I can't think of many who earn as much money as footballers in terms of the UK and there are hundreds of them! The average wage for a premier league footballer is around 50k - 100k per week! Think of how many ventilators that could buy. And there are other sports players around the world particularly in America who earn even more. It's times like this when it sickens me to the core to think of the money these cretins are making for kicking or throwing a ball around or hitting a piece of rubber around with a stick! » Read
I note that a number of sporting stars have made considerable donations to help in the fight against Covid-19 but I haven't heard of many footballers doing the same. Apart from Pep, Messi and Ronaldo, I haven't heard of any other footballers making any donations. The UK government are proposing to pay 80% of the wages of those poor people who are now out of a job. Given that the country is supposed to be in a deficit, I do wonder where this money will come from which will be millions. I personally think that footballers should be made to pay for it from their disgustingly high wages. » Read
My first FPL season was 2006/2007 so I have little memory of Henry as an FPL asset but looking at those stats, it's not even a debate that Henry wins group B and probably the whole thing! » Read
Jesus how the hell is Gareth McCauley in this competition? And no Charlie Adam (Blackpool) or Michu? Those 2 players have probably been the best value for money players in the history of FPL. Barmy » Read
For me, it's those players who provide the most value that makes them stand out more than the expensive heavy hitters. Harry Kane when he was only 5m and Charlie Adam when he was at Blackpool are the standouts for me. » Read
So FPL seem incapable of answering a simple question. I emailed them asking a very simple but important question which was does the FPL site have the software capability to add on extra gameweeks. I asked this in anticipation of the premier league suspension being extended beyond GW38. The only response they were able to muster was a link referring me to the current statement from the premier league. Absolutely useless! » Read
I emailed FPL last week to ask the question about the software capability of their site to add on extra gameweeks. Still waiting for a reply. It's critical that we know this because given the likelihood of a further extension beyond 30th April taking us past GW38, if FPL will not be adding on additional gameweeks then basically FPL is over now. Im gonna email them again today. » Read
Wow so much pointless discussion on here about transfers. FPL is over guys until next season. All remaining gameweeks will pass without a ball being kicked. » Read
I personally think that before another article is written on here and before we invest any more time on transfer decisions, FPL need to make it known wether or not their site has the capability to add on extra gameweeks in the event that the premier league doesn't resume until after GW38. To me it seems very likely that there will be an extension beyond April 30th and that the first game after the resumption won't take place until after the GW38 deadline. If FPL either won't are unable to add on extra gameweeks then FPL will finish before another ball is kicked. I for one don't want to waste time on transfer decisions over the coming weeks only to see it be ultimately pointless. I have emailed FPL so will see what they say. I anticipate though that they will just send a template response like they did last time I asked them a similar question which didn't answer my question at all. » Read
This is the issue. If there was to be a huge gameweek with teams playing 5-6 times, those with the TC and BB chips have an unfair advantage and quite frankly this would make a mockery of the game. FPL need to decide what they are going to do. I don't want to waste time and effort on transfer decisions if the premier league doesn't resume until after GW38 and FPL can't add on gameweeks. They really need to let us know if the software capability of the site does or doesn't enable additional gameweeks. If it can't then there really is little point spending any more time on FPL this season. » Read
That's not really a benefit as it's the same for everyone. However those who have the TC chip left will have an unfair advantage if we do have a situation where teams play 5/6 times in one gameweek. » Read
Absolutely ludicrous that FPL are sticking with this policy of leaving the gameweeks and deadlines in place despite there being no games. Assuming the premier league doesn't return until GW36, what are they going to do cram the remaining 9/10 games each team has left into 2 gameweeks? That just won't work as you will only be able to make 2 transfers in that time. Just don't understand why they are not just suspending FPL completely until the matches start again so that when they do start they start in gameweek 30. » Read
Idiotic comment. So Man Utd have just as much a chance of winning the Europa League as Liverpool have of winning the league? How dumb. Nobody at all will have any objections to Liverpool being given the league if it doesn't complete. » Read
