play well.
- You pick 3 players for your Anti-team as well. You lose points when they play well.
- Players and teams can be traded between weeks for those valued less than them.

Team Selection
Main Team + Show Spoiler [Click to Show] +- Pick 6 players for your Main Team, including a captain who will be a tiebreaker
- Pick 1 Proleague team (i.e. MVP, CJ, SKT, etc.)
- You cannot trade your captain (more on trading later)
- Your 6 players and 1 Proleague team cannot exceed 30 points in cost
- Your Main Team must contain at least one of each race at all times
Anti Team + Show Spoiler [Click to Show] +- Pick 3 players for your Anti Team
- These players score points like Main Team players, but their score counts against you
- Your Anti Team must have a value of at least 13 points (minimum)
Basic Team Selection Strategy + Show Spoiler [Click to Show] +- Pick players for your Main Team who you believe will exceed their point value from before (underrated or rising players)
- Pick players for your Anti Team who you believe will do worse than they did previously (overrated or slumping players)
- Designate as Captain a player who you believe will be a lock to be good throughout the season, because you can't trade him
Trading
Trading Rules + Show Spoiler [Click to Show] +- Each week you can trade players (swap a player for someone you don't have)
- Every player has a trade value, and you can only trade for players of lower value
- You will be limited to a maximum 2 Main Team and 1 Anti Team trades per week
- Trades do not carry over if unused
- Each time you trade, your team will be assessed a -1 point trade tax
- Trading teams will incur a -1 trade tax
Basic Trading Strategy + Show Spoiler [Click to Show] +- Check lineups each week! Players facing weak teams are generally more valuable.
- Don't make trades just for sake of making trades, as they cost you trade tax points and you may get stuck with a player you don't want
- The trade price formula takes into account number of matches remaining -- so players with more matches remaining will have higher prices
- You must trade for players with less value, but try to minimize the value loss. For example, if you trade someone worth 30 for someone worth 20, next week you can only trade the 20 for someone less. It's much better to trade the 30 for someone worth 29.
Groups
You will be able to create and join groups so you can compare your results with a smaller subset of the players, for example there might be a Staff Group, a First Time FPL Group, a USA Players Group, or a group created by you with just your friends.
Good luck, and tell your friends!

Life 8 points. Wat.
Going with soO and his juicy 7 points.

I am a little tempted to really RNG the team and see if I can do worse than when I actually tried

Innovation at 8 given his paltry 4 appearances last season is mildly surprising. Guess I wasn't the only one who envisioned him as a potential steal.

I think I'm stupid, I can't find Check :/.
Edit: Found him lol
|
Lichter thank you for this. FPL makes proleague so much more exciting tbh
|
prices dont feel reflective -.-
|
Just a note, Blaze is listed as his old ID, Panic for the player selection. I was looking all over for the guy, haha.
|
I've been waiting for this! :>
|
Why isn't it possible to select Blaze?

Any good tips on who is FotM atm ?

Because Prime are terrible and the Chinese players aren't even in Korea to play?

Have you ever considered making it completely budgetable? You have maximum 17 points and your anti deduces points from the total. Would not change anything for existing teams and open more tactical possibilities.

Hmm, I like this idea.

Maybe, but at that point I think everyone would just buy out Prime + one lower team on their anti. But then if you pick a worthless anti-team, you'll have a worthless main team. You can go the other way and fill both teams with aces. More strategic possibilities!

I've considered that before but figured it's better to keep it simple. I mean, a lot of people still mistakenly choose 13+ antis and <30 main teams for no reason. If I made it team - anti it would confuse too many people.

Simultaneously, people frown upon Blizzard for strictly demanding every base to be 8/2 not confuse people

I've never seen anyone complain about non 8/2 mineral lines.

If you go to Features -> Fantasy Starcraft -> Go to Fantasy Proleague, you can edit your team until the round begins.

Interesting - I am used to click just FPL on the top left and that doesn't lead there.
Anyway, I am not gonna be handicapped by fair play, so I changed my anti to include Creator.

I have him on my Anti and I think alot other have him, too. It's inconvenient to change his value and force everyone who already signed up to change their teams. Plus it would be really hard to do. So 99% Creator stays as is and everyone gets a freebie.

why is the sign up period ending 30 minutes after the first game is scheduled to start?

No just the timing is wrong, another fuck up with the FPL signups, will they ever learn.
|
