| Anyone for a FPL league? Would need 10 committed to bother starting it, if we get to 20 i might make it head to head?
Any takers? | |

| I'd be up for it - you might have nobody else reading though Caprea, they're all turning on one another on the new manager thread | |

| I'd be on for it as well Caprea - as long as we wouldn't get banned from the forum for following "foreign" games... Thanks! | |

| I will make a serious burst and then get deflated when my hunch on Haller fro West Ham goes to shite. I'll probably call in Davy Burke/ Glenn/ Jacko as a triple-threat management ticket to keep the fans happy. | |

| That's seven. No doubt we'd get a handful more to make it a bit of fun. | |

| Ok, looks good numbers wise. I’ll start a league and post the code here. Before I do we are happy to go classic league or we prefer a H2H?
I guess classic for me as H2H limits numbers to 20 and only works best when there are close to 20.
My team name is Sexy Boffins. It’s probably best if we can link a team name to a poster.
Any other suggestions on anything then throw them out. | |

I think a classic league is the only way to go. Head-to-head leagues are very random and you need the right number for it to work. | |

| I’ve decided to employ Dougal’s policy of bringing the travel scrabble and normal scrabble so I’ve gone with 2 leagues: one H2H and one classic.
Classic code - 16kwrr
H2H code - 4nt2mr (limited to 16, max limit is 16 not 20) makes no sense to me but anyway) | |

You’d have to pick a team and enter it and then you can sign up to our leagues using the codes.
If unsure consult a YouTube tutorial and that will probably guide you through step by step. | |

| Nice one. As I say, little point in doing it as I will sweep it but competition for second should keep it interesting. | |

| Some tips for the unintitated below
Buy a first “11”. These are the players that normally cost the most.
What formation are you going to play? Most Managers choose 3-5-2 or 3-4-3. Usually you can get away with buying one or two cheap defenders. Last year was different with Liverpool and Manchester City full backs scoring points for assists and clean sheets. Some Managers are now going 5-4-1. Check who is going to play. Liverpool have no obvious understudy for Andy Robertson, he will play most if not all league games. TAA on the other hand has Joe Gomez to compete with. Always look at the promoted teams more closely. They tend to be better value. We like the look of McGinn of Villa, a winger available for £5.5m as an example. Promoted Norwich have good attacking full backs, so some cheap defenders from there may be useful. We like Max Aarons at £4.5m. Read up on injuries/late returns for players. With Aguero just back at City, a midfielder – Sterling is likely to play as a centre forward away to West Ham in GW1. Look at the set piece takers in each club. Palace’s Milivojevic is their penalty taker and a consistent point scorer as a result.
Goalkeepers: Buy one goalkeeper who will play every week (Ederson at City for example) and a cheap second keeper that plays as well. Pope from Burnley will play and is only £4.5m. Sometimes goalkeepers in the lower ranked clubs are best as they rack up points making more saves. The aforementioned Pope was the prime example the season before last with 152 points.
Defenders: Look for teams that keep clean sheets. City and Liverpool led the way last year. Attacking full backs are normally the best, they can score goals, get assists. Mendy, Alonso, TAA, Robertson… Do any of the defenders take penalties, corners? TAA takes corners and some free kicks. More chances to score you points. Look at their Manager. Pep’s sides normally keep clean sheets but their players are priced accordingly.
Are their cheaper options? Is a player listed as a defender who is playing in midfield? They are more likely to score points – Fabian Delph listed as a defender, is likely to play in midfield for Everton. Most Fantasy Managers use 3 defenders, so make sure you buy ones’ playing regularly.
Midfielders: Attacking midfielders are the best. Chelsea’s Kante is a strong holding midfielder, but he won’t score many points. The bigger clubs rotate their stars more. Will Jesus start many games for Man. City? Look at the certainties to start – for example Salah at Liverpool. We look to buy 4 strong midfielders and have one cheap one as a squad player. Look for value, we see Ward Prowse at Southampton at £6m as a strong squad player. Ideally buy set piece specialists as discussed. Sigurdsson of Everton at £8m is one option, as is Ward Prowse indeed. Look for midfielders who may be coming back to form. Kevin de Bruyne from City is back to full fitness as an example.
Strikers: Kane is as close a “banker” as you can buy each season, last year he was priced very highly at £12.5m, this year £11m. He is however always a good choice for captain. Look to buy a striker who takes their team penalties if possible (see Kane above!). Look to buy someone who will always play like Rashford or Lacazette. harry-kane-spurs
Tips for picking your winning team!
Filter by “% of players picked” to see who the most popular picked players are. A good shortcut to identify point scoring players! You have two wildcards to play, one after the season starts and one in January, so you can change things around if needed. Avoid using the “Free Hit”, “Bench Boost” and “Triple Captain” tags until you have a double GW. These double GWs normally come towards the end of the season. Watch Match of the Day, best way of scouting new talent! You’ll see who is taking the corners, free kicks, playing well etc. Look at the run of fixtures the player has before buying them. For example, both City and Liverpool have a good run of starting fixtures. Will their players score many points as a result? Avoid relying solely on using the top point scorers drop down menu from last season. You won’t find your Kevin de Bruyne, Nathan Redmond or Oxlade Chamberlain using this method alone. Choose your captain carefully. Take into account the fixture they are playing and assess all your team before choosing your captain. Who is newly acquired this year? Value can be found in other players such as Perez of Leicester for £6.5m. He is a goalscorer who will now be guaranteed to start. The bonus is he is classified as a midfielder even though he plays as a striker.
