FPL

FIVE free transfers
Up until now, you've only been able to bank two free transfers. Well, if you want to be patient and plan ahead, you can now accumulate up to FIVE free transfers.

On top of that, when you play the Wildcard and Free Hit chips, your saved transfers will no longer reset to zero.

So you can now save five free transfers, then play any of your chips and immediately have five free transfers to use in the following Gameweek.

You've always been able to keep two free transfers when playing the Bench Boost and Triple Captain chips, so there's no real change there - except that you can now bank the extra three free transfers as well!

Mystery Chip
TBA in January

BPS Changed too

FPL OPEN

First draft

 

[Cheerio]

First draft trying to fit in both Salah and Haaland. Solid but I think I'll have to start the season without Haaland to increase the squad quality all round.

First Draft

 

[Under The Dome]

I'll probably forget about it again half way through. There is too many breaks to keep on top of gameweeks.
Hopefully Ramsdale gets leant out.

 

[T43597]

I think i like this one more. Im committed to going Haaland/Watkins/Isak. I have flirted with the idea of dropping one down to Jaou Pedro but i think id rather take all 3 and go with a cheaper midfield (Hudson-Odoi) pick than J.Pedro and a more expensive mid. If i could get Foden for Hudson-Odoi by dropping Watkins down to J.Pedro, i would strongly consider doing so but im 0.5M short & im not willing to find that extra 0.5M. Besides, my competitive advantage is that i am stacking the forwards, if i drop Watkins i end up losing that potential (even if my midfield becomes significantly stronger). Foden/Saka would be great additions but im not so bullish on them that i start downgrading in other areas.

 

[Connoisseur]

Usually forget all about it after a few rounds but one of these seasons I would like to give it a good go.

 

[Burly]

This looks pretty good for now.
Haaland looks by far the best captain for GW2 - not sure how to deal with that just yet

 

[Under The Dome]

Haaland down to Watkins after GW2 does look enticing

 

[T43597]

Haaland down to Watkins after GW2 does look enticing

If i decide to go all 3 of Haaland, Salah & Palmer i will likely make that trade. Given i downgraded Watkins to Joao Pedro to get Salah, i think ill drop Haaland to Watkins and then potentially go for a mid upgrade

 

[T43597]

I am tempted by this team. It has the highest priced player in each position and still a few mid-pricers that have value. I cant ignore the Liverpool players given their draw. With the Haaland/Salah/Palmer combo and decent defenders in Saliba and TAA, there is very little money leftover for defenders 4 & 5 and midfielders 3-5. If Winks & Rogers perform this team will be strong but that is a big if.

[Old Big 'Ead]

Was wondering if anyone was interested in being involved in a competition that I'd run? Would be similar to the Fantasy EPL.

Things to be included, and differences include
- There would be no restriction on players in terms of price.
- 2 players per team, with 15 players, and 1 trade per round.
- Can bank for 2 rounds
- Same formations allowed in Fantasy EPL with 3 reserves, plus GK
- One WC up to 31/12, and post December
- Bench boost as well
- VC and C as per usual
- Same scoring as Fantasy EPL

At this stage, I just want to get an interest. If there is enough, I will start a new thread. I am away for work early next week and during GW2-3, but I will always do my best to keep trades and tables up to date.

Let me know if there are any questions, or things I should include that I may have missed.

No restrictions on prices means Haaland, Salah, Foden, Palmer, Saka, Trent, Watkins in every team i
would say at least
