Of course we all know that the next FPL superstar is a small man by the name of Bojan! Whatever you did now is the time to sit back, relax and see how your chosen players fare for you in this the first game-week of a new season.
Keep track of all the action, the goals, the talking points, right here at FF247 Live Match Chat, an interactive chat which encourages you to keep involved and share your thoughts and emotions as the matches take place.
Good luck for GW1 from all at FF247!
Sounds good Hazard, will be good to see someone actually doing some work, unlike those hopeless admins…. is there even one on the boards at the moment? We need qualified professional to answer these questions we have, as it is quite obvious that none of us have relevant qualifications….
Haven’t really made any comment on this as of yet, but I’d just like to thank those hardworking admins (and regulars) for the great articles, and especially the very friendly community that has been created here. I Initially started out on FFC (I still visit it now and again), and what you have created here just brought all the good things about it and organised it into one big fluffy ball of greatness.
Good on you for getting rid of that muppet init, this is no place for the kind of rubbish he was talking.
Thanks again,
your favourite German born Kiwi,
PvR
lol at “big fluffy ball”
+1. Thanks for all the hard work folks. First season here & I’ve already learned so much. Cheers to the admins & everyone else for the help!
guys..any suggestions on the flopshows: baird,davies(tot)? cost me dearly.also, whats up with Mariappa..is he going to play..thank u frens.
frens..suggestions please..
Constantine
I don’t see Mariappa playing unless there are injuries.
Sure the Palace backline will be Kelly, Dann, Hangeland, Ward for the foreseeable future.
Baird may play now and again, maybe as defensive security in some of the harder games.
I expect Davies to make an appearance next weekend with the suspension of Naughton.
thanks a lot TGP. any hints against BS baird
Would a point hit straight up to get Ramsey and pelle in for Giroud and Erkison be dumb? It could get me onto both players before they sky rocket..
get ramsey.pelle not sure.
Hmm, pelle has incredible fixtures now though.
Not sure if you saw the game yesterday but Pelle was poor!
Who should I change first out of my squad?
Was thinking a Giroud, Erkisen for Pelle, Ramsey or a Lukaku, Sterling combination.
To get either of these combos I’d need to take a hit. Would it be worth it to catch them before there price rises?
Team:
Mannone (Krul)
Davies, Filipe Luis, Jones (Wisdom, Duff)
Sigurdsson, Mata, Eriksen, Eriksen (Davis)
Giroud, Diego Costa, Rooney
Makeya…
Mmmm
I’m thinking along the same lines….
Somehow I gotta get Sterling in
I’m thinking of doing a straight swap with Mata as like you I have Rooney upfront for Utd cover…
I’m trying not to take too many hits this year….so as much as I’d like to also lose a couple of dud defenders I’m keeping my itchy finger under control….for now..?
Makeya…
U got two Eriksens in mid….?
Morning everyone…
Trying to get my head around potential players price rises / falls…
Does anyone know what the NET transfer threshold is for a player to rise…
Reading the Article from fantasy scout that someone posted last night was very intersting…
I’m thinking Sterling for Mata…?
I’ve checked out Totalfpl for info, but….Tbh I really don’t get it….?
going on last year, it was about 48000 net increase to go up by 0.1mil. the second 0.1mil in a week it needed to be a lot more than that but I don’t remember. The max for a player in one week was an increase of 0.3mil.
for a players price to go down, it depends on the ownership. It roughly equates to a fall in the players ownership of about 9% for a 0.1mil fall.
a lot of times a player will be protected from falling if they are injured (RVP dropped from over 1mil ownership last year to less than 400k, but hardly fell in price)
Bundeena B….
Thanks for the reply….
I notice siggy has 112k transfers in so far…
He’s gone up by 0.1 already
So I suppose he’ll go up again tonite ..
Probly the max 0.3 by the end of the week…
its not quite that simple. I think a player will go up 0.1mil if his net increase for the week is approx. 48,000. The next 0.1mil increase only if the players gets another 96,000, and the third increase if the player gets an further 190k.
There is also a rule that allows a player only to go up 0.1mil in a day, and once a player has increased, it re-sets to NIL. IE, if Siggy had 100k net increase in one day, he will go up 0.1mil, but then will start at NIL for the next day and will need to get to 96,000 to go up again.
I didn’t understand it all once, but have forgotten the finer details, maybe someone can find a link to a better explanation.
a player can also be “locked”. this is usually when they are injured. so they are protected from falling in price, even though many managers remove them from their team. They can also be locked if they have just come back from injury and/or they are new to a club (common over the January period). The locked period usually lasts for 8 days.
locking will stop their price decreasing AND increasing.
This is from last year, so don’t know how accurate this is. It still has a lot of useful answers and acts as a good guide though. Touches on a lot of what you guys have been discussing.
