Wouldn't surprise me if they give everyone an extra free hit or widlcard after the world cup though I've seen people banding around on Twitter some new scoring systems. Like the ability to spend 30 points to buy an extra wildcard and that kind of thing. I think that overcomplicates things a bit to be honest But re-allocating players and price hikes wouldn't constitute a change to the game. That happens every year to one degree or another. I think there'll be more than that. At the very least there'll be some chip changes I think. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a not-insignificant change to the bonus point system. I'd also like something that made defensive mids more relevant to the game. A BPS change could accomplish that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted May 25, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted May 25, 2022 The must haves will be very price dependent. Everyone is saying Haaland but what if he's £13m+ and he takes a little while to adjust to the league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Champions League record suggests he will come good but the Premier League is a different style to Bundesliga where the lower level teams still tend to attack and leave space to run into. Just look how Sancho has struggled last season and Werner and Havertz before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just naturally hesitant for any City player (especially a new signing) based off Pep doing weird things and the guaranteed rotation. If he is £13m or more that's a lot of money for someone who might only play 25 to 30 league games based off rotation for Europe. Will he outscore a cheaper Kane who will likely play a lot more games? Before you consider any potential injuries Haaland might pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you consider any potential injuries Haaland might pick up. the rotation aspect is a definite concern. another thing to factor is the 5 subs. i'll probably be going big on defense and probably GK too on the basis that midfielders/strikers are more likely to be subbed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I also play a draft game on a site called Draft Fantasy. The site itself isn’t great with live updates etc but a great rule they have is ‘Kante points’. 1 point per 3 tackles/interceptions. Makes DMs much more viable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 If they make it so you can change your captain on different days of the GW I'm likely done with it, so I hope they don't do that. I want to set on the deadline and that's the end of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 27, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 27, 2022 Yeah I’d hate that. They did that for the Fantasy Euros last year. Made it so much easier. There was no real jeopardy in captain choices, just enabled you to take massive gambles with relatively low downsides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
