Who made our 2019/20 FPL Team of the Season?

Over the last week, Fantasy Football Scout site users have been voting on their favourite Fantasy Premier League goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders and forwards of 2019/20.

Our polls have now closed and we can reveal which players have made our end-of-season XI.

Goalkeeper

There were no surprises between the posts, with Nick Pope polling over three-quarters of the goalkeeper vote.

Starting the season out at a bargain £4.5m, Pope registered 15 clean sheets for Burnley and finished as the highest-scoring goalkeeper in FPL.

His total of 120 saves was the fourth-highest in the division while nobody in the same Fantasy position came close to matching his 23 bonus points.

More than one in five of you backed Dean Henderson in our poll but the other four candidates were a long way adrift.

Defenders

Trent Alexander-Arnold ended 2019/20 as the highest-scoring FPL defender, finishing just three points short of the record that Andrew Robertson set in that Fantasy position a year earlier.

The Liverpool right-back got close to his teammate’s 2018/19 total despite registering seven fewer shut-outs.

Four goals and an astonishing 15 assists saw him finish joint-fourth in the overall standings, with no other defender, goalkeeper or forward surpassing his 210 points.

Alexander-Arnold finished top of our poll with 31.6% of the vote, one position above John Lundstram.

A £4.0m FPL defender who operated as a box-to-box midfielder, Lundstram provided better value than any other outfielder based on the points-per-million metric.

Five goals, four assists, 10 clean sheets, 15 bonus and 144 points was a superb haul for someone so cheap, with five of his appearances resulting in double-digit hauls.

Although he lost his place and became less of a regular in the second half of the campaign, Lundstram finished the season in fitting fashion with a goal on the final day.

Matt Doherty was himself a bargain buy in 2018/19 and, despite the inevitable price rise, he made our Team of the Season for the second year running.

With four goals, eight assists, 12 clean sheets and 167 points overall, the Irishman was the only non-Liverpool player amongst the top four highest-scoring defenders.

Robertson and Virgil van Dijk trailed behind Doherty in our poll, with Leicester pairing Caglar Soyuncu and Ricardo Pereira further back.

MIDFIELDERS

 1

Kevin De Bruyne always looked to be a shoo-in to make our end-of-season XI, having finished as the highest-scoring FPL asset in any position in 2019/20.

The Belgian, who started the season off at a now-unthinkable £9.5m, racked up 251 points and finished some distance ahead of the chasing pack thanks to his final-day haul.

The City midfielder started 32 of the 36 fixtures he was available for and there were 10 double-digit hauls over the course of the campaign, with his returns in Gameweeks 17 and 38+ representing high points.

Only two midfielders – both of whom were at the budget end of the scale – represented better value for money than De Bruyne (23.7) based on points per million, despite his end price of £10.6m.

What should FPL managers do with their free transfers?

Only Bruno Fernandes (8.4) averaged more points per match than De Bruyne (7.2) in 2019/20.

The inclusion of any January transfer window signing in an end-of-year XI is a contentious one but few mid-season captures have quite made the impact that the Portugal international has and he finished second in our midfielder poll.

Fernandes scored more points (117) from his Gameweek 25 debut onwards than the likes of Diogo Jota, Ismaila Sarr and Nicolas Pepe did all season, with only three blanks arriving in his 14 starts.

Six double-digit hauls were registered in that time, too, a total that no other Manchester United asset could beat across the whole of 2019/20.

Making our Team of the Season for the third straight year, Mohamed Salah‘s total of 233 points was the second-highest in FPL, despite it being his lowest since moving to Merseyside in 2017.

Nine double-digit hauls arrived in 2019/20, with one of them coming in Double Gameweek 24.

Salah enjoyed home comforts more than most and he was a reliable pick for the captaincy when at Anfield, with 15 of his 19 goals arriving on Merseyside. In only four of his 18 home appearances did he blank.

