Joining the Fantasy

In the last couple of months, I've been so busy that sometimes I forget to follow up on some activities. Well, this time it's not something so serious. But how did I forget to create a team for the Fantasy premier league? Now, I've missed out on game week one. I happened on a post by @PVMihalache regarding a league, "The League of Crypto" created by the #Club1BCH community, ~~whatever this community is about~~. The post linked another post by @Crackers and @bmjc98 regarding the said league competition created for the read.cash community. I think they are the core organisers of the #Club1BCH League of Crypto. Reading their posts juggled my memory. *"Oh sh!t, the Fantasy league has started!".* It's not too late With no time wasted, I visited the fantasy premier league platform to create my team for the campaign. I already had an account that I created during the previous campaign. My performance last time out was poor. It was my first try and had a lot to learn, and I did learn. I want to believe that I've got the needed experience to perform better this time. My Fantastic Team Choosing a team took longer than I expected. No thanks to the limited fund and the increase in the price of some players after Game week one.

But one good thing that came out of joining the league a week late is that I had the opportunity to study the matches from Game week 1 which gave me a glimpse of the current performance of the players in each team. With this info, I was guided on my team to start the Fantasy Premier League in Gameweek 2. **The clean slate** Well, this is how the squad selection started, on a clean slate.

I had the option to select two goalkeepers, five defenders, five midfielders and three forwards. The first player I selected was Mohamed Salah of Liverpool, then Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United and Romelu Lukaku of Chelsea. I had to pause after a glance at my balance. These guys were worth around £12 each. That's about a total number of £36 and I just have £64 left to get 12 players. I took my time to select the rest this time. Had a miss of cheap players especially at defence and players within 5 to 7.5 price tag. **Here is the Knowhere FC team** After several tweaking of my team, I came up with a team.

Looking at my selection now, I would probably make some adjustments before the game week two deadline. This is my team at the moment. Joining the League of Crypto After creating my fantastic team, I returned to PVMihalache's post to join the league via the link. After joining I was shocked to see that some managers have already got over 100 points from game week one.

Wow! I will be playing catch up. I found myself on another list "New Entries". The consolation was that I'm not the only one on the list. So I'm not alone in the catch-up game. How you start a race is important but how you'll finish is more vital. I look forward to my first game week and the performance of my team in the rest of the campaign. See you guy at the top.
