Hi guys, welcome back to another big year of FPL. Maybe Rusty will beat me this season, but I doubt it :P
The code is:
21621-114782
However a lot of you will have been automatically entered from last season, so bring it on!
Good luck for season 2016/17!
Couple of mates have convinced me to play, will enter my team and win ;)

Literally 0% chance you play out the whole season. Don't think you realise how long it is :P
Is this the one run by Virtual Sports?

Haha I was probably going to give this season a miss as like you said it's a long season and takes up a fair bit of time to stick it out and was trying to spend less time on fantasy sports.
You may have just given me a reason to play again though to try and beat you ;)

Nah the one on the premier league website :)
I haven't played for two seasons now and was considering playing for this season, such a tough decision I know I won't stick it out though ahhhhhhh.... Will make up my mind over the week lol

I've played the last few seasons and have got progressively further into the season each time. The season goes for like 9 months, yeah?

I'll be the first person to post their team.

So how far off track am I? From what I take from the scoring, wingers generally score better than those in the middle? I feel like I'm spending too much on the forwards at the cost of he mids, with the kids really falling away after Hazard/Payet.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
I'm outta the loop with EPL knowledge but from looking at the prices there's not much worth spending on in the mids. I've gone with 3 huge strikers; Ibra, Sturridge and Aguero (May change Aguero though) and it kinda toils away from there. I'll look into the scouts articles during the week and see what I can find.
I think looking into projected finishes and early draws are important, there's no point in trying to find any more than 3 players that you can say you plan to hold for the entire season, the rest should be based on the draws in the first 5-10 MatchDays.

Not too far off mate, you have just spent too much down back which hurts the team as a whole. And you've broken the number one rule of "always start aguero" :P
Spending a lot on forwards is fine because they score. They can score multiple goals and so aren't really capped for how many points they can get. Defenders just get 4 points for clean sheet and rarely score so that is why heavy investment isn't encouraged as CS are generally more of a lottery
(http://i67.tinypic.com/v8lpic.jpg)
Reasons behind my team:
- United, Totteham have a good draw early, so Darmain, Walker, De Gea hopegully give me points. Eriksen, Kane and Ibra are guns anyway
- Costa is decent, may yet look at changing him to Aguero and Eriksen to someone priced $5.5 or less
- Hector is from Arsenal and I need to start on Gunner
- Amat, Lowton two cheap defenders not really planning on starting them ever
- Redmond apparently going to play Striker to start the season? I like that
- Townsend, Feghouli idk I just read stuff on the PL website that said they might be good
- Danny Drinkwater has an awesome name
- Jakupovic seems to be in lots of teams
Spite you're the legend here, thoughts? Anyone we just have to pick/not pick?

Yeah quite a few things need to change. You've gone expensive down back and also up front, this makes your team not very flexible which is super important.
Darmian isn't starting for united so he needs to go. Bellerin I do not like just because Arsenal do not have a great early draw and also they do not have any fit CBs and I'm not sure they will keep CS early. He certainly isn't cheap, hes the most expensive defender in the game.
Don't have 2 4.0 defenders that don't play or you get a zero if one of your defenders doesn't start. Make one a 4.5 (keep amat).
(Do bellerin to a 5.5 and darmian to a 4.5, as well as lowton to a 4.5 and then rotate the 4.5s based on fixtures).
Pick ferghouli or drinkwater, but not both. The midfield is super weak and it's not worth it, drop a striker. A 6.5 striker will score more goals and points than what a 6.5 mid will score. So downgrade a striker to a 6.5 and upgrade a 5.5 mid to a 8.5+ mid and then drop down the other 5.5 to a 4.5 bench mid, someone like capoue or holsberg or fletcher.
Your team will look ten times better and more capable of jumping on guns players who start hot
So the league is the same one from last season? Good as!
Haven't really done my research yet (though I probably should asap lel).
Team is currently:
Schmeichel
Fuchs, Alderweireld, Monreal
Eriksen, Redmond, Fabregas, Payet
Negredo, Zlatan, Vardy
Jakupovic, Amat, Capoue, Ogbonna
Cheers Spite :) I think Amat and Lowton will play from what I have looked up, but McAuley seems to have a decent run so rolled with him. Gone with Negredo at ST3 as well behind Zlatan and Kane to open up funds to turn Feghouli to any mid I want (Which is the tough bit :P)
(http://i68.tinypic.com/153r9j7.jpg)
this is my squad. took a few risks.
Foster @ GK1. injured most of last season. besides last year he's avg'd 117.6 the 5 years before that.
gone for a "safe" DEF (4x100)
a "safe" MID (4x150) with the hopes that Firmino can push 200 ;) (YNWA :P )
Aguero is a must for captain, and Ibra will get his 20 goal avg ever since he joined Juve.
my bench is so common LOL, i see most teams have it
My bench is unique then..lol... :o
Stekelenberg; Mendy; B.Smith and Klavan.
Look out for team IbraTIMovic!!
Valdes (Pickford)
Stones, Bellerin, Valencia (Taylor, Smith)
Payet, Hazard, Alli, Townsend (Hojbjerg)
Ibrahimovic, Gray, Negredo
I don't follow EPL or Soccer in general, so:
a) help me pick a club to follow
and
b) let me know which players are the cheap locks!
I'd advise following Chelsea or Leicester, no bias. :P