Gameweek 32+ Scout Picks focus on Arsenal, Wolves and Man United

Our second Manchester United ‘midfielder’ to make our Team of the Season will likely be a forward next season.

This was by some distance Anthony Martial’s best-ever FPL season, with the 24-year-old striker racking up 17 goals, nine assists and 200 points and finishing a clear fifth among FPL midfielders in the overall points table.

Martial’s average of 6.2 points per match was also the joint-fifth-best in the division.

Having previously had something of a reputation as being injury-prone, he also became a reliable starter after an early-season spell on the sidelines, missing only one of United’s final 29 league matches.

FORWARDS

Danny Ings more than doubled his Premier League goals tally in one fell swoop in 2019/20, finding the back of the net on 22 occasions in a superb campaign for the Southampton striker.

Ings, who finished top of our forward poll, finished the season in around 2.4 million squads and had risen in price by £1.6m – by some distance the biggest beginning-to-end price change in the game.

No other forward or indeed midfielder provided better value based on FPL’s points-per-million metric (26.7).

There were only three double-digit hauls over the course of the season but his consistency of returns more than made up for it, along with his league-best bonus points tally of 40.

The Golden Boot winner and the highest-scoring Fantasy forward of 2019/20, Jamie Vardy plundered 30 attacking returns and 34 bonus points in the season just gone.

The Leicester City forward – whose starting price was a relative bargain £9.0m – was within one point of matching his highest-ever FPL score, too, which was set in the Foxes’ title-winning year of 2015/16.

Most of the damage was done in the first half of the season: from Gameweeks 3 to 18, Vardy found the back of the net on 17 occasions and set up a further five goals.

The long-serving striker averaged 8.6 points per match over this run of games, delivering six double-digit hauls and blanking on just three occasions.

A whopping 23 of his 30 attacking returns came against bottom-half clubs, which made him a relatively safe bet for the captaincy in plum fixtures.

What's the best strategy for choosing forwards in FPL? 8

While he was never going to offer the same value he provided in his debut Premier League campaign, Raul Jimenez did score four more goals and 13 more FPL points this time around.

The Mexican, a bit like Ings, wasn’t too explosive, registering just three double-digit hauls – two of them against Manchester City – over the entirety of 2019/20.

But the points arrived on a regular basis, with his 24 attacking returns coming in 21 different games.

The Mexican started 37 of Wolves’ 38 Premier League fixtures, only being benched in Gameweek 20 when Nuno Espirito Santo’s side faced two matches in the space of 48 hours.

Jimenez made our Team of the Season for the second year running, edging out Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to take the third forward spot.

    Would this by affordable?

    4.5, 4.0
    VvD, Tierney, Coady, 5.0, 4.0
    KDB, Sterling, Sancho, 5.5, 4.5
    Martial, Firmino, 4.5

    1. Fantasy Gold

      Nope.

      This is utterly pointless regardless.

      1. I Member

        Wouldn't bother replying to something utterly pointless if I were you.

      2. Grounderz

        Waste of account created for this type of senseless comment.

      3. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years

        Especially when it includes Firmino

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Probably.

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      yes

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Just checked.
      Bobby has been outscored by Robbo Taa VVD for last two seasons 😀
      Amazing stat isn't it ...
      The lure to get triple pool defense is amazing tbh !

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah I'm thinking Firmino would be good value at 8m but now that you say that I'd probably just be better off going 1 upfront and getting TAA or Robbo instead.

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          The problem with that thought is flexible. If a striker or two becomes must own it won't be that easy to switch from 4-5-1/5-4-1.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            2 FT's would be needed.
            Not sure about anything with fixtures not done yet. Also United City might not even have GW 1 so ...
            Just like last season, I'm definitely looking at 4 atb though

        2. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Easily. Don't forget Raùl though. He could be nice option also.

    5. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Has Sancho signed...?

