    We fairly well know that City, Wolves and United have blank GW1 don't we? Without it I'd probably have KDB, Jimi and Doherty in my starting team. Gonna be a lot of tactical early wildcards I'd say.

    Antonio as a 6.5 striker is lovely, can see him being in my starting team.

    Trying to fit in midfielders is going to be the challenge this season so. Could be interesting but adding Rashford and auba as mids is odd.

    If United don’t land Sancho then Greenwood is going to be some value.

    Been tinkering with teams, this seems too easy. I have put together a number of teams I'm happy with that come in UNDER 100m

    Intersting addition to the T&C's
    12. Players can establish mini-leagues in accordance with the Game Rules. The Premier League does not permit Players charging for entry to mini-leagues they have created, strongly encourages Players not to join such leagues and cannot be held responsible for their management or any loss suffered through Players’ involvement in such leagues. The Premier League reserves the right to suspend and delete Registrations of Players that charge entry to mini-leagues they have created.

    Anyone gonna be starting pay leagues with that threat hanging over them?

    This topic really divides opinion but I'm not a fan of 90 mins over the 60 mins deadline.

    IMO, it favours casuals even more.

    Really hope it does stop it and the leaks just don't get brought forward.

    Presumably that was why they did it. Yet another move against the players who are really into the game.

    I would have. Some wouldn't. There would have been a debate to be had which is ehy it would have been the right price.

    At 8.0 you have maybe 5 or 10% of sane people not putting him in so still too low but at least some variety.

    At 7.5 you have no sane person not putting him in their team.

    So we all start with 14 players essentially. Pointless imo.

    Yeah. Hard to disagree with this.

    I was looking for a reason not to own him so I could go with my cheap defence and I hate owning players that bring zero joy when they score because of high ownership but 7.5m is too cheap and I’ll probably have to sign him.

    Still not sure on overall tactic for this season yet but unfortunately I think TAA will be in my team.

    Sheffield United sign Ramsdale from Bournemouth. I’m guessing he’ll be 5m? If so I think he’d be a nice set and forget.

    Edit: set “to sign” for them. Not confirmed yet. 18.5m deal.

    Martinez is still 4.5, will be a bargain if he retains his place. Saliba at 4.5 is surprising too.

    I don’t think we are worried about the casuals (and certainly not as the season goes on).

    It (the 1 hour deadline) favours people that live in and around GMT.

    There are plenty of serious players all over the world and the truth is it isn’t fair on them.

    I know I’m one and I would have preferred 2 hours before kickoff as I’m not sure the extra half hour truly kills the prospect of early team news being relevant.


    Rockstar was a bit of a cheat code last season and I hope this extra half hour nips it in the bud.

    Edit - I know this will be a unpopular opinion

    The extra half hour should kill it off, general consenous seemed to be that it leaked when it went to the stats guys like Opta a bit before hand, the half hour should be enough to stop it.

    I’d never heard of Saliba when I woke up this morning, yet he’s currently somehow in my team. Every lad on twitter seems to be raving about him

    Same way they would know if the winner eas sending racist messages in private I guess! If the winner is in some pay leagues this season would be a nervy couple of weeks to see if any "friends" screw them over. I'm guessing its really just FPL covering themselves although if it did emerge someone was in a pay league they would have to take notice. A lot of leagues are called something like boards €50 league it's hardly subtle!

    They aren't saying they will take action for entering paid leagues, it says they may suspend players who charge entry to leagues.

    A lot of fundraising or charity leagues that promote themselves as such are at most risk here, including myself.

    Good point. Would suck if someone who has used fpl to raise a load of money for charity ended up winning the whole thing then got kicked out for running a paid league. Tricky spot for people hosting fundraising leagues. If you made it "optional" to donate that would be your get out? You could even have one team in for free but who volunteer not to be eligible for prizes. Could get very messy.

    Decent thread on Aubameyang created 10 days ago on 'if he was a MID in FPL' and projected points.

    Might convince or discourage others going for Auba.

    Sincerely doubt they will be coming after anyone. Think where they’d be if there were no money leagues in the game.

    It’s probably a legal requirement to show they’re not complicit with gambling. Look at the Football Manager vs Man United case where United are suing them for people being able to download patches that include their crest.

    They probably don’t have to be directly facilitating gambling to be considered a facilitator of it.

    Agreed, but still makes it a bit iffy to advertise a fundraising league in a public forum or social media.

    We may have free league for members of our HarpsFPL supporters club though. Only €20 to join that supporters club too.

    I wouldn't be concerned by it, they'll just be covering themselves that they aren't endorsing paid league's. No benefit to them whatsoever in wasting time enforcing anything like that
