Transfers are currently use them or lose them. There's an economy upgrade in the works so I may alter that to encourage more trading, but there are competitive downsides to it as well.

-dagger+lunacide -xalox+milo -lansky+serv0 !

Thanks, I need to improve my game when it comes to ESEA watching. Lunacide and milo should now be buyable, Lansky I'll wait and see.

The ESEA Week 4 game is over and the results are in:
First place is won by 5tv and his team $tvvvv, without picking a single Froyotech player.
2nd went to SentientRadio's team Avocado
3rd place went to Debit To Team's team, _ (nice name, also no Froyo)

The winning lineups just go to show the reward of studying the schedule and not always going with the biggest names.

There was a bug with creating a team if you'd created one before. That should now be fixed. TY Permzilla

Bump for NA time zones, week 5 game is live

Why does it say 6Hours15Minutes14Seconds until next transfer lock for ETF2L in the homepage and when I try to edit my team it says 1Day1Hour19Minutes0Secondsuntil next transfer is available

Because Transfer Lock, and a transfer being available to you are two different things. The way it works currently is that you get a new transfer to use every week (?).

The transfer lock is an arbitrary period set by me that prevents transfers around match times for reasons explained above. It's not big deal if I set it wrong or forget it, but it's there to prevent frustration with exact match times and transfers.

When your next transfer will be available is to do with when your last transfers were made. You basically have 2 transfers and they take 7 days to recharge after using. I don't think I phrased this particularly well when explaining it previously, or maybe my implementation is unintuitive. Either way I think that's the best way to think of it at the moment.

The two things don't affect eachother except that transfer locks are a temporary block on all transfers in that league.

After the confirmation on Fully Charged that serv0 will be playing for Froyotech he should now be buyable for ESEA games

A lot of updates have been made in the last 48 hours so don't forget to check in with your team to see how you have progressed

oooohhhhh yeaaaah catch me if you can boys

The Economy Update

The latest update means player prices will now fluctuate over time meaning that there is the opportunity to increase your budget by smart trading and to pick up better deals on players that aren't widely purchased. The exact details of the mechanism remain secret, but generally speaking the players who are most popularly selected will rise in price and those that are least popular will fall on a weekly schedule. The first updates have been made! There is now a page dedicated to player price changes linked to from just above the top 20 player list for each Season on the homepage.

If you own a player rising in value on your team the conundrum is whether to sell and reinvest in spreading the talent more widely, and if the value of your squad is dropping do you hang in there or sell while you still can? Or will those players now become such good value they'll rise in price again later? What level do you wait for players to drop to before you jump in?

This is experimental so adjustments to how it works may have to be made in the future. Please report any bugs.

I've added a small strategy guide for the confused. It probably doesn't tell experienced fantasy game players much, but it should be useful for anyone who is a complete neophyte.

ESEA Week 6 competition is now open (assuming TF2 ever works with the client again), and ETF2L's first single week competition is open too, week 4. Both start from today's games, and in typical ETF2L fashion there's a week 3 game tonight to start with.

In ETF2L Qnx is now available as pocket for Danger Dogs as nation! has joined Animate. This switch won't happen in your team automatically, if you want to adjust your roster then you have to make your changes manually.

I won something :o)
Champagne.

Wiethoofd of tf2pickup.net/whitelist.tf has kindly donated some killstreak kits and keys, so from now on for the forseeable future the weekly games will have a prize! This will usually be a professional kit for first, a specialized kit for 2nd and one or more vanilla kits for 3rd, although depending on rarity, and Wiethoofd's largesse, this may change (say a more valuable specialized kit for first prize one week).

We've also got some keys for the longer seasonal prizes but I'm not sure how I'll distribute those yet, particularly seeing as it looks like Sideshow will be the main beneficiary.

I am so torn between loading my team full of 5$ club players this week and leaving them out completely

will they actually play this week...it's keeping me awake at night

Before night's dawn disappears
Before I put my head to sleep
This prayer I'm bringing
To the God, Father and Five Dollar
"Fuck over Sideshow's team lord
For myself I don't wish anything
Just turn his fantasy to shit"

Who I am? A little Frenchman
Little, envious and mean
What's my sign? Bloodshot eyes
Listen to my prayer
Dear God, Maria and Son
"Destroy this son of a bitch
My brother, my friend
This enemy, this snake"

"Hope to see his garage robbed
Hope to see his girlfriend cheating
Hope to see his house burned
Hope to see his head hit with a brick
Hope to see his daughter with a black
And generally not to do so well
Like get AIDS and cancer".

That's prayer of a Frenchman.

HAHAHA wtf!

If your EU team is in need of points and you have a transfer or two burning a hole in your pocket Reason are playing Lego in under an hour. Consider the possibilities!

It happened, Hafficool currently best fantasy player EU http://beta.fantasytf2.com/home/playerlist/6

Updated with $5 vs Street Hoops

Jon, what's FantasyTF2 main font? I really wanna make a logo for FantasyTF2.

http://beta.fantasytf2.com/Content/fonts/NHaasGroteskDSPro-35XLt.ttf

Can't wait to see it! I have a deep love for this typeface

http://www.fontbureau.com/nhg/

Type nerd info: the original Helvetica before it was distorted by rushed expansion and compromises to printing technology.

Regarding tnight’s 4-25 vs TT game, as some of you may have noticed the viaduct log is nowhere to be found. If this is recovered from the depths of a server somewhere I can still add it but unless that happens it’s lost to an act of God, along with the relevant fantasy points.

A busy evening of ESEA games have now been added, $5 vs The Grime, froyo vs cafe monster and Ascent vs cafe monster.

But despite all this Cyzer is still No. 1
