Final tickets remain for Friday's Fantasy Football Fest

Fantasy Football Fest will take place on Friday 16 August 2024. Starting in the traditional 15:00 slot, this event will carry on into the night.

It all takes place at Vauxhall Beer & Food Garden, located right by Vauxhall train station and very easy to get to.

This amazing new venue allows Fest ’24 to be the biggest and best yet. There’ll be a roundtable Q&A with some notable Fantasy luminaries, a comedy set, plus some competitions and games. All alongside a selection of food and drinks – one of which is free, thanks to Sleeper.

Of course, the main event will be the first FPL deadline of 2024/25 taking place at 18:30. Everyone can then unwind by watching Manchester United v Fulham on a big screen from 20:00.

You’ll be in the same place as big characters from the community like Mark Sutherns, Az Phillips, FPL Family and FPL Harry. Why not come and meet them?

We encourage mini-leagues to come along and kick off their season together, just like we encourage people to come alone. Fest has always been a very welcoming and inclusive event for all managers – even if your FPL team is rubbish!

    I don’t get the lack of love for Onana - they are defensively minded and he was one of the top performing keeper second half of last season. What am I missing?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      Prefer pope or Pickford for same price

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      he is .5 more expensive than a 5.4 plus the fixtures are a bit mixed - e.g. Liverpool GW3 could be bad

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 months, 24 days ago

        *4.5

    3. Hutchiniho
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      Maybe when the new signings settled.
      End of last season didn't see a CS for months

    4. Bob B
      • 11 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      His stats are good and he makes lots of saves but they won't be rewarded as well this season. I personally prefer Pope and Pickford ahead of Onana though.

    5. Pumpkinhead
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      I still don't trust Man United. I know they are 'improved' but just not for me until I see that form stick over the course of the season.

    RP - Oscar Bobb has fractured a bone in his leg and set for prolonged spell on the sidelines. Yet to be fully assessed.

  6. S.Kuqi
    • 12 Years
    6 months, 24 days ago

    Anyone else starting with Esr/Minteh rotation? Feels so wrong. Probably first season in 16 years I have spent more than 4.5 for 8th attacker at the start.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      I'd play esr every week

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 12 Years
        6 months, 24 days ago

        Yeah. Feels wrong to bench such a quality player. That 1.0M saved would do a lot for my defence

    2. Chris_l25
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      Yep I am, I have Mbuemo too so I'm planning to play both of them when he has his tough Liverpool and city fixtures

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 12 Years
        6 months, 24 days ago

        Mbuemo is great shout. Havent’t seen him in many drafts

        1. Chris_l25
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 24 days ago

          Yeah I've got a good feeling about him. Palace and Southampton at home in the first 3. Liverpool and City away in first 5, but will play ESR and Minteh in those two games

  7. Bob B
    • 11 Years

    Raya
    TAA Quansah Hall Barco
    Saka Jota Eze Murphy
    Isak Havertz

    (Vicario Porro Son Solanke)

    Keep Vicario as 4th Spurs player on a bench boost or move to Henderson and upgrade a position by 0.5?

  8. wakenbagel
    • 3 Years

    I caught up with my friend from high school, he is a physio and takes on Dutch clients and he told me he was working with Kenny Tete of Fulham this pre-season and was with the team during the camp in Portugal. Wanted share some info I got from him since every bit of info helps at the beginning of the season since we have so little to go on.

    He said that Tete was confident that he will start against Manchester United and during the pre season he was ahead of Castagne. This could be due to Castagne participating in the Euros or wishful thinking by Tete. Don't forget Castagne can also play leftback so Robinson might be in danger to but it's a long shot imo.

    Leno is coming to the season in form. Makes me feel confident going for a Fulham defender (Probably Robinson)

    Iwobi the focal point of the attack but we don't usually see this transferred to FPL points and there was no Smith Rowe most of the pre season.

    Adama also comes to the season in form. Might need to monitor a while before he comes into the thinking. He is 0.5 cheaper than other Fulham attackers at 5.5m which could allow funds saved.