Quote from: fanTCfool on August 12, 2016, 08:38:04 PMb) let me know which players are the cheap locks!
basic structure is...
GK - 1 x (4.5 - 5.5) & 1 x (4.0 playing cheapie who'll gain money)
DEF - 2-3 x (5.0 - 6.0) 2-3 (4.0 - 4.5 playing cheapie who'll gain money)
MID - 3-4 x (7.5 - 11.0) & 1-2 x (4.5 - 5.5 playing cheapie who'll gain money)
FWD - 2 x (9.0 - 13.0) & 1 x (4.5 - 6.5 playing cheapie who'll gain money)
cheapies - Amat, Fletcher, Gray, Jakupovic, feghouli, friend, Mee, lowton, Kante
try and find FWDs who're listed as MIDs.
hope that helps.
I agree with keeper RE: choosing a club to follow
Havent done this for ages, all of a sudden there is some new stuff? All Out Attack, Bench Boost,Triple Captain????
Here's the team:
De Gea (Jakupovic)
Walker, Baines, N.Taylor (McAuley, Amat)
Payet, Firmino, Shaqiri, Redmond (Fletcher)
Aguero, Ibrahimovic, Negredo
Follow Chelsea mate 8)
Also lock in Gray, scored about 10 goals in 5 pre season games.

Love how you auto sign up from last year
How is everyone actually watching the epl, you get 1 game on sbs but then as far as I can tell you have to have Optus. Is there another way somehow?
35 with De Gea, Payet and Ibra (c) to go. Nergedo, McAuley and Redmond all in my team all currently in the DreamTeam :)
Sigurdsson not starting is my most worrying part so far...
damn i got mcauley on the bench :(
So apparently my lineup changes didn't save. :(
As a result, my starting team is on 18, my bench is on 27. :P

In my first season I traded in Silva and put him on the field, didn't click save changes and watched him score 10+ as my third sub.
Off to a decent start this season but Ibra could change all that considering I went Kane over him
scored 52.
not bad.
would've been more if i stuck with my gut picks - Snoddy (100+ for a few years)
march on to next week. BTW great win by the reds. gave me a heart attack with the poor defending. #MORENOOUT
Scored 69 I think that's alright.
Does our free transfer carry over to the next week if we dont use it or is it just one per week?
Anyone care to explain please?

f you don't use free transfer it carries over to next week but maximum free transfers is 2. You can make as many tranfers as you like but the non-free ones will cost you 4 points.
The All Out Attack, Bench Boost,Triple Captain were new last year and are bonus "chips" but you only get to use 1 per season.
All out attack: play 3 forwards, 5 midfielders and only 2 defenders
Triple captain: 3 times captain score
Bench boost: all 15 players in squad contribute to score
Well thank goodness the SC season is just about over. Absolute rubbish this year.
Bring on Fantasy EPL.
Good luck to you all.
Yay Ibra! :D
Kinda forgot that GW2 started last night but I had Zlatan captain anyway so I guess it's all good?

Not having Ibra has really killed my start to the season
FAARRRRRRKKK! Benched McAuley because of fixtures :( Amat you better keep a clean sheet now!!
Patience running thin on Harry Kane and Gylfi Sigurdsson :-\
I think with Paredes not even being named on the bench this week means I'll trade him out with one of my FTs. Not sure what to do with the other yet.
52 points for me, with Payet and Negredo to come. 60 for the week would be nice :)
Put too much faith in my man Jamie Vardy, probably should have picked Kun Aguero instead.

