Ultimate Premier League 2014/15

Alrighty then heres my team. Hard to pick a squad with so many options! My striker options are a bit on the risky side, could probably downgrade one of the midfielders

Goalkeepers: Krul, Guzan, Foster

Defenders: Debuchy, Lovren, Ferdinand, Filipe Luis, Colocinni, Evans, Baker, Nastasic

Midfielders: Coutinho, Ramsey, Hazard, Navas, Mata, Sigurdsson, Mutch, Brady

Strikers: Bojan, Rooney, Sturridge, Gomis, Sanago, Weimann

Hackers · 12-08-2014 3:10pm

For what its worth my comments would be:

Would you not consider De Gea as you are allowed 4 from each club?

Baker may not be a guaranteed starter and Villa's start is horrible anyway

Is Nastasic a guaranteed starter?

Cant see Navas getting a lot of game time

Is Sanchez not a must have, especially in the Ultimate game? He has 40% ownership so a bit of a risk going without him

Obviously funds could be a problem to carry out some of the above changes but maybe you need to consider having a couple of the 4.0 million defenders to raise funds that have chance of playing ( Wisdom, Moore). You will likely only play 3 at the back anyway so maybe you have too much invested in defence.

Good points. De Gea is purely a budget issue at the moment

Geoff Cameron and Wisdom in for Baker and Nastasic

Navas out and Sanchez in meant some more rejigging so Sigurdsson loses out and Albrighton of Leicester comes in

Anyone any luck finding an android app that lets you manage your ultimate fpl setup?

Nah I didnt have any trouble signing up. I though you would be an expert in getting around fraud checks anyway :P I dont think I'll be winning anything, just learning the ropes this year.

I have emailed them to see what the craic is but still cant get pass the checks. If they dont sort it out by Sat i will sit the league out, if they i manage to sign up i will join the league.

Hype710 · 13-08-2014 11:43pm

So essentially you stack your team with Saturday players and sub out all the low performing ones for your Sunday/Monday players? Real stick or twist element to it, I imagine the trickiest part is knowing which players to sub in.

Count me in. setup a league but no one has signed up so need to keep some interest

Hackers · 14-08-2014 12:46am

I am going to set up a mini league for the below in the morning, those who have expressed an interest will get a PM with the code and also details on how to make the payment. We will see how sign up goes from there. If it falls through monies will be returned ASAP on Monday.

Any one else interested can express their interest and I will PM the needed info to join

Think I have my team sorted, all match day 1 players in the starting 11.

Hackers · 14-08-2014 5:24pm

Got that now, thanks!

Looks like you can carry your transfers forward and have 12 the last week of the transfer window . could be the best way to go to see who's on form . Could go badly wrong if you miss out on this years ramsey/yaya band wagon .

KevIRL · 14-08-2014 9:24pm

I'll join the pay league lads, can I pay via paypal

Between the amount of time that will go into the 2 different games I could end up getting a divorce !

That is correct, that wasn't part of the beta game last season.

Think best approach would be to hold them all until the last week, transfer window will be closed by then and we will all have a better view on regular starting 11's

Anyone having problems with ultimate?
I'm trying to sign up for it, but when it asks for my details, the submit button remains greyed out even after I fill out all the data. Has the deadline passed to sign up?

I doubt it, sounds like a browser issue. Try it on firefox,chrome and IE.

You might be behind a proxy which is routing you through a prohibited location. Due to gambling rules users from some countries are banned from signing up and a corporate proxy may show you trying to sign up from a different country.

retalivity · 15-08-2014 6:33pm

i was able to pick my team earlier but couldnt complete it as it wouldnt accept my details, now im home (in dublin) and tring to sign up an it wont even let me as far as the team selection screen as im in a country where online gambling is not allowed???

Not sure what is going on, have reset my IP and flushed the DNS, am also signed in where it says my country is Ireland, but to no avail

EDIT: Cleared the cache, that seems to have fixed it

Final reminder for €10 in boards FSA pay league in this. 7 in and paid, any last minute entrants send me a PM

I'm liking the later deadline, can get Blackett in now

Still time to get Jesse Lingard in, people

The scoring must be different in this game. Rooney got 6 points for his goal.

It is different. A goal is 6 points regardless of the players position. Few other differences too

During the season fantasy players will be allocated a point score after each game, based on their performances in Barclays Premier League matches. Points are awarded as detailed in the table below:

Action Points
For playing in a game 1
For playing at least 60 minutes in a game (includes playing points mentioned above) 2
For each goal scored 6
For each goal assist (when a pass or cross leads to a goal being scored, no defender touch must interfere with the pass) 3
For your goalkeeper or defenders conceding 0 goals (must also play at least 60 minutes) 4
For your midfielders conceding 0 goals (must also play at least 60 minutes) 1
For every 3 saves 1
For every penalty save 5
For every 2 goals conceded by your goalkeeper or defenders -1
For every penalty conceded -1
For every penalty miss -2
For every yellow card -1
For every red card (includes any yellow card points) -3
For every own goal -2
For every 3 crosses (a cross is defined where the ball is played to a team mate in the penalty area) 1
For every 3 key passes (a key pass is one that leads to a shot at goal) 1
For every big chance created (a big chance is one where the analyst determines the player should score) 1
For every big chance missed -1
For every 8 clearances, blocks or interceptions 1
For every 8 recovered balls 1
For every error leading to a goal -1
Assists
Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the final pass before a goal is scored. An assist is awarded whether the pass was intentional (that it actually creates the chance) or unintentional (that the player had to dribble the ball or an inadvertent touch or shot created the chance).

An awful start in this. 8 of first 11 got 2 or 3 points so all them have to go!

I have dzeko and costa still to play as captaincy choices. Will probably change i think.

Question on the matchday 2 changes. Can they be made right up to before kickoff or what is the cut off time for manager substitutions?

Yea I think you can make changes before the kickoff of the first match so 130pm is tomorrow's deadline.

If you have Sturridge and Costa then it probably is worth the risk in my opinion. Both of them are odds on to score so that means it's over 3/1 that both of them will blank.
