And make the game a snoozefest?

Why does the patient manager have to be rewarded? Being patient is as legit a strategy as being aggressive?

Great idea it would defiantly put some much needed brakes on the market

As someone who regularly takes hits (that only pay off sometimes) I think the reward ought to be the other way round 🙂

All that means is Ville Ronka would get free transfers.

I knew TorresMagic would be dead against market brakes he is the Gordon Gekko of the fpl world he loves the market
There is a stock market day trader lost in him 🙂

Strongly disagree.

It's a style of management, being patient. You wait for team news, protect yourself against any potential injuries in midweek games, also taking some time to think about your moves. Each style of play has its pros and cons. Can't reward a type of management over the other, rather folk should look to balance it out and go out of their way to adapt to the external factors of the game

I would suggest a -6 for every hit made. This season has seen so many double digit hauls every week and players are not hesistant to loose -4 or -8 for the next.

A -6 will put a brake on volatile price changes among the defenders and may be even the forwards.

I am not of the opinion that aggressive style of play is unskilled. But the way the game is set up, its forcing everyone to be aggressive, especially this season. Balance is what we need.

The game is about picking the "right" players and having a bit of luck. The rest is just smoke and mirrors.

I agree that this season suits the more aggressive player.

Some patience managers are suffering as they do not seem to have the ability to change style, or believe that ultimately their passive styles will win through. Or some do try and change their style, and fail miserably as it is unnatural.

Every season is different and as an FPL manager, we have to discover what the secrets are as we play.

However, perhaps the simple answer would be to increase the thresholds to which the price changes occur. I am sure FPL towers will review the seasons transfer activity and price changes and make the necessary tweaks next season. In my view giving extra FTs, as per the original suggestion from Ryan, is a bit gimmicky. However, I thought the same about the 3 additional chips too.

Sounds like a really bad idea why not just make 8 transfers and save 2 for yourself

So that's like suggesting that pep should be rewarded from the epl with extra funds in January because he plays attacking football and that's the right style

This is just getting ridiculous now. The whole idea of being a manager is that you play with your unique style.
Klopp is so different to Pulis and I'm glad they are, both do it their way and get fulfilment in their own style.
A good manager needs to accept diversity, you too Ryan may have to as well

The game is what it is. We all play by the same rules. I like your tactic of an aggressive first half of the season and a more Ronkaesque second half for example. That's a good example of taking advantage of the games strengths and weaknesses.

Only problem i see with FPL is chips. Everything else is fairly well balanced.

I agree. I'm doing well in my ML so I don't mind taking hits. Feel sorry for the sods downs the bottom starting with - 8 every week.

1) it could be like earning an extra Transfer if you top it
2) -4 for an hit seems right

Depends on what kind of game we want it to be. Should patience be rewarded? Or should aggressive risk taking be rewarded? Or something else? I think the current system works well, there are examples of successful patient and aggressive styles. -6 would be huge and I doubt anyone could get to the top by consistently taking them. -5 could be good, an extra incentive to hold.

This could work it would definitely make me think twice before taking a hit

Wakey will not like this 🙂

I still think it's better to think outside the box. I would prefer more polar opposite strategies rather than everyone meeting somewhere in the middle