      I would wait until the prices come out. You’re abit too keen, even for here 😆

    6. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I stuck with Firmino all last season. He’s amazing but too selfless to be good for fantasy. He pulls defenders apart to make space for runs. Don’t get any points for that.

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Could be one of those under the radar picks though at 8m. I don't think hardly anyone will pick him at 8.5+

  2. Egg noodle
    • 14 Years

    Is this statement true of false?

    English players are typically overhyped in England.

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      True or* false

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      True.

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Generally speaking yes.

      Being overhyped doesn't mean you're aren't really good though.

      I'm of the opinion England only have 1 world class player at the moment in TAA - my definition is top 5 in each position.

      They have world class talents in Sancho, Sterling and Gomez. These are players I class as having played a load of games at a young age, and have the potential to be top 5 in their position.

      Then you have the world class potential in Greenwood and Foden.

      Some have world class traits and abilities like Kane (finishing) for example, but that's where the line stops for me.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I like that you defined World Class. No room to be misinterpreted. *takes notes*

        The only part I'd question is Gomez. But I'm not sure enough to put forward an argument!

    4. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      young ones probably are, but Henderson has captained a PL and CL winning team and a lot of 'normal' people think he's shite. People slag off Kane and Vardy at every opportunity they get (if they don't score for more than 3 games in a row)

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Kane is arguably the most overhyped player in the country. That doesn't mean he isn't good.

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          we must be looking in completely different places, because all I see is people slagging off Kane whenever they get a chance

          1. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Fans slag him off, media overhype him.

            I think fans overhype a particular type of player, and the media definitely have their type when it comes to overhyping. If you know what I mean.

    5. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Never a truer word spoken.

    6. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Young promising English players are overhyped as the next superstar that will win the world cup. Get a massive contract and then when they're 4 years older and England haven't won the world cup they're overpaid wastes of space.

    7. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Always. We have this toxic paradox where we project ourselves to be far better than we are and yet we simultaneously lack the belief and confidence against the major nations.

      Abstract, but I think it stems from our English superiority complex from the Empire days, inventing the game and the industrial revolution. Now we have this shiny money sodden Premier League, which is good, but English football is entertaining overall due to the history of the pyramid, the atmosphere and the melting pot of British and now players from all over the world.

    8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      By the media yes

    9. Amey

      British media is toxic !
      Overhype overcritisize overrate ...

  3. goriuanx

    I don't understand some of the stick posters are getting for trying to build a team despite the game not being launched yet.

    We're on a fantasy football forum after all.

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I know right. If it's not for you then give it a miss and move on.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      It harms no one and they're having fun.

      Net positive.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Where do you stand on United assets? Bleemin' gotta add Sancho to the mix! His ability to get both G and A may make him a very unique asset.

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I'm going with Rashford to start with. Might switch to sancho

        2. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Undecided yet. It's such a complex issue...

          If Rashford and Martial switch classifications as expected, and they're the same price, Rashford edges it for me, even without pens. But there's the added complication of Greenwood stealing their minutes.

          Not sure about Bruno. He was so heavily reliant on penalties that it makes me a little cautious. But I do think that United attack can win a lot of them, so it depends on price...

          If Sancho is 10m or below he might be my favourite, so long as he had a good run of fixtures. Quality players attract points.

          So yeah, prices and fixtures will shape who I have, but pretty confused and uncertain atm!

          1. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            I'll be looking out for your posts when the game goes live then!

          2. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Sancho deal looks amazingly close now 😀

        3. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Bruno almost certainly, and Greenwood if the price is right. Outside chance of Williams as a benchie defender.

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Agree it's just a bit of fun. It's like these people come onto a fantasy football forum and don't like seeing fantasy football teams.

    Spurs have agreed to sign Hojbjerg for 15m
    Saints have agreed to sign KWP for 12m

    via Sky Sports

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      KWP looked good for them after the re-start. Good signing for the Saints.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Spurs got better player ...
      Kwp is also a nice player.

