BOF Posted August 3, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 3, 2022 A lot of the above could be achieved by overhauling the bonus points system. A combination of factors including expanding how many you get, how many players get them and how the BPS number itself is calculated. The thing is this might be something they have done and we wouldn't know. The calculations are kept secret even though the FPL community have worked out largely how it happens. But it could change and we wouldn't know until someone crunched the new numbers and figured it out all over again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 3, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 3, 2022 Current dilemma is James or Perisic. I prefer Perisic's first 6 fixtures and prefer Spurs in general. Also do I want Ramsdale blocking me from a 3rd Arsenal outfielder (if Saka goes off on one), and finally my mid-price midfield punt. Currently Grealish, but could be anyone from Neto to Sancho - and could be 8.0 if I go down to Raya. I feel like Steve Bruce. I've 3 leftbacks in my starting 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bonus for low ownership players is already there. They're low owned so you gain more from it than going with a template option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to wonder if he even starts against Saints and then is away at Chelsea after that. I might take a wait and see with him for the first two GWs, which of course means he'll score 40 points over that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouUnastanFren Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Just made a first draft and it's very defence heavy. Can't seem to fit Kane or Son in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tells me he starts against Saints. I don't expect him to get 90 minutes. Conte fullbacks rarely do. I agree with some of the analyses on twitter that Conte is just lowering the expectations on his player rather than suggesting he won't play.

I'm currently 5 atb with Perisic the cheapest. They're basically 5 wingers who get goal involvements though. Can't really justify putting similar funds into what would be other wingers who score less for a goal and way less for a clean sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAA, Robbo, Cancelo, James and Perisic I might still go back but I think 5 is maybe overkill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 3, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 3, 2022 And remember, a defender needs a 4.5 mid where a mid can have a 4.0 defender, so the money goes slightly further in midfield, although it does need to because there's good value at 4.5 in defence. It's just that you're not comparing a 5.5 defender with a 5.5 mid. You're actually comparing him with a 6.0 mid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouUnastanFren Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I've just seen that Leicester have both of their potential keepers at 4.0 so I'm ditching Ederson and downgrading defence a bit and squeezing in Son or Kane. 3 premiums might be overkill but I can really see Spurs having a good start.

Yeah if you're 0.5 off a premium it's probably worth the risk. I won't be doing it because I get slightly claustrophobic knowing I'm completely locked into Leicester and only Leicester goalkeepers until my first wildcard or without an overhaul, and I don't trust them at the back*. EDIT : Saying that, I do have Ward in for week 1 because he plays against my other goalkeeper and I have more faith in Vardy than Toney. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted August 3, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) My current thinking. A few punts in there and 0.5m in the bank. Tmrpted to spend it but can't see anything I like right now. Maybe Vvd to Robbo but I'm not sure there'll be that much difference in total points and 0.5m could be useful.
