I think so. The last few years its been a day or two either side of a month before the season starts. My guess is Monday or Tuesday give themselves time to give it one last look over make sure its good to go.

Really looking forward to this season was a regular 1m+ plus finisher and had 2 solid seasons of progress 600k and 120k mostly due to this forum and using fantasy football scout and tracking Dinnery.

Last season went pear shaped fell back to 350k hope to break into top 50 k this year and I would be happy oh and promotion from league 1 !

Not saying we'll all do it and it's a great achievement for anyone to do it but I honestly think that all of us on this forum should set high targets for ourselves. I think you are probably well able for a top 10k finish with a little luck, that should be your target. Don't settle for 50k.

Make sensible plays and go with the crowd and you should be able to get top 50k most seasons aim for top 20k then you just need a touch of luck and you have a four digit rank. To get a decent rank you really just need to be very boring captain auguero/hazard and don't take hits then you can't go far wrong!

NoviGlitzko · 04-07-2015 04:24PM

Finished 5k myself last year after floating around 50-80k for 5 years. Anythings possible!

That is most peoples down fall. Too many transfers and trying to be too clever with the captaincy. It looks great when you captain Bolasie and he scores a brace away and Aguero blanks at home but you can't go ignore the vast majority of weeks when you just get lots of deuces while everyone else is reveling in another Aguero haul!

You can now re-register for FPl on the site and last years stuff though still. What does that mean?

Who knows could even be this evening.

The player list should update first and then the site open a few hours later

alchemist33 · 06-07-2015 03:55PM

It'll be like a scene from Mad Max here when the site opens. Engines revving, charging across the desert shooting at each other, flames flying from Mr Prodston's guitar...

Is that your official FPL Launch outfit? You're taller than I'd have imagined.

Yes, re-registration is usually followed by the site itself being taken down and re-opening a few hours later, so if not tonight, then early tomorrow. Must pay more attention to the thread this year, browsed here and FFS and finished roughly 350k, so hopefully the tips here will see me halve that ranking!

Super-impose Mickey T's head on it and i think we have it

Tomagotchye · 06-07-2015 04:18PM

Near broke ky heart with it last year at times but looking forward to it this year. Hopefully I'll unearth a gem early on and set a flying pace. Must not let bias cloud my judgement this time

GLaDOS · 06-07-2015 04:26PM

I'm gonna be away with limited internet access for most of August, will make the first month interesting!

Lemlin · 06-07-2015 04:28PM

I was going to pull back from this a bit this year but now I'm looking at a new job with a long bus commute so it appears it won't be happening!

If anything, I'll have extra time this year. That said, I am away just after it initially kicks off in August for ten days.

Don't settle for half! Listen to the advice here and make the sensible moves and you should be looking at a top 50k finish and a bit of luck you'll be putting that top 20k in danger. Doing well in FPL is mainly about being very boring. Never miss a deadline, never forget to change your captain to the most obvious pick and never take a hit for the craic and you'll be doing better than 98% of managers.

can't remember do we have to go through that re-registration phase or just log in as last season once it's up and running?

Log in and it will take your through the reg process. That part of things is live now. It only leads you back to the page you got when you logged in before the maintenance but still. At least things are moving along!

Swiper the fox · 06-07-2015 04:58PM

Do you get a nice low ID number if you log in early or are they random?