      Brilliant business from both teams

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years

        I've pencilled in KWP if he's 4.5m

        1. Amey

    Who is everyone going with? Fulham or Brentford

    I’d like to see Brentford go up, the scouting network and would be great to see a new name go up

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Brentford. Enjoyed watching them in the semis, potential for FPL bargains, never been in PL before.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Brentford surely strong favs now that Mitro hasn’t made the XI... hamstrung

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        It must be worse than they're admitting - otherwise he'd surely start.

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years

      Brentford will bottle it imo

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        want Brentford, only because their goal difference was miles better

    4. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years

      Brendford..better team + first time in thier history + Benrahma

    5. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ditto - I know nothng about them and it would be great to see a new name in there.

    6. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Brentford, but they have a dismal play off record and it's almost too perfectly set up for their ascent.

    7. Essan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      My best mate supports Brentford

      I support Ipswich ...... 😮

      Not sure whether I want him gloating over me even more or not. But agree, always nice to see a "new" team in the PL

    8. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Brentford - their style sounds genuinely exciting, like Leeds, plus I'd like to take a close look at a couple of their players. If Fulham join the PL I'll prob not be interested in any of theirs.

    9. Amey

          Nobody knows. Some video I got on a feed from building next to the blast site. First came a big fire, then huge smoke vefore all it went ballistic.

          I thought it could be arms depot or an lpg storage. But ruled the second one out as it looked anything but lpg tanks

    When proposing a team for next year we tend to (collectively and individually) end up falling into the same trap of generally chasing last season's points. Completely understandable, not criticising, but to really get ahead we've got to really look for the fresh bargains that will emerge (I like the proposed suggestion of a cheap Che Adams over a 9m Ings). We perhaps also need to see signs in the likes of Leicester (momentum gone) and even possibly Liverpool, whom may not be as invincible next year.

    One suggestion I have is to use two slots of a team such as MUN to allow flexibility over which potential third option presents itself. Of course (and the point of my post), we may be completely overestimating the likes of MUN...

    1. amitmishr

      I generally look at players who get into form towards the end or even during warm ups. Sometimes some players take almost a season to settle in a rhythm and then hit the ground running next season.

      Che Adams seemed to be in that basket. Leicester awful form could also be down to Maddison injury and defense issues. If they keep hold of ndidi, they would be a good bet along with europeless wolves.Leeds and Brentford should alos provide 2 players

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Its tricky, because the likes of Jota ended last season terrifically and then underwhelmed for months in the next (though Europa is a convenient bit of context to explain this).

        Excellent point with regards to LEI and why I posted. They ended the season dismally (opposite of the previous season), BUT perhaps this can be explained due to injuries of key personnel.

        Europeless Wolves will be ostensibly great

      It’s the same every year up until the game releases

      Prices and preseason always change everything

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        plus the first few GWs of the season. If the likes of Pukki explode going into an international break explode again, it'll be trigger time again

    3. Licky

      Adams was someone i liked last season, never got him initially but i was glad to see it click for him towards the end of the season.

        3 years, 7 months ago

        You're looking for this season's 'hidden gems'. Unfortunately, the clue is in the name. We have no idea and it's largely luck if you pick them from the off. It's really about jumping on the right bandwagons and timing your wildcard astutely.

    Is the quality of the game (playoff) is good generally ??
    Is it worth to stay awake i mean & find a stream ?? Don't think they stream championship games on any channel here in India. So it'll have to be a free streaming site 😛

    Also how much time to KO ??

