Official Fantasy Premier League 19/20 is GO!

Congrats to the winner - whichever forum member that is - overhauling me on the final day after being at the top of the pile since MD2.

This season has been difficult. Playing in paid games in other comps, I must have missed putting a team in for about eight matchdays in FPL, and didn't touch the side for about the first three weeks after lockdown. I think that may preclude my involvement next season, but thanks to MissChief setting this game up and those who played. It was good to have a competitive free game with lots of users involved. The main improvement I'd like to see to FPL is auto-subbing from the bench if a member of the XI doesn't feature at all. It makes having a bench all but redundant, and there is so much rotation in the game now there are too many variables.

No worries and the game does auto-sub if your first bench player creates a valid formation. If not it'll look to the second then the third. So if you have a back five and a midfielder doesn't play and your first Sub is a defender they won't come on as you can't have six at the back so it looks at your second sub. If they were a midfielder or a forward and it resulted in a valid formation they'd be subbed on.

This is why I prefer the official premier league fantasy football

Has everyone done there teams yet?

 

[McBain]

Aye did mine weeks ago, I've been tinkering with it since as transfers go through mind.

With some teams not having an opining day fixtures its hard to get a long term team im happy with. I don't want to have to use my wildcard straight away either, so may have to take the hit of not having 11 point scoring players for the first week.
