I'd like to see BB removed. Maybe 1st half of the season you get a WC, TC and FH and then another WC, TC and FH in the second half. You can't carry them over, use them or they are lost. They also must do something for the winter break and the 5 subs.
The premier league is bading in Cash. The premier league should put some cash into monthly prizes, and make it an exciting monthly Game. cash prize per month, 1st 100k, 2cnd 50k, third 20k all the way to 100th = £100 :).
I'd love some sort of 'limitless' chip similar to the Euro's Fantasy League where instead of having to have the same squad value on a free hit you can just pick any team. Would be interesting because I doubt the highest value squad would ever be the best scoring team and would make a free hit more interesting. Should also implement a better cup where you have a completely different squad for each round of the cup, the cup is so irrelevant atm because you're not gonna compromise your whole squad for one week in the cup.
Must admit, limitless is just not for me, I like free hit giving you a bit extra if you've built up a bit of squad value, but if they introduce it I'll work with it.
I'd add a chip called "Best eleven" ™ . A chip to use when you're unsure on the best starting team. You would accrue the best scores from your highest scoring 11 players in your squad.
Not gonna lie I absolutely hate any ideas in FPL that gets you points automatically. That's no fun. I may hate losing and making bad decisions but that's exactly what makes it competitive and any fun. Getting points picked out for you should not at all be a thing.
@@jarenlee8229 You still have to choose the best time to use it, just like any other chip. ALl of the chips are basically guaranteed extra points, I don't really see how it's any different
I’d like an ‘Undo transfer’ chip. There’s always at least one transfer you regret doing during a season e.g. moved early to beat a price rise and then later in the week before the GW deadline find out they’ve got injured or early team news says they’re not starting or just changed your mind. Having one would be like having a get-out-of-jail-free card.
A two captain chip would be a lot more interesting than the triple captain chip where you just get two instead of the triple, would then be unlikely everyone just triple captains the same player like the Salah DGW this week and then it makes very little difference...
@@IWTBF yeah and would be worth pretty much the same as the triple captain. When u think about it the triple captain is so useless when everyone uses it on the same week, and even if they don’t they’re captaining the same player anyway so you only get a 1/3 differential which could be like 5/6 points
This is the number one thing for me. I literally cannot be bothered checking these third party sites making probabilistic estimates on player price rises. Just have it flagged in the app/website that they are going to rise, 24 hours in advance.
To me the game needs to be done and no intervention once the deadline is finished. Not all people can stay engaged during the weekend to twist on a captain or sub someone in. More interactions means more people will lose interest
Why not have a fourth OPTION class of (Defensive Midfielders) that give you 2 or 3 points extra for clean sheet. Whereas Attacking Mids get the usual 1 point.
There needs to be added value to midfielders who we know aren’t going to get attacking returns because it becomes a game of luck with points in midfield outside of the big hitters
I would love the bench boost to get replaced with something like "Double Captain" which would allow you to get captain points from both your main choice and vice. It wouldn't be a go to double gameweek pick and could give players a lot of choice and potential to plan having two good captain options.
@@IWTBF yeh I get what you mean. Tbf, the context of Triple captain when you can only select one captain makes sense but the naming of this chip in hindsight is unclear. Possibly rename to “Two Captains”?
I’d like a limitless chip added one per season and also make vice captains more influential to increase the variance and make them mean something, also defenders need price rises for sure
I play Fantasy Bundesliga and there's a few things that are superior there: 1. Active management - usually there's a Friday night game, and the usual spread over Saturday and Sunday. This means you can change your captains, line-up and formation over the weekend to suit results, so if your initial selections don't quite do it you have the added excitement of sticking or twisting. 2. Positional captains - pick one for attack, midfield and defence. This is a must-have and adds more variety rather than everyone just sticking in armband on Salah. 3. Bigger range in pricing. Best players (like Lewandowski, Haaland, Nkuku) are up to 20m, but on the flipside you can get budget players as low as 1m, and some of them play. When Florian Wirtz broke through he was dirt-cheap and a must-have.
I would suggest to add points for ball recoveries like UCL fantasy... this will give some noob CDMs/defenders more value and will give fpl managers more varieties for differential picks
I'd like FPL to add points for the "ice hockey assist", giving some points (1-2 points) to the player passing the player who gets the assist. This would somewhat make CMs and DMs more viable.
