    Big doubt about Jota and Grealish's minutes for double but stuck with them anyway

        Mahrez and Foden could take turns on the right.

    Hi all - has anyone else had issues with their FPL team changing last minute without you making any changes?!

    I took a screenshot of my team at 10:57 having saved etc and at 10:59 I logged in to find Salah and Jota on my bench (for Schar and Castagne…) which was not me! It has now saved it this way and I didn’t make that change

    Exactly the same thing happened last week also where my team changed after I had saved it and I don’t know what the issue is - any ideas what I can do because it’s ruining the game

      Do you have an iPhone and share the same Apple ID with someone in your mini league? I do, and when I sign in I can select myself or my son as our login name and password have been auto saved. If this is the case, you should remove your login details via iPhone password settings, change your password and don’t have auto login selected. I did raise this issue with FPL last year and they said the solution was for us to have different Apple IDs. Luckily I trust my son not to mess with my team!

      Only issue I see is that the DGW36 fixtures have a substantial rest period in between: Sat 13:30 - Thurs 20:00. The gap between BHA & Leicester is shorter. So it might be BHA/LEI that see both used, rather than lee/BHA?

      Only been playing 4 years probably as I always played the Yahoo game (more friends played it). I remember when Bale was 2.7m, and ended up on the season as sell price 2.7m and buy price of 11m. Prices were done on points scored, not ownership, and you could make 15 transfers a week. Still planning involved but not as much as FPL, but you didnt wan to lose value on players, which made players out for 4 weeks harder to decide.
