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!

When was the start?
I started in 06/07 season.
Santa Cruz was an exceptional player when he arrived to Blackburn, can't recall his FPL cost.

I think it was two seasons before records began. There was cyki before that FPL pretty much just used their code think the only change they made was 1ft per week.

7 to 7.5 mil I think. Bellamy had a great season at Blackburn too and was only 7 mil. Blackburn were actually good for the mid priced lads that did well over the year - Friedel, Warnock, Samba, Bentley, MGP, McCarthy, Santa Cruz, Bellamy and Yakubu.

Steve Watson scored a hattrick and kept a clean sheet when listed as a defender (original oop!) in one of the early seasons no bonus back then but even if he had only got 2 points every other match he would have been good value for the season!

If you got your timing right with the Yak he was always unreal value. I remember taking a hit for him a few years back when he went and scored four it's the only transfer I'll ever remember making!

Dixie Dean was a snip back in the day

I wouldn't have minded doubling up on the Princes Park attack while Kevin "mighty" Mouse and Hot Shot Hamish Balfour were lining out for them either:P

Yeh was a very different game back then no captains etc. Even then he used to have a 9ppg and people think Suarez was impressive pfff got nothing on Dixie.

I dunno, wasn't the age profile here a bit older than was suspected (or was it the other way around

)
Anyway it was the Dixie Dean thing that got me, he was a grand player no doubt but he was no Dead Shot Keen.;)

It took me a long time to get over that terrorist attack on Roy race and his melchester rovers team.

After GW 2 I was ranked 258k overall, by GW 12 I had plunged to 1.2 million but finally after GW 27 I've managed to get back to my GW 2 rank. At 244k now. If I get inside the top 100k it'll be a good season!!

That was 2 months ago...look at it now!! My best ever finish is 42k overall so its looking like my best season in FF.

wow two top 1k GW ranks in 3 weeks nice!! You should still be able to make up a bit of ground these next two weeks Top 25k maybe with a bit of luck even top 20k!

the incredible pudding · 15-05-2015 07:13PM

Is there anyway to undo transfers where you accidently click out the wrong player?
I just meant to trade out fabregas for cazorla but accidently got rid of sanchez instead (stupid i know). Do you think emailing them they might undo it or is that expecting far too much?
As it is i'd be paying 4 points for a very pointless f**k up.

"Can I cancel my transfers?
No. Once you have confirmed your transfers, they are final and can’t be reversed under any circumstances."

well i deserve that, if i lose my lead in the pay league i'm in I'll probably laugh a lot and then flavor a big pint of whisky with my bitter, bitter tears.

I emailed them just there just in case they have some pity on me. I don't think they'd want to allow for any exceptions though, would be a nightmare for them.

Hull are definitely fooked. As if morale wasn't poor enough, Jake Livermore has tested positive for cocaine in a random drug test.

on seeing this i was definitely tempted to give Kane the armband - the only thing though is Spurs might not be too keen on winning!! - ie. do they actually WANT europa league qualification?

PARlance · 16-05-2015 08:03AM

It's like Christmas morning and the morning of an exam all wrapped up into one. Equal measures of fear and excitement... The regret that I could have done more mixed in with the hope that I've been a good boy.

A slender lead, can't wait to open the presents but I'm exposed to a good dgw from Santi.

Invincible · 16-05-2015 11:57PM

Headline on one of tomorrow's papers, Chelsea in for Yaya. Can't imagine City selling to them.

Here looks like one of their put a load of names and teams in a hat pull two out and write a story about it jobbys. If he doesn't move abroad i'd be stunned. Would probably be a good fit for Chelsea though.

Saw this on the FPL reddit and thought it was worth posting here:

What have you learned from this season that you will try to remember next season?

Don't drink and play:D

One thing I have to say is that if you start the season really, really well, it is much easier to have a good finish.

Chasing points makes you make strange decisions (mistakes) and these rarely work.

There is one guy I follow, and it is impressive - let's have a screenshot if you don't mind:

jimmii · 18-05-2015 12:10AM

That is a ridiculous season! I can't believe anyone has ever gone through the season with a highest rank if 2007 before. 1 week outside the top 1k wtf who does that.

The funny part is he didn't have too many impressive weeks. Just kept going.
Weekly OR rankings are really good, but his 103 points last week (3513 OR) brought him up 5 places "only".

When you are that high, there is not much movement.

http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/740062/history/

I only found him because the comentators on the tv mentioned his position during the game

Pro tennis player btw.

Fair play to him sticking with the tennis must be tough at that end of things highest ranking 317!

The 1m rank this week only knocked him down 1 place too funny old game!!

He's in FFS, TFPL and FFFix leagues obviously takes a big interest in it.

He's fairly hammering Colin Flemming (British No.3) in their league!

Surprised Flemming doesn't lead us to an Andy Murray league. Maybe Murray has quit FPL now.
