| Fantasy Formula 1 - Abu Dhabi GP Preview |
7:10 AM ET on 11/24/15 by Nathan Susanto |
The 2015 Formula 1 season concludes this weekend with
round 19, the Abu Dhabi GP. Lewis Hamilton wrapped up
the title in October but since then Nico Rosberg has
dominated, notching two poles and victories. Rosberg
will hope to finish the year on a high, though he last
won three consecutive races when he ended his 2002
Formula BMW ADAC campaign with four wins in a row.
At the 2014 F1 season finale, Nico Rosberg stormed to
pole but on race day Lewis Hamilton had a lightning
start. Hamilton looked calm in front, but in stark
contrast Rosberg's day unraveled when his ERS failed.
His predicament got so bad that Rosberg's engineer told
him to retire, but the Mercedes pilot wanted to drive to
the finish. Hamilton met the checkered flag first to
clinch the world title in style, with Williams' Felipe
Massa and Valtteri Bottas completing the podium. Rosberg
crossed the line in 14th.
Remember to make your game picks in the 2015 Fantasy Formula 1 thread
before the deadline of Saturday, November 28th at 8 AM
ET, when qualifying begins. Here we run down some Abu
Dhabi GP facts and season stats.

| Fantasy Formula 1 - Brazilian GP Preview |
4:11 PM ET on 11/9/15 by Nathan Susanto |
The 2015 Formula 1 season reaches its penultimate event,
with the Brazilian GP taking place this weekend. Lewis
Hamilton might have stormed to the title but Mercedes teammate
Nico Rosberg came out on top last time out by securing the
Mexican GP after a strong weekend. Rosberg will hope his
success continues at Interlagos, a venue which brought him
fond memories 12 months ago.
Nico Rosberg claimed pole at Interlagos in 2014 by a
narrow margin and it was nip and tuck between him and
Lewis Hamilton on race day. Rosberg held the slight
advantage but when the leader pitted for a second time
Hamilton saw an opportunity to up the pace. However, on
lap 28 Hamilton pushed too hard and spun off, handing the
advantage back to Rosberg. Hamilton reeled the lead Silver
Arrow in but couldn't deny Rosberg victory. Felipe Massa
was a distant third.

with a 2-1 victory. However, Bournemouth at Southampton
produced the greatest yield of the week, with the fixture
giving up a 1.92 points average. The West Ham at Watford
fixture had the lowest points average of the week (0.22)
and only two participants predicted Watford's shock
triumph.
Andrew Maher maintained his 21-point lead at the top of
the overall standings. With 11 weeks gone, Maher (257) leads
Skip Wilson and Dario Ambrozewiez (both 236), while Steve
Steffy and Mark Yothers (both 227) are tied in fourth

This week sees the first full schedule in a few weeks as the matchups get much better compared to the last two weeks. There are only three games between ranked teams this week, but they're key conference matchups and they are augmented by even matchups involving all of the major conferences, including eight games between unranked teams.
The week begins on Tuesday with Northern Illinois at #20 Toledo. This is a rare week where a MACtion game causes a Tuesday or Wednesday game to be a part of College Football Pickem. The week continues with three games on Thursday, including two ranked teams on the road in conference action. Another ranked team travels on Friday, with #23 Temple at SMU. Saturday sees what could be a full slate for another weekend with 25 games between noon ET and 10:30 PM ET.

| Premier League Week 11 Preview |
2:48 PM ET on 10/30/15 by Nathan Susanto |
Congrats to Charles Yelverton on top-scoring in
Premier League Pickem in week 10. Yelverton notched 34 points, the second best
score of the season, while Brad Duff earned the runners-up
spot with 27 points. Fred Lasso (25), Andy Nemecek and
Nathan Susanto (both 24) rounded out the top 5. Yelverton
and Duff made the most correct picks (7), while Yelverton
excelled with the most perfect games (4).
It was a decent week for the participants, with week 10's
average per pick made of 2.044 ranking fifth for the term.
Participants were unanimous in their backing of Tottenham
and Spurs recorded a 5-1 victory over Bournemouth.
However, the fixture that yielded the highest points
average was Everton at Arsenal. The Gunners won 2-1 and
that led to a 2.36 points average. Meanwhile, no
participant predicted a Watford victory and the Hornets
shocked Stoke to win 2-0. This resulted in the lowest
points average of the week, 0.03, the joint-second lowest
of the season.
Andrew Maher still occupies top spot of the overall standings with a quarter of the season in the books.
Maher (234) leads Dario Ambrozewiez (213) by 21 points,
with Skip Wilson (211) just two points further back. Steve
Steffy (206) and George Brady (204) complete the top 5.
Maher has gained the most correct picks (50) and perfect
games (16).
Arguably the most intriguing matchup this weekend kicks
off week 11's slate; Liverpool, led by Jürgen Klopp, the
self-proclaimed "Normal One", clashes with Chelsea, who
has the self-styled "Special One" José Mourinho at the
helm.
Remember to make your Premier League Pickem predictions before the deadline of
each game. Week 11's schedule starts on Saturday with a 8:45 AM ET
kickoff. There are then six 11 AM ET games. Sunday has two
fixtures; the first beginning at 8:30 AM ET, while the
second starts at 11 AM ET. The week concludes on Monday
with a 3 PM ET matchup.
Here we preview the ten games in the upcoming week of the

the most correct picks (7), while Maher, Steffy and Dario
Ambrozewiez predicted the most perfect games (2).
Week 9's average per pick made was 2.226 points, ranking
second behind week 5's benchmark. There was universal
agreement that Arsenal would beat Watford and Manchester
City would defeat Bournemouth and the Gunners and Citizens
didn't let down their backers. The Arsenal at Watford
fixture yielded a week high 2.19 points average, while
Aston Villa at Chelsea (2.06) was the only other game to
break the 2-points average barrier. Meanwhile, Stoke at
Swansea produced a week-low 0.33 points average, with Brad
Duff the only participant to correctly select a Stoke
victory.
Andrew Maher's week win strengthened his position at the
top of the overall
standings. Through nine weeks, Maher has accumulated
215 points, the only participant so far to break the
200-point barrier. Dario Ambrozewiez sits in second place
on 192 points, with Skip Wilson (190) in third and Steve
Steffy and George Brady (both 189) tied in fourth.

short trip to last-placed Sunderland.

| Fantasy Formula 1 - United States GP Preview |
4:36 PM ET on 10/20/15 by Nathan Susanto |
Circuit of the Americas in Austin will host round 16 of
the 2015 Formula 1 season this weekend. Lewis Hamilton has
the opportunity to secure the title in the United States
having extended his championship lead to 66 points with
four races to go. The two-time champion will clinch his
third world crown if he outscores Sebastian Vettel by nine
points and Nico Rosberg by two points.
Nico Rosberg stormed to pole position in 2014 and after an
early safety car period the race was a battle between him
and teammate Lewis Hamilton. Little separated the two
Mercedes until Hamilton pounced on lap 24 to take the
lead. He gradually pulled away from Rosberg and took the
checkered flag ahead of the sister Silver Arrow. Over 20
seconds down the road, Daniel Ricciardo held off Felipe
Massa for the final podium spot.
Remember to make your game picks in the 2015 Fantasy Formula 1 thread

States GP facts and season stats.
