If these are the extent of your grievances, I think we're ok.

what about the bargains? 9.0 for Cesc for instance? Silva for 9.0?

people always expect to pick whoever they want at the start of the season. it's not how it works.

i've already seen people moaning about some of the prices for Ramsey, Ozil, Cesc, Sturridge. the game is a farce if the prices are so low that you can just pick who you basically want.

Silva at 9 is a bargain, fabregas is too injury prone and i think hazard is the main man there if he can find his form

manual_man · 16-07-2014 2:36pm

Ramsey 9.0 STEAL

Mr.Prodston · 16-07-2014 2:46pm

Oh well that's my productivity for the afternoon/summer out the window now :pac:

My first thoughts are that while a few of the players I'd had in mind like a good few of us eg Tadic/Trippier are over priced there is almost too much value in the game. 3-5-2 looks to be the way to go even though I'll always be a 3-4-3 man. Yaya at 11 will hopefully put people off him or won't and normal service will resume this season. Apart from that there's no real bank breakers like the phantom RVP/Bale conundrum of last year's pre-season.

Strikers are dirt cheap as are the midfielders. Defenders seem to have gone up a little reflecting the BPS from last season but bargains are still available.

There's still so many players to come in before we can really know what players will be playing in what system especially with the WC just over but hopefully pre-season will be a good guide.

Matt Targett of Southampton might get a chance at LB with Shaw gone and he's 4.0 so that's my early punt :P Now all we need is a certain someone to be signed by Crystal Palace under Pulis (making that up completely but a man can dream :pac: )

Also if Newcastle can sort out their defending then their defenders have great prices.

Oh it's good to have it back

Gatame · 16-07-2014 2:46pm

Jamie Vardy & Ings or Vokes likely for me. (With the money then spent on midfielders: Sanchez & Fabregas are tempting.)

Vokes did his cruciate out till the new year.

Lemlin · 16-07-2014 3:17pm

This is some midfield for 41 million:

Fabregas - 9 mil
Silva - 9 mil
Sanchez - 10.5 mil
Odemwingie - 6.5
Sigurdsson -6.0

Michu available at 7.5 as well.

slingerz · 16-07-2014 3:22pm

4-4-2 the formation to go for??

I think it is or even 4-5-1. If bonus points are similar i think defenders will still possess value in that regards.

Mr. Guappa · 16-07-2014 3:47pm

Lemlin wrote: »

Debuchy at 5.5 could be a decent option when his move to Arsenal goes through.

Looks like he has been priced with the Arsenal move in mind. Gibbs is the same price and the rest of the Newcastle defenders are 4.5. He will be a definite option if the Arsenal move does go through.

jimmii · 16-07-2014 4:07pm

Go go go its live!

T-b0n3 · 16-07-2014 4:07pm

And...

It's back!

MagicIRL · 16-07-2014 4:07pm

Will have a proper goo when I'm home but Erikson at 8m is the Ramsey of last season. He's the man at Spurs, only problem is the lack of a quality CF since Soldado just imploded.

Paully D · 16-07-2014 4:10pm

Will this be there year that the three starting strikers which the vast majority have favoured over the last few years stops and the focus swings to midfielders? I think it will.

You've got the likes of Sanchez, Fabregas, Silva, Ramsey, Yaya, Walcott, Hazard et al. In comparison, there appears to be so many question marks over the elite strikers. Suarez is gone obviously, but can Sturridge lead the line in his absence? Can Aguero stay fit? etc etc.

There are so many good mids it's going to be hard to pin them down to five. I picked five above and I had forgotten about Hazard and Eriksen.

Could well do. Its certainly going to be a more interesting season. Last year it really became a 10 player game (more so than when the majority were going RVP in previous seasons) this season we should be big variety of captain picks should mix it up nicely.

Mr.Prodston · 16-07-2014 4:16pm

In the words of Martin Tyler....

..."and it's live!!"

jimmii · 16-07-2014 4:18pm

UFPL also live went a little under the radar there with all the fuss of the main game!

jimmii · 16-07-2014 4:28pm

Lol you need to enter your passport details for UFPL!

bicboy6666 · 16-07-2014 4:30pm

First thoughts;
Dzeko 8.5m take that thank you,
Remy 7.5m decent,
Chambers for Southampton
Sanchez obviously going to be popular
Sakho 5.5 up ya boyo
Tom Ince 5.5 could get interesting.

KevIRL · 16-07-2014 4:30pm

Team ID number 1814. My lowest in a few years

jimmii · 16-07-2014 4:38pm

FPL I got 168 down a good bit on last years 20! In UFPL got 35.

