I just want to be able to see my next gameweek's team on the FPL page. Would be so much easier planning.

I want to see players no longer docked bps for a yellow card. They already lose a point so that should be enough. A player can lose up to 4pts for a YC if they were on 3 baps, totally disproportionate.

And ditch most of the chips. Go back to just one WC a season, or maybe one WC and one FH.

1.5x for captaincy. 2pts for winning penalties irrespective of whether scored or not or who is the PK taker, no assists.

maximum 2 from any team

Not handing out extra free hits in the middle of the season

One wildcard as the only chip.

Not wholly sure on what to do with this one but the 3-2-1 baps system feels wrong. 30 baps in one match is meaningless whereas in another it can add 3 points.

Think I'd probably exclude goals, assists and cs from baps and add a threshold for bonus points - something like 20 points is 1 etc. Rewarding tackling and passing etc should/could bring the forgotten 3/4 of mids back into the game.

I'd like to see Bench Boost ditched as a chip and to have something else in it's place. I'd also really like for the man of the match to pick up maybe a couple of extra points (I don't play it but I think Sky Fantasy does this?), I think it would encourage more diversity with some picks of players that may be less likely to pick up returns than others but that tend to be very influential on the pitch.

Realistic

Change bonus points to be threshold based and not cap them as only the top 3. It gives solid players with lots of minutes a steady stream of 1 bonus making them useful. Also prevents the dreaded 1-1 draw with a goalscorer getting 3 bonus for a penalty when they did nothing else. Rewards demolitions as well with huge points. Exciting.

20 bps - 1 bonus
30 bps - 2 bonus
40+ bps - 3 bonus

Dream

Change the game to have 8 'attackers'. Forwards and midfielders combined into one pool with scoring the same (midfielder one). Forwards now contribute a lot defensively, often more than wide forwards like Salah, and this rewards them equally by giving them clean sheet points as well.

I'd price natural forwards higher like Mitrovic next season at 8m or something like that to balance it out. It's all in the prices. But at present, forwards are awful value for money and something needs to be done about that.

Seems Fpl will continue having chips, so in terms of rule changes specific to chips, these are the following -
1. Have each chip be used in each half of the season. Just like Wildcard can be used in each half, same for the other chips. Will make chips strategy more interesting. Almost every season chips are centered around double GmWks (this season due to Covid issues slightly more variety in chip strategy, but otherwise pretty much everyone plays the chips in similar time). This would give more variety.
2. The Free Hit chip to have unlimited budget. The name says Free Hit, so budget should not be issue.

I'd have two categories of midfielder; attacking and defensive mids (but you could select up to 5 of either type to fill up your midfield slots). They would score points differently (e.g. more CS points for DMs). This would massively increase the range of players that we'd all plausibly want to use. At the moment all of us are fishing in the same pond of 30 or so players. The game is more fun when there's a wider range of successful strategies available (like we've seen with the chips this season).

Also, I'd have a bigger spread of prices. FPL towers should aim to price every single player at a price that makes them equally attractive based on what we know at the start of the season. Again, more variety = more fun

More chips, love them, really breaks up the mundane game weeks for me

Clearly in the minority here though

Vice Captain

We should live and die by our captain picks

Regarding BAPS, they need reform:

- No double-counting (as I have said many times over and has been mentioned above by Wild Rover for one): a big chance created shouldn't be worth more if it becomes an assist, a yellow card shouldn't subtract BPS as well. A penalty save shouldn't be worth more than any other big chance saved.

- But no 'man in the stands' player ratings either. The whole 'Mark must have player X' wailing, wringing of hands, rending of garments and gnashing of teeth on matchdays when goals/assists/BAPS are not given is bad enough. More subjectivity won't make the game be, or seem, any fairer.

- There shouldn't automatically be 6 points (more in extreme cases of ties) for every game. Aguero got three BAPS when he scored 5. Ramsdale can get 3 BAPS for passing stats in a game when he didn't even save a shot.

In a terrible 0-0 or maybe a 1-1 with scrappy goals and lots of missed chances and misplaced passes, there should simply be fewer BAPS available. The threshold for 1-3 points should be above certain levels (let's say for the sake of argument 10,20,30 BPS), and only then should the game decide where players within are ranked. If all players score 0-9 BPS except one gets 11, then the player with 11 should get 1 bonus, and that's it.

Price changes happen once a week at the beginning of the gameweek for which they are active. Transfers are not final until the deadline for the gameweek. There is a button on the transfer page that allows you to undo your transfers and revert to your team from the previous week at anytime prior to the deadline. Your transfers for the week are only confirmed when the deadline passes. You wouldn't be able to undo an active chip like WC or FH, but if you transferred in James on Monday and he got hurt on Wednesday you could undo it. And you wouldn't be chasing price rises anyway because you wouldn't know them until the next gameweek! Gameweek transfer in/out numbers wouldn't be confirmed until after the gameweek too (obv).

Basically chasing price rises and falls midweek is not good for the game imo.

Wingers to be classified as forwards.

If you play front 3 then you're not a midfielder really. Even if you have to track back.

I guess this creates tensions in Pep's teams where he wants to rotate players between the attacking lines to improve their overall performance and fluidity in the team. More choice of strikers would be better.

