Eliteserien Fantasy- A New Game From the Developers of FPL

Did you think your summer would be dull without fantasy football? Fear not. The developers of Fantasy Premier League have launched a brand new game called Eliteserien Fantasy.

The game will feature the Norwegian top divison. The site is currently only in Norwegian but it is fairly easy to register and use if you are used to FPL.

The concept and rules are the same as FPL, the only differences being no chips and there’s a  ‘man in the stand’  for bonus points.

The season will have 30 Gameweeks between April and November. A third of the season will be played during the off-season in FPL so this game could soften the summer blow for Fantasy Footy junkies.

Already 58 players have  joined the FFS league, including FPL legend Ville Rönkä. The league code is: 3769-1041

In this article I will take a look at the 16 teams and the players to keep an eye on.

Rosenborg

Having won ‘the double’ two seasons in a row, there is no doubt who is the gigantic fish in this pond. Both league titles have been comfortable with a tally of 69 points, an average of staggering 2.3 points per game. The Rosenborg domination is set to continue with the acquisition of Nicklas Bendtner (12.5). Not only is the insane Dane the most expensive player in the game, he currently also sits in over half the teams.

Mixed results and a few injuries during the pre season, there remains uncertainty around the form of their key players. Rosenborg meet Brann in a face off between last year’s top two teams on March 29. This may give us some answers, or pose more questions as it will be the first of four games Rosenborg play in 10 days. This fixture congestion could be a good reason to overlook the pricey Bendtner for now.

Top 3 targets: Mike Jensen (10.5 MID), Fredrik Midtsjo (8.5 MID), Nicklas Bendtner (12.5 FWD)

Brann

After a shock relegation despite being title contenders in 2014, Brann bounced straight back up the following year. They used that momentum and enjoyed a successful return to the top division, eventually finishing second. Brann’s excellent defence is expected to do well this season as well, especially as Piotr Leciejewski (5.5) might be the best goalkeeper in the league. Early investment in Brann players could pay dividends as their opening few fixtures seem favourable.

Top 3 targets: Fredrik Haugen (9.0 MID), Vito Wormgoor (5.5 DEF), Torgeir Børven (9.0 FWD)

Odd

Starting last season with six consecutive clean sheets, Odd laid the foundations for what turned out to be a third place finish and Europa League qualification. The last 24 games only saw three additional clean sheets but Odd will nonetheless provide excellent defensive options. Espen Ruud (6.5) might prove to be the most essential player in the game. To go along with his nine clean sheets, the right back also managed five goals and eight assists last season.

Top 3 targets: Espen Ruud (6.5 DEF), Fredrik Nordkvelle (9.0 MID), Sondre Rossbach (5.5 GK)

Haugesund

Expect the unexpected when Haugesund are playing. One season they battle for the Europa League places, the next they fight for survival. Given they finished fourth last season, this year their assets may be best avoided! Defensively Haugesund are not much to write home about. Their midfielders have to bear the burden if they are to replicate last year’s form.

Top 3 targets: Haris Hajradinovic (7.5 MID), Erik Huseklepp (8.5 MID), Ibrahim Shuaibu (5.0 FWD)

Molde

Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s second period as Molde manager has failed to reach the heights of his first stint at the club thus far. Back then he led Molde to back-to-back titles, whilst his latest reign has resulted in 6th and 5th placed finishes. With a wealth of options in every position, picking the right Molde players could be a minefield. Solskjær’s preferred tactic seems to be resting players from time to time. Heavy investment in Molde’s assets is probably best avoided to start with.

Top 3 targets: Bjorn Sigurdarson (9.0 FWD), Sander Svendsen (8.5 MID), Mattias Mostrom (6.5 MID)

Sarpsborg

A stable mid table team for the last couple of seasons, Sarpsborg normally go about their business quietly. They do not concede many but they do not score that many either. In fact, their most prolific attacker finished 40th in terms of attacking returns last season. Big things are therefore expected of the attacking minded Krepin Diatta (6.0), an easy on the eye Senegalese U20 international who arrived last month. A Sarpsborg defender could be a must have as they managed 13 clean sheets in the last campaign, with nine of them coming on home soil.