My phone is saying I got 59 but it hasn't accounted for Drinkwater coming on for Payet and for some unknown reason it says Negredo is my captain? ??? I definitely captained Ibra :P So I believe I got 65 which is low but not the worst! Payet is going, maybe Kane as well? (Get Aguero in and then a cheaper mid?)

Yeah my phone's stuffed up as well. It's right on the laptop tho :-\
Two crappy weeks in a row for me... 30 last week yuk. Only De Gea and Baines got me more than 2.
Using the wildcard this week though, wanted to get rid of Stones, Kane and Eriksen and am using it to pocket some $$$ along the way too :)
41 this week
Pretty average.
I was in this this but somehow stuffed up using my wildcard, ended up getting 24 points taken off my first round score. I emailed them and they wouldn't fix it up for me, I said it doesn't matter there's always next year lol.
I've got a problem. Payet. I still have him and I'm thinking of getting rid of him, but he has some nice fixtures coming up and has played some minutes for France, so is it really worth getting rid of him?

Same issue. I held and was rewarded. That assist though, out of this world.
Would've been better off not using my wildcard... Other than bringing in Capoue (Still benched him) everyone has been crap...

same only made 4 moves ::)
but had capoue on field terrible besides that
Traded out Erikson and look what happened ::)
38 points. Hazard as Captain :'(
I got 38 with Baines and Barkley to go :-\ I told myself to never take the C off Ibra, and holding to that.
My Pre-Wildcard (GW3) team:
De Gea (Jakupovic)
Alderweireld, Baines, Stones (McAuley, Amat)
Sigurdsson, Barkley, Redmond, Eriksen (Drinkwater)
Kane, Negredo, Ibra [c]
My Post-Wildcard (GW4) team:
Foster (Jakupovic)
Valencia, Baines, McAuley, Alderweireld (Amat)
Hazard, Sterling, Barkley (Redmond, Capoue)
Costa, Negredo, Ibra [c]
My GW4 team has 38 with 2 to play, but GW3 team would have 47 points with the same 2 to play, but no doubt I would've played McAuley over Stones (+4) and traded in Capoue for Drinkwater and named him over Redmond (+12)
So I'm stupid! The good bit though is that I used the WildCard to up my team value to $100.8 with $0.9 leftover :)
been eyeing off antonio as liked him last seaosn
didn't know who to cut for him and lok what happens
keepi9ng qa keen eye on everton match as me thinking barley may go West ham got a good fixture still so would be a decent move
Probably should remember to check my team hey...
Thinking about using my Wildcard. I have some good stuff but a bit of dead wood as well. I'm thinking of making say 5 changes, is that an appropriate number to use or should I be looking at more?

GW6 has some fixture changes (arsenal, pool, whm, watford get nice runs) so would ideally use it then, as well as getting kun back in ofcourse
The FPL admin might be as dodgy as the SC admin! Ibra given an assist for something that was not even close to one apparently! (Seeing as he's my perma C I'll take it!)
46 this week. I'm guessing that's on par
I got 48. Starting Capoue this coming GW! Watch him fire a blank now :P
45. First time I've scored below the average score this season. Forgot to use my transfer as well, so will have 2 this week 8)
It is all very close in our league. I scored 64 and managed to drop from 7th to 8th!
dismal 41 points. >:(
Capoue as Capt. >:(
Aguero bangs 13 :'(
dunno about trades yet, but i really want Milner in, he's been amazing the last 2 weeks.
Tried to do transfers last week just before the first game of the round and wouldn't let me and didn't have time after that to do it. Team's unintentionally been left untouched since I made it. :(
Im not doing too bad so far. Sitting 280k or thereabouts and fairly happy with the team I have.
Yeah they lock the lineups an hour before the first game of the week.

Don't get Milner, he relies on pens for points. I would rather be getting Son/Walcott/Lallana for someone in that price range.

Not sure ATM. I have 2 free trades so I was looking at options the other day to move him allowing to upgrade a mid, but there isn't anything that looked enticing enough with a good/reasonable draw.
Depends on what happens with Sterling's injury aswell.
No games this week though, so gonna hold off on any decision until late next week.
Sanchez would have to be the one to jump on in the mids, we have a good draw I read.
My team has turned to dirt. Ibra has been playing well but just can't find a goal!! :(
I'm pretty sure Sterling is faking an injury so he doesn't have to play an international game. I think Sanchez might be a must-have and a couple of weeks ago I downgraded Ibra to Deeney to find the funds for Sanchez. I'm looking to bring in an Arsenal defender because they have looked solid at the back, keeping a clean sheet in their last 2 games.
Another interesting stat is that Southampton have kept a clean sheet in their last 6 games (all competitions). I think I might also invest in Burnley's defence because they have looked super solid at home. Keeping clean sheets against Liverpool and Watford and Arsenal only managed to score against them in the last minute.
Some other mid-priced mids to watch are Walcott, Son and Lallana. They have looked pretty good over the past few weeks.

