Ha, I wish I had been playing seriously that long; my Hall of Fame ranking would be much better. Shamelessly stolen from FFS and then I put last season's data in since that was easy to find.

Yeh it's a list an ffs guy came up with a few years back that's been updated each season. FPL folk are a weird bunch.

TaytoCrisps

Can't wait for it to start up again , been a long month not even being able to log in !
Looks like I will be down to 2 money leagues with work/friends this year had 5 or 6 to join the few last years.

I copied and pasted all price change records from last season into a spreadsheet and spent a a good part of a slow day at work a couple of weeks ago sorting them and doing some graphs.........

That table of launch dates is playschool stuff.

I recall hear of this spreadsheet in hushed tones many moons ago. No one dared speak of it out loud for fear of mockery but each knew they would love see its dirty numbers.

jimmii

Or in cockney show us sum fing graphs mate.

Very good
I'm also a united fan but aguero will always always be in my team if fit.
People can justify not having him whatever way they want. He is the best Fpl player simple as .
Won one league in particular last year due to the "aguero is too expensive " line of thinking.
That DGW was beautiful as he also thought Sanchez wasn't worth the money.

Excellent article I'd agree with all the points yout made. However I have no problem with a strong front 8 and leaving players with points on the bench .My thinking would be I may have sold that particular player if I was going with the bench fodder option.

Rikand

I want to pick my team now

Just wait for the fantasy site to be active, and log in with your previous password.

WARNING: Waiting can take some time

Be patient the rest of us having been going through this for a week you're lucky you're just joining the part now! The sign button will pop up probably on the top right that's where it was when the site went live. Hopefully not too long to go now.

Good way to pass the time is to have a laugh at the freaking out twitter to mark Rogers tweets people are going crazy!

I thought ya always had to re register in advance with the prem league website though?

No. Just wait and log on when it's ready

No need to log on to their website when fantasy is unavailable.

You normally do. It's a whole new site who will know what will happen. Guessing you'll have to register like normal.