Top 3 targets: Krepin Diatta (6.0 MID), Sigurd Rosted (5.5 DEF), Jonas Lindberg (5.5 FWD)

Strømsgodset

After being a top side since the beginning of the decade, Strømsgodset found themselves finishing mid table last season. They produce fluent attacking play and are a joy to watch, especially at home. Jonathan Parr (6.0) provides us with a potential OOP option. Listed as a defender, the former Crystal Palace and Ipswich left back played a lot on the left wing last autumn. The signing of the experienced left back Stian Ringstad (5.5) could mean a permanent shift to the wing for Parr.

Top 3 targets: Jonathan Parr (6.0 DEF), Marcus Pedersen (10.5 FWD), Lars Vilsvik (6.0 DEF)

Viking

There is not much buzz around Viking at the moment. Kwesi Appiah (7.0) has been signed on loan from Crystal Palace. Despite only being 26, this will be the striker’s sixteenth club in his senior career. Whether he can settle in and finally make it count remains to be seen. With an unfavourable set of fixtures to start the season, overlooking Viking options for the opening might be the best solution.

Top 3 targets: Kwesi Appiah (7.0 FWD), Julian Ryerson (4.5 DEF) Samuel Adegbenro (7.5 MID)

Aalesund

Highest goalscorer from last season still in the league this term is Mos (8.5). He will undoubtably be key this year as well but he is not the only threat Aalesund pose. Most of their goals in the pre season have come from set pieces. Centre back Mantyla has scored three goals without even starting a game but it is another centre back stealing the limelight. Daniel Gretarsson (5.0) has also scored three goals from his four starts this winter. However, Aalesund do concede a lot of goals so any defensive investment has to be purely because of their set piece threat.

Top 3 targets: Mos (8.5 FWD), Edwin Gyasi (7.5 MID), Daniel Gretarsson (5.0 DEF)

Vålerenga

Being the only representation from the capital, Vålerenga have failed to live up to expectations for a good few years. This season they have hired the services of former Celtic manager Ronny Deila. An attacking minded leader, Deila made his name at Strømsgodset where he took the team to league glory in 2013. After years of struggle to get permission and finances to build their own stadium on their side of the city, Vålerenga will finally be moving to their new home mid season. This will likely give them a solid boost throughout the season.

Top 3 targets: Ghayas Zahid (10.5 MID), Mohammed Abdellaoue (9.5 FWD), Markus Nakkim (5.0 DEF)

Sogndal

Gilbert Koomson (7.5) was the only assister in the league to reach double figures last season. However, that is a steep price tag for a player in a team that most likely will be in for a relegation battle. Sogndal had a good defence last season but the latest results in pre season do not exactly look encouraging. Still, if they can replicate some of that defensive form then they have several decent budget options in their team.

Top 3 targets: Matias Dyngeland (4.5 GK), Bjørn Utvik (4.5 DEF), Gilbert Koomson (7.5 MID)

Lillestrøm

Celebrating their 100 years anniversary, Lillestrøm will be hoping they avoid the dogfight this time around. They were dead and buried with five games to play but managed to survive by collecting 11 points from those games. Most of the players are very generously priced, probably reflected by last year’s finish. Lillestrøm should be competing for a place in the upper half of the table. If they manage to do that then there are a few potential bargains in their squad. Daniel Fernandes (4.0) has impressed in pre season, if he can nail done a starting spot then that provides us with an excellent budget goalkeeper.

Top 3 targets: Daniel Fernandes (4.0 GK), Bajram Ajeti (6.5 FWD), Chigozie Udoji (6.0 MID)

Tromsø

Defensively Tromsø are not a good unit. The onus will be on their attacking play. People will recognise Morten Gamst Pedersen (5.5) from his time at Blackburn. After struggling with injuries last season, the set piece specialist is set to claim a place in the centre of midfield. Some calmness in the middle of the park may be exactly what Tromsø need as their passing accuracy of 68.7 % was the worst in the league.

Top 3 targets: Aron Sigurdarson (6.5 MID), Sloboan Vuk (7.0 FWD), Morten Gamst Pedersen (5.5 MID)

Stabæk

Stabæk were favourites to go down in 2015 but thanks to the heroics of Bob Bradley they managed to finish third. During that summer they lost top scorer Adama Diomande to Hull, whilst Bradley left before the 2016 season. Stabæk barely recovered from those losses and somehow just about managed to survive. They are in for another tough season but they do have a couple of cheap prospects to keep an eye on.