Or a change to squad structure and allow an extra midfielder and just 2 strikers as currently classified

I would like all dead teams 9no changes after 8 weeks to be scrubbed

I think the system as it is are fine, for most parts. This threshold thing i understand the argument behind, but to me, one of the things with Fpl is also to be able to predict goalscorers in the 1-1's too, and if A defender for City or Liverpool gets an assist and cs in a game they win 5-0 with zeeo bonus at say 35 bps, thats something you kind of have to calculate in, because the best teams sometimes win 5-0 and you get 3 strikers/midfielders that shares the goals.
If i were to change i would perhaps change the chips, for example they have a double captain (your vice gets double too) and the chip "spissrush" in Eliteserien fantasy which are pretty fun and variance can be extreme.
You can have a chip where you get to captain from each position, like a defender, midfielder and striker in one gw. Double defence chip, where you play your defender with double points instead of captain. (to maximizing this chip you have to play all your 5 defenders) and forgo your usual cap choice, and it will require both planning and restructuring to do it.

No need to start complicating a simple game - leave it as it is (save some tweaks, like WR's YC suggestion).

All my players to be given more points than all of everyone else’s players no matter what happened in reality.

Increase or remove the limit for rolled FTs.

My bug bear remains defenders not be "punished" sufficiently when lose heavily in terms of minus points

Always thought points for scoring the winner would be good.

Wouldn’t want to change much - but definitely some of the above BPS tweaks

Would also review positions/scoring to restore a balance between MID and FWD. Either make “front 3” players forwards eg Salah. Or MIDs and FWDs both get the same pts for a goal

Bonus points for players that have been on the pitch for 5 minutes - remove them. Need to be on the pitch longer to earn bps.

I see the author wants to see Player Ratings for bps. That's going back to the "Man in the Stand" method and is too subjective. Let's keep it tangible and quantifiable.

Get rid of the silly chips and just keep one or two wildcards.

For me, a lot depends on what kind of game one wants this to be, more luck or skill based.
To that extent, I think the price change system needs to be made more transparent and notify on the official site that a player is changing in value. At present, it's information withheld, and adds un fun randomness to the game.
Similarly, you get fully penalised for a value drop but not fully rewarded for player price drop. I can see why it happens, if you didnt lose value until 2 drops, you could do some transfer trickery to gain the value, but combined with not knowing when price changes are happening, its not a fun experience to wake up and see you cant make changes you wanted to due to withheld information.
Transfers. I'd like more free transfers, I enjoy making transfers, it's the interesting bit of the game. I also tend to make more at the start to try to correct pre season mistakes or jump on / off the unexpected performers. To that extent, maybe some sort of transfer bank could be employed? One starts with 10 free transfers, and gain one each week up to a cap of 15. This could be mitigated somewhat by removing a wildcard chip. You could then store up more transfers and have more mini wildcards etc.
As for chips, I don't mind them, but feel bench boost could do with a revamp, as it's an awkward chip to use. Maybe something like "best eleven" where you auto get your best team at the end of the week from the players you have?
I like the suggestions for bps thresholds.
I'd like to see a way for defensive mids to be more viable but don't have an idea that isn't added complication.
Being able to view / set your team weeks in advance would also make planning a little nicer

Oh and as I keep saying whenever posts like this come up:

- Minus points for scoring an OG (accidental by nature); but
- No minus points for conceding a penalty (deemed to be deliberate or at least careless by nature regardless of how harsh the decision)?

I think this needs sorting out

Get rid of all chips other than 1 wildcard like it used to be. Make it more realistic and less about planning chips. Ruins it.

Id like to see 2 variants of the game

1 - more chips in a vegas style, adrenaline pumped moves each week

2 - one more focused on planning benefit, reduce transfer cost from 4 to 3, cannot have the same captain each week and no chips

For defenders:

Playing 45 mins in first half and keeping a clean sheet = 1 point
Playing 45 mins in second half and keeping a clean sheet = 1 point
Playing any 60 mins and keeping a clean sheet = 1 extra point
Playing full game and keeping a clean sheet = 1 extra point

Reduces the lottery of your defender conceding a deflected consolation in the 92nd minute, and losing 4 points plus potential bonus points.

Remove captaincy & make wider spectrum of starting prices instead of 0.5m difference make it 0.1m this way we will see more variation in our squads.

As for captaincy in my opinion without it every point would matter and it would force us to have strong whole squads, at the moment good captain pick can cover squad which underperformed you can have 2's and 1's across the board but your captain hauled and you doing better yhan some one who had players returning but bad luck with captain pick.

It's early, hope this makes sense.

It is a simple game. No need to complicate it. A fee tweeks.
1) No -ve bps for yc
2) Less points for penalty scored and penalty assist
3) Not reward forwards so much in bps for goals. It is their job. In fact it is more impressive for a mid to score lots of goals than a forward.
4) Lose FHs as they are chips that have the highest luck factor and zero planning factor. (example FH29 last year when rubbish picks on paper like Trossard and Veltman got rewarded so big in random fashion)
5) Some damn transparency about price rises. It is about time really. No price manipulation (we all know it exists), WCs to contribute to to price changes, no price freezing that a player like James is sold by 2m people and lose just 0.2 or whatever in price when he actually rose 0.5 by same amount on transfers in.

2 things for me:

1) allow unused free transfers to be rolled indefinitely and not capped at 2 FT's

2) VC scores 1.5x points (rounded up to help with decimal issues) BUT you get both the C point increase and the VC point increase every week, however, no replacement if either your C or VC doesn't start/play.

The one change I'd like to see and would be transformational for the amount of strategy and variation we'd see in FPL would be to make hits less punitive. 1 FT a week is tedious and multiple transfers every week hurts you too much to do currently. If hits were made to only cost say -2, we could do so much more with our teams. Triple D chasing would become viable, regularly hitting in and out your premiums becomes more viable, getting that backup striker for a month becomes much more viable. -4 for a hit constrains the game too much. You need a CS or goal to break even on a hit and two returns for a net positive score. -2 for a hit would mean any return is net positive vs an outgoing 2 pointer. -20 to change 6 players is too much currently but you have a fighting chance to be up in a given week if 6 changes only costs -10 instead.