    He also said that Fulham as a team looked sharp and might push for a top half finish but imo I find that difficult with Palhinha gone and strenght of other teams that might push for similar place finish.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      Great stuff cheers. Any pals of physios for the other 19 teams ??

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      Careful, a previous poster was friends with the Vardy's and was asked to stop sharing. Dont stretch your friendship

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 13 Years
        6 months, 24 days ago

        Especially not for Tete news

      2. wakenbagel
        • 3 Years
        6 months, 24 days ago

        thanks for the heads up. doubt it will turn out like that he would've told me not to share or not told me at all if that was the case.

  9. Zero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Is there a way for the new members area or the app to show per 90 stats?

    Seems to keep showing totals, which is not massively helpful.

  10. HAMMERTIME107
    • 6 Years
    6 months, 24 days ago

    Think I’m finally set

    Any opinions welcome please?

    Raya
    Porro | Quansah | Gvardiol
    Son | Gordon | Smith-Rowe | Jota
    Haaland | Havertz | Isak

    Depending how form is potentially do Isak to Watkins and Son to Palmer a few game weeks in!

    1. Chris_l25
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      Looks really strong. I'm assuming the bench is bargain basement?

      1. HAMMERTIME107
        • 6 Years
        6 months, 24 days ago

        Yeah

        Turner | Barco | Winks | Harwood-Bellis

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam

      V nice!

    Oscar Bobb injured, solves a problem.

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      Wasn't an option for me. Don't think he'll get enough starts anyway.

  12. Sterling Effort
    • 1 Year
    6 months, 24 days ago

    Fabio Carvalho was always the best 5.0 midfielder anyway 😉

  13. Hutchiniho
    • 6 Years
    6 months, 24 days ago

    Which of these?
    Saliba, Eze
    or
    Munoz, Saka

  14. Pumpkinhead
    • 10 Years
    6 months, 24 days ago

    Are there any 4.5/5.0 forwards who have the chance of getting regular minutes?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 12 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      Jebbison probably starts upfront for Bournemouth

      1. Pumpkinhead
        • 10 Years
        6 months, 24 days ago

        Is Semenyo a threat? I know he typically played outwide/in behind Solanke.

      2. Pumpkinhead
        • 10 Years
        6 months, 24 days ago

        I don't see me needing this player often as I have a 4.5 defender + Barco ahead of them but still nice to have minutes on the bench just in case.

      3. Wild Rover
        • 14 Years
        6 months, 24 days ago

        Looks like he’s going out on loan

        1. Pumpkinhead
          • 10 Years
          6 months, 24 days ago

          This might work for me actually. Save me from the price drop 🙂

        2. Ginkapo FPL
          • 13 Years
          6 months, 24 days ago

          Before or after scoring a goal in GW1 and double rising is the question

      4. Runnerboy31
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        6 months, 24 days ago

        Nah Jebbison won’t start, in fact very strong rumours he goes out on loan

    2. Sterling Effort
      • 1 Year
      6 months, 24 days ago

      Unlikely any of them do.

      Guiu could be an option in the extremely short term, but doubt he starts more than maybe the first couple.

      Cannon will probably come off the bench in every game

      1. Pumpkinhead
        • 10 Years
        6 months, 24 days ago

        Cheers

    3. Herman Toothrot

  16. Vasshin
    • 6 Years
    6 months, 24 days ago

    Who are the two best 4.0 defenders to sit on bench and come from bench just in case anyone doesn’t start from starting 11
    Barco, Johnson, Harwood, Faes

    1. Sterling Effort
      • 1 Year
      6 months, 24 days ago

      Barco the best but may mean a transfer which I personally want to avoid.

      I’m on Harwood and Johnson (think Leicester will finish bottom comfortably)

  17. Hutchiniho
    • 6 Years
    6 months, 24 days ago

    Which of these?
    Saliba, Eze
    or
    Munoz, Saka.

    Only want one Palace.

    1. 03farmboy
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      I like Munoz and saka seems more attacking but depends who your expensive mid is with the first choice

      1. Hutchiniho
        • 6 Years
        6 months, 24 days ago

        Salah. Trying to make something stick with him and Haaland

  18. RamboRN
    • 13 Years

    Gtg?

