He's done for the season now anyway, might just be lying low for a few months

He works with Opta (Stats Perform). Likely he won’t be able to access feeds any time over the next while is my guess.

We get the EPL lineups about 15/20 mins before they’re released (as we’re official data providers for the English competitions). Not sure who he is but it’s likely he is just somewhere where he won’t be able to access the feeds for the next couple of weeks.

And you're volunteering to step up and sort us instead Callaway? That's so nice of you!

Couldn’t - I’d get in huge trouble if caught doing that (and there’s lads who know me that use this etc).

He said during the week his followers had grown to 50k so he had to move private
Only current followers would be be able to follow him

I was following him but seem to have been bumped

I'm surprised he takes the risk. Its not worth it.

They should move the deadline closer to kick off to solve the problem. Sky game let's you see line ups.

Is there financial value to how many people follow you on twitter like on other platforms ?

Chap is probably just taking AL from the office until end of season :pac:

Not for followers alone I don't think. Unless he started promoting things

More a case that he's addicted to the praise and attention I'd say. Hopefully he doesn't get found out, he seems like a nice guy.

I think it has grown out of control on him !
Seems genuine
Can’t be making any money out it. It’s only hassle at this stage I’d say

I don't think he has the access I'd imagine he's a fence and its coming from a friend I would think. Can't imagine anyone who does have access would risk their job for the sake of twitter.

and he's missing deadlines because of it too!

If he had a plan to sell the account it would have some value as well
Wouldn't be worth the risk of him losing his job though I'd imagine

Not really worth much without the intel. I feel he's just doing it as a favour to the FPL/Twitter world, getting a little out of hand. I can see him stopping it

Saw that the premier league is looking at keeping the transfer window open for first 6 weeks of the season. Could be a few spanners for next season (whatever that looks like)

Could hopefully give us the chance to get a real bargain if someone moves to a top 6 club after fpl ha started. Although looking at it hard to see any obvious candidates. The Grealish deal doesn't look as appealing for United now and if Traore moved to Liverpool and was priced at ~8 doesn't seem like he would be great value given the likely lack of game time.

Fairly certain he has the access.

Works better the other way.

Little known 4.0m defender from top 6 club gets a move to the likes of Palace and is a regular starter.

Much like yourself just seems crazy for anyone with direct access to do it. Are the timings match when the data comes through to yourselves?

It all depends on when the teams send them in tbh but ya, generally they'd be in 7-15 mins before the 60 minute mark (in particular in case new players need to be added to the system before squad releases 60 mins before KO)

The 5 sub rule could be the new norm - up to each countries FA whether they want to adopt it or not.

I would prefer to keep the 3 sub rule myself, both for football and also FPL!

Seen on Reddit that Barack Obama is following Ben Crelling. Checked myself and he actually is.

Although he does follow 600k people

Individual leagues are to decide for themselves

It will make a massive change to fantasy footy if this is implemented in premier league, The magic 60mins bonus might be harder to get to for players, it may be more than pep doing roulette with his squad.

Well if he wants to finally get one over on that nerd Buttegieg in his ML, he needs to be prepped on the DGWs well in advance.