Top 3 targets: Moussa Njie (5.5 MID), Luc Kassi (6.0 MID), Hanche-Olsen (4.5 DEF)

Kristiansund

Thirteen years after the club was formed, Kristiansund won the second tier and gained promotion to the top division for the first time. The promotion campaign was thanks to a good defence and a red hot striker. Daouda Bamba (6.5) scored 20 and assisted twice in 28 games. The Ivorian is young and fearless, and is sure to be amongst the goals also in this league.

Top 3 targets: Daouda Bamba (6.5 FWD), Aliou Coly (4.5 DEF), Sean McDermott (4.0 GK)

Sandefjord

Also gaining promotion prior to this season, Sandefjord are favourites to go straight back down. Genuine fantasy options are therefore far and few between, however they might provide a couple of bench fodder options. Seven defeats and no clean sheets in nine pre season games tells they are in for a very rough ride.

Top 3 targets: Erik Mjelde (6.0 MID), Andre Sødlund (4.5 MID), Flamur Kastrati (6.0 FWD)

    My strategy is to have a good bench as realistically am likely to forget to do team some weeks, and am likely to not keep up with injury news, so good bench will help when team on auto pilot

      Do you play mls fantasy also?

    1. Is a Rosenborg defender important to have? I know they are a dominant team but do they keep clean sheets? Which one is best to get if so?

    2. Is Gronner ok as a Brann defender or is Acosta and Wormgoor worth the extra? If they are, which should I get?

    Thanks

    1. Zlatan The Magician

      Rosenborg had a 40% Clean sheet ratio last season

      at home. Overall it was 33%

      Wormgoor. Grønner isn't nailed.

    4. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I'd say yes to your first question. Hedenstad is likely to be on set pieces from what I've heard.

      1. UnitedFan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks. I've gone with Fernandes and McDermott as my keepers. Do you think they are both starters?

        1. Team Cruel

          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          They should be but it is a slight risk. Kristiansund signed a new GK the other day. Fernandes + Dyngeland is a safer combo for .5 more.

      Rosenborg will probably score significantly more than the rest, so maybe 3 attackers will pay off better than using a defender from them. Sarpsborg kept more cleanies than Rosenborg last season i.e. so there is value elsewhere defensively

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        And how many assists did Jonas Svensson get last season? Hedenstad could be getting a similar number.

        1. Ramboros
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          12 assists and 1 goal over the 2 full years he played as a right back. 9 assists and a goal last year.

    Recommendations for a 5.5m defender please 🙂

        Bertrand?

          Lundstrøm for Vålerenga seems like a good option, also scored a goal in a pre-season game a couple of weeks back.

        3. UnitedFan
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Wormgoor is apparently a good pick. Brann defender

        4. Ramboros
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Wormgoor and Rosted for CS and BPs.

          Lundström, Kirkeskov and Stølås for offensive contributions.

      • UnitedFan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Utvik vs Coly as 4.5 defender?

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Depends on your GKs. Utvik for me.

          1. UnitedFan
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Thanks. Yeah, I've stuck with both Fernandes + McDermott instead of getting Dyngeland. Utvik it is.

      • Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Are there any 4.0m defenders who may start?

        Aalesund all over Molde in the first half. 2-0. Mos with a pen goal.

      • Zlatan The Magician
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I'm struggling to find any preseason info for Sarpsborg.Has anyone any idea who the first choice keeper may be? Kristiansen or Cupic.
        I fancy having a Sarpsborg keeper rotate with a Brann keeper as both teams had phenomenal home records last season.

        1. Numb

          Isn't there an FFS equivalent in Norway where you'd be better asking this? This website only supports Premier League based games.

          1. Eden Hazardous

            The site primarily supports PL but is involved in fantasy games in general including Fantasy Rugby , cricket , cycling etc.

            Hi, Numb, it's the Norwegian Fantasy equivalent. FFS are promoting it. Have a look at the top of the page.

          Kristiansen is likely to be first choice according to this in depth article.

            Thanks, Team Cruel. Your posts have been extremely helpful on setting up my team. Your insight and assistance is much appreciated.

      • UnitedFan

        RMT?

        McDermott (Fernandes)
        Ruud - Hedenstad - Rosted - Wormgoor - (Utvik)
        Midstjo - Zekhnini - Haugen - (Njie) - (Johansen)
        Mos - Bamba - Bendtner

        1. General thoughts?

        2. Is there merit in this 433 formation? From the article, it looks like I've covered the 4 best defences with some attacking threat too. Or should I switch to a 343 doing Njie > Sigurdarson (mid) and downgrading one of Rosted/Wormgoor to Coly? (Which one if so)

        Quite happy with this 433 tbh, thanks.

