Since we now have Fantasy Premier League pool and I expect most if not all of us here to sign up, I will lock this thread. No point in having two threads on the forum for something as niche as fantasy. Even if you don't sign up, we can still shift all Fantasy conversations to that thread.

I did not like the requirement to have player/s from a specific team locked into your squad for the entire season. Watford had no relevant fantasy players, so it was a pain in the ass to choose between flops. I'm quite sure i lost 10-20 points just from transfers while juggling between Foster, Sissoko, and King/Dennis. It's a bad concept, and imo, they should just write that rule off from future leagues. The winner of Sportsbet's Clubhouse league won Stake's main league, and i'm pretty positive he didn't have any Watford players in the last 10 game weeks or so, as i was actively monitoring everyone in the top 10.
Stake had 3 leagues last season. VIP league where you have to send 5 $ tip to enter, free league without any conditions and Watford league which was free but you had to have a Watford player. You sure that you were checking Watford league and not one of the others?I am playing with 1 keeper so I don't have any problem with that rule if the team in question has a 4M reserve keeper.
this one with Everton player during whole season is for me
joke aside, did not enter my squad yet, but Haaland will be central player probably, not sure still dough, have to see Tottenham squad as well
Last season it was Watford player in your team. I had second keeper @4.0 mil from Watford first half of the season and then when I saw i have no chance in that league I moved on. Really high average score in that league. A bit surprising for me, when I take into account how well I did in other leagues I competed in.joke aside, did not enter my squad yet, but Haaland will be central player probably, not sure still dough, have to see Tottenham squad as well

So much for my locked players, Haaland is probably out of my plans and same goes for James/Chilwell. Perišić is also on a limb since he is still recovering from injury. At the moment Kane and Robertson look like better choices and that means exchanging Dias with Foden/Mahrez
I still have Haaland in my draft but am contemplating the idea of having a Man U mid based on those 45mins against Liverpool...

I'll try and make Steve organize something official on their site. Last year it was by far my most profitable league. Stake will have 2 leagues for sure, one paid and one free, probably even a third one where you have to have Everton player during whole season.

having all said, last year I was down in the beginning due to many Everton/Arsenal players, and Vardy in the team, but this season would go more with players that are within other squads as well, consistency brings good result, not picking players that could make wonders one round, and be quiet for several rounds afterwards, it is really picky to find that one when they shine
FPL 2022/23 is now live, the website was updated a few hours ago. We can actually start making drafts now that player prices have been adjusted. Haaland at 11.5 mil looks nice, he is a lock for me to start the season.
I was able to scoop a reasonably low ID this year, around 31k...as opposed to my seven-digit ID last year lol...not that it matters, but it looks better that way.
Anything on that front? I'm down if we get 5 to 10 people, don't matter if the league has a sponsor or not.
Never understood that drama about catching low ID. Couldn't care less what my ID number ends to be I was able to scoop a reasonably low ID this year, around 31k...as opposed to my seven-digit ID last year lol...not that it matters, but it looks better that way.
I am a bit afraid Sportsbet will not have Fantasy league next season but I already started pulling strings and offering some help to see if we can organize something. I love Fantasy and I play in several leagues every season. The more the better.

That being said I already entered my squad as well, so I will at least have a number in low millions.My locked in players are probably: Haaland, Dias, Arnold, Perišić and James/Chilwell. Some Arsenal coverage for beginning will be in for sure.

I'm in. Although I will look into this thread much less often than before.
Also, guys, please give a link to all the pools in which you participate (especially sportsbet).

Trofo, I'm sorry but the last few months I haven't been up to football. Yes, I am from Ukraine and from those places where for some time it was quite tense. By the way, I'm sorry that you did not manage to get into the top 10, although I really hoped that you would be on horseback this season. Next season (if everything goes well) I will also take part and will not make those mistakes that we have discussed with you for the last half a year.
Glad to hear from you at least.I was close to top 10 in Sportsbet but not good enough in the end but I managed to clinch one monthly award and couple of weekly awards while they were still dishing them. Also I managed to get into top 10 in Stake league so that is another free 50$ which always come handy.

Haha crap yeah, I think I was actually doing well in first few game weeks, but wasn't yet in the gear to properly make picks, and then gave up some time after that, even though found myself still ahead without changing teams for a while.
Used to play Fantasy in office with some friends but that time seemed easy breasy, we all made picks, as I recall, together on Friday back when social media wasn't really on anyone's plate.
It's going to be hard for me to make it a habit with such an increasing amount of shitty things to take up my time, but I'll definitely make a stab at joining if I remember (well done morvillz!).

