    All this non procrastinating usually on boards.ie tinkering with FPL and my GW1 team has led me to do actual work. 😅

    Hoping the community picks up a bit as I genuinely am finding it tough to use the new site. Just not on it as much and my mind feels like going on here will be a bit of an effort.

    Livramento (4.0) at Southampton could be one to watch if KWP gets injured. Potential starter but it's slim.

    Anyone thinking of starting the season without Bruno? I was on the fence about it but the EPL refs have said they are going to cut out soft penalties so that side of owning him gets a bit less attractive and his price is way up there. Im thinking of going with the cheaper Sancho instead.

    Also reassessing Werner as an option as the new offside rules now require daylight between players to be called offside. Werner set a PL record last season with 41 offsides. He plays right on the shoulder of defenders so stands to benefit the most from the end of stupid VAR decisions. I dont think I'll start the season with him because of Tuchel but reckon he could come good this season.

    Happy enough to stay on boards. Back onto FPL, last season I had some clear goals and a broad gameplan, finishing 37k. Over then next few days I will do the same again for this season. Anyone who finishes in the top 50k consistently have any tips/rules/guidelines etc that they follow during the season?

    Will Ihenacho be a rotation risk he was brilliant towards the end of last season but Vardy should start and they have signed another good striker

    That’s what’s putting me off. If they hadn’t signed Daka he’d be straight into my starting 11.

    It's not a matter of being happy or not the only reason things are being set up is in case this place goes. Fingers crossed it sorts itself out but better to plan now instead of lose eveything on the off chance that did happen.

    I was thinking the same with him will probably leave him out and see what happens. If Grealish gets much game time for city could be a hell of a lot of free kicks inside 30 yards for them this season.

    Is anyone not starting with Salah at all? Him and Shaw are about the only ones I haven't even thought about taking out so far.


    Anyone got a dark horse pick they are particularly confident about?

    Out of nowhere that's crazy! Seems like they got it all done and dusted super quick. Will be interesting to see how that works out you would have thought someone a bit bigger would have taken a short punt on him on some sort of pay as you play deal.

    I scrolled back a long way expecting this to be a fake account, did I take my finger off the pulse or is this out of nowhere?

    edit: also I guess that's Ollie out of my team

    Comments are stretching themselves across here gubu and discord. They're back ups which should be empty until boards dies. We might forget the format of this site when the first multiple games begin and the addiction returns....

    For the most part on discord we were tooling around with channels and bots to make sure it all worked, think a bunch of people have accounts but I think here is still the place to post until something happens or we lose traffic

    Seems to have been completely out of the blue! Not often we get one of those between two PL clubs!

    Yeah thats what I'm thinking this is the first port of call. Hopefully this place gets back to where it was as the season starts. Already seems to have picked up a lot in FSA at least.

    Watkins might be pushed out wide or could be rotated so he is a bit dodgy now.

    Beundia might be a better option for villa attackers now.

    They are going after Cantwell too, could be a few guys there who are fun to own

    Liking the flurry of activity in transfers, should give a lot more choice and less templatey teams. Especially if Lukaku goes to Chelsea

    I started last season without him and was playing catch up for the entire season. Never again, he was the first player in my team this time!

    Think Lukaku will be in my team if he signs. Could do alot of damage.

    Seeing alot of teams with Raphinha in them. Personally am holding off as Leeds start isn't the best on paper.

    Thoughts on Torres at City? They still haven't signed a striker so he could start up front? Might be too susceptible to rotation event though I don't think Pep see's Jesus as the answer

    It would definitely be a brave move even moreso this season where we have a few question marks about other heavy hitters.

    Would be great to see Lukaku back! Not many forwards like him knocking around these days I would be very tempted too.

    I thought this too.

    reckon Dias, and whoever his partner is, could benefit the most from this or maybe KDB.


    although I’m going to try and not own any City as the rotation is infuriating. Dias will be tempting though.


    any chance of buying Foden disappeared when they, for reasons beyond me, bought Grealish.

    Also, just to weigh in, i think talk of the site's demise are very premature. I'm certainly not happy with what they've done and find myself posting and browsing less but think the Admin team should be given time to fix things.

    It's not like the site is unusable or anything. Just needs a bit of getting used to.

    I’d say this puts an end to the Cantwell chances personally. Watkins will move to the left now.

    For those with Watkins, would Adams be an option now? 0.5 cheaper too.
