GM fantasy league

[Foliage Finder]

My risky British pick has not paid off. If I'm honest, I had overlooked the fact that Paul Casey was playing. Decent finish by Fitzpatrick considering his world ranking but kicking myself for forgetting about Casey!

I'm the only one in the top 10 with Casey.... come on lad!!!

You're right on point this week with him! I also entertained the thought of having Horsey in, much like golf itself, fantasy leagues are a game of hindsight.

Morning all,

This weeks code - Ph1lM1ckelson.

Fantasy tipster from GM recommending another two players who aren't in action this week, I can't find Grace or Garcia anywhere in tee times/fields either side of the pond. Very heavily weighted towards The Barclays on this occasion, only one pick from the Czech masters for me! Not too many risks this time, playing it relatively safe, lets see if I can make gains in the top 20 for the 4th week running!

A forumer is leading - who is it?

 

[Foliage Finder]

Not sure about that - highest ranked GM forum team I can see is popcorn, in at #3 overall?

My team is popcorn...

What is going on at the Barclays?? The leaderboard appears to be upside down for my fantasy players!

Trying to be clever replacing Stenson with Lingmerth...as it stands, I'd struggle to hold onto the top 20

Anyone else having a terrible Barclays? 3 more rounds to play, always look on the bright side and all that...

 

[sportsbob]

I think everyone is having a terrible Barclays - avoided Rose so keeping an eye out on Pepperell in Czech. Also did not go for Spieth as captain like most and was contemplating Bubba but chose against it in the end, Dustbin Johnson skippering this week instead.

Barclays picks are a shocker, but have got 7 playing this weekend with only Spieth missing the cut. Rose did well to avoid it for most of you

 

[Foliage Finder]

I dropped Matt Fitzpatrick for Justin Rose this week...I'm hoping Justin puts in two belting rounds!!

 

[chrisg]

Plenty of scope for movement up and down the leaderboard this week with only the KLM to choose from......

 

[Foliage Finder]

Well, the inevitable has happened. I forgot to do my fantasy team this week! Preparing to drop out of the top 20 that is unless Kaymer plays/wins, haven't checked anything out yet.

Or Tyrell Hatton wins...

Kaymer T23rd 5 shots off the lead so doing ok after the 1st round.
I closed in on the leader last week, only 167 points back now so hoping to close a little more this week, except we have identical teams barring he has Fitzpatrick and I have Rose,...... COME ON JUSTIN

Anyone else having a problem with the bonus transfer code this week? I've put in 81illHaas and it comes up with "Please enter a valid code".

 

[Foliage Finder]

Not sure mate haven't had the chance to try! Spent an hour last night trying to do my team but my laptop is in its last legs and kept crashing as a result I only managed to make 3 or 4 transfers.

Feeling a big hole in the wallet coming up soon, got finals coming up and can't have a dodgy laptop.

it worked for me.. copied and pasted from the GM blog.

If Soren Kjeldson does really well, and Rikard Karlberg does really badly I could end up in the lead this week!!!!! looking good so far too What's the overall prizes, not that long left now! (shouldnt have said that - cue dramatic fall from grace)

 

[chrisg]

There's 3 forumers in the top 10 with only 4 tournaments to go.... looking good for 2 of us in the top 3 if we keep it up

1 Boddington 37504
2 popcorn 37096
3 The Black Cats 36610
4 Montys Majors 36469
5 Lizzys Lads 35846
6 Smashing Course 35337
7 Paxton Putters 34953
8 KCI1518 34846
9 Sportsbob's scramblers 34615
10 Dicks Duffers 34546

 

[chrisg]

We didn't quite get 3 in the top 10, but 3 in the top 15 and 2 in the top 4, along with 4th best mini-league even with the highest number of members (75), which is a good result.

Strangely no prizes announced for overall (only weekly and monthlies) so I don't know if second wins owt... Fingers crossed.... I just couldn't catch the leader though.
