    @machiavellanme:

    Thought crack the code started earlier (found a 09-10 thread => http://fiso.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=62623&sid=4d78614996f6ab1702dcad402d43e3c2) but won't nitpick for one season.

    fiso may be responsible for FPL to stop giving prizes to the most valuable teams 'cause they found it became too easy, I don't know. Anyway fiso did not make your strategy impossible to use nor less effective. You just can't get any direct prize for it anymore.
    By announcing price changes in advance, many more players would pay active attention to that part of the game (regardless of what you think) and erode the point of my strategy. It's the same as when a player is flagged and transfered out in their droves (like Aguero has been).
    You don't know that. You seem to suppose that if we knew precisely who were going to rise or fall, we'll all transfer in or out players to build team value regardless of the amount of hits we'd take or of the inherent risk of early transfers.
    And comparing it with flagging is far fetched in my view. When a player is flagged people transfer him out 'cause they know he won't play and thus won't return points. It is particularly true for Agüero who's taking a significant part of anyone's budget. When a player is about to rise or drop, not everyone jumps on it. They still may rate a falling player. They may want to see more from a rising player. They may not be convince a premium player (e.g. Sanchez this week) will be as valuable this season than he was in previous ones. etc... etc... I see no reason why they'd change this attitude if they knew exactly about the players rising or falling.
    If it were horse racing, what we have is much like the current system. Punters learn all the variables and react accordingly, thereby influencing price. It allows opportune punters to place a bet at the optimal price but in doing so influences it for others. When a favourite emerges (because it is most likely to return in the eyes of the players) the price responds accordingly. I don't think anyone would bet if the results of a race were known in advance because the price would be prohibitive. The same with FPL. If you know how much a player will cost in the future, it is driven by response to the variables of the game. If its a higher price it's likely because that player is returning higher points or has the potential to. Others will see this and jump on the bandwagon so you end up with template teams due to price watching.
    Sorry but this makes no sense to me. You're still comparing apples with oranges in my view. Because if in horse racing it is important to bet at the optimal prize to optimise your gains, in FPL it is not that critical to get in players at the best price. So your strategy will be valid and achievale anyway. There will always be performing cheapies that people will be happy to take in place of a premium player they'd "sacrifice" for not building team value as you do. And getting in players late sometimes turns out to be an advantage, giving you more flexibility to sell if necessary. We see that every season and we already know quite well about price changes.

    And what you're saying about template teams is a bit of a myth in my view. If I take my own example, it's my 7th season playing. The price change system at least changed 4 times. Prediction sites are doing well roughly with the same accuracy each year. Do we have more template teams now because people got used to prediction sites and follow them a lot? No. This forum or FFS are a lot more influential for building templates.

    So granted there may be a significant diff between 2004 and now but definitely not from 2010. The only season that was a bit different was the one 3 years ago where they removed weighting factors and price changes were happening quicker. It actually favoured players like you. I remember you posted a huge team value in the second part of the season and were the only one to be able to afford all premium players without weakening your team elsewhere. I'm sure it'd have been the same had we known exactly about price changes. That season was actually maybe the one where the price predictions sites had it the most accurate. So again I don't see why you're so sure FPL running price changes would ruin your strategy

    FHFC even wrote a paper about the myths around price changes and taking hits (e.g. popular belief, even carried by dedicated FPL sites, that less hits is good/better).

    We'll probably have to agree to disagree on the matter but I think you're far over-exaggerating the consequences of such a "never going to happen anyway" change.

    Take the chance to get things back to how they were last season. We needs lot of Mick and some well chosen gifs that's what this thread is really about.

    Well considering I don't know what a gif is I'd imagine you'll be very disappointed.

    Out of curiosity, what are people's guesstimations over who will rise first out of Sterling & Costa? Sterling is currently ahead but Costa is being transferred in at a higher rate. I'm hoping to hold Sterling for his second rise of the gw and then transfer him out and use the funds to buy costa before he rises.

    (I'm aware costa has already risen 0.1, i foolishly missed the boat on that rise)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    How does one post a gif*? I've tried and failed a couple of times and couldn't find the answer elsewhere.











    * this does not necessarily mean I'll be up at 2.30 am posting Mick gifs.

    Go to "insert image" when you go to create a new post. A pop-up appears asking you to insert the url of your chosen image (this can be got by right-clicking on your chosen gif from google images or wherever and selecting "copy image location"). And that should be it!

    He's only on -15.1% (FPLstats) now.
    He may not go down again. It'll all depend on Friday night casual panick when they'll see his red flag.

    Surprised at ozil rising. Both fix and fplstats had him around 92% at 10pm.
    Valencia and foster were above the 100% mark but didn't move. Odd.

    Brought Ozil in last night just in case. I'm not taking chances on players I actually want in my team after my WC.

    He's been playing us the last 2 weeks or so !!! Every time I log in he's due to rise then the next day boom nothing !!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 855 ✭✭✭mectavba


    It's a strange one re Foster...I can't imagine many people using their transfers on goalkeepers since the start of the season other than on wildcards. There has been no surprises/injuries/suspensions at all on the goalkeeper front, so why waste a transfer/take a hit?

    I guess there must have been movement from people to Foster from the premium keepers to free up funds.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    off to bed if foster, sterling and costa could go up tonight that would be great.

    Suspect the latter 2 will along with Hazard. Foster is a bit of a rogue to date so anyones guess. Suspect the problem being that that's a mainly wildcard transfer in the week that's in it.

    Benteke rising was a disappointing surprise. Had him earmarked to come in once the Costa double rise came through. I'm still bringing him in but obviously that Costa .1 will be going on Benteke now.

    Was hoping Pieters would fall to 4.4 but never materialised. Going to go back to George Friend now.

    Sterling came off in the 60th min, I think it's unfair that FPL have given it as 59. He should get the extra point, maybe they'll change it later