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      My memory is that it’s normally rubbish - if very tense. Haven’t checked actual history there of course 🙂

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Doesn't sound good 😀

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Plenty to play for - depends on the quality of the sides in question

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Just saw Kamara in the starting 11 mate.
        😕

    3. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      4-4 in 1998, incredible game

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        2010 Blackpool Cardiff was incredible, particularly the first half

        1. Ser Davos
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          but generally the best games come in the semi two legs

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            I remember watching videos of Watford vs Leicester when someone missed a pen (Brighton winger) & Deeney scored a goal at the other end on a counter attack. That must be amazing game too

            1. Ser Davos
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Kane, Vardy and Drinkwater on the bench that day!

              A similar incident happened that year with Brentford, ironically.

              Incredible stuff

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 7 months ago

                Yeahh
                Now i remember Kane Vardy were on bench 😀
                Amazing isn't it

      3/4 way through update: poor game. Tough on the players to draw conclusions though, last week's semis were much better.

  9. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Come on Fulham!!

  10. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    What do people see Rich coming in at?

    I’m looking at Everton as a side that with the right fixtures could provide some value. May be tempted to spread risk early on by not doubling and trebling until form is apparent

    1. amitmishr
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Rich is just not consistent enough to come at above 9 as a striker. May prefer raul and Ings over him.

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        As high as 9.0 as a striker? Could be I suppose - I’d be hoping for less

        1. amitmishr
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          May be 8. But raul and Ings will most likely be just 0.5 more, even then

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      same price imo

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Agreed and he may get a bit more bonus as a FWD, but he's generally not great as a mid-prem priced asset.

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      8m striker alongside Ings.
      Jimenez should be 9m

      1. Flaming Flamingo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Ings scored 9 more goals than Richarlison in less minutes. Surely there'll be at least 1m between them if Rich is reclassified?

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Richa is on the seen for 293 years now.
          Whereas Ings only did it this season. That may come in equation right ??

          I never owned Richa this season. Don't think next season will cahnge too

          1. Flaming Flamingo
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Yep, that's definitely a fair point. Richarlison scored 13 goals both this season and last, so has shown consistently. Nothing to suggest that he can get the kind of numbers Ings had this season though.

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Agreed.
              Ings was phenomenal

            2. pingissimus
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Ok

              Rich and Ings 10 point hauls? Also check Rich v Ings pre 30 and it looks a tad more equal.Thinking short term holds and not season hold and there's less in it perhaps.

              Not going there but not not going there.

    4. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I think Ancelotti's presence will provide a more stable EVE season, but my mindset is now similar to those of last season when we were pushing Digne and /or Coleman: "it's Everton". Notoriously unreliable

  11. Ser Davos
    • 8 Years

    May eye up a 4.5 Kamara if FUL go up

      Aahhh, he trolled me 2 seasons ago - started with him and Christie - or was it Cairney? Anyway utter waste of space the pair of them when I owned them.

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Cairney, Wolves' Costa and Sanchez with Firmino over Mane

        Hence, why I'll likely go unashamedly template this year

    5. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I had him for the first 10-12 weeks or so, only played him when he got a red. Good enabler though, my best part of that season.

    Pick the who you predict will score the most fpl points next season.

    Martial or Fernandes

    Mahrez or Jesus

  14. fc_skrald
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Any arguments for not getting Ings if he is priced around 8 million? Will Southampton keep playing the same kind of football?

    1. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yup. He has a history of injuries.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        He does, but you have him and simply offload when the inevitable injury strikes.

    2. amitmishr
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Difficult to argue at that, but just for the sake of it, if Adams starts well in warmups and priced at 6, could offer better value

    3. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Trying to gauge if he will be next season's Jimenez or Callum Wilson. I suspect in between the two and possibly more toward Callum Wilson.

      Often these cheap strikers have a breakout season and we insist on having them again at their new price... only to seem them unable to replicate the previous season. Kane came good after his 5m breakout, but it took quite a while.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        He's in his prime though.

