GTXF F1 or Official Fantasy F1?

[Alan P]

Or both?

https://fantasy.formula1.com I have a team already and would be happy to create a league there if there's interest.

GTXF Private league created. League Code: 76439831c3

[dodint]

I would play in an organized league.

[FaultyMario]

Both, I like ours, but if both can be played under different rules...

[Blerpa]

I like our hassle free series: choose your drivers with a budget cap, then do nothing for the rest of the season.

[Crazed_Insanity]

I’ll do both too!

[IMOA]

I'm with Blerpa in the hassle free series, set and forget and make some jokes along the way

[dodint]

I just prefer a level playing field without handicapping or "BoP." I do like the feature of just making a single set of picks and seeing how it turns out.

[balki]

I'm down for both, but will probably get too lazy to update my teams at some point.

I'll work on getting our yearly FF1 up as early as this weekend so we have two weeks to pick teams.

[dodint]

I did Fantasy NASCAR on a whim once and yeah, it was pretty horrible having to keep coming back to login.

Will we have time to iron out some of the kinks that bothered us last time?

[balki]

If you can get a handful of guys to agree on changes I'm for it, otherwise we'll do 40M, first come first serve, no dupes (the oldest and most basic rules).
My only concern is the pricing, more so than other years, because everyone but Ferrari and Red Bull looks like a very solid mid-pack team (maybe not Williams, but even they don't look bad).

[FaultyMario]

Yeah, make it fcfs and blind. Then duplicates are dealt with one to one.

On the other hand, f1 has progressively turned into a 2 tier championship and pricing should reflect that.

[balki]

If it truly remains a two-tier championship I'll make it so that the entire bottom seven teams can be bought for 40, but I don't think we'll see that +1 second gap between Red Bull and Renault (or Racing Point) this year.
Hoping a website will do an in-depth testing analysis within the next 24 hours and I'll put a lot of weight into that.

[FaultyMario]

next 24? I can look around the betting sites but could only report to you saturday morning (I usually wake up early) before I go to school. If that helps.

[balki]

I would like to have the prices setup tomorrow afternoon, but it can certainly wait a few more days.
I've been looking for betting odds the last few years but rarely come up with anything, and when I do it's only for the race winner.

[FaultyMario]

Balki, check your pms.

It would seem that if you bought Hamilton you'd only have spare change left.

[Godson]

I joined. Going with old faithful, kicked one out who pissed me off last year, couldn't afford the other because of a new kid.

[FaultyMario]

Are you going to host, Alan?

It's in the FanVoice or whatever the official fan forum is called, right?

[JoeW]

I would like to try this year when the rules are finalized.

[balki]

thanks Mario, should have the numbers up within 24 hours. no major changes.
New thread to follow (GTXFFF1 2019?)

join'd

[Yobbo NZ]

Joined also.

[FaultyMario]

Although F1's interface is really weird. Like, why have more than one team if it's so difficult to assign each to a different league? Makes no sense to me.

AFAIK if you are a member of a League that allows multiple teams then your teams are automatically entered. Some Leagues only allow 1 team though.

[balki]

says i joined, don't see anyone else, though

[dodint]

I see 8 entrants.

[dodint]

I didn't read the rules very closely so it's not a complaint per se, but I scored something like -27 points with one of my drivers. Dumb. :down:

[balki]

Don't understand the scoring (didn't even bother to look for them).
I had crappy picks this week and am a single point behind first; everyone doubling up on Ricciardo helped.
Gasly got me 24 points by finishing in 11th ??? Does not compute.

[Crazed_Insanity]

My team finished 4th in both leagues. So seems about right to me. ;)

[Freude am Fahren]

Heh, last here, first at F1 site.