1. Some horrible suggestions in there from people! Changing the captain midweek would make a mockery of the game, as would substituting players midweek. 2. Changing capped transfers should only go to 3 max. Otherwise you've a free mini-wildcard every month. 3. I do think removing vice captain is a separate conversation than removing captaincy. Captaincy is fine. You make your choice and you get your points. But you should not have the safety net of a vice captaincy. It penalises people who went more daring with their captaincy choices only to see someone else get your captaincy points with their vice captain because their safe choice didn't work. Double points should not be a guarantee and you should have to 'earn' them with (just) a good captaincy choice. 4. I think the BPS needs an overhaul and I think it should be in conjunction with making the defensive mids more relevant to the scoring. 5. The top defenders need to cost more in order to stop them being so template. If Trent isn't at least 9.0m at the start of next season then they've dropped the ball. 6. Reducing the amount of players you can own from each team down to 2 would spice things up too, although might remove some of the fun, as I guess a lot of people want to own the players they support. 7. Free hit should also be bench boost i.e. you are buying 15 playing players that week. That would also mean you have to spread your funds more thinly.
Number 1 I totally agree. Changing and twisting on your captain and or sub is a terrible idea. If your player doesn’t play that’s where you have an automatic sub in for.
I find it mad how drastically views on FPL videos change from mid- season to post-season. Understandable why you don’t make as many Andy. Would be curious if you can see it on your side how many people get notified when you post videos and if this has changed much as well
I would revise the current allocated points: -For every GK save 1pt -For every goal conceded by GK/DEF -1pt -For a CS in the first half by GK/DEF 2pts -For a CS in the second half GK/DEF 2pts -For a CS in the first half by MID 1pts -For a CS in the second half MID 1pts -For each assist 3pts -For each goal scored by all positions 5pts And I would add these exciting new scoring categories: -For the winning goal 3pts -REMOVE the 3,2,1 Bonus points system, and instead have... -3pts to winning players -1pt to players drawn -0pt to losing players This would value players from MCI or LIV, whilst teams like TOT that may have lost 2-3, won’t get extra points despite Son/Kane scoring goals. Example: De Bruyne Minutes played 90 2pts Clean sheet halves 2 2pts Assists 1 3pts Goals 1 5pts Winning goal 1 3pts Team win 1 3pts TOTAL 18pts
Changing captains midweek and during the week is problematic for loopholes. It means you can set your vice captain to someone who plays first and if they score well you can change the captain to someone who doesn’t play.
Best thing about dynamic starting prices would be goalkeepers at the start of the season as well. Nearly everybody who is into FPL will have the same 4.5m keeper while there could be a lot more even spread of keepers being selected if you have starting keepers at different prices
Something similar is in AFL fantasy. Each player has a price at the start of the year and has a break even points threshold that they must meet to go up or down in price. What ends up happening is ‘rookie’ players who start at 4 mil may rise to 5.5 mil, where you can sell them when their break even is too high and bank 1.5 mil.
I’d like to see more chips that have less of an effect, like a chip that doubles the amount of points goals get, or triple the points saves get, something spicy
The goalkeeper save points I think need looking at. A few times where a teams lost 4-1 and the gk has come out with half decent points because he’s saved a few pea rollers. Also bonus points system, can’t let Trent get all 3 bonus just for turning up.
Saw something on this channel I think that was good idea. Every player gets a bonus point for every 10 points they get in the bonus point system or something along these lines. So players who play well but just miss out can still pick up a couple of extra points
Great video. A couple of ideas I really loved. Three points for a hit. Yes please. Makes perfect sense. As does pricing players at, for instance, 4.7 from the get go.
Instead of changing the number of capped transfers, FPL should just give us 38 free transfers for the entire season. Use them whenever you want and once they are over, you'll have to take a 4 point hit for every single transfer
Pleeease make winning penalty separate 2pts (keeping regular assists as 3 pts), and similarly also make "converting penalty" like 3 points rather than a counting as a normal goal.
Uncapped transfers is effectively a wild card every 5 weeks. You'd have to lose the wild card chips, you couldn't have both. No to midweek subs/captain. And please yes, for the love of god, Salah et al as Forwards. It will make the game better cos you can only have 3 strikers and loads of the Premiums would be strikers. Places greater skill on picking more modest midfielders. Whoever suggested the last one was on glue. 6 defenders - not even Moyes does that
yeah I'm not a fan of that, it really levels the playing field having it capped at 2. It's nice knowing that if someone in your league has made some massive changes then you know they've taken a hit
@@MarcNash so you are almost forced to get the budget players. I want to see the template ripped up basically lol. It’s not the same 8 players with pretty much the same other 3.
