General FPL Chat Season 2013/14

KevIRL · 2013-07-15 16:17:35

Probably a good idea to get a new one of these going with the new season (FPL wise) now open. New additions to the game include Ultimate Fantasy Premier League, New Bonus Points System and perhaps a less contentious assist rule for 2013/14 Of course a whole new range of prices and there is a squad discussion thread here

Could some one explain how these price changes work again. Both Coleman and Barkley showing a progress of over 100% on both totalfpl and on fiso, but no price change.

Plus, could someone please explain NTI.

Thanks.

And NTI means Net Transfers In.

So total transfers in minus total transfers out.

Just looking through the bonus point allocations and any team with a clean sheet seems to reward the CBs a lot :eek:

Nice one for that. I only skimmed through the threads from yesterday late last night.

That's quite compelling really. No wonder Vertonghen was priced at 7.0 picking up 2 BPs on top of everything he got last year. 5-2-3 could be the new 3-5-2 :pac: Seriously though it's something we'll have to keep a very close eye on and adds another thing to consider with those wildcarding early

Lads, out of curiosity, does anyone know of any Irish strikers in the FF?

I can think of Shane Long and Joe Mason at Cardiff. I usually do up an all Irish team just for myself, but I can't find a third striker (even a benchwarmer).

Cheers.

There's a thread here on it:

Rory Donnelly of Swansea is a potential option depending on how you interpret the rules with NI :pac:

RB but Martinez likes his full backs getting forward.

Graham Burke at Villa? Don't know if he's listed in FF though.

sagna and gibbs train ahead of fenerbache match so maybe the arsenal defence won't be in tatters afterall.

not sure how sagna avoided a serious injury after that fall! very lucky chap.

Hey guys, are any of you like me this week.
Spent days and days researching, reading, adjusting, getting advice, agonising and get my team at last.
I am in the bottom half of nearly all the leagues I am in and my main one is being led by a 13 year old girl who "just picked the players I like"

Don't worry, 1 week is a ridiculously small sample size. It's akin to beating a professional poker player in a single hand.

Hard work and footballing knowledge will come up trumps in the end. Nobody finishes top 10000 in this game having "just picked the players I like".

Puncheon to Palace might be worth keeping an eye on.

Confirmed on loan for the season now. At 5.5 I wouldn't be keen at all though. It could diminish Thomas' game time though as the race for a cheap mid intensifies before we wildcard once the window closes.

Willian going to Spurs would be a very exciting transfer. Assume Bale would have to be off to Madrid if he signs. A front 3 of Soldado with Willian and Chadli/Lennon with Demebele/Sandro/Paulinho is a frightening proposition.

The number of different options are stacking up now and will be a very different season to last years that's for sure!

Adding Erik Lamela to that front three of Willian and Soldado and holy cow Soldado could be bargain of the year if the transfers go through and gel pretty quickly

Anyone else see this about Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The newspaper detailed a clause in the player’s contract that stated the London club have to pay Southampton £10,000 every time the midfielder plays 20 minutes or more.

Are the assists a bit stricter this year?
Dzeko might have been given 2 and Hazard might have got the one tonight for being the last Chelsea player to touch the ball before the goal.

From the FPL site: If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded.

It wasnt a pass though it was a shot so the below applies

Rebounds
If a shot on goal is blocked by an opposition player, is saved by a goalkeeper or hits the woodwork, and a goal is scored from the rebound, then an assist is awarded
