@carfyo can you create your own Fantasy League? i don't see this possibility, i'm talking about a fantasy league

SpecialOne

Some notes about how fantasy league is working:
(keep in mind that this is a first version and we had to rebuild it from scratch, future upgrades are on the list)

It's not possible to create your own fantasy league
Fantasy league will start when ALL 10 teams are submitted
Users have 2 hours to build their squad, otherwise they are removed from the league
Squads need a minimum of 20 players in order to be submitted
It's not possible to have same player in two squads, so if you take too long to build your squad, all the players you want may be taken
Value of your squad can't go over 100M

Wenger Wise

@specialone thanks, looking forward to updates

@specialone Hey man, is there a specific reason you guys decided to limit the budget to 100M? Why not 300-400m?

Also the transfers, are they allowed in this league?

Thanks in advance.

@joe-mcnorthman

Also the transfers, are they allowed in this league?

all the features are enabled on the fantasy league (transfer list, training camp, secret training, scout, etc...)

Transfers are allowed aswel as all other features (as @Lirind stated)

About the budget, what do you think it will happen if all managers had 300M to build a team? Do you think that there are enough Top players to build 10 teams? And where will be the fun on play a whole season with a static team, you won't any have players to buy to improve the squad!

Hello
I have applied in the fantasy league since this morning, but I have not been in the league yet.

Wenger Wise

@kasrasyedi
All 10 players have to built their squads completely. Obvious, some players in your league didn't do that. Every 2 hours their kicked of the league and new managers coming. In version 2.0 it usually took from 2 to 8 hours (according to personal observations)
an example of a manager facing financial problems, reason for league delay:

@joe-mcnorthman
The previous OSM version had 3 different budgets. I agree with Mr. @SpecialOne that leagues with 300-400M budgets simply cannot start, since the last 2-3 players will be left full of slag and they will leave the league. But not really about transfers. Perhaps an ordinary player will be interested in first building a squad, and then gradually improving it. But for high-level players, it is not a problem at all to update the 100M lineup in 4 days by 90-100%. In fact, all the fun remains in the unusual name of the team, since otherwise I do not see the difference from the casual league of Australia / Albania / Kuwait. In these leagues, and without a fantasy mode, in a week you can collect your own dream team worth 100M+ (just shell out more Boss Coins).
I do not insist on changing the default settings. But the ability, for example, to turn off transfers and play a themed league with friends is something I've been thinking about for the past few weeks. For example, there are a lot of ideas to come to an agreement and collect the English Premier League rosters for seasons 13/14, play only 34+ year old players, 10 best academies and their graduates, own world championship among national teams under 18 and so on.
Nevertheless, what has been added to the game is already very cool. And I will trust that the opportunity to create a custom fantasy league will not be long in coming. Thanks again GB!

@specialone great job sir. I totally agree 100m budget is enough. Im looking forward to be able to create a league and play with my friends. And is there any possibility in near future Fantasy League to be used in official battles? Thank you.

Lmfao... that's the whole purpose of it, a damn fantasy, kek.

Good morning to all of you.
Yesterday i finnish my first Fantasy League...
For those who think that 100M initial budget is a poor budget, i want to show you my final squad...

I can tell you that 100M it is not a poor budget at all.
From all 20 initial players, i only kept 7 of them. This is not the propose of a Fantasy League. So,i ask Gamebasics to remove transfers from Fantasy League and enable us to create our own league to play with friends anda it will be great!
Thanks

Wenger Wise

@márcio-girilim-santos for me nice to see teams with a national bonus

Márcio Girilim Santos

@carfyo
Right... It was on the final game of the league. No matter now...
Look what he did for the red card...

Wenger Wise

is it private fantasy league live???

Márcio Girilim Santos

@wenger-wise i have the same problem...

Wenger Wise

@márcio-girilim-santos i just saw this and decided that they finally done it

Márcio Girilim Santos

This is supposed to be active. But in reality it is not quite like that.
Besides, at this moment he doesn't even let in. Whether it is an open league or a private league.

SpecialOne

Private league, means that you can create a fantasy league and select which managers will join it.
Those managers will have to be invited before league start and not pick fantasy league from active leagues.

After 24h if league is not full, engine will create missing teams and those teams will be managed by CPU.

It's never possible to join a fantasy league after league been created!

Márcio Girilim Santos

@specialone I can't join any league (private or not). The message abouve apears...
