For many, it was a year of mistakes and missed opportunities, but for one player, it was a year where he took his game to new heights, producing one of the most outstanding individual seasons on record.

It is often described as a truly stellar season. Words like astounding, unprecedented, incredible and simply unbelievable seemed to follow his every move.

One thing is certain; 2021 delivered us a new champion, a new hero, and now he's back and ready to dominate any who would stand in his way.

Forget the pretenders.
Only one true Champion can tell you who to trade and what strategy will take you to ultimate glory.
That man is @pain

Last year 43 players put their reputations on the line, 42 fell, and One prevailed. Only one would become the inaugural Lord of the Byes. But now the title becomes available once more - do you think you've got what it takes?

While his reign as Champion has ended, this season @pain returns, some say stronger and better than ever. Some say he's left no house standing as he readies himself to defend his title.
"Honestly, everyone who knows me knows that I am a Weapon when it comes to Fantasy, but nothing in my armoury could stop Pain," runner-up and Bye-rounds master @theWeapon joked at the championship season launch.

"Look, if I'm honest, I invented this game because I wanted to be Champion, but Pain was relentless. It was like watching a Tsunami of fantasy points, there was no stopping him. I still have nightmares." said also-ran @EasyTiger.

And it seems they are right to be concerned, with the clear favourite saving trades in the early rounds.
"I did it last year. I didn't know what the outcome would be, but I guess the way I got through the year and played good fantasy, you know, giving up drink-trading helped strategically and also mentally."
"You feel a lot better within yourself. Your team feels better, you recover quicker, all that type of stuff. It definitely helps, and I'll be locking it in again."

They say adversity brings out the best, and with the bye rounds just around the corner, this could be the most exhilarating, controversial and, in the end, glorious Bye Championships ever seen.

The only question is;
Will YOU be the Lord of the Byes?

I don’t hate that. 

Ipap a 15 point upgrade on Randall at the very least. Walsh just needs to belt out a good game for ya every now and again
