FPL launch 2016/17 – New Rules and Player Pricelist

imageFinally 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.

  1. Well had a little mess around with a team, and first impression is that its going to be very tricky. So many great midfielders with big price tags might be a good thing, atleast for differential between teams anyway. Really liking Jay Rodriguez for £6.5 and down as a midfielder.

    • That’s a really great shout for J.Rod but my only worry would be is will he play or better yet stay fit?

    • Hey Ant

      I agree. Stick in your five best midfielders and try to craft the rest of your team. Tough nigh-on impossible!

      I mentioned J-Rod on the other page. Strange one.

  2. Well that’s a relief! Nice one Cookster :thumbup:

  3. Hey everyone! Nice to be back.

    Really liking how mobile-friendly the new FPL site is.

    Here’s a quick first attempt: lacks attacking Everton / Chelsea coverage, risky midfield, but a good 7 or 8 of these lot I’m fairly set on already… that’s been wrongly said before many times though I’m sure!

    • Nice to see some teams going up James see you have the big 2 don’t know a couple of these players , I like the front 3 cant get KDB in my team yet but going to be a big player this season , Sig & Albrighton good isn’t Feg a def mid player & I don’t know Ado.
      I assume your hoping Stones gets his TF other 3 ok again don’t know much about Friend.
      Lots of CS for UTD this season & good back up GK , although I might have choose CRY GK good start

      • Silvers, good to hear from you, nah Feghouli’s a winger by trade I think! Certainly attacking… I think 5.5m could be brilliant value.

        I’m having KdB locked in for the time being. Are you going to splash out on Ibra initially?

        • Im good James & no I’m not taking Ibra like the look of Mkhit as my attacking Utd cover I will tey & find a way for KDB & yes your right att mid or winger 😉

    • James,

      I wonder if this new signing van der Hoorn is signed for Fernandez’ competition. Williams and one other in the back four I think.

      Nice to see Sigurdsson in there.

      • GP, thanks for that, need to have a good peruse of all the transfer activity when I get back to England…

        Williams is usually worth that extra 0.5m for the bonuses anyway. Where would you scrape it from?

        • Assuming you plan on using DDG always (like I have in my first draft), then how about Boruc to Jakupovic (4.0)?

        • Sounds a plan for now GP! Though, the mental torture of tinkering has already begun, cus now I see Baines / Coleman worth the 0.5m over Stones… laugh

    • @James, good to see you are set in fpl, now go fix your mls team!! :hippo:

  4. WTF? This new site is fucking ugly!

    • Agreed, i don’t like it at all. Found numerous things i hate already. Oh well, they were bound to make a balls of it at some stage i suppose.

      • What’s up NiN me old pal?

        Tell me what you don’t like and I’ll sort it.

        • Hey GP. Eh, it might be quicker to tell you what i do like!

          I like that the game has launched. That’s it. Rest is pretty horrible really. Disappointed the rules haven’t changed too. Oh well.

        • NiN

          I agree that a little jolt was needed and to see a different chip even would have been nice. Long-term I want a more fair and reflective bonus point system. If I could get that I wouldn’t complain about another thing.

          Having worked my way through it (only on mobile so far) I am not hating it though.

  5. Hi guys! Back. Would’ve loved to be a regular last season but exams got in the way. ::(: I’m back this season though and with no exams plan to be here all year round. Here goes…

    • Oops forgot to sub on some players. You get the idea. :smiley:

    • Hazardo, afternoon, nice how you’ve fit Hazard in there!

      If you’re gonna pay out for Sturridge (not sure I would initially) then, regardless of the fixtures, he’d have to keep Fletcher on the bench.

      Are you that confident in Mahrez and Payet?

      • Yeah Sturridge will play, forgot to sub him on. I have faith in Mahrez and see Leicester getting european football again even after selling Kante. I don’t feel like I can doubt Payet after the euros although I may end up going Payet -> Miki until Payets tricky games are over and Mikis easy ones though I’m not sure about brand new signings.

    • Hi Hazardo,

      Hope the exams went well mate and good to see you back. Any contribution you can make when you can is welcomed here.

      Hernandez of Hull was in red hot form at the end of the season. That is interesting.

    • Hazardo GK rotate nicely 5 cheap Def all should rotate one way or other. Haz , Payet & Mahrez pick themselves , Dier & Flet don’t rotate would change one.
      Kun is he a must could be , cheap 3rd str which leaves Sturr I wouldn’t start with him maybe Bats or Costa good start

      • O.k. So I’ve heard about Sturrige a couple of times. Any reason not to pick with Liv’s front 5? Honestly don’t know. Will change Flet although don’t plan on rotating Dier much and I think (defence wise) rotation is the only way to go this season.