Yes, DMids need love. FPL will just need to balance the point scoring so it’s not ridiculously high.positive tackle, pass percentage to be rewarded etc :)
Transfers before deadline is probably the most fun as it's a guessing game and will have to be engaged with the game so moving the deadline is not gonna work
Advanced warning, it's the accountant in me! The budget is 100m so to have players at 6.7m for example would make fewer options to ensure your team was bang on 100m I think! Maybe that's why they don't do it.. still think they should though. Great video as always Andy, cheers
1) Captain should get x1.5 points not x2. Rounded up to nearest whole number obvs. That way it still matters ,just not quite as much. 2) Litmus test for where a player ought to be is where would they be playing in a different formation. Salah is a forward, Son is a forward... if liverpool or spurs played 442 then both players would mostly feature up front so its daft to suggest they are anything other. 3) Still mad how many pointa Martinez got for for a penalty save last year where auba hit it straight in the net on the rebound. Points should be after the passage of play not just the initial shot stop
I don't think 3) is a good idea. A penalty save is a save, even if the goal is scored on the rebound by the taker, the keeper still saved the initial penalty and should be credited with such. If someone outside the box scored it after a bad clearance for example, would you still knock off the penalty save points?
Unlikely though isnt it. Most often defenders will put it out or the second shot will happen almost automatically. I forgot partly what actually annoyed me at that time was i had Auba in my team and the penalty miss halved the points for his subsequent goal. Martinez ended up with three bonus points also. All seemed quite mad given the actual penalty save was renedered unimportant immediately.
I feel like most of the proposed changes just unnecessarily complicate the game where a vast majority of people already lose interest in FPL by like week 5. I feel like the overall goal should be to keep as many people engaged as possible
But if the deadline was the kick-off of the first game, then suddenly whichever team is in that game that weekend has an unfair advantage. Better that no one has any team news about any of the games through the weekend. As it is currently.
Add to budget and have a manager position, points for win, extra for away win, points for winning by 2 clear goals then an extra point for every 2. Points suggested are examples of how manager points are awarded.
Hi Andy. I think ALL 15 players should count every week and get rid of the BB chip. That way people will have to really consider their choices as the fodder could be getting you 60pts a season!
Almost all of these are making it easier. What’s the point, it only makes it less competitive. The only thing that is needed is making the defenders more expensive or move fullbacks to midfield and wingers to forwards and adjust the squad structure accordingly.
From an IT perspective how difficult is it to run a game like FPL with millions of teams, thousands of mini leagues, millions of transfers every week, etc? Would making some of the changes suggested in this video be too difficult to implement or would it be reasonably straightforward to make some alterations?
Most fantasy games actually let you change any player before their game kicks off or starts depending on sport. There would be so much more manager engagement if we could change any player to any other player as long as THEIR match has not kicked off. We should be able to transfer at any time regardless if other games have started. It would eliminate the amount of lame duck teams from semi invested managers. #2 Play 2 GK's if you want. If you have injuries, but you have two playing GK's we should be able to start a 2nd keeper, this would also bring GK"s into the conversation more regarding 2 playing gks' as opposed to finding the 4.0 GK to sit on the bench for the season. Switching Captain is just sour grapes. Yes nailing your Captain can save a game week or whiffing can bring you a red arrow, but this is where the game separates players willing to take a risk.
Should be harder so people have to / forced to pick players they wouldn't normally have in their team. i.e your forced to have a playing 4.5 def and 5.5 mid
i think with the hit idea, it should be 3 points for 1 hit. 4 points for the 2nd and 5 points for 3+ hits. that way the more you change the more it costs each time
I would like to see a change in the Captain and Vice Captain. Captain choice earns x2 pts per week like it is now and Vice Captain earns x1.5 pts per week. It will make it more interesting when choosing C and VC.
I'm totally agreed with you most of your opinions are based on UCL Fantasy which I think strategy vise is better than FPL another thing that I would say is a good option is ball recoveries... Players like Dias or Vandijk etc have a chance to compete with popular fullbacks and they always secure 2 or 3 ball recovery points for you ... FPL really should add one of those options to make the game more balance But more transfers...? I don't think so it's a 38 weeks league and one of the majors that really matters for getting high ranks is all the strategies that you make with that transfer making it to 2 is a mistake... 2 transfers are only for shorter competition
if deadline is shifted to kickoff of 1st game, gw38 wildcard would be a thing and many minileagues would be decided on the last day and that sounds fun
• 1.5x points for Vice Captain every week. We are choosing one every week anyway. Why not have some benefit to it? • One of each chip for both halves of the season • New chip called "Best XI", which when played gives you points from the best 11 players in your squad for that gameweek. Highest scorer will automatically be the captain (and get 2x), and second highest scorer will automatically be vice captain (and get 1.5x). Doesnt need to be a valid formation. Just your 11 highest scoring players for that gameweek. • Incremental increase for cost of hits. -3 for 1 hit, -7 for 2 hits, -12 for 3 hits and -18 for 4 hits • Overhaul Cup with free hit every week but budget will always be £100M (can maybe increase as we get closer to the end of the season but never to more than £105M) • Ability to plan ahead • Bonus proportional to BPS
I’d like to see clean sheet points up to 60 minutes maybe 2 points and then a further 2 points for a clean sheet at full time, I’ve lost a lot of points from defenders letting in late goals!
