I watched the first 5 rounds and formed the line-up on this basis. I'm also interested in what you think of Eriksen/Rashford and Bernardo/Mahrez/Foden.
Rashford is good pick for me, especially if Ronaldo leaves. If Ronaldo stays then I am not so sure, Martial could be shifted to that left wing and take some of his minutes.

Bernardo is not an option for me while De Bruyne is match fit, Foden/Mahrez are great picks but be prepared to suffer some benching here and there. Pep is by far the worst manager from Fantasy point of view.

Damn, yesterday I spent about two hours to decide on the composition of my team.

Glad to welcome Jayce to the pool!  Wink

Thanks mate! You are really doing a great work for arranging a fantasy football competition, especially FPL one! I believe there will be more people to join since it's much more fun than a normal prediction competitions.

I hope Ronaldo doesnt leave before his first matchday because he is... my captain lol. I know it's too early but hell just stay Ronaldo!

I'm still thinking that we can be near 15 people. By the way I agree with Trofo. It is much more beautiful to have this league among us. By the way I have changed my opinion about Haaland after the Liverpool match. Even though he couldn't score he gave a signal by having many goal possesions that he would be able to make a good contribution this year.

Only 8 entries with less than a week to go? Shocked   This is far below my most pessimistic expectations for this fantasy pool, given that we have three active Premier League topics with hundreds of posts weekly, but only eight guys have decided to put their money where their mouth is, with the majority waiting on freebies and shit.

If i had known we'd have this many entries, i would have proposed giving this pool a holler on Twitter earlier. There's a huge FPL community there, and maybe we could have persuaded some to register here and play....idk. Literally, nobody knows what SuperBru is, the global Prem League pool has just over 42k entries, while FPL is nearing 5mil teams at the moment....and besides fantasy leagues are just so much more fun imo.

Anyways, with the pre-season over i think i'm almost set on my team and formation but i'll wait for press conferences on Thursday and Friday before the deadline, to see if i can get some more info.
I am against advertising on other networks. This is pool for bitcointalkers and nobody else. There is also one other thing to consider - paid leagues and prizes are no longer allowed on official site. As far as I understand it they have just put that paragraph to avoid some legal reprecusions that could come their way since they don't have gambling license. But if your league is high profile and wrong person sees that.... Could end up with banned accounts and deleted league.

With quite an amount being dropped for the pool already, I expected more people, it only shows how many people are interested in this sport, perhaps it's gambling they're somewhat against ?  The premier league prediction pool itself which less tricky and not  too time consuming is still a bit short of 50 users, but once the league start you can check how many unique users will have opinion about every single game, lol.

I've only used FPL original platform twice before or so, but I'm using this as an extra motivation to at least play until the end, I've actually never understood most of the chips, at least until this time around, I just use them whenever I remember to, I know FPL is rather more popular at least due it being the official one, but vast majority of the pools aren't paid ones (at least most that I've seen over the years), rather sponsored, but the turn ups are always indeed massive.

Hopefully, we'll get 2 more users to make it 10 right ?

I found it very difficult to choose my midfielders and attackers, but I will try as soon as possible to choose a group before the start of the season. Not much time left. I guess I wouldn't bother with allocating a huge budget to Salah. I'll look for another player. Any hint?

If you're not going for Salah, you wouldn't want to waste the Liverpool players allocation, you know they'll be title contenders so it would only make sense to get all 3 players you can from Liverpool, I'd fancy Luis Diaz, Mane's gone so he should definitely secure the spot on the left wing for Liverpool, and he's 5m cheaper than Salah that'd give you some budgets to work with.

My major problem is from the midfield department, some relatively average midfielder seem rather too costly but I'd like to have one or two of them, since I've decided to do away with KDB.
There is al lot of cheap midfielders which should do great. Here is a few from top of my head.

Rashford is just 6.5M, he could make a mockery of that peize tag. Martinelli is 6M and should do well, Neto is 5.5 and by far best entry to Wolves attack. Baily is just 5M and should have a secure spot in Villa.

is there a team without him?
Salah, of course, would be a diamond in my team, but to be honest, I’m thinking about spending free money on strengthening midfielders.

I don’t want to pay 13% of the entire budget for Salah.  Cry
I believe that is wrong way to look at it, it is all about points in the end and there is about 65% Salah ownership. Vast majority of those who have Salah will captain him in the first few feeks. That means if you go without him you risk falling behind and that is not easy to overcome in fantasy.

You have to have some other premium to captain then, do you trust Kane, Haaland, Son or De Bruyne more than Salah? That is all that matters.

Only position I have problem with this season is 3rd striker, I would prefer 4.5M one but they are all extremely bad and will not get any minutes. In the end I will just settle on one with low ownership. Don't want to loose money on bench filler position when people start to sell them.

I'd probably (currently do) have Salah in, but not having Salah early on might not be overly costly, it will depend on other premium member he'd rather have and its effect on his entire team plan/budget, because once you have Salah, you're likely not going to sub him out all season long regardless of his performance unless he gets injured or you need another premium member who have better sets of next couple of fixtures.

My team has been set for from the beginning but I am tinkering with it every couple of days.
~snip

my team is also ready, and I will probably join the pool next week, before the competition starts
this season I am also going with Salah (is there a team without him?), but will also try different tactics comparing to last season

hopefully, we will have an interesting fight, although there are more experienced players, and that is more important here than in Superbru

My team has been set for from the beginning but I am tinkering with it every couple of days. What can I say, I see friendly results and immediately have to tinker with some players I am not 100% set on.

I feel like this is the year when it is really easy to do good team. Prices have been so generous that I am spoilt for choices. It was always a compromise in past seasons and I had to put up with 4 or 5 players just cause I couldn't pay for what I really want. This time around I could make 3 teams probably if I could pick Trent and Salah in all of them Smiley

I don’t know about you guys, but I slowly began to form a team (so far I have decided only on the defenders).

I spent a couple of hours on it earlier today, and I thought pick a team would pretty much easy for but it was far from it, I guess that's got to do with playing for something, I really couldn't come to a clear decision about both my choice of formation to start with a couple of other players, I'm glad I didn't wait for the final minute before trying to put a team together, it would have been a nightmare to say the least.


GL all, I know only 2 guys I'm having in my team, the rest I'm going to try and be real smart about.

Same here with, at least for now.

I will regret this, but I've just joined this pool. I mean, why not, dumb luck has won me stuff before, maybe here too? Have a seriously hectic next few weeks so forgive me if I don't get my early picks in =D