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          There's definitely a case to be made for 4 at the back. I like it.

          Bamba has bad fixtures so you could possibly downgrade him to 4.5 and upgrade Njie.

          1. UnitedFan
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Thanks yeah, I think so too. Any suggestions as to who I could downgrade Bamba to and upgrade Njie to? Or is there a case for keeping Bamba anyway? He looks a great goalscorer according to the article. Thanks again

            1. Team Cruel
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Bamba scored bucketloads in the second tier last season. His first 3 fixtures in this league are against top 6 teams. Wouldn't expect him to score a lot in those 3 games.

              Not sure about 4.5 strikers actually. Plus 7m mids are a bit shady. On second thought it might be better doing it the way you've done.

              1. UnitedFan
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                Thanks. Reading about Komsoon, do you think he could be the answer?

                Bamba > 4.5 (maybe Lorenthzen?) and then Njie > Komsoon?

                Or better to stick as Bamba will eventually come good later?

                  • 9 Years
                  7 years, 7 months ago

                  Komsoon could be an excellent pick for the first few games.

                  Thing is you've got a WC you have to use before GW 17. Think we can afford playing the fixtures rather than keeping players through their hard fixtures. That's what I'll do I think.

                    Same here then. I'll make those moves and go 442. Thanks a lot. I hope you don't mind me asking many questions in the future. I definitely will be 😉

          I wouldn't get rid of any Brann or Sarpsborg defenders as both teams had stupidly high number of Home Clean Sheets last season and they rotate very well for the first 5 weeks.

          It does feel weird though having Bendtner as an almost first choice pick in a fantasy team doesn't it.

          1. UnitedFan
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah, I think i'll be going 4 at the back. 3 defenders off the best 3 teams: Rosenborg, Odd and Brann. And then like you said, Sarpsborg have a good defence, hence Rosted.

            Yeah lol, I'm going with him purely because of ownership.

          Just been thinking abouth that .4 goals conceded vs Start is ridiculous

        Have a question for TC and the other guys that follow tippeligan.

        I do a lot of betting on it year after year, it's one of my bread and butter leagues. And I used to exclusively bet on goals scored.
        But a few seasons ago and a couple of season before that I had one rule, to never ever include Tromsö. They were like a fortress, very few goals scored and conceded. But what happened to them?
        Lost players? Defenders? New coach with new ideas or what?

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Must have been prior to 2013? They lost all the stability when Høgmo left, got relegated the next season, lost players and have never really recovered from that.

          1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah could be 2013 and before that, the years seem to run away faster and faster the older I get.....

            Aah ok, If Högmo was their coach that could be why.

        Koomson is starting to annoy me. You're 7.5m playing for a relegation fodder mate!

          On corners,Fk,penalty ...he looks great.. they may surprise many this season

        Anyone know how the Coleman injury will affect Everton's formation and who will start now?

        Is Baines even worth keeping now?

        1. UnitedFan
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Either Holgate or FM to RB?

          A shift to 3 at the back will see FM as one of the CBs and Holgate at RB.

      • GertJan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Would you prefer...

        1) Ryerson or Sundli in defence?
        2) Lehne Olsen or Bamba in attack?

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Ryerson
          probably Bamba ideally neither atm

        2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 10 Years

          Ryerson and Lehne would be my picks from those.

        I've 'enrolled my troop' according to the translation - mostly guesswork and ownership !
        any tips on
        1 - best cheap defender bench fodder
        2 - best 4.5 mid bench fodder
        3 - best cheap 3rd striker
        ?

        1. UnitedFan

          This is all going on what I've heard and knowledge I've accumulated since it became a thing here. 🙂

          1. Meppe Joe could be a 4.0 starter. Utvik, Ryerson and Coly are all decent 4.5 options

          2. I've got Johansen. Don't know anything about him, but I think he'll fulfill the bench fodder role anyway

          3. Bamba could do well at 6.5. 20 goals and 8 assists in the 2nd tier last season. However, tough fixtures to start with. First 3 are against top 6 opposition

        I mentioned Gretarsson in the article. Guess what, he scored again today! That's 4 goals in 5 starts. And he is a freaking centre back.

        Might have to find space for him too!