I only found this thread a few days ago but didn't want to post here till the final gameweek was complete. I had a position to defend and didn't want to jinx myself...lol
How did everyone's year go, what is your overall rank, and did you guys win your mini-leagues?
This was my first time playing FPL, and i must say i quite enjoyed it, OR 31k (2576 points), which isn't bad considering everything. Going triple Chelsea for -8 in GW34 was one of my worst decisions all season, forcing me to sell Son, and preventing me from getting Maddison. They both hauled like crazy after that, 100+ point swing based on one lousy move. There is a lot of room for improvement for me next season, starting with taking less hits and not making kneejerk early transfers.
I finished third in Sportsbet's Clubhouse League, and i was wondering if anyone else from the forum made the TOP 10 (paid positions)? I think i recognized buwaytress and Steve's accounts, but they both give up on playing after only a few gameweeks.
We should absolutely make a forum mini-league next season!

I played my Bench Boost chip this DGW36 and I got 121 points,
I’m currently leading my mini leagues.
I am also on bench boost and was perfectly happy, green arrowing up the tables until DeBruyne show yesterday. I am gonna hazard a guess and conclude that you have DeBruyne in your team and probably even as captain.I’m currently leading my mini leagues.
I am on 100 points without him in the team, so as good as it could be.

Anybody still playing this except for me? This is a thoug week, only 4 games so I activated free hit. So far so good, I had three wolves players and managed to end up with -2 points What is worse that actually ended up ok for me since some players got it even worse.
@icopress
Just saw your personal text. So are you really from ukraine or just giving support? Hope you and your family are fine man, can't even imagine how it is in Ukraine right now.

I sympathize that three of your players never played a single minute, in my team only Fabio remained out of the game, (I guess while there is a possibility, Klopp decided to give a rest to some players before the next match). Nevertheless, you are in an acceptable position as you have the possibility of replacing four players, + free transfer + 1 paid transfer. If I were you, I would think about taking one of the attacking Southampton, Aston Villa, Newcastle in the future, since all these three teams have a chance to win in the upcoming round, moreover, immediately after that these teams have double game weeks.
I didn’t have a single chip left for this until the end of the season, I will slowly either go down in the ranking or go up (by the way, the first part of the round brought me 57 points, but six players still have one match to play). This is what my team will look like next game week + 3 Liverpool players in reserve.

Big double game week in front of us, should be plethora of points. Best games for Liverpool and Arsenal but be careful both of them are not playing next week so you have to have a plan in place, you can just bench 4 of them. No matter I went with 3xArsenal and 3x Liverpool and then I will decide weather to free hit or not next week.
If you still have tipple captain chip this is the week to use it on Salah. There has never been a better double in history of PL - Norwich and Leeds - both at home. Can't get better than that. I don't think there will be a serius team without captaining Salah and having Arnold. Third Liverpool place is up for grabs and I took Robertson, Van Dijk is maybe more nailed but less potential and Jota is a slight injury concern.

(I think Dennis or Edouard as both will play twice).
Dennis is probably more nailed but my pick is Edouard. Have them both at the moment. Pallace is playing much more attacking football and Watford has decided to go the route of parking the bus. Their new manager, Roy Hodgson, opted for defensive approach so I am looking to remove Dennis from my squad soon. It could open up some picks in Watford defense though, and they are dirty cheap.Bernardo Silva stopped being an option the moment De Bruyne got back. He is playing more deep and he lost big deal of his offensive duties. I am expecting him to continue getting 2-3 points per game for the rest of the season.
So... there are about 400 points of difference between me and the first place, but I'm not upset because it was my first gaming experience.
Preparing for the upcoming games, I still leave Bernardo captaining as he hasn't scored in a while and Manchester City have some pretty easy games ahead of them. (unfortunately I can't afford De Bruyne, because seeing that MU had a double game week, I preferred Ronaldo). I also got rid of the Arsenal goalkeeper by replacing him with Sánchez (for at least 4-5 weeks). So most of the players on my team are playing twice this week and next, the only thing I'm not sure is who to replace Maupé after the weekend (I think Dennis or Edouard as both will play twice).