Yeah Sanchez is the one I want. Originally I was going to go De Bruyne/Antonio, but felt better with Sterling/Payet. Had a feeling Antonio was going to drop off when he moved back from the strikers role.
Arsenals draw was the reason I bought in Cech & Kochielny 2 weeks ago, which turned out to be a masterstroke. Is having Sanchez as a third Arsenal player a bad idea. The next 3 weeks are soft and then it gets a bit tougher.
The problem with downgrading Ibra is I cannot see anyone who im confident enough in.. Lukaku is the one as Man Citys defence is poor, then they have a few good fixtures at home.
Issue is that id be .6 off going Sterling to Sanchez, could get Walcott and leave 3 mil in the bank.
Interesting about Southampton, but im not taking that risk as they have some tough matches coming up, same with Burnley
I don't think having Sanchez is a bad idea and imo, I think he is going to explode against Sunderland and Middlesborough over the next few weeks. I also think Walcott is a good pick and will only be behind Sanchez in Arsenal's total points over the next few games.
Costa may be a one to watch as he has only blanked once this year (score of 2 or less). I've gone for Lukaku because he has easier fixtures compared to Costa.
Son is also one to watch, he's only behind Aguero in minutes per goal.
Well after lasts weeks horrendous 35 (I didn't know the gameweek started Friday night instead of Saturday night and didn't transfer or set my team :'( ) I have played my WC.
Grabbed the key players I was missing and will likely for the first time ever play a 3-5-2 weekly with a midfield of Sanchez, Sterling, Firmino, Walcott and Son

Damn, that's an awesome midfield. I'm guessing your other 6 starters are: Aguero, Lukaku, Walker, Holebas, Koscielny and Heaton.

Well after lasts weeks horrendous 35 (I didn't know the gameweek started Friday night instead of Saturday night and didn't transfer or set my team :'( ) I have played my WC.

Haha I couldn't afford it by like 0.6m because I have low team value.
I ended up going with;
Pick/Grant
Mustafi, Clyne, Holebas, Francis, Amat
Sanchez, Payet, Firmino, Walcott, Leko
Kun, Deeney, Cal Wilson
Captained Wilson this week so have jumped form 12th in our FF league to 4th! Right back in it 8)
I'm on 54 with 2 players to go.
Walcott (C)
Team value - £102.9
Bank - £0.6

You're not in the FF league? Why don't you join?
I'm into equal second now, what a week it's been for me! 64 with firmino to go :)
I wish I had captained someone else instead of Aguero >:(. My disastrous week was salvaged by Holebas. But even with Holebas's 15, I've still done poorly. 36 with Firmino to come.
I want to know how I managed to play this game and not select the Greek man Holebas...
29 with Ibra (C) and Valencia tonight, but slowly losing interest as per usual :P

How have you guys done this week?
It's the first time my defense has done well, with each of them getting a clean sheet. I also think I chose the right captain this week by choosing Payet over Sanchez.
51 with Aguero to go
17... Got 4 players to come though

Good work!
I finished with 49, also Payet C (good call!)
Anyway I am back to the top of the league ladder :P 11th to 1st in just two gameweeks, so anyones game still!

Nice work Spite! I've moved from 7th into 2nd in the fanfooty league but the competition seems tight as the difference in points between ranks is pretty small. Let's hope the arrows stay green and don't turn into a nasty red.
I've dropped to 19th but I reckon guys above me aren't even logging in anymore that's how bad I am :( My reluctance to take the C off Ibra let alone transfer him off is hurting me, but if it means he won't score for as long as I keep it there then I'm happy with that trade off! :P
Where my squad sits right now:
Foster (Jakupovic)
Valencia, Morgan, Holebas (McAuley, Amat)
Hazard, Sterling, Walcott, Shaqiri (Capoue)
Costa, Ibrahimovic, Benteke
Used my FT for the week already (Snodgras -> Shaqiri), but moving forward from here I was thinking of turning Jakupovic into a playing keeper (Heaton?) and then some more shuffling in defence. Got $1.6mil left over

Benteke to Austin would open up a fair few doors for you. Especially if sterling starts getting rotated.
Don't both with a keeper transfer as WBA fixture are about to get good and you won't be playing Heaton
Who are you guys going to captain this week? I'm leaning towards Deeney but may captain Sanchez.

