This is the thread for the discussion of all things fantasy football. For all of those who are new, it is fairly simple. Simply go onto http://fantasy.premierleague.com and create an account. Select your Premier League squad from a budget of £100m and then join the TSR League!
The only rules for joining are:
1) You must post your team name in this thread or by sending me (sr90) a private message. If you fail to do this before GW1 you will be removed from the league. This does not apply to people who have joined our league in previous years.
2) To ensure that this is a league for TSR regulars, you must have 50 posts on the site which can come from any where on the web-site. These 50 posts must be made by the end of September. Exceptions can be made.
3) The league will close to new entrants at the end of GW5. After this period, no new teams will be admitted, although you are still welcome to post in the thread and discuss all things FPL.
Previous years have had a prize awarded to the winner - THIS IS TBC
In. Really difficult selection this year with the way they've reclassified the likes of Auba and Rashford. Makes sense for how Salah, Mane and Sterling are, but it's looking like budget strikers and premium mids might be the strategy

Real lack of strikers this season. I'm on Kane, Antonio, Brewster at the moment although it's obviously dependant on fixtures and will probably change 50 times over the next 4 weeks.
Brewster (4.5) getting a Premier League loan will be absolutely perfect, if that happens he'll be everyones third striker.

Werner, Kean, Davis for me ATM, 3 premiums in midfield (Auba, Bruno, KDB) although I'll need to adjust that based on the CL and Europa League.
Surprised at the number already taking Mitrovic, at 6m we already know he's a trap, was only 2 seasons ago...
Anyone got tips on team value? Every year, by the end of the season, there are plenty of people who seem to have team values like £110mil.
I might get to like 102-103mil but I don't understand how everyone else's team values are so much higher!
Some people sacrifice points for high team values. On the Status page of FPL there is a leaderboard for team value. They all have high team values but little in the way of points.
If you want high TV you need to make early transfers. Sometimes you'll need to make transfers even before all games are played in the gameweek because if someone plays and scores heavily, guaranteed his price will have gone up by the next day, so youll need to buy him that day before he goes up in price.
I've never been too bothered about TV. While of course a higher TV is better, it's not the be all and end all. It's about finding a balance. I only make early transfers if I will be priced out of a player if he goes up.
