True. They nerf GK for what...

Changes targeted towards big sides and casuals so they can increase engagement, not even surprised

What was it before?

GKs where already kinda useless picks haha... oh well. If CSs will be like last season(almost non existing), a 5m+ GK will not be worth it at all.

The penalty save change is fine, making one previously meant you were guaranteed to be in the bonus points even in a heavy loss. I remember looking last season and I couldn't find a keeper who saved a penalty and didn't get in the bonus points.

Never been able to save one in the first place so no change for me

I like it

I like it a lot tbh. Being able to roll basically indefinitely gives us new options to target fixture swings more effectively.

We could more easily swing from triple Liverpool > triple City in one go for example.

My initial feel is it devalues the wildcards a fair bit.

I like it in theory but tbh can't think of the last time I had 2 FTs & no plans; would probably have been more useful in conjuction with some extra FTs. Personally I think 2 FTs per week is maybe a bit much although I would like a few more, ideally something like 60 FTs per season to be used at any time (and no chips)

I think it has two key strategic impacts:

1. It reduces the argument that you are forced to have Haaland / Salah because it’s hard to switch into them. It’s now easier to switch strategies.

2. It increases the value of a playing bench to navigate short term injuries or fixtures swings for your preferred 11 to help store up transfers.

Think in 10 years I've only been in a position where I have burned a transfer once and have rarely been in a position where I would have saved for a third 3FT, So unless I drastically change my style of play I don't think it will make a great deal of difference to me, casuals however who were burning transfers through inactivity could benefit big time for this.

Saving 5 FT's will require a fair bit of luck and a lot of patience.

Depending on your playing style, I genuinely think it could hinder some people, especially cautious players who get preoccupied with saving transfers.

I doubt I'll save more than 3 FT's the entire season...

You say that now - it won’t play out like that. But yes hits become more indicative of under preparation - or rough luck with injuries

That's how I'm interpreting this, if you have a smooth start then you'll constantly have a big safety net of transfers

Oh u already said it

Will any serious player be able to resist making an FT in the first for 4 GWs ? If they did they would probable need to use them to get in players that they have missed out on by saving FTs at a higher price.

It is if you forget the deadline 4GWs in a row. *points to side of the head GIF*

You may also lose some TV to those who do more frequent transfers so there’s an additional trade off

it might be easier than you think . you have to consider theres people who could be making transfers after 2 gwks just for the sake of it because they know they cant bank another ft. well now they can.

Other way around really - City and Liverpool have Ipswich in GW1 & 2

Nooo. It's good

Or people can move to the template without massive hits.

I fear a downside is actually it will create a stronger template. Less chance of people locking themselves out of a template because of their budget distribution. More flexibility to move to the template quicker.

Wouldn't suprise me

What if its all out defence. You can pick 7 defenders for one game

This. Saving ft is for casuals

I have a feeling that saving 5 FT's will be treated like a badge of honour around these parts.

Abou?

Need both really

I feel like the mystery chip effect will persist s Ross multiple gameweeks. They want people to engage with the second half of the season more. Having a new chip that works just one week won’t change that.

or remove all fpl content from twitter for one gw

Good point.

Love the 5 FT idea, can plan for blocks of 5 weeks then have mini wildcards to keep it fresh & try and get away/ahead of the pack.

Will suit aggressive play, flipping premiums based on fixs will be very easy.

excellent post

This. You get it. FanTeam has certainly made me appreciate the ability to roll more FTs.

Nailed it

Well said

I think it’s the opposite. Saving transfers is super powerful - having a playing bench helps you do that.

Don't think so

I think yes to manage 5 weeks with carrying max transfers

No

1

Yes

From my understanding you get to keep transfers you've already built up. So as you'd have no transfers built up due to chips you'll only have 1 ft for gw3

One by the sounds of it

(quote from website) let's say you have four free transfers saved ahead of Gameweek 29 but decide to activate the Free Hit instead. You will, under the new rules, still have four free transfers for Gameweek 30, when your original squad is returned to you.

I assume WC would work the same.

thanks all

The way managers are so "risk averse" now, these legends probably wouldn't even have 20 goals to their name if they came through now.

Non member ticker work as good as it.

Yes. Sink first then emerge

Usually yes - for about 1 to 2 hours

Unlimited (to attack a DGW), or a replace players without a fixture in a blank GW would be top of my list. Injury crises (replace flagged players) is another option I'd welcome.

all 11 players same position chip,goalies,def or m/f or forwards would be fun for 1 gw unlimited funds of course
