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]

Zlatan Ibrahimovic 11.5mln
Henrikh Mkhitaryan 9.5mln

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.

Is there an android app for the site? I still can’t log on on my phone
Never used one before, what’s the point of an app for FPL? Just use browser, no? Much easier.
I concur NIN
I’ve been trying it won’t log in.
Mattx what screen are you getting when you log in , delete all your previous temp files then try again 😉
I’m getting this screen. I know asking you about computers probably isn’t the best idea but how do I delete those files?
Clear your cache. Just be sure to not clear all your passwords and auto-fill ins. If that doesn’t work, burn the phone.
Cheers NIN, I did that but it didn’t work it’s saying my operating system doesn’t trust the site.
What happens when you click on Advanced? Surely a phone cant just randomly stop you from using a site. Especially one that is a game and has no iffy content or whatever. There must be a way to override it.
Matt If you have cleared your history , you should be able to access the site try going straight in off this link
https://fantasy.premierleague.com/
Matt, can you try using another browser?
NIN – That’s what I clicked when it says it doesn’t trust the site.
Silvers – going onto the site isn’t the problem it’s when I try log in that doesn’t work
Kop – That doesn’t work either comes up with the same thing.
There has to be a way to override it, Matt. There’s just no way your phone can bar you from FPL. Doesn’t make sense. Who cares if it doesn’t trust the site, ya know? Tell it to shut up.
Not sure if this link will help Matt have a look
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95617?hl=en
Haha will do NIN, screw the phone’s feelings I want to play FPL
Another Link Matt have a look this might be better

Cheers Silvers I’ll have a look at them links now and see if it works. I’m just using my laptop to get onto the site at the moment and that’s working so it’s not my internet anyway.
Hello everyone, long time no see!
Hope this season will be better than the last and work will allow me to be around more often.
Let’s tinker, less than four weeks for the season to start! 😉
Hi albertini,
You ready to show us all the way again?
There is fun to be had in tinkering but honestly, you’ll change it every day especially as the latest ‘new-boy’ gets a hat-trick in the latest pre-season game :smirk:
Hi GP!
Sure I am! But the way sometimes is a bit too steep for my liking!
I know mate, just pressed auto-complete and left the team as is, too early to know how it will be in almost one month from now.
Hey Albertini come on get tinkering , yes I’m sure most peoples teams will change if they set them up now but that’s all part of the fun ‘ve already changed mine 3 times :smiling:
Albertini,
Yeah just do what Silvers does. You won’t go far wrong! :see-no:
Won’t bother with my team before the end of the month!!
For me, Martial is a must this season, don’t know about you guys!
Also like the look of Shaw and Baines in defence.
Hey Burnsy right now I’m thinking Mickey but Martial being set as a midfielder is really appealing.
Burnsy,
When you look at Martial’s score last season (141) then yeah that being reflected to a midfielder’s points is well worth consideration. The uplift of his goals to a midfielder’s rate and potential clean sheets now certainly will warrant consideration.
Everton do have fair fixtures to start with and hopefully having a defender as manager now, and anyone apart from Martinez some would say, could help them tighten up.
Just tried my hand on for first time, didn’t like the interface much though ! Btw hope I can join regulars league this season
Startaegy will be going on for packed heavy Midfield for me, no costly defenders as with the amount of talented mids and forwards I don’t see much CS potential except Man Utd and City defence. DOn’t ask me about Lenihan
A heavy midfield does appear to be the way to go on the face of it but we need to make sure the new guys all settle well and play consistently Snookie.
Ok 2m left in bank any suggestions :smiling:
Tell me who your bank manager is !
Hahaha I second that one!!
Ahh! So life has we know it will now resume! Great !! Cookie mate many Thx for this little piece. I am a bit under the water this week so this helps a lot to get us going! Your mate Henrik surely deserves a thought, even with that expensive tally. Cheers.
Don’t drown DMC noooo!
