Hi guys, welcome back to another big year of FPL. Maybe Rusty will beat me this season, but I doubt it  :P

The code is:

Good luck for season 2016/17!

Literally 0% chance you play out the whole season. Don't think you realise how long it is  :P

Is this the one run by Virtual Sports?

Haha I was probably going to give this season a miss as like you said it's a long season and takes up a fair bit of time to stick it out and was trying to spend less time on fantasy sports.

You may have just given me a reason to play again though to try and beat you ;)

Nah the one on the premier league website :)



I haven't played for two seasons now and was considering playing for this season, such a tough decision I know I won't stick it out though ahhhhhhh.... Will make up my mind over the week lol

I've played the last few seasons and have got progressively further into the season each time. The season goes for like 9 months, yeah?

Think you were winning before you bailed as well, pretty strange way to go about it!!

Some good team name puns I have seen...

"Holding Matip"

"Ayew Holding Matip"
  ;D  ;D  ;D

Haha won't be disappointed if you choose not to play, just remember that you never could beat me though  ;D  :P

I'll be the first person to post their team.



So how far off track am I? From what I take from the scoring, wingers generally score better than those in the middle? I feel like I'm spending too much on the forwards at the cost of he mids, with the kids really falling away after Hazard/Payet.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

[PowerBug]

I'm outta the loop with EPL knowledge but from looking at the prices there's not much worth spending on in the mids. I've gone with 3 huge strikers; Ibra, Sturridge and Aguero (May change Aguero though) and it kinda toils away from there. I'll look into the scouts articles during the week and see what I can find.

I think looking into projected finishes and early draws are important, there's no point in trying to find any more than 3 players that you can say you plan to hold for the entire season, the rest should be based on the draws in the first 5-10 MatchDays.
