    Is the ultimate fantasy league replacing the original? My 11.28am sat morning transfer decisions were an enjoyable/horrible part of my week depending on the results ☺.

    RVP will be the main man at United. Himself and LvG are practically related at this stage.

    I wouldn't overlook Rooney or Mata though. If LvG plays Mata behind RvP, he will absolutely be in my team. Likewise, if Rooney plays up front with RVP, he could definately be worth the money.

    Erikson at Spurs should do well under their new manager, and having not set the league alite last year, should be relatively cheap. Sanchez at Arsenal is another one to consider because he's just a superb player. Walcott could be another option if he operates on the opposite flank and returns to form post-injury.

    Obviously with a lot of transfers still to go, Vidal/Hummels @ United would be decent shouts if cheap enough, especially Hummels. Expect united to be a lot more solid with LvG at the helm. Also looking at Chelsea/City for the back four.

    Courtois (sp?) between the sticks as well, adding in Mourinho's playstyle, could be seriously worth paying big money for.

    Crystal Palace have had a bid accepted for Sigurdson of Spurs. If he gets back to his Swansea form he could be a good option.

    Holy hell! There's absolutely no reason that he can't, I think. He didn't get a look in at Spurs. I was just thinking yesterday that if he got games this season at Spurs he could be real FPL value. He's on my list anyway ;)

    It was great thanks. Brilliant atmosphere over there was there for all the group phase so spent the day watching football and the night partying. I'm only getting back to normal now that type of drinking was much easier in my 20s.

    Looking forward to this again this year! For those of you who elected not to play the World Cup FF, you made a good decision. Absolute shambles

    LAst year though they were drip feeding some player prices in advance of the site going up. But that doesn't seem to be happening. Not sure if that means they are while away from it going live, or if they just won't be doing that this year.

    I emailed FPL today enquiring about likely live date of the site for the new season, yet to get a response though.

    Anyone seen any info on other sites?

    I'm recharged and ready to obsess over this again. Hopefully it goes live this week.

    If Hummels did go to Utd he would be a great call imo. Don't see that transfer happening though.
    Don't know would Vidal be the best value for money. Picks up yellows. Looked at his stats overall at Juve.
    96 appearances
    28 goals
    19 assists
    31 yellows.

    For me attacking midfielders and wingers are the way to go. Higher up they play the better

    tipped up on FFS but for me Sigurdsson if his move to Palace goes through would be a decent cheap midfielder