    Pope
    Gvardiol saliba quansah

    Subs
    Virginia balco Rogers harwood-bellis

    1. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      Why? Saka, Palmer & Son all got near him and all are 2.5m cheaper.

      Every year is different

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 months, 24 days ago

        Oh I agree, but two days back he was essential

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          6 months, 24 days ago

          Don’t think anyone was essential this year due to the good pricing, even Haaland.

          That’s what’s good about the game this year.

          1. Eat my goal!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      High price, points splitted on many Pool players and Salah could be over the top of his career any time

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 months, 24 days ago

        Personally I’d want some more attacking assets in defence

        I could be wrong, but you’d be the man to know, aren’t CS scarce at the beginning of a season

        1. G-Whizz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 24 days ago

          Last season they were scarce at any point not just the beginning of the season 😆

          Thinking Hall, Barco, and Robinson aren't bad attacking wise so will go with them for now and see what happens 🙂

          Thanks for giving it a butchers and your thoughts are very much appreciated 🙂

          1. Eat my goal!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            6 months, 24 days ago

            Hoping Barco does something GW1 after which he is buried on my bench, then switching to Robinson so don’t disagree on him

            Is hall attacking? I’ve gone pope for NC defence, but largely coz I don’t necessarily want to manage a potential changing landscape and none of the 4.5 keepers appeal

            1. G-Whizz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 7 Years
              6 months, 24 days ago

              Yeah he has been in preseason bombing down the left, and I think he's nailed that position down now 🙂

              I know what you mean about the £4.5m goalkeepers and totally agree none of them seem to leap off the page at me so gone with Henderson out of hope more than anything. Mind you, Palace did alright defensively towards the end of last season so hoping that trend continues...

              Keeping an eye on the Hammers defence as we've made a couple of shrewd signings so hoping they gel and do better than last season (which shouldn't be that hard to do lol) 🙂

    In a spin following the heartbreaking Bobb news... wishing him a speedy recovery.

    Looking at replacements, which of the following options should I pursue?

    A. Pedro Porro and ASR

    B. Gvardiol and Rogers

    1. Sterling Effort
      • 1 Year
      6 months, 24 days ago

      A for me

    2. Swanniie
      • 2 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      A

  22. Sterling Effort
    • 1 Year
    6 months, 24 days ago

    Any comments on this attack heavy team?

    Henderson Bentley

    Lisandro Quansah N.Williams (Harwood Johnson)

    Palmer Saka Bruno Szob (Carvalho)

    Haaland Isak Pedro

  23. Swanniie
    • 2 Years
    6 months, 24 days ago

    Henderson (4.0)
    Quansah, Saliba, Porro (4.0, 4.0)
    Saka, Eze, Nkunku, Jota, Gordon
    Haaland, Isak (Pedro)

    Tempted to downgrade Gordon to ESR and upgrade Pedro to Solanke.

    Thoughts?

    Hi guys, I'm creating draft league, looking for engaged, committed managers, played so many public leagues last couple seasons and I was only one really active after some time. If anyone is interested give me a shout at dominik.messiah@gmail.com. Draft will take place tomorrow at 8PM GMT....league for 6-8 players, no trades.

    Harwood-Bellis the best 4m defender for bench fodder?
    Barco's high ownership putting me off him as could be a potential price drop there if dosen't start a match in the early fixtures.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

      Don’t think anyone will be shipping a 4.0 defender- not like there is a serious upside

      Happened with turner but that was because there was areola

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 2 Years
      6 months, 24 days ago

    Henderson
    Gabriel Quansah Hall
    Salah Eze Jota ESR

    4.0, Robinson, Barco, Winks

    Thoughts - defence too light weight?
    Cheers.

    Any thoughts or comments on Minteh???, have considered ESR but leaning to Minteh due to pre-season form and high potential for returns

    My starting midfield is Salah/Jota/Gordon/Minteh
    Frwds are - Isak/Haaland/Woods
