Discussion 2024/25 EPL Dream Team Discussion: GW21 starts WEDS 15th JAN @ 5:30am AEST [3 GAMES]

[Under The Dome]

Shame about KDB! Seems like you've had a reasonable round apart from KDB in both formats. Any thoughts on who you will target?

Saka/Maddison in RDT and I've done KDB to Rashford in FPL.

 

[Miller is a Steele]

I’ll probably hold in both formats unless something goes wrong in the last game.

I’ll likely boost in GW3 for RDT to get the main rookie priced players I’ve missed. Pretty happy with my FPL team. Probably offload Estupinan and Pedro in GW4, but no plan yet for GW3.

 

[The Banker]

Went KDB to Maddison today in FPL. Wasn't risking the 0.1 drop.

Don't think I will make a move in RDT.

So you can trade already in FPL?

 

[jaca]

Rolling trades but full lock out seems strange.

 

[Foxy's Fe-Lions]

RDT:
117 with B. Fernandes and Garnacho (gulp) to come.

Not sure about extent of Timber's injury but guessing he's a must trade?

 

[Burly]

Mudryk benched. Was busy at work otherwise I'd probably have got Nketiah when he started.
Thought about changing formation and putting Udogie in the starting 11.
Now I'm left holding my crotch, as I can't get anyone else but Garnacho. Gazpacho it is then.

I reckon Garnacho will be good. Was in my side until I saw the Nketiah selection.
Garnacho straight back to sub when the new striker is ready though... fingers crossed he gets a few goals

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

Rolling trades but full lock out seems strange.

You can trade, but it counts as your 1 free trade for the week. It's the trading in FPL that increases or decreases the value of a player, so it's often important to get in early otherwise a player's value will rise.

 

[tso]

So you can trade already in FPL?

Yeah. You can literally trade as soon as the game updates b4 the first game.
Can't reverse though like some games.

 

[Burly]

My advice to newer FPL players is to hold fire on the trades until you are sure the guy you trade in is certain to play (as certain as you can get). Losing 0.1 is nowhere near as bad as trading in someone who then goes on to get injured during the week, usually necessitating a -4 points for a further trade. Trades are precious in FPL and the less hits the better your rank will generally be

 

[jaca]

I started the season with 1m in the bank in FPL, so hoping that will get me through the initial bumps.

What is a typical price change over the season?

 

[Burly]

Total team value can be in the 105 - 108K range, something like that. Team value is important when you come to wildcard, especially the second one after the new year. Having said that, the prices are MUCH more generous this season, so team value is less important. I think they have made the game easier to play (much like Supercoach) to attract as many players as possible.

A single player can maybe rise 1.0 - 1.5 across the year. Price rises in FPL are based on Trades In rather than score, so the more popular the player becomes, the better the price will be. Last year I got Trippier at 5.0 at the start of the season - he ended up in 7 territory from memory.

Thank you!

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

Obviously the higher or lower the value of the player, the more impact the trades will have. KdB will have a bigger price drop than say a Gabriel would if he was out injured, and vice versa.

I agree, it's not paramount to trade early, especially if the increase or decrease might be marginal, or if you have $$, but I used the complete 100m, so I had to trade before Aby price changes

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

Keep in mind that you only get 50% or lower of price increases when selling, but 100% of price decreases.

 

[vsberlina]

I am already thinking Foden must go for one of the above. Timber to Chilwell.

Can probably wait a week before going Foden to Tonali, but Wissa & Chilwell are musts.

 

[vsberlina]

177 all out.

Can’t complain with all on field players, except for Flekken, reaching double figures. Will probably be the only time this year I bench the right players.

177? That's diabolical, Diabolical.

 

[vsberlina]

I will when he drops to 7 million.

Seems 23% paid 10m for him when for the same price, they could have got Salah.
I think it shows a lot of people don't follow EPL closely, or at least look at the odd YT video.
