      Yes. In 2020 it launched on a Saturday.
      But this year they've already announced that there may also be an exclusive reveal of a player or two on Tuesday for those who have signed up for Fantasy notifications through the Premier League app and that Premier League account users opted in to Fantasy emails will get a wrap of all price reveals from 16:00 BST on Tuesday.

      Glad he’s back for a bit of depth but he’s got an EA FC 24 rating of 81. It’s a position we need to improve on regardless.

    Just can’t leave Haaland out because of IPS (H) in GW2.

      he is always going to have a nice fixture every other game pretty much.

        Only home fixtures are good for him. He will be my C gw2, Salah is the one to drop imo. Going without gimninbthe start of last season didn't hurt me, but having him in spring did cost some points.

      I think there is merit in going without Haaland as is just too expensive for me. Could have 2 of Isak/Solanke/Watkins/Toney and a 4.5m forward allowing for a power 5 midfield of goalscorers. Don't know how anyone will fit in Salah/Foden/Son/Saka/Gordon/Palmer etc if they start with Haaland

        Well you don’t need to fit them all in. But you can still get Haaland and a good squad cos most players are underpriced.

      gonna trust my gut on captaincy week to week, Haaland's price has finally allowed for that to be an option

        Same. IDK if I just got lucky near the end of last season, but all of my cap picks in the final 10 weeks or so were very good. Coincidentally, it was when I started going with my gut.

  5. have you seen cyan

    Draft complete guys, no more tinkering needed:

    Leno
    TAA - Schar - 2 x4.5 rotations (palace and everton)
    Salah - Palmer - Gordon - Bailey - Rice/Gibbs-White
    Watkins - Isak

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years

      Actually shove Foden in, I think it cab afford him instead of Rice or Gibbs-White. This will be close to the template for no Haaland teams after people tinkered with it 5,000 times lol.

      1. I Member

        Definitely can't afford Foden in there.

          I don't think it will be too far off if all other subs are 4.0 aside from the rotating defenders. Have they released Foden's price?

          1. I Member
            • 9 Years

            Palmer is 10.5 so Foden will be similar.

              Hoping for 9mil. Palmer got pens and is very nailed. 9 or 9.5.

                Foden scored big thanks to De Bruyne out injured for most of last season. Even at £8m Foden not worth it!

                  I think KDB is leaving. Imagine Foden playing central AM all season...

              Foden might be only 10. Saka has pens and he can't be anything else than 10 or 10.5 imo.

      I think it’ll be something around the ability to adjust team / make transfers during a GW (post “deadline”) but only to and from players who haven’t played yet.

      That would certainly make swapping around premiums a lot easier, they'd probably need to take away one or both wildcards though so as not to make the game too easy

      Great news if true. 2FTs is what I've missed most since moving across from the old Metro FF to FPL about 10 years ago. It gave you so much more scope to play the fixtures.

        Not everyone wants the game put on a plate for them. If it makes it easier to play the fixtures so how is that making the game more competitive? Unless you are one of them who want all the best players for the best fixtures of course.?

      Interesting, I could see that - works for the casual player, more clicks, more opportunities for me to wreck my rank by shuffling Haaland in/out...

      No one will come after you for posting speculation that's clearly framed as such. It's not the same as saying I've got leaks ask me anything without any credibility for it

        Thanks Andy as always

        Trying to work out things once new information released, really enjoy the FPL which keeps me going during the week.

        After all these years still tying to learn how to improve with start of season as always behind the '8 ball
        in the opening weeks.

        Noticed in particular template teams so similar & how top FPL managers picked early doors with the current pricing
        hard to catch-up, hoping they look to make it hard to have the similar template teams.

        A bad habit of mind is not holding onto FT
        Any top tips to break into the top 100,000 & better?

          "Noticed in particular template teams so similar & how top FPL managers picked early doors with the current pricing"

          No tips from me - I'm hopeless. But I am hoping the prices this year will prevent boring template teams. If Palmer's price is replicated by the likes of Saka, Son, Foden, and De Bruyne in addition to Salah and Haaland, there will be more varied and tougher choices to be made.

      There's not all that many options really.... don't see Man Utd signing anothe striker in addition to Zirkzee. Arsenal would be annoying FPL-wise & kill Kai as an option. Chelsea... might work, or Spurs could be good. Not sure if Liverpool could be an option if Darwin gets an epic ban..?

        I think the teams in FFP trouble have been selling each other home-grown players from their Academies, since they cost them nothing and count as pure profit.
        I also think that there's nothing fair about FFP and that it penalises the wrong clubs.

        1. Not again Shirley
          • 8 Years

          I agree that FFP indeed does favour the bigger teams with more money. As an example, Blackburn Rovers would never have won the Premier League under FFP rules as they don’t generate sufficient revenue to be able to spend the money they did. Yes they did kind of buy the league but that’s not really much different to what all the top clubs do year on year by buying all the best players.

    Are there more prices coming today, or not on the weekend?

      I doubt it. Thought they might have done 5 teams yesterday, 5 Sat, 5 Sun and 5 Mon and then Tues afternoon for the special reveals from the app etc. but as they've done 7 yesterday I imagine another 7 on Monday, the remaining 6 on Tuesday and then the special reveals at 4/5pm on Tues and the game launches Wednesday...

    Top of my wish list is if a player is marked red, you can replace that player with a free transfer.

    Injuries kill the game when you only have one transfer to use each week. The 2 free transfers that have been mooted would help with that issue too. Having a team of red players just makes you want to walk away from it. If I could replace them without being punished with minus points it would keep me engaged.

      Heh, utterly destroyed my season last time. I was in the Top 5K when i had a massive injury crisis, played my WC and picked up a swathe of new injuries. Went into a tailspin from there. Just one of those things.

    The Haaland pricing makes me think of Moneyball when they look to replace Giambi: "he gets on base."

    You can't replace Haaland like-for-like, but you can replace the numbers effectively.

    Going to be interesting to see some differentiation.
