This is a quick recap of fantasy goings on in the last 7 days. I'm trying to avoid spamming the group so a weekly summary apart from emergency incidents seems like a good idea for those who don't camp the forums.


There have been a few updates, I’ve added basic profile pages that should make managing all your teams a bit easier as the homepage is becoming horrifically cluttered, and should showcase your collection of pixel trophies. This can be reached through a profile link in the header, as well as other player’s profiles being viewable through owner links on team pages.

As part of the header update which tidies things up a bit, there’s also a revolutionary new feature

A logout button

I know, ground breaking stuff.


Fenneks new arrivals CondoM and dAGNER have been added to ETF2L for your selection pleasure.


The economy has been updated

This week showstopper has been the fantasy investor’s favourite, his price increasing by $1500 as players interested in those Street Hoops points snaffle him up. Other big climbers include Rando, b4nny and Duwatna. Given this week’s result on Sunshine the former may have yet to reach his peak but at $33,000 is b4nny (and now Duwatna at $27,000) now becoming dangerously overpriced given froyotech’s shaky form?

Other players ascending the market (geddit?!) are Decimate and Bdonski, making less impressive but consistent advances. Ringo continues to be a popular pickup, and Purple Shirt the cafe monster roamer is now finding favour.

On the other side of the coin the froyo soldiers still aren’t catching the eye, their value depreciating faster than Lansky who some players who are still actively trading are inexplicably holding onto. He’s gone people! TheFragile and ninjanick are also yet to find many believers.

In Europe Tek and atomic continue to appreciate rapidly, both putting on the maximum $2000 rise in price. Will either of them hit their market peak before the end of the season? I’m not sure we have enough time. Dikker and Death are the other 4-25 players netting an increase, the underpriced squad presenting excellent returns, up to now anyway.

Some of that 4-25 money may find it’s way to Danger Dogs however after their upset win over Reason, currently only scrab and kr4tos are appreciating in value from that team.

Bizzarely DamnEasy has a price rise despite being cut.

Among those dropping in value it seems that despite a shock return quad believers have finally given up on getting any points out of the prodigal son. The rumour that Reason trio zoob, wltrs and skeej have been cut may have had something to do with their price drops, but Kaidus lost the most value of all of them so perhaps not. Josh and kingofsquirrels are the first players to drop under the $10,000 barrier, with kos setting the current low.

The market has more faith in Zebbosai’s announcement that he’s sticking to roamer that tftv’s casters, but not much as he only sheds a modest loss. Ryb also loses andother $500. Surely the demo on the best team in prem with the highest points per game must now be a bargain?

KnOxXx, Mike and Kiler4fun have been added to the ETF2L game. Although Kiler4fun is currently rostered with TLR as backup I think it’s generally accepted that he’ll be moving to Reason. If it doesn’t happen I’ll change his team to TLR.