          Good stuff.
          I'd like to add that Valmir Berisha, who I wrote a bit about the other day, did not start today but needed just 4 minutes on the pitch to find the net.
          Golden boot winner in u-17 world cup 2013 that made a few bad choices after that success.

            yeah currently, but looking for a way to upgrade a mid

              • 9 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Doing the moes Phil Dagger suggested should give you the cash to do Gashi > 6.5 mid

      • Spokey
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Did Moa play as a winger?

        1. VS10_
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          No, he always plays central. Finne is more versatile and plays on the wing if only one striker.

          1. Spokey
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Did you watch the game today? Looked at set up like he was playing wing. (I didnt see the game).

            1. VS10_
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Not sure what set up you looked at, but team tweeted the line up and he was central. You can also check the youtube link on previous page to the game and analyze his movements. 😉

      • UnitedFan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Johansen or Sodlund as 4.5 mid?

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Sodlund on his way up, Johansen on his way down careerwise.
          I'm choosing between the same 2 and are currently on Sodlund.
          Will check their last friendly before I choose.
          Leaning heavilly towards Sodlund.

          1. UnitedFan
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Thanks. Just need a cheapie to perform the bench fodder role without stinging me too often, can he do that?

          2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            And just as I hit the post button I remembered that Sødlund found himself on the bench in what I'm pretty sure was their last friendly......

            1. UnitedFan
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Wow, so which one now? Is he not nailed?

          3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Johansen's Tromsö is playing tomorrow, lets hope we find our 4.5m man then....

            1. UnitedFan
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Hopefully

      • VS10_
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Sodlund has now sit out the last two friendlies. In the same team there is this 4.5 mid called Valles who has started last 3. I've changed to him now, but don't really know if he is just filling on for someone who is injured.

        1. UnitedFan
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Your thoughts on Johansen as 4.5 bench fodder?

          1. VS10_
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Don't know anything about him, but didn't start their last game. So if he doesn't start tomorrow, I would avoid.

            1. UnitedFan
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Thanks. Look like it will be Valles if Johansen doesn't start that game

        2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Valles came on for Storbaek. But the next game both Storbaek and Valles started so it all seems a bit up in the air...

          Good find though. If Johansen doesn't start he'll be my 4.5m mid.

          1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Also, Sandefjord stinks....
            They seem to rely completely on Mjelde and Kastrati.

      • Spokey
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        RMT. Any changes you would do?

        Fernandes
        Ruud - Vilsvik - Mikalsen
        Helland - S.Svendsen - Koomson - Njie
        Pedersen - Abdellaoue - Mos

        Bench: Dyngeland - Valles - Ryerson - Moe

        Keepers rotate pretty good with home games.
        Defense has two of the main targets. Ryerson will get some games for Mikalsen or Njie.
        Midfield is a bit light. Im having problem finding any good options. Valles is there because I dont know any good 4.5 options.
        Forward is good. I dont have Bentner but he could become a flop anyway. Pretty hard fixtures for Rosenborg the first 3 games also.
        .

        1. poohdini
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Agree with the keepers and fixtures, I have the same pair. Should expect good returns until ~GW6. Gets a bit tougher after that.
          Defense looks good to me. Also take a look at Antonsen from Tromsö.
          Midfield I don't like. There are lots of good options to me. Helland should be essential, Svendsen and Koomson are also good choices. Njie is good value for that price. Moström had also good underlying numbers (0.41 expected goals + assists last year per 90) last year. I have him.
          I don't like Pedersen for the price but they have good fixtures to begin with, so that's okay. Abdellaoue and Mos are good choices. Also keep an eye on Shuaibu (Haugesand, 5.0 price) to see if he's nailed. He had 0.75 expected goals + assists per 90 last season, by far the best among forwards. I have him as a differential for now but their fixtures look awful at the start. Could be a good pick after GW5.

        Do we know who takes penalties between Moa and zahid?
        Moa took the pen yesterday but zahid wasn't playing.

        I don't want both players in my team! Trying to pick one!

        1. Creedey
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I have both atm, but if I had to pick one it would be Zahid. He is a special player! Very creative and quick feet 🙂

        2. VS10_
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I looked on transfermarkt and they didn't have any penalties last year. The year before penalty taker was Holm, who is injured. Zahid hasn't taken a penalty in his career (in official competitions). Good bet that Moa has them.

        3. Blipper
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Daniel Fredheim Holm should normally be on pens, although he might be rotated, and is injury prone. It seems like Moa is second in command and should take pens. I however chose Zahid over Moa, as he might be more consistent in getting points from assists. Having both might be too large investment in one team, as you say.
