FPL launch 2016/17 – New Rules and Player Pricelist
Finally it is live! FPL is back, life as we know it will not be the same for the next 10 months! At first glance there seems little change to last season – budget and squad size is naturally the same and the four chips remain in place, including the two wildcards – one to be used in the first half of the season, the other to be used in the second half of the season. The first may not be carried over – so use it or lose it. The only change seems to be in the calculation of bonus points – a breakdown of which can be found under the Rules tab.
With less than a month to go before the start of the season, managers will be busily playing with different formations and strategies, so to help you on your way, let’s take a very brief look at some of the highlights of the price list for the players.
Players Price List – initial reaction
The most expensive player (as per usual!) is Sergio Aguero who again costs 13mln, while the success last season of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez sees their prices rocket to eliminate their bargain status! Nolito and Anthony Martial being listed as midfielders may attract decent support. Zlatan Ibrahimovic comes in at 11.5mln to make him the second most expensive player while Diego Costa costs just 9.5mln, making him cheaper than Harry Kane, Daniel Sturridge and Jamie Vardy. Daley Blind are Chris Brunt are now listed as defenders, while Eric Dier is now listed as a midfielder.
[clear]

You will all have your own views and may spot the glaring bargain that I have missed. So please share your thoughts below on both the new changes to the game (the chips) and also your thoughts on the prices and maybe you’ve even begun to draft your initial squad.

Jasprit, how are you doing mate?
Hey jasprit, hope you are well. Yeah everyone’s still here mate. More or less!
Hey jasprit remember you well mate welcome back it should be an interesting season 😉
Hey Jas
Great to hear from you.
Any news on Hull getting a new GK? Atm they only have Jakupovic until January at 4mil
Stmct
Yeah McGregor is out with a bad one. I have Jakupovic as back up just now at 4.0M. I expect they’ll sign another experienced keeper soon though. Any players would do Hull. They only have 14 just now!
I’ma get the ball rolling …
You are only joying aren’t you GP :smiling:
Joking?
Nope. Try making a team!
Brave man GP
I’ve gone without Agueroooo in a first draft but not sure how long that will last…
I clicked auto select so I’ll have a proper look in 2 days.
Has the world gone mad this is how many players , signed up already Total Players: 22,031
This is some people’s life Silvers.
Made two already GP I thk teams are going to be very different this season , maybe some lower priced players could be the same but hey what do I know
Ok here goes Kun is a must for me to start good fixtures to start , wouldn’t start with Deeney , Gray or Firmino although I can see Fir having an excellent season but the Pool have a tough start. The other 3 mids all have reasonable starts all good players.
Wouldn’t have a Sou def until we see how they go after losing Koeman not quite sure why you have Cath or Mal in there GOOD START
Because I can’t afford everyone is the main reason Silvers
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee…It feels so good to be back..cheers everybody..Wish you all a fantastic season..let’s get to the job now..
BTW, How y’all like the new interface?i mean the new site structure.i’m pretty used to with the older one.will take some time to acclimatize.
Yeah I agree with you Constant I prefer the older one but I’ll have to get used to this one.
Hey Constantine, how are you?
I don’t mind it. It’s not like it is difficult to use which would have been the main problem. Like everything else that gets a facelift, we’ll get used to it.
Is anybody else having trouble signing in using their phones?
Nope signed in myself no problem.
Brookyboy are you using an app or though Google ?
Through google Silvers.Gonna download the app later.
Just logged in on my phone and had no issues Matt
Cant log in using app
My phone keeps saying my connection isn’t private and that hackers may try steal my info and I can’t go any go any further but I can sign in using my laptop no problem.
That sounds odd Matt. Are you using an app or your browser?
Yeah I know. I’m using Google Chrome and I didn’t have a problem with it last season.
Yup use….. Internet Explorer *shivers
