Gameweek 10 - 34 points from Chambers and Sanchez that week was very nice.

Captain Sanchez and Chambers for me that week. 50 points between them!! Scored 95 overall. Launched me onto my best run of the season and into top 1k.

Good times!

As a relative newcomer to fpl I'm interested in hearing from some of the historians on here about past seasons, this is my third season and the top breakout players I can recall from each season are Michu, Ramsey and Kane, players who started under six million but put up 10m seasons. Who were others from the previous seasons to have a similar impact? Who do we think could be the ones to do it next year?

Charlie Adam at Blackpool had some season

My first (half)-season playing the game. The BP system was done by 3 pundits IIRC and Charlie Adam was "guaranteed" 1 at least no matter what Blackpool were doing. You knew if they got a goal he'd be involved. What a legend he's been for a season .

The same season (2010-11), Andy Carroll had an astonishing first half of season before he moved to Liverppol at the very end of the January transfer window and buried down his career...

Lemlin

Fellaini three years ago at Everton. Stephen Ireland at Man City one season. Yakubu at Blackburn. David Bentley at Blackburn. Demba Ba at Newcastle. Martin Laursen at Villa. Martin Petrov at Man City. Darren Bent at Charlton. Ashley Young while at Villa.

CrabieCrawford

Siggy got 102 points after signing on loan in Jan in the 2011/2012 season.

Clint Dempsey also got 17 league goals in his 2012/2013, dont know his assists or total points, but he got a huge score. To put a bit of perspective on it the top goalscoring midfielders in the game this year are Sanchez with 16 and Hazard with 14

I remember a season when Richard Dunne played for Villa and all he had to do in the second half of the season was put on the jersey to get 3 bonus points.

I'm sure I'd get it if I racked my brains hard enough.
Who do ye think is the cheapest player ever to go mental. Any minimum price heroes?

Morten Gamst Peterson.

What was that baldy fella used to play up front for Crystal Palace? Johnson, was it? Anyway, him.

qwabercd

Martin laursen was the BP king. He could get sent off in a 5 nil defeat and still doddle home with the 3 BPs.

spock.

I remember in my 1st season I had Thomas Sorensen in goal.
He saved about 4 penalties in the space of a couple of months!
That was back when Stoke used to keep clean sheets aswell.

He was an infuriating player to own. He was like Christian Eriksen of the 2000s.

Kane tbh. 4.8 when I got him earlier this year. No bargain basement price player has ever delivered so consistantly for so long.

Not in 05-06. Started at 7 mil iirc and ended the season at near 10. 9 goals and god knows how many assists.

As a Blackburn fan I had him from the start and he was huge for me that season.

Fair enough, as the resident Blackburn fan you'd remember! I can't remember specific seasons, just in general that he had a knack of going on a dry run when I had him and going nuts when I sold him.

There used to be players as low as 3m in the early days if they played they were obviously insane value. Steed Malbranque was another player who was good value for a season. I've played FPL since the start and I don't think a player has come close to what Kane has done this season. You often get players having breakthrough seasons but never they're normally already 6m. The 5m price range is meant for the no hopers!

Liam2012

Seamus Coleman had a magnificent breakout season 2 years ago I think. Sterling's first year (2 years ago too?) was also memorable. Ramsey started off at great value last year too. But like others I think Kane this year has surpassed all others.

jimmii

Siggy was another who was a 5.5m range bargain when he arrived. Kanes PPG is higher than (most peoples) purchase price I think its fair to say we won't see a player play as many minutes and do that for a long long time.

greedygoblin

Gabby Heinze in his first season at Utd. I think it was 04/05. He wasn't first choice but got an extended run in the team due to injuries. He was reasonably cheap I think for a Utd defender. 5.0 or thereabouts.
