    Rather they do something about positions than add pts for nerds and their models/AI

    It’s just silly that players in a front 3 like Salah and Saka are getting an extra pt for a goal and a clean sheet over forwards IMO. Make these wingers forwards as well. Could adjust squads so you pick one less MID and one more FWD as well.

    The other thing to do would be simplify the pricing. It’s a simple game with simple rules and simple scoring… except price changes are driven by a hidden formula so complicated nobody can model the results.

      Much like the Mainstream Western Media really: It is so interlinked with our intelligence services and New World Order ambitions it is tough to know where the truth actually lies, even if you are a fluffy one that likes to read between the lines.

    Brennan Johnson taken off at half-time after getting a yellow and suspended for the next Wales game. Nice rest for him now before the next GW.

          Late reply. I get your point but Johnson does not come across as Diego Costa type of reckless player that would get the second yc and he plays in frontline? How many times has Salah has been subbed due to having yc?

          But I buy Hooky's suggestion below and I agree that the sub could have been completely tactical.

        Didn't look like he had any sort of an injury. Looked like he just brought Burns on to get him used to playing in the system for the next game. Burns was terrible though so Bellamy will wish he kept BJ on!

      Morning. Was looking at Johnson news and Bellamy has said ‘he felt something’ so took him off. Should be ok and with his price rise this morning some people must have got him in yesterday either before the game or after his yellow card/sub. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c33v2rre66ko

    Anyone playing the UEFA Fantasy/Predictor games this season?

    Looking at the overall leaderboard I appear to somehow be 4th in the world out of 1,397,000 participants. According to my profile I am in the top 5% in both the fantasy & predictor games.

    Was intending playing UCL Fantasy as an occasional midweek diversion from FPL. Guess I will have to take it a bit more seriously now. As for the Predictor element that’s really guesswork at best. Looks like I’ve got lucky so far.

    Anyone else got a high ranking that they did not expect?

            Just for the record I am currently ranked at 4.1m in FPL after an appalling start full of schoolboy errors & liberal sprinkling of bad luck. So not all good news for me this season.

      I'm in the top 10,000 in the Predictor, which I didn't expect. I like to play because of the randomness of the game, just have some fun.
      In UCL fantasy I had a good GW1 with 94 points, but crashed in GW2 with a woeful 45 🙂

    Maybe a very dumb question but I assume they are exaggerating to make a point. I assume they wouldn’t introduce a full 3 points for a shot on target full time?

      It would probably be something like 3 shots on target = 1 point

        Assumed so, so a bit like Fanteam. Quite like the fanteam approach to things like SOT and saves where every action counts but they just award partial points

          I can maybe live with shots on targets as that wont be that game breaking, and those players maybe deserve something. Hating the sound of the rest of it.

          This must be the first time in FFS history where people are replying to the actual article. That speaks volumes.

            As long as they are subtle and not overpowered I think it might work. But goals and assists has to remain the main metric and that’s where the fun is

    Anyone here played the Yahoo Fantasy game?. I didn't know FPL existed until 2015, but they changed the UI, and went a bit crap, and they stopped it to concentrate on American football.

    Gareth bale went from2.7m (as people who had him at the end of the season sold him, and went to 18m, before he went a bit crap at Real Madrid. Ronaldo was £25m and RVP went from 18m to 9m as he was sold as he was out for 4 months. You could make 15 transfers a game, but rarely did, maybe a couple, because if you had bale at 18m, and he'd get sold, you'd sell him for the price you bought him for.

    Saka (if the game still existed, if he value shot up), may have bed to be of your bench for a few weeks util he was back, as you'f just lose too much money.

    It was a great way of playing the game. The price of the player at the start of the season would just be like FPL Towers but after that, the price would move around, depending on EO but you always had 100m to spend every week.

    As somebody who use to play the old Metro Fantasy Game I'd love to see points for interceptions, tackles , recoveries. key passes, crosses, and shots on targets etc in FPL. It's what made the scoring system for that game superior to any other FF game IMO. It made you look far beyond who was going to score, assist and get CS's and in doing so brought all types of players into the reckoning for your squad (even though their scoring was scoring biast towards attacking fullbacks)

      Wilfred Ndidi of Leicester City leads the Premier League in fouls won in the 2024–2025 season with 28 fouls, 18 of which he won. Here are some other players with a high number of fouls won:

      Moises Caicedo: Chelsea player with 27 fouls, 16 of which he won
      Antonee Robinson: Fulham player with 25 fouls, 16 of which he won
      Joao Gomes: Wolves player with 24 fouls, 15 of which he won

      Yes, Grealish would give the Italian cheats a run for their money, but he will still be looking at himself in the mirror for an embarrassing amount of time.

      I think I'll keep Saka
      He has a history of showing up right after limping off in the last game
      Unless there's a clear news that he's out
      What do the fellow owners think?
      Non-owners are also welcome to share valuable insights

        At leat the obvious: Gabriel, Raya, Saka and Palmer.
        Then leaving Mbeumo and Haaland in the team.
        RAN, Dunk been in most of my drafts.
        Up top a Brighton forward and (if healthy) Isak...
        Still a long time for things to change...

        If Saka was injured he would have surely returned to Arsenal yesterday.

        He limps every game, that’s why he’s mock, he always plays the next game.

        Read into that what you will.

        People spend too much time on FPL as it is, who wants to spend time trawling through boring as defensive stats. Only stat focused managers who are the vast minority. This game is meant to be inclusive, not exclusive, these changes will do more harm than good because the average player doesn't care about them.

        AI based t6eams will get the biggest boost as a result, and that is absolutely terrible for FPL.

        FPL towers have not thought about this very much.
