Love it.
Suits competitions of shorter duration. Would suck the fun out of FPL.

It's a 'No' for me.

I have really enjoyed it. Only once have I failed to get a good captain score this way.

I don't want to do it for a whole FPL season though.

Too many bites of the cherry is ultimately boring.

No thanks.

Novelty is ok for a brief tourney. Would NOT want to see it become part of FPL.

NOT
NOT
NOT

It's a no from me. Will mean there will be even more template captains and due to the schedules will mean a lot of players will end with the same players due to needing to have a top player to switch to.

Still a classic of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

For me I like the substitutions. Not overly keen on being able to change captain everyday and think you should only have one captain. It takes the judgement out the game.

I prefer FPL as it is.

It's a no from me. I believe you should set you team up at the start of a GW and that's it. Let teh auto subs and vice captains kick in if needed.

For me it takes the skill out of the game if you can start changing your team during the GW. Plus it would likely mean a lot more people end up with the same players as captain in the end.

@Jonty

Any news on "Ironman" relaunch maybe ?

Brilliant format. Really hope they do this in fpl and take away them chips that benefit the casuals imo. FPL would be immense and hopefully the extra effort needed in maintaining the team would put casuals off

A no from me too. I like the simplicity of FPL and if needed the lack of work involved

I'd hate to see captain changes In the FPL pre GW capitalism choices are a fundamental part of the game.
I like them in UFPL and uefa games but it suits that format with the no transfers and short tournaments

I doubt it matters what folk like us think. I'm sure the game developers will be more concerned with the masses than the addicts.

Despite the games popularity, that can be measured in the millions, the game has a problem in keeping all those millions engaged in the game for the duration of a season long campaign.

Any changes to the rules would surely be aimed at an attempt to keep folk engaged....possibly by the use of in game changes.

Yes I have.
Yes it does.
Yes I would.

I would also like to see a complete overhaul on the scoring matrix to make all players playable . It's ridiculous that some of the best players in the world, on their possition, aint worth picking.
Fpl is actually quite a horrible game, a small game for the fantasy coach but a big game when it comes to the number of participants. But my guess is that the number of participants are quite misleading. I have no idea about the real numbers, would like to know though, being active from start to end but I don't think there are no more then 20% out of those entering a team hanging in there through to the end.

Fits the Euro game, don't think I'd want it for FPL.

And while we're at it I don't like the chips either, except for WC and maybe BB.

Hi Jonty, do you know when is the Barclays fantasy football league website usually starts for the new season? I know they are jigging the website with a new design and it says it will be available this month but with just over a month until the season starts, are they perhaps be risking a similar high turn out to last year.

i do better in those type of games, but it will not be good for FPL overall

Yes

i've hated it, much prefer the FPL how it is

I wouldn't want to see it in fpl. It takes up too much time.

I like the mid GW changes in competitions like the Euros where there's a defined structure for which groups play on each day. This doesn't exist in the Premier League and would increase the random element of the game. In FPL it would be horrible, all transfer plans would be reduced to getting a good captain/sub option for the Sunday/Monday games.

I'm really worried this hot topic means it's happening in FPL. Would be an awful decision.