        1. Ser Davos
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, I'm not writing him off and it'll be classic FPL in never considering and the season kicks off with him carrying on from where he left off (cue WC)

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Ha ha
            I'm saying that because he looked Amazingly fit & goal hungry..
            Very involved in the game too

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Che adams at 5.5 can be a bargain

      It’s a classic Callum Wilson situation

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years

        Fraser really screwed over Wilson... and Bournemouth.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

          Aye that be true

          Hopefully Ings even at 8.5 will be another goldmine

          I’d love to see him at Arsenal but with an auba stay

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        C Wilson did actually start well last season. How many games without blanking (or did he blank once)?

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          7 GWs.

          5
          5
          5
          5
          13
          7
          6

          He then has 16 blanks in a row.

    6. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Def would pay 8 for a nailed striker playing for a reasonably good attacking team.
      I guess it depends on who gets changed from mid to fwd and what options we have
      But if the team structure is 3-5-2 and heavy mid again as it was post lockdown then well need budget strikers so Ings would be pretty high up on that list if not at the top

    7. Nimby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Ings can only get worse

          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah
          A mod posted same on last page. I didn't expected it to be so fast

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      Nice

      I’d say they might open it pre-fixtures you know

  16. ZimZalabim
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Any idea why the PFA awards havent been announced yet ?

    why the delay ? Anyone have any idea ?

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I guess no one knows

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Everything picks itself anyway.

      KDB, TAA and Klopp.

  17. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Always start with a 4.5, 4.0 GK combo. If Pope is 5.0, that will change.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Pope will be 5.5

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Would you get him in for that price?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          If he's at Burnley and looks like staying, I will.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            I'd rather get Lloris at that price

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Nope

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I also think Pope will be 5.5, such a bonus / save magnet and highest scoring keeps, can’t see only a 0.5 rise

  18. fusen
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I find it a little bit strange they've restricted access to the main FPL website as they haven't wiped any of the data available when calling the API, so all the stats for last season are available just not directly.

    Seems like a bit premature to lock down the site, I wonder if it is going to sit like this for a while now.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Don't see why API won't work. Must be working on newly created one ??
      Or just need to update the players prices maybe.

      Or it can be anything regarding website development and we're waiting like anything 😛

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years

      I can still log in ok, looks as was.

      "... bit strange ...". Agree. It begs the question: why?

  19. OverTinker

    How can I download data of current season (GW history, transfers, etc)?

    1. Amey

      livefpl.net has that provision

      1. OverTinker

        unable to find

    Hoping that Brentford can make it through this one, really like the model at the club. They’ve done so well over the last ten years.

    1. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yep, great setup they have. Allot being discussed over here on Danish TV for the match about Brentford and the DK connection with the Danish manager/staff/lots of players/and same FC Midtjylland owner, and setup also works really well for both teams with the younger players moving between both clubs.

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah it’s well well run which is refreshing! My nearest local league club too 🙂

  21. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Oh dear. Fulham attack sans Mitro and Brentford defence off my watchlist!

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Brentford not got out of their half yet.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        How are Brentford not 2 down? I'm waiting to see what their front 3 can do. 'Defend' seems to be the answer.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Drinks, 0-0. If Brentford go up the goalie will rack up save points. Just starting to get into the game but Frank needs to give an Arteta drinks tutorial here.

  22. Ragabolly

    Torres is officially a Man City player
    https://twitter.com/mancity/status/1290724181886279685?s=21

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Is he better than Mahrez?

      1. Ragabolly
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        4G 5A in 34 games last season suggests no

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      What is he ??
      Winger ??

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Replacement for Sane I think. But young, prob won't get into first team for a while.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Cheers mate

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Great signing and one for the future certainly has the potential so lets see how Pep shapes him.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Any sign of Pep renewing his contract?

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I hope not 😛

        2. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Now that is the million dollar question which only he knows the answer to. Personally I will be surprised if he does extend it for another 3 years but you never know the whole FFP has strangely made him more committed to the club which can only give us a bit more hope.

