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!

Literally 0% chance you play out the whole season. Don't think you realise how long it is  :P

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 ;)

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?

Think you were winning before you bailed as well, pretty strange way to go about it!!

Some good team name puns I have seen...

"Holding Matip"

"Ayew Holding Matip"
  ;D  ;D  ;D

Haha won't be disappointed if you choose not to play, just remember that you never could beat me though  ;D  :P

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.
