If Verstappen is even half as good as last season then he is a steal at 30 million. It’s not only that he is the best driver with the best car, it’s also that he is so reliable, which means that you can very confidently put the x2 boost on him. The other drivers may surprise you and snatch p2 or even p1 occationally. But they may as well end up in p16 or DNF, and cost you points. So I go Max with the boost, and the RB20 for a third Max score. Perez is no worse than Leclerc, Norris or Hamilton stats wise.
True, but we also have more info to build our teams than we did three days ago and expect we will have even more info by the time practice concludes next weekend
I’m thinking there could be two “templates” at least early this season. I’m guessing that most of us have those two builds at the top. Can’t wait until next week. Guess it’s time to binge DTS
Yeah 100% agree - Ferrari + LEC vs Red Bull + STR/RIC at the moment. Practice will undoubtedly shape a lot of decisions. Enjoy DTS, I've already finished it!
It hope Max, Yuki, Ric, Red Bull, RB+2 midfield drivers (probably Albon and Gasly) doesn't just end up being the best team. It is quite a boring lineup and very obvious to make.
@@petterv123 Alpine is not looking impressive. Quite slow in testing and many are rating them last coming out the gates, even behind Haas. I'm not sure they'll be that bad, but I don't have faith enough to pick both Alpine drivers.
@@petterv123 Yeah, always wait until the very end for the fullest picture, lol. I will say one thing I feel like a lot of people didn't fully grasp last yeah is that if you have a driver you don't expect to score any points anyway (and that is half the grid more or less), it is actually the best value to pick someone bad at qualifying, but in a reliable car. So he won't DNF and will gain points by finishing ahead of where he started, instead of going in the red from going backwards. That's why I think KMag is actually a pretty slept on, especially since the Haas just did the most laps of any team and didn't have any reliability issues. He was a good scorer last year as well, just way over priced from the start and hit by some unlucky DNF's. People tend to just pick who they think is the best driver, but with how scoring works that is not always the smartest for the cheap seats.
The Ferrari constructor is very tempting. Your thoughts are exactly where I’ve been at this whole week. If checo can perform well, it’s an easy choice to slot Red Bull and RB. If he cannot, Ferrari should be a strong choice.
I am sort of gambling with this but I went with: Sainz 2x / Max / Tsuoda / Albon / Ocon with Ferrari and RB. I was really impressed with Carlos pre season and hope he proves everyone wrong after that Hamilton announcement.
Something to think about is who the better driver is. Especially with how reactionary Ocon was last season, and Williams hopefully starting with a decent car from the get-go, I think Albon has a good shot of being by a better pick than Ocon.
at this moment im running RB / VCARB, VER-STR-TSU-GAS-ALB. But yea probably gonna change after praktische. Ant thoughts are Welcome I would love to get some MCL ik there but its hard
I’m thinking about McLaren, but Ferrari just seem too good to overlook at the moment. I’ll cobble together a McLaren team in my next team selection video
I have a doubt between 2 templates: 1) ver, ric, tsu, gas, alb, red bull and racing bulls 2) ver, lec, su, gas, alb, ferrari and racing bulls Which template is better after tests?
@@xenon2561But only one team that actually counts in the real standings. Personally I have gone with the 1st pick here. But it could usually change after testing. The danger of that team is now all in it is on Toro Roso. With a DNF from either Yuki or Ric you are at a huge disadvantage.
@@Dragonpuncher123 u are right about possible dnfs by Tsunoda or Ricciardo that cost me a - 40 between driver and constructor, but I don't see another "little team" better than racing bulls. My question is about Ricciardo and red bull versus leclerc and Ferrari. Points could be different in these 2 cases and if I catch the right choice I have more chance to compete for the highest positions in the world
@@marcocire8871Yeah I agree it is probably the best team on paper. But when you have both drivers and the constructor you are living a little dangerously, especially with a team that is going to be fighting in the midfield. I think it depends on testing. If Perez is not impressive enough I would probably go with Ferrari.
@@Dragonpuncher123 nice point of view and thanks for ur opinion What was ur rank the last year? (global and national leagues) I was near to the top 4.5k in the world and the top 100 in my nation (my big fails were Monaco, Singapore and Monza plus I was penalized by Leclerc in Austin)
You can’t communicate with your league members in the league. The global league is for participants to score the major prizes on offer for the top three teams at seasons end. The global league is total points but the head to head leagues are based on points scored week to week

VRB and Red Bull with Max, Yuki and Ricardo looking tempting. But you end up having to take Sargent 🤢
What about a RED VCARB VER RIC TSU GAS ALB? Thoughts on that?
@@f1fantasyhub I wanted a cheeky Aston in the mix so took Stroll. But this is tempting….
First one here
🙌🙌🙌
Great vid , it is ofc a bit too soon to get a team ready. As of now we just have a very vague idea of who can actually perform well.
True, but we also have more info to build our teams than we did three days ago and expect we will have even more info by the time practice concludes next weekend

Why Albon over Ocon? I’m also looking for this setup but thinking Ocon has the better car and might beat Albon. Curious on your thoughts for Albon?

second, and just made my team. i might be a little greedy by 2x on norris but i like gasly leclerc and albon a lot
👏🏼👏🏼 nice one!! Love that bold Norris pick - hopefully it pays off for you!
my team is mercedes + ferrari , max ocon gasly tsunoda albon just used 100m perfectly nothing money left
I am sort of gambling with this but I went with: Sainz 2x / Max / Tsuoda / Albon / Ocon with Ferrari and RB. I was really impressed with Carlos pre season and hope he proves everyone wrong after that Hamilton announcement.
How about Ver Lec Alo Alb Tsu AM Williams, do you think it is worth it to take more expensive drivers but then you must have cheaper constructors?
Why seem most enjoy Albon over ocon? (Those looking at RB, VRB, max, yuki, Daniel, Pierre and Albon. Is not Ocon the better pick given his car?)
Something to think about is who the better driver is. Especially with how reactionary Ocon was last season, and Williams hopefully starting with a decent car from the get-go, I think Albon has a good shot of being by a better pick than Ocon.
Can’t really decide my last 2-3 drivers between AM and alpine
at this moment im running RB / VCARB, VER-STR-TSU-GAS-ALB.
But yea probably gonna change after praktische. Ant thoughts are Welcome
I would love to get some MCL ik there but its hard

Great video! Loved your content last season and looking forward to more this year ☺️

bro you can have 3 teams

Whats the purpose of leagues. Can i communicate with other league members and is there points in total or what. P.s i joined ur league

Yuki and Pierre or Ricciardo and Valtteri with 0.7 in the bank?
Tough decision. I want to see a bit more from Sauber in practice before I’m convinced they’re the real deal
Thanks
I'm new to fantacy. Q: If I have $2.M left after my picks were made, does it carry over? Do I have a $102M budget next week?
That’s correct, any leftover budget carries over into the next week