          That said Arteta is a ready made replacement, I have been really impressed with him at Arsenal.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            A lot depends on the CL imo

            If somehow city win then his days are shorter

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Hopefully United takes a note from your book. 3 player signed already

    4. Jebiga
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Awesome trade!
      Better deal than Sancho for less money 🙂

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Lol

      2. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Ironically the money City will get from the Sancho deal will pay for the Torres transfer.

        1. Jebiga
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          That's the main point 🙂

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Wow.
          How much willCity get ??

          1. Syd.
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            I think it is a 20% of the fee above the initial £8 million

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              That is 20m over next 3 seasons 😀
              Amazing

              1. Piggs Boson
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 7 months ago

                Not enough to mend the wound of letting him go for £8m in the first place...

                1. Amey
                  • 5 Years
                  3 years, 7 months ago

                  I'm not complaining. If that becomes 20m that'd mean he would have won CL & A Bloon D'Or 😛

                2. Syd.
                  • 14 Years
                  3 years, 7 months ago

                  Yeah that is the problem these days with young players where other clubs are prepared to offer them 1st team football

      3. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        You're still salty after last PL game mate ?? 🙂

        1. Jebiga
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          LOL, you mean last decade?

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Didn't get that. Anyways got your point in post above. I didn't know Sancho has a clause which will give some money to City too

            1. Jebiga
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              When I said decade I meant there was only one team last decade in premier league and its from Manchester 🙂

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 7 months ago

                Okay okay ...

                1. Jebiga
                  • 11 Years
                  3 years, 7 months ago

                  I found an article it says 15 mil pounds will go to the city pockets if united buy Sancho. Torres was around 20 mil

                  1. Amey
                    • 5 Years
                    3 years, 7 months ago

                    You're right. City Chelsea Pool are so shrewd in market.
                    United are anything but that though 😀

                    1. Jebiga
                      • 11 Years
                      3 years, 7 months ago

                      Well I really admire Greenwood, more than 120 mil spend for Pogba and 90 for Lukaku.
                      We will se next seasons...

                      1. Amey
                        • 5 Years
                        3 years, 7 months ago

                        Definitely
                        Hell of a finisher !!

      Fernando Torres has had such an up and down career.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        TM over the moon

    6. FPL Pillars

      Torres Magic will be pleased. Torres comes alive again!

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Good to have Fernando Torres at City, Mourinho at Wolves ....

    7. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Good signing as a Sane replacement. Now just need Ake deal to close and their squad is ready.

  23. Gringo Kid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    All Fulham, it's just matter of time when they'll score

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      It's still Fulham mate - not just a question of when they score

  24. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Hope the occasion doesn’t get to Brentford but they haven’t got going yet. Fulham look comfortable and most likely to score

  25. Jebiga
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    It will be only one game in championchip final?

    1. Gringo Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

  26. ZimZalabim
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    what happened to Mawson didnt he sign for fulham when they got to the prem ? was highly rated at one point ? did he get sold or is he injured or just not good enough ?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Had a few good games but has regressed and looks a very average player.

      Championship level at best

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        is he still at Fulham ?
        either way I guess hes not a budget option for next season then
        I remember him being decent at swansea got a few goals too if i remember correctly

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Yes still at Fulham but I think they are trying to offload him

  27. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Half time. Fulham dominated that half but no goals. Frank looks like a manager who knows how to tweak a tactic, so I think we might see more of Brentford second half.

    1. Jebiga
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Let's go Mitro, get in

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I hope so. I think Brentford would have the better options for FPL. Plus it would nice to go to Brentfords new ground.

  30. pingissimus

    Interesting choice by Chelsea for their 3rd strip. Much better to have gone for the team of the 80s look surely

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Is that the Crystal Palace looking one?

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yep - looks identical to my eye. Odd choice

        1. Bun Rab
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Well that gives them a Blue 1st kit, a lighter blue 2nd kit and a 1/2 blue 3rd kit! Not sure it will go down well with fans though.
