      How exciting…

    Most important question of the day, who is going to replace Southgate?

    I hope it will be Lampard.

      Good morning, nice to meet a fellow Scotland fan.

      1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…

        ABE

      Rooney then we can have a decent manager at Argyle.

    3. Zimo

      The standard of managers they hire makes me believe it'll be Gerrard or Lampard.

    4. It's going to be Lee Carsley isn't it. Surely no manager with any ambition in club management is going to take the role.

      1. x.jim.x

        Probably Potter with the Chelsea stint tarnishing his rep

        I suspect the bookies' favourite, Eddie H will be the one approached. I'm enjoying the looney articles urging they go for Klopp or Pep. Quite apart from the obvious point that neither would be so stupid, in my view, both would be disastrous choices.
        Klopp's system depends on gegenpressing and we've already seen the squad is too knackered after a heavy season to press in a summer tourney. And as for Pep, it takes a player a year on the training pitch to soak up Pep's gazillion instructions. How would that go when he has a fortnight to instil vast computer codes in the boys?
        Clearly Lampard and Gerrard would be disastrous for quite different reasons. For those who insist 'we want winners, and we want English', their only living option is Howard Wilkinson or Harry Redknapp!

          Lampard or Gerrard have already submitted their CVs. Classic approach, like Southgate's tactics.

          However, Roy Hodgson has already shared a new clip on Tik Tok. He is looking fresh and motivated, an underdog on a black horse.

      I agree Lampard FTW!

      1. Haa-lala-land
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Steve Holland can be England caretaker manager for a year,
        Gareth can be his assistant.

    6. PartyTime

      I hope they give tuchel a chance

      You're all joking about Lampard right? Right guys?! Guys!?!

    Where game?

    1. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Game over there, not over here

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years

      Ain’t no game here.

    3. fauxnacho

      Go away! There ain't no game and there never was!

      1. Haa-lala-land

        Game over man, game over! (Hudson)

  4. Chandler Bing

    Which GK is everyone going for? Seems like a tough spot to pick with fixtures and rule changes.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Cheapest playing combo for me.

    2. FatmanAndRobin
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      9m combo and leave it

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Probably Henderson if he's 4.5.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        see below

    4. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      No idea tbh. Pickford & Leno were my go-to guys for saves but I don't think I'm paying 5m & don't trust Fulham defence without Palhinha. I guess the battle of the 4.5s will be Johnstone v Flekken v Verbruggen v Neto? Like Johnstone most of those but want Muñoz more & probably won't double up

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Henderson Flekken as like the home rotation for first 7 weeks

  5. Stoic
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    After hitting auto fill and registering your team, who is the first player you would search and add

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Salah and Isak

    2. FatmanAndRobin
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Interested to see the full united squad and prices.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Henderson. The 4.5 keepers all play for teams with the worst opening fixtures, so I'm hoping he's 4.5

      2. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        We already know all of the revelant attacking ones don’t we? Reckon the fullbacks and Onana are 5m

        1. FatmanAndRobin
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          I didnt see a Bruno price

          1. x.jim.x
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 4 months ago

            Bruno 8.5
            Rashford 7
            Hojlund 7
            Garnacho 6.5
            Mainoo 5.5
            Onana 5
            Martinez 4.5

            Think this is everyone so far (I missed the Onana announcement)

            1. FatmanAndRobin
              • 13 Years

    1. Ahtikullervo
      • 7 Years

      As the song of DM sais:"But not tonight!" I believe it will be on on Friday only.

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Nah I'm pretty sure it'll be today. They've already stretched it out substantially longer than last year

      2. df34
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Quite confident not Friday, as if something went wrong on launch day they do not want to be fixing it on Friday evening / Saturday

    9 am - the FPL boffins arrive at work
    9 30 - coffee
    10 am - they take the hamsters out of hibernation and put them into the wheel that powers the engine
    10 30 - Social media Post
    11 am - press the big red button to launch
    11 15 - much scratching of heads before they fix the inevitable issue
    11 30 - launch
    11 31 - my auto-fill team named hghghgjh gets ID # 1

        Plenty of time for the Knight to polish his helm...

    2. Merlin the Wraith
      • 9 Years

      Starting at your predicted 11am Thunderbird button launch I reckon I'm gonna be pretty much pissed by the time the game has been CPR'd into life 🙂

    3. aapoman

      I'll beat you to it with my auto-fill team named assd

  8. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Rolling up to 5 FTs is nice, but give me performance based bonus points not limited to top 3 players

  9. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    If they don’t launch the game today then they can as well wait till August since they want to be boring.

    1. Mirror Man
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Why not tomorrow.

  10. aapoman

    Anyone else really dislike the "mystery chip"? Imagine playing a game the rules of which you know when the game is halfway done LOL. Hope they reveal what it is sooner rather than later so we can plan for it.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      I think it will be one of the Elitserien chips, one that will have little or zero impact on pre-planning and strategy. I’m plumping for Rich Uncle.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        Two Captains us unlikely, but limitless FH is my guess.

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Is...

        2. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 4 months ago

          That is Rich Uncle.

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Click bait method for January

    3. Assisting the assister
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Best player auto captained or
      No cap on players from one team are my guesses.

    4. df34
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Absolutely!!
      As "Eze Really" said below it is classic click bait for January

    5. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Yeah I don't really like the 'mystery' for the same reasons. Suspect it'll be something gimmicky, maybe in relation to Jan transfer window like getting 3 new signings for free

  11. df34
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    So true

  12. Haa-lala-land
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    ESR will be this FPL season's Palmer, if he can force a move

  13. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Jesus effin Christ! Are they releasing full squad prices now instead of launching???

    https://x.com/CPFC/status/1813495259529355565?t=fUMqyKvJYjq7h5H_ihLjbA&s=19

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Apparently the original article said the game will be launching imminently this afternoon. They have now edited it to say very soon. Could be edited screenshots by twitter users but seems weird to do that.

  14. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Dean Henderson 4.5m!

  15. aapoman
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    LMAO they really be revealing now all the player prices before launching the game

  16. FrankieTheGent
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Does this make sense as a strategy:
    Start with a strong squad
    Resist transfers as much as possible
    By GW 5/6 play the WC and set the team up with better knowledge of starters plus world cup stars back
    Move forward from that point with 5 FTs for insurance

    1. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      I'll just play the game the way I normally would. Get players I think will get the most points. Not really trying my hardest to save transfers just for the sake of it

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 4 months ago

        I’m going to save up five transfers and then use them in front of everybody without trades, just like I do with mine Easter eggs!

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      That's exactly my intended strategy

    3. Tarby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      I'll play it the same way, but will hopefully just be able to roll more transfers at some stages of the game rather than using 1 instead of losing it.

      I think it gives a lot more flexibility on the WC as well. If you have a few FTs but want to WC then you still can, you'd basically have a mini WC in your back pocket anyway

    4. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      Yeah I think this change definitely incentivizes an early WC in conjunction with stockpiling those early FTs. Will try to do something similar but it'll certainly present a test of resolve as I'm pretty trigger-happy generally

    5. shorey143
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 4 months ago

      I think there is a lot of over thinking. Unless you get unlucky with injuries a December wildcard has the most impact. If you’re saving up 5 FTs why not just use them as a mini wildcard?

  17. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 4 months ago

    Andy says its launching this afternoon.

      Will we have to wait for all 20 clubs to reveal all their player prices?. This could drag on until 4 or 5pm BST if so.
