Amongst all the noise made during this Christmas to New Year corridor is some very exciting news for our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) community: the official launch of a LiveFPL app.

A long-time friend of Scout, Ragabolly, has been adding useful tools to his beloved site for years:

  • Live rank updates, revealing a team’s placing both worldwide and in all mini-leagues
  • Accurate price predictions for each night
  • Ownership insights, checking out the differentials and highly-picked players of nearby managers
  • The What-If tool allows you to simulate hypothetical FPL scenarios ahead of time

There’s so much more beyond these, to the point where over 100,000 people visit LiveFPL every day.

Now, it can all be at your fingertips as a LiveFPL app, free to download on iOS and Android. Enjoy!

The LiveFPL app has officially launched + is free to download

    Thanks for thoughts in advance:

    A) VVD + Rice -> Gabs + Bruno G (-4)
    B) VVD + Saka -> Gabs + Rogers (+ 2.5 ITB, -4)
    C) Semenyo -> Rogers

    Verbruggen
    Timber VVD Keane*
    Saka Rice* Semenyo Foden
    Haaland Ekiteke

    Dubs Dorgu Alderete Guiu

    Why is everyone bringing Gabriel now and increasing the price?

    He was substituted because of a cramp or something and could easily be rested next game as it is just few days gap

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 months, 27 days ago

      He scored 15pts, that’s why.

    2. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 27 days ago

      Because he will inevitably be in my team anyway, Calafiori is injured, and Gabriel price will rise sharply.

      If he is rested next game, it will be an early sub as per Villa

    Verbruggen
    Gabriel - Saliba - VdV
    Palmer - Saka - Foden - Rogers - Gordon
    Haaland - Bowen

    John - Esteve - Reinildo - Obi

    I really love this draft. Bonkers front 7 with double Arsenal defense.

    Thoughts? 🙂

    Plan is to save 4 FTs then till GW 24 and do one of the following keeping in line with the fixture swings -

    A. Verbruggen + VdV + Gordon âž¡ Sanchez + Richards + Sarr

    Or

    B. Verbruggen + Gordon + Saliba + Bowen âž¡ Sanchez + James + Watkins + Sarr (if Watkins looks good then)

      • 7 Years
      2 months, 27 days ago

      Verbruggen doesn't do points
      Neither does vdv
      I think Rice covers Saka with Bruno G placeholder
      Cherki better than Gordon
      Bowens ppg very low, why not just go with DCL

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 27 days ago

        No Everton defence us difficult

        1. Make FPL Casual Again
          • 7 Years
          2 months, 27 days ago

          DCL allows rotating good 4th defender and stronger bench

    2. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years

      No Liverpool.

      Score check?

  4. BR510

      All I know is that investing in Che and Avl is good from 24 so B I think. See question below

      1. BR510
          2 months, 27 days ago

          reply fail PoP

        • pundit of punts
          • 13 Years
          2 months, 27 days ago

          Yeah will be doing either of the two in 24

          WC team look good for now?

          1. BR510
              2 months, 27 days ago

              Looks incredible! After seeung that, considering WC now. I do have 3ft so ill probably hold it

            • BR510
                2 months, 27 days ago

                Prefer Konsa Andersen Mukiele to Vdv

          2. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            2 months, 27 days ago

            Would you go both Watkins and Roger’s on WC?

            1. BR510
                2 months, 27 days ago

                I like watkins pick but wouldnt go both. Watkins and Gordon is punty but Rogers Ekitike is safe.

                I'm considering it

                • 9 Years
                2 months, 27 days ago

                Watkins no, limited gametime

            2. BR510
                2 months, 27 days ago

                Verb
                Timber Thiaw Dorgu
                Saka Foden Rice Cunha
                Haaland Thiago Ekitke
                Dub Andersen KDH Rodon
                3FT .4 itb
                1. Timber to Gab
                2. Rice Thiago Rodon to Rogers Obi Gabriel and play 442
                3. Thiago KDH to Bowen Stach
                4. Other?

                  What a we thinking on Foden and Cunha? It might be time to get rid shortly, Cunha has done nothing against easy opposition and Fodens returns have dried up. Saka could also be in this conversation.

                  Problem is who to get in? Bruno when back? Palmer? Free up cash to get Gabriel alongside Timber/Raya?

                  1. CYN
                    • 7 Years
                    2 months, 27 days ago

                    Going to keep Cunha until the fixtures turn.

                    Considered downgrading Saka and/or Foden for the Gabriel money but will hold another week or so and assess.

                  2. KeanosMagic
                    • 4 Years
                    2 months, 27 days ago

                    Yeah I'm in the same boat.

                    Seems silly selling Cunha before Leeds but United are blunt!