Opposite thought to you but same two people
> Theo Walcott is his favourite player
> Doesn't pick Theo Walcott because of injury history
> Theo Walcott does well
> Brings in Theo Walcott
> Theo Walcott gets injured

Hi All,
Came across this thread today, awesome! Liverpool fan and FPL enthusiast, have joined the league and look forward to the rest of the season!
Stuck with Aguero as C this week and finally got some payback for the poor returns over the past few weeks!

Nice! I wish I had captained Aguero, but instead I captained Deeney. Hull wanted to defend for once >:(
Need a defender, any thoughts? I own Morgan (LEI), Amat (SWA), McAuley (WBA), Holebas (WAT), Valencia (MUN) at the moment. Holebas suspended for the next match, and Valencia is the one i'm transferring out.

Has to be a chelsea defender. Go for Alonso
Who else hates international breaks? :(
Anichebe!!
Even with Ibra and Holebas out, on 47 with McAuley and Foster to play. I knew my fortunes would change eventually!
Last minute change from Aguero to Coutinho for the C, epic fail >:(

Haha yeah I did the same but to Firmino. Still scored well this week even with the C fail :) Up to 19k overall already!
Of course I traded Coutinho in the week >:(

I did it two weeks ago not very happy either :-\
Scored 56 which is nice slowly moving up the rankings :D 3rd in the FF group for the month of November so I'm getting better ;)
Now to make 2 useful transfers... ;)
Only made Countinho to Sigurdsson. I was tempted by Benteke to Anichebe to be able to go Shaqiri to Mane (most likely, in without a Liverpool player) but held off and Benteke gets 12 :D
Got 51 with Ibra C to go :) As long as Ibra gets positive points it'll be another rankings climb
Captain Sanchez means 93 for the week 8)

Yeah I probably need to get him in asap... Trouble is how...
Turning Shaqiri to Fer and can then looking at Jakupovic/Foster to any keeper except Courtois or Fabianski, which one should I get?
Heaton if he's fit
Forster for smoky
Butland when he's back
De Gea if you want to splash the cash
I usually go cheap in GK.
If you have foster then just save the transfer man

I'll keep listening to you but Foster is really bugging me :(
Shaqiri -> Fer did nothing in the end as Shaqiri got 2 but Fer didn't play (Anyone know why?) so I get Capoue's 2 off the bench.
On 34 mainly thanks to Gylfi getting 13, with Foster, Alonso, Hazard, Costa and Ibra (c) to come. Hopefully can make it my 5th 50+ week in a row.
Ended up on 59 so pretty happy :)
Now it's operation get Sanchez for the Boxing Day matches (So in 3 GWs time)... I want to do it whilst keeping Costa, Hazard, Ibra, Benteke, Sigurdsson and Walcott so it's going to be pretty much impossible haha
Or maybe I should just spend the $3.1 mil I have in the bank and back the guns I have got.
Edit: Oooo Benteke has United, Chelsea and Arsenal in 3 of their next 4, is there a cheap striker I could jump on??
Extended my run of 50+ scores into 8 GameWeeks 8) This Ibra perma-C is starting to work out alright ;)
Sitting top of the FF league for December at this point as well :o (Others would have more players remaining so I will probably lose that spot tonight)
Need 3 from Holebas to make it 9 in a row with 50+ :-\ Hoping for an assist against an under strength Spurs.
Not overly happy with the trades I just made but we will see. Turned Alonso and Hazard to Daniels and Sanchez and took a -4 at the same time. I wanted to get Sanchez in two weeks ago, but now I think I have to. His numbers have been better with Giroud in the team, his scoring hasn't come yet though.
Foster (Jakupovic)
Daniels, Holebas, Walker (McAuley, Amat)
Sanchez, Pogba, Antonio, Phillips (Capoue)
Ibra, Costa, Negredo
Where I sit at the moment. Want to move on both Watford players soon, especially Holebas to another defender (Will need to see who's fixtures look good)
Looks like WINNING! will take out the FF League. Has a 22 point lead on Bulgarian Beats heading into the final round.
Looks like I will finish 8th at worst, 6th at best, about 100 points off the leader (Which was all lost early in the season). Pretty happy that I have played the entire season though, been fun doing this :D
Congrats WINNING, didn't even realise I nearly caught you lol should have made Kane but mucked around with Matip. Well done!
