2016-17 Fantasy Premier League

Hi all,

Just thought I would pop on to let you know that a v2 Fantasy League has been set up, so make sure to join up to see if you can beat the rest of the people on here.

The code for the league is 1016889-422349

Also, this year, we have set up a head to head league, where you get fixtures against other players, so you might as well join this one as well!

The code for the league is 1016889-422526

They can both be joined here - https://fantasy.premierleague.com

Good luck!

v2

Picked Smith based on him moving to Bournemouth and playing more. Originally tried to fit in both Kane and Aguero, but balance of the side was all off.

Nice one Crimey.

I've just auto selected for now.

Could this topic be pinned?

I've joined.  Not sure I like the new look.  Also can't work out how to change captains and vice captains!

Edit - You have to click the info button of a player then select them for cap or vice cap.

Click on the shirt of the player you want and then select make captain/vice captain

Done my team don't know how to do what crimey did so shall just say who i picked

Butland,Stones,Dann,Daniels,Mahrez,Ozil,Xhaka,Bolasie,Berahino,Aguero & Lukaku with Foster,Shaqiri,Williams & Robertson on the bench.

My team:

How do you remove players after autoselcting a team?

Go to the transfers Tab Hero.

Then click the yellow X next to them on the top left of the shirt and then select the replacement from the list on the right.

Walcott is a brave choice, can't see him playing much this year.

Meh, I always lose at these things anyway.

Janssen and Batshuayi?!

Going with two back up forwards is braver than picking Walcott.

I'm expecting both of them to get a decent amount of game time personally.

I'd be surprised, I imagine both Chelsea and Tottenham will pay one forward at a time. Kane and Costa will be first choice. So you might get lucky and they get injured, but otherwise I think they won't play much. In fact I think Batshuayi will only last a year at Chelsea when he gets annoyed at a lack of game time.

I reckon Costa's days are still numbered at Chelsea. Bats though is one of Conte's first buys so he'll be wanting to use him.

What about if Conte plays 3-5-2

Forgot to say that its all free to join!

Are you not doing a SportsBru (or whatever they call themselves this time) predictions league?

Its doubtful as last time literally 2 people finished week 5 then nothing

However could set up a super six league on Sky Sports website

Ok well I have a spare unthemed SuperBru pool if anyone is interested

Pool name: Yet another pool

Pool code: skuabash

Don't get to come on here very often now but I have joined. It's always good for a laugh.....as long as I remember to make my changes!

Adam, did you not notice my thread on this already?

Sorry Milkyt - didnt see it!

It's cool, don't think there is an option to merge the leagues at all, that would be helpful in this situation.

Just seen it mate - I would merge the threads but without having seen it, I dropped every member an email about this one!

I have joined your one as well but maybe we could merge the two threads?

Bugger - I changed the OP to remain consistant but deleted your code without thinking!

Would it be worthwhile to message the ones in your league to join the other one?

Cheers guys - I've joined the league

I'll try and do it later if I can, only on mobile access now.

I've joined. Don't know which ones I'm in though.

I've joined the one that was emailed to all members - team is Champ Man Legends.

Usually my Fantasy Football is a complete disaster so if you want to make some money then put bets on the opposite of my team picks!

Opening round last season my bench made more points than my entire starting 11 combined...

Ok - just so I'm clear, what's the code for the league I'm going to win?

im in, mooreys magic army. won this league couple of times. cant remember how i did last season but wasnt my best. waiting for Leicester to fall away was a bad choice

Remember and join FES - I always beat you at the rugby ones so lets see if you're any better with football! Code in the OP (main league and a head-to-head if you want to join that)

You have until 11.30 to get a side in for Week 1

Still thinking of Ighalo or Defoe before the deadline

A familiar face in last place after the first gw

What about at the top?

Just some guy who got lucky playing one of his bonus cards

There's a phrase for that Trebs, it's a marathon not a sprint

That's by far the best opening round of the season I think I've ever had - 59 points!

I have got Joe Hart though, who isn't getting played, and Jack Butland, who is injured until September, so my goalkeeper options aren't looking too good!

I don't know if lucky is the right word - 27 points isn't a great return for a triple captain card!

Tip for keepers.. 

If you buy Joe Hart for example then it's a good plan to get Caballero as well as you know if Joe Hart isn't playing then Caballero will be playing so guaranteed points although i wouldn't always recommend higher costing goalkeepers due to budget and wanting the outfield players.

I've never tended to go for more expensive keeper but I had enough money left to get Joe Hart so thought it would be worth the extra 0.5-1M compared to other keepers. Obviously not!

My immediate thoughts turned to De Gea but I've already got 3 Man U players (Valencia, Martial, Rooney) and they had a good opening round.

I made a slight sacrifice as none of my subs got any points so I replaced Ayew for Lamela and got rid off Gamboa and Wasilewski for Naughton and Amat.

Ayew out for four months. How many of you lot had him?
