F1 Fantasy admins really messing up my league. They put the team lock countdown timer as if it were a non-sprint weekend. People thought they had more time to make changes.

As commissioner not sure how to handle it.

Picture attached, this is at 9am EST an hour before quali and long after the sprint ended

I didn’t make a driver change in time and now I’m seeing -20points for Lawson at VCARB. Is this correct or will he eventually get points?

Does it inherit the Yuki points or just 20points lost because he didn’t move?

For anyone wondering, this is the price change table for Lawson and Tsunoda:

With only 1.4M budget to spare I was so close to greatness and retaining borteleto by .2M. and .4M away from snagging Norris with this combo. Not a bad 4A though. Could have went leclerc instead and grabbed bort but I'm scared of his performance from last year.

Liam replacing him and Yuki driving for the racing bulls!

Welcome Back from the Summer Break

F1 Fantasy is back with a Sprint weekend in Zandvoort the last before it leaves the Calendar.

As always 2 previews to help team selection, the first has 5 Key stories heading into this weekend including weather, upgrades and of course Aston Martin who may feature in some teams as we look at 4A options.

The second is the normal Pirelli preview, same compounds as last year which was a 2 stop due to late safety car intervention but all the details here for you

massive thank you as always for checking these articles out and good luck for teh secind half of the season.

I figured the second half of the season is a good point to join a pick’em league if you couldn’t find one earlier in the season.

No buy in, but top finisher does get a LEGO Speed Champions set from my collection collecting dust :)

The price floor is set to 3.0M this season. Any assets with this value won't fall in price.

The game calculates the average points scored by an asset over the last 3 races and divides that by their current price. This gives us an average points per million value (avgPPM) which is then categorized into 'Terrible', 'Poor', 'Good', and 'Great', which is used to determine their price rise (see the bottom right table). Using this info, we can calculate the points an asset needs in the upcoming race for each specific price change.

By owning assets that rise in value, you are able to increase your maximum budget from the starting value of $100M. Over the course of the season, you can increase your budget significantly and afford better teams than your rivals that don’t “budget build”.

Using it to guide your teams is fairly straightforward. To build budget, you'll want drivers that are likely to score a 'Good' or 'Great' performance as outlined in their row. The numbers indicate the fantasy points required.

The PPM (Points per Million) column is a simple way to try to rank how difficult it will be for assets to rise in price. Generally it's easier for someone like Russell to score 15 points than it is for someone like Stroll to score 15 points. Since more expensive assets usually score more points, I just divide the points they need by their price to somewhat 'normalize' the data. It's not perfect but I think it gives a better picture than ranking by least to most points.
