He’s on my watch list. Also no World Cup for him so should be fresh

Siggy
Lovely fixtures
Hopefully a price drop to around the magic 7.5ml mark

Well rested after Iceland’s early exit

Get in my team

Would agree, think Kane will be flying it at the start of the PL season if England make the SF onwards. In saying that I expect Colombia to put them out in the next round. I actually have a sneaky feeling the dogged Swedes will make the SF and possibly final. You heard it here first!

Be wary of throwing Kane in at the start if england go far. Also he doesn’t score in August lol...

I think it could be the opposite. I reckon the further England go in the World Cup the more likely it is for Kane to score in August.

He clearly takes his time in getting up to speed after the summer break, but with no real break in this summer compared to others, he could already be up to speed come the start of the season.

Of course, come the end of the season he could become more fatigued, but that's the case with most of the World Cup players that will play in the latter stages.

Has there much more chatter about the likes of Salah being classified as a forward next season? I only ask as everytime I listened to the English media during the world cup, they spoke of him as if he was a centre forward, which obviously he's not. It would turn the game upside down if they start classing wide forwards or high wingers as forward options in the game. Especially if Salah became one while others weren't reclassified.

The start dates since 2006 are available on Fiso.

Any idea what date the site will go live this year ?

A few days either side of the World Cup final I reckon. So anywhere between 13-17 July I'd say.

For real though you're looking at the 15th of July kinda ball park.

As promised, here's the latest headwrecker/squad planning sheet.

I've put a column in for player value - at the minute this will be manual but I'll have a look at automating something if I get time and, more importantly, access to a player database.

I've added the European games as well which might be useful I think - not 100% sure if I've got them in between the right gameweeks so let me know if there's anything incorrect and I'll update.

Just to note as well - as with the previous sheet, the 3 letter team name (ARS, CHE etc) is the main driver for the formulas so player name isn't critical at the minute so you can fire away with KDB, Bavies etc. This might change if I manage to get my hands on the pricing information.

You're a real life Moneyballer!? I'm actually a statistician myself in a very different sector but thought it was worth giving the heads up on here, might be a few interested. These are obviously data collection roles, not really analysis roles.

A data collection agent does nothing that would make you a better fantasy football player, just an fyi

If someone can point me towards an Excel version of the fixtures I can have a go at creating a squad planner like the infamous/amazing/horrifying one I did for DGW planning towards the end of last season.

Have changed jobs recently so slightly less time for faffing about with FPL :-)

Am on a month of nights, not making any promises though.
