FPL launch 2016/17 – New Rules and Player Pricelist
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 ...[Read More]
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2016/17. Liverpool
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2016/17. Liverpool Jurgen Klopp rolled into Anfield last October on a wave of optimism and because of the work he’s previously done with Mainz & Dortmund that air of optimism still exists around Anfield. He brought Liverpool to two finals last season but lost both and has a win % of slightly over 44%. After finishing 8th last season lesser managers might already be under pressure but not our Jurgen. When Liverpool performed poorly last season it was often said that it wasn’t Klopp’s team but that excuse will not cut the mustard this season as he ...[Read More]

MLS GW18 / 19 – Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer
MLS GW18 / 19 – Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer This weeks deadline is Wed 13th July 7.00PM EDT. That’s American time – add 5 hours here in the UK! This article is a day late, and that lateness is doubly bad because GW18 will kick off around a day after this article is posted, and GW19 will kick off just two days after that. But here’s the deal, I was sick yesterday. Honestly, I never thought that people who claimed that they caught a flu in the summer were telling the truth – but I caught the flu in the middle of July. But seeing as how I am one of the eternal optimis...[Read More]
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2016/17. Manchester United
New Signings – Fantasy Premier League 2016/17. Manchester United Life is set to become more interesting for Man United fans. The dismal reign of LVG saw the Dutchman and the United fans finally put out of their misery, just hours after the club secured the FA Cup victory over Palace. The worst kept secret was confirmed when Jose Mourinho was announced as the new manager of the Reds and he has already been splashing the cash, with the business unlikely to be concluded just yet. But what will Mourinho at United mean for FPL managers? A born winner, a frustrating wall builder, the persisten...[Read More]
MLS GW16 – Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer
MLS GW16 – Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer This weeks deadline is Sat 2nd July at 1am GMT. (So Friday night basically!) Before we get into this week’s MLS issues, let’s take a brief look back at some of the craziness that happened to us during DGW15. First of all, we had four teams on a double (LA, NYRB, PHI, RSL), and we thought very highly of the prospects for those four teams. But when you look at the Dream Team for the week, you’ll see that only three DGW players actually made the list. The only LA player on the list is their goalkeeper. The only NYRB player on the list is Gideon Ba...[Read More]

MLS GW17 – Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer
MLS GW17 – Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer This weeks deadline is Sat 9th July at 1am GMT. (So Friday night going into Saturday morning basically for our UK users) As of the writing of this article, the New England v. NYC game has yet to go off to close out the previous round. But does it really matter at this point? Chances are that somebody you need from the last game of Round 16 may get benched or play limited minutes anyway, so I won’t get my hopes up (or put off writing the article any longer than I have to). And, while we’re on the subject of chances, it’s highly doubtful that you...[Read More]
