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]

Morning all come on guys you are giving me a bad name no wait that might be me :smiling:
Morning mate – just got in? :big-lol:
Loved the Ramblings articles, thanx guys.
Did Ali to Hazard earlier, couldn’t ignore his performances any longer.
So now need to decide which big 3 To go with up front?
Currently have Defoe / Ibra / Costa
Reluctant to lose either tbh.
Probley wait and see how Kun goes.
I’d stick with those for the time being Bigz. They’re 1, 2 and 3 in the forwards points so far so no panic really!
Just noticed I made it through The Reugulars first round cup.
Cool.