                    Half my team are on the chopping block but only 1 free. Kind of want to save the WC

                  3. Brosstan
                    • 11 Years
                    2 months, 27 days ago

                    Cunha will be a good pick once Bruno is back. Hope it isn't too far off

                    • 12 Years
                    2 months, 27 days ago

                    Foden to Palmer possibly, but not for a few GWs.

                4. KeanosMagic
                  • 4 Years
                  2 months, 27 days ago

                  Rice to Rogers for free?
                  Would cost me 0.2 in team value.

                  Or just play Anderson

                  1. Count Olaf
                    • 1 Year
                    2 months, 27 days ago

                    I'd keep Rice unless we hear it's a serious injury. Good long term pick.
                    Anderson is ok for one week, 4 points most likely scenario.

                  Preferred duo here folks???

                  A- Bowen and Saliba
                  Or
                  B- Watkins and Thiaw

                  Cheers everyone!!

                    Watkins too expensive, I prefer Bowen.
                    Saliba a boring pick, someone else instead?

                  2. BR510
                      2 months, 27 days ago

                      A for sure!

                    Is Rogers such a no-brainer Semenyo replacement? What about Bruno G?
                    They have similar stats (both on 0.16 xG per 90 and 0.11 xA per 90) that they are massively overperforming.
                    They always play 90 minutes. Bruno G has been benched a couple of times.
                    Rogers isn't on set pieces with the exception of a couple of direct free kicks. Bruno G takes some corners.
                    Bruno G is slightly better for Defcons (got it twice, Rogers never).
                    Newcastle have the better fixtures. Villa better form right now.
                    Bruno G is 0.4m cheaper, soon to be 0.5m.

                      • 13 Years
                      2 months, 27 days ago

                      Having this exact conundrum at the moment on WC. Leaning towards Rogers but love Newcastle’s fixtures. Tough

                    2. Mr Turnip 1
                        2 months, 27 days ago

                        Honestly, don’t love either as the data isn’t great for either. I’d try and buy an extra defender. If it has to be one of the two, I’d lean Rogers, he should theoretically be the more attacking player

                                I’ve been so engrossed in toying with what a WC team could look like, which I know is a bit mad….that I’ve just realised I can do the following for Gabriel:

                                VDB + Ekitike > Bowen + Gabriel

                                Thing is it’s for exact funds, and none are rising/falling tonight, but worth those moves?
                                Only way I can think of to squeeze Gabby in.

                                  Happy New Year Ricicle! Don’t do the WC fella. Start the new year with a roll. You’ve got one of the best teams I’ve seen on here in last 48 hours. Gabby can wait.

                                    Cheers AB! Same to you!
                                    Yeah it would be kinda silly to WC I know, I was so tempted though because I’m in a bit of panic mode after falling from like 53k to 153k in last 2 GW’s haha! Albeit with a -4 and a -8 this GW, my own fault and feel like it’s the beginning of the inevitable free fall that always seems to happen at some stage.

                                    I do like my squad, just got to stay calmer I guess.

                                  I would make those moves and not get priced out. Guess it would cost a -4. It’s worth it.

                                    Cheers mate! Yeah but would be for a -4, that would mean a total of a -16 taken over three GW’s, eek! But like ya say, for Gabriel it’s worth it. Every chance I may do that cheers man!

                                  Late to the party (from the party actually) but you help me so yeah, I’d do that. I’ve got all 4, but Ekitike isn’t doing anything Bowen can’t do, at the moment anyway. Save the WC is the main thing. That & get Gab.

                                    Cheers Ndidi! Much appreciated. Agreed, plus Ekitike for me now is a bit pricey for what he’s giving, and like ya say he’s not doing anything Bowen can’t do, can do much more with the money, Gabriel is a must! 😉
                                    I’ll save the WC, all the best for the new year bud!

                                  Rogers was predicted to rise

                                    Can’t you play 2 Free Hits in consecutive weeks? I used my first FH in GW19 but when I do my “Pick Team” for GW20, it shows the FH greyed out but all other chips available.

                                    Any idea here? May have to WC instead as my team is in disarray for GW20

                                      Ignore. Just seen you can’t play in consecutive weeks. Thats a bummer.

                                      From the rules

                                      The Free Hit chip cannot be played in consecutive Gameweeks. So, if the first chip is played in Gameweek 19, the second Free Hit cannot be made active until Gameweek 21.

                                      You can't because the FH is programmed to give you the team from the prior GW after resolving. If you played 2 FH in a row you would get your first FH team as a permanent team after playing second FH.

                                      So, lazy programming is the reason you can't play 2 in a row

                                          Hit for a move involving a defender is a big no in my kingdom.

                                              Does Gabriel count as a defender in your kingdom? He is destined to be a 7m asset.

                                                    Would you rather lose konate or keane? Waiting for keane injury update, might keep him if he’s ok