Does the Irish Passport have a 44 digit sequence on the bottom of the ID page? I have a UK passport and that is the number you need to enter as proof you are over 18.

Can't seem to remember how to get my team ID. Could you refresh my memory?

Thanks

Mr.Prodston · 16-07-2014 4:42pm

Vertonghen at 6 is quite nice too, he was completely priced out of things last season. Although he could be off to Barca or somewhere else

Yeh 6 for him looks very good one of the first players I picked out!

38... Guess I was a bit keen...

Copper_pipe · 16-07-2014 4:48pm

I better dig out the passport. How much will the ultimate game set me back?

bicboy6666 · 16-07-2014 4:48pm

Ideas on GK? was thinking Krul myself saw him mentioned, very tempted by de gea. think utd will keep a lot of cleanies this year.

DDG/4m and Krul/Mannone seem the front runners at this stage. Haven't looked into it a massive amount yet though.

I've a 5 pound note in the wallet from a trip to england a few weeks ago. I'll post it on to them :pac:

That and a copy of your passport should do the job.

extra gravy · 16-07-2014 5:19pm

First draft:

Krul (Mannone)
Debuchy Jones Azpi (Dummett, Chambers)
Sanchez Fabregas Eriksen Arnautovic Henderson
RVP Dzeko (Zamora)

No Yaya, Silva, Ramsey, Ozil, Mata...so many options!

6787 for me

OneColdHand · 16-07-2014 5:36pm

Interesting to see some of the prices and draft teams here. Gonna try and hold off logging in for a few days, as I know once I do I won't be able to stop tinkering!

Sooner or Later · 16-07-2014 5:40pm

6720

Put in a random team. Not going to look at it for a while yet.

Who am I kidding

Gatame · 16-07-2014 6:04pm

Anybody for Krul/Schmeichel? @ 4.5m each - Leicester have some very tough games at start of season but newcastle have better fixtures during those game weeks.

What promoted players are we looking at?

Leicester - Morgan @ 4.5, Schmeichel @ 4.5, Drinkwater @ 5.5
Burnley - Ings @ 6.0, Arfield @ 5.0

Jason Puncheon or Charlie Adam? both @ 6.0 - Have Puncheon for now because of the more favourable fixtures.

And how much do we reckon Costa will be? Have sturridge as my marker for him as of now @ 11.5...

Alfred Borden · 16-07-2014 6:08pm

Most my money is going on midfield. Just too much quality there for it not to. Think ill be playing 4-4-2 for the first time in a long time.

Burlap_Sack · 16-07-2014 6:09pm

First of many drafts

shadowcomplex · 16-07-2014 6:14pm

Imagine how much of a bargain Kagawa could potentially be at 6.5m?If LVG can get his form back to his Dortmund days we are talking a 9-10m player here

Any idea what the Manchester United first choice defense will be this year? I presume they'll sign a CB, but for now?

FHFC · 16-07-2014 6:24pm

Yay. Looked in here last night for the first time since before the World Cup and lo and behold FPL is back today.

Well ready for my second season now, hadn't found this forum till after season started last year so looking forward to all the gems you lads will point me towards.

Hard to beat a wee break. Let get started.

What do people think of RVP's value and is he likely to be in a any of your week 1 teams?

tom_k · 16-07-2014 6:34pm

Jaysus it didn't take long for this place to get lively again.:D

Alfred Borden · 16-07-2014 7:38pm

Vermaelen at 5 million is a bargain if he goes to United.

Ziegler1988 · 16-07-2014 7:52pm

Anyone thinking about Siem de Jong? Only 7.0m mid who can play striker; he may even be on free kicks and penalties. Scored in their friendly yesterday

GillespieRoad · 16-07-2014 8:14pm

Ramsey will be an absolute certainty for my team, got that feeling about him! Oh, and,um, hey again

GLaDOS · 16-07-2014 8:22pm

Midfield options are ridiculous this year, feels weird having to go with budget strikers

Scorpion Sting · 16-07-2014 8:30pm

First draft, happy enough with it.

Krul and Mannone - cheap rotating keepers

Cahill, Shaw, Debuchy - decent options for the top teams assuming Debuchy moves to Arsenal

4 premium mids that should rack up big scores

Rooney - a seasoned veteran at this stage
Remy - at 7.5m is perfectly priced and could move to a bigger team
Gomis - don't know too much about him but had a pretty good scoring record in France
