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]
New player prices – some of the new players to the Premiership
Zlatan Ibrahimovic 11.5mln
Henrikh Mkhitaryan 9.5mln
Michy Batshuayi 9.0mln
Nolito 9.0mln
Eric Bailly 5.5mln
And some selected old favourites:
Sergio Aguero 13.0mln
Harry Kane 11.0mln
Daniel Sturridge 10.0mln
Jamie Vardy 10.0mln
Diego Costa 9.5mln
Olivier Giroud 9.0mln
Wayne Rooney 9.0mln
Alexis Sanchez 11.0mln
Kevin de Bruyne 10.5mln
Eden Hazard 10.0mln
Dimitri Payet 9.5mln
Riyad Mahrez 9.5mln
Anthony Martial 9.5mln
Mesut Ozil 9.5mln
Firmino 8.5mln
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.

I’m Dean, a new member here. Good luck to all!
Hi Dean, welcome to the site mate. How’s your squad taking shape?
Hey Dean great to see another new name around here!! Welcome mate
Like Cook says how’s the team coming along?
Welcome to the site agent 117
And welcome to the Regulars League 117.
If i create 20 different accounts on here and post one comment with each, can i get them all in the regs league?
NiN, yes. Would love to see you running 20 teams. :p
Yeah, haha, didn’t really think that one through did i? Ahem. Carry on 😉
Won’t matter, you still won’t win. :hippo:

That really, really doesn’t constitute a regular! The occasional post here and there is fine. But a lazy intro post and nothing more beyond doesn’t qualify anyone!
In fact I’ll go one step further on that and say I’ll be reviewing that league after 2 months and if I don’t recognise people I’ll be binning them from it. I see every single comment posted on here and I have a fairly good memory to boot! It’s for genuine regulars and I want the community to be able to recognise the people they are up against.
That’s what i was getting at 😉 Fully agree.
Don’t worry it’ll be monitored and vetted. I’d like to see someone try and argue in May that they posted once last July!
Word :ok:
Suggestions please
@ the powers-that-be at FF247, please refresh your leagues. I want to joing elleffcee’s money pot too … but i think i may already be in it. thanks

***REGULAR’S LEAGUE UPDATE***
In case anyone missed the announcement –
“We have secured a substantial prize pool for the main FF247 league which will be announced in due course and many thanks to this seasons main sponsor Fanager. Details of that will be released soon.
However…
Last season we ran a ‘Regulars League’ which was basically an invite only league for those who post on here regularly. Hence the name. We are delighted to announce that this season we will be doing that again but with a prize attached as a ‘thank you’ to those involved. We are putting up a £300 cash prize pool for this league with FREE entry.
1st – £125
2nd – £75
3rd – £50
4th – £30
5th – £20”
So… to enter you need to –
1. E-mail Elle who will provide you with the code. Elleffcee@fantasyfootball247.co.uk
2. Satisfy a loose criteria of being a ‘regular’ ish poster. We aren’t being anal about it, it’s open to anyone who is registered on here and posts comments. Doesn’t matter if it’s every day, once a month, whatever. As long as you feel you use the site and contribute occasionally please feel free to join.
The only thing we ask, and place trust in you for, is that you don’t go posting the code anywhere else or giving it to mates or whatever who don’t use the site just because there’s a prize attached. It’s here to reward those who are part of our great community and we hope that is respected and not abused. Good luck getting past Elle in any case
Never tell people in advance it is about money. The surprise when the price is won will be that much greater. Too bad. You killed the rule. Can’t compete.
Just get a mail over Razman.
Not really if it’s monitored Raz. Like Init has already said, non comment folk will be kicked out which is fair doos
Indeed mate. That was the point of it. If there’s people in there come prize time who we don’t recognise as regulars and can’t marry up an FPL team name with a site name then they won’t be getting a prize, simples.
So what your actually saying Elle I could dropped 20 places overnight without a ball being kicked : smiling:
Your still in though.

Cheers, Elle.
is sanoga toulouse around? Not ringing a bell that one.
Some of the names don’t Dreams. We had a load signing up to the site as soon as money was mentioned, hence the ability of the management to bin a team. There are a few old faces in there though, not mine unfortunately.
They’re FPL team names as well don’t forget Dreamers, they don’t necessarily match up with site names.
True Init.
Dreams, Sanogo is G10 on the site.
Cheers for this Elle. Anyone know who Bitter and Stout is? I’d say it’s a great name for Silvers if I didn’t already know his team name was All whites haha 😉
Its Bitterandstout on siteaswell Matt.
Hmm don’t know him to be honest.
Hey Elle – 35th place here at the moment
I made it Huth or Dare. Doubt I’ll last long with the potential -8 coming
Smash being a perfect example of that!
Yeah I certainly don’t help it’s not even close
Yup.
Dreams, if you look from 64 down, theres some big names that are not involved this season, even the community and site teams are missing.
Site team isn’t in it or it would have qualified easily. Neither is my own, not sure that one would. If you remember I asked you for the code and you refused to give it.