I think the defensive midfielder idea is really good, it makes for more different teams and also make the game more interesting. Someone could triple captain Hojbjerg 😂
Undo Transfers - I think the ability to undo your transfers before the deadline would be useful especially for those that make early changes. Double Chips - Available for the whole season not each half like the WC chip. This would mean teams could be holding onto chips until the last GW to make mini leagues more fun. Vice Captain Chip - Your Captain and VC would get double points that GW. This would make people think more on when to use it especially on a DGW when most use the TC chip.
IMO They should up the amount of capped free transfers as that will make actually planning your Wildcards more rewarding as you dont feel the need to transfer a player every week and could make a good wildcard team for the next 3-4 weeks and then make more changes without costing you points.
The badges/achievements thing would be such an easy thing to implement and would make the meta game way more engaging. Things like overall rank, win a mini-league with a certain number of players… imagine having super rare ones like world #1 or highest score in a GW to play for
I agree about the cost of hits being tweaked. Personally I think a good way would be to do it in a sliding scale First transfer: Free Second transfer: -2 Third transfer: -3 Fourth transfer: -4 Fifth transfer: -5 Every transfer thereafter -5
I think this gives the right balance between making it exciting to make the extra 1 or 2 transfers, but also making it harder to completely rip up your team. Thoughts Andy?
I really think 1.5x for vice captain would be good addition. Round down or up obviously where appropriate but would take the warring out of missing a particular captain that just pops one week and add more thought into the vice…
Really odd idea. But I would like to see players awarded points for goal line clearances. Might be difficult to work in principle and would add 0 strategic value. However it is a game changing moment and I think should be rewarded
I would like to see 1.5x for your vice captain e.g salah captain 2×2=4 points Mane vice captain 14x 1.5 = 21points. It would take abit of luck element out of the game for captaincy choices as the game sometimes feels your gw depends on your captains haul
I APPRECIATE FPL NEXT SEASON BECOME MORE REALISTIC WITH DEF. MID. WE HAVE MORE OPTIONS AND TEMPLATE. WE' WAIT YOUR PRECISE ANALYSIS & TIPS. GREAT JOB ANDY.
Should be able to sub and switch captains until a player kicks off, then they're locked in. No reason your captain gets sick on Friday and you can't switch the armband to someone else playing on Saturday
The moment the deadline becomes 1st kickoff, 3pm kickoffs then become the “early team news”. All we would have done is increase the number of games we have this problem in, from 1 game to like 5 games. I feel like nobody is fully thinking through this change. The deadline should arguably be earlier, not later.
Half points, rounded up, for players who come off the bench. Won't affect the usual lower scoring players but would help normalise the big swings. And I have had good success from the bench previously, I just feel bad when it happens.
i would not change the deadline, because i personally have games on a saturday, so i would not have the chance to wait until i get teamnews and i am sure many others can not as well for some reasons, so i would be really pissed of they change that because i play really seriously and that would give me a disadvantage
Yes having to interact over the weekend when people are busy or travelling would be unfair and turn people off. While people able to log in over the weekend to change their captain or sub is harsh
I also wonder why the FPL landing page displays leagues with the most team value. Thos people are playing a very different game than the rest of us. Just seems random to display that and not other things that leagues top the averages at.
With introduction of five subs in 'real life football', FPL should add two more forward spots so bench would consist of five outfield players and a goalkeeper. That would mean budget and/or prices being at least slightly altered.
For the engaged players at half season point a chance for a new chip double points to be generated at that point and separate the luck from the skill at when you use it
I don’t want the game time deadline. I live in Canada so those early games would be an unfair advantage for people on same time zone. I already have to miss the deadline stream. Having the small side leagues would be great especially when their is an international break it gives a little more to do. And the player stats sheet needs improved for sure.
A small change I want to see is when players get their second appearance point. Imo it makes no sense that a player has to play 60 minutes before getting their second appearance point, it's such an arbitrary time. They should get the second appearance point the moment they step out for the second half, the same way they get the first appearance point the moment the game starts in the first half.
What are the top 3 changes you'd like to see FPL make for next season?
I'd like to see BB removed. Maybe 1st half of the season you get a WC, TC and FH and then another WC, TC and FH in the second half. You can't carry them over, use them or they are lost.
They also must do something for the winter break and the 5 subs.
Limitless chip like in Euros/champion league is fun.
BPS based bonus.
Points for tackle etc to get dm's some points
Vice captain should get 1.5x the points
I would prefer the deadline to be much earlier than 1.5 hours before kick off. This way no one gets any team news
The premier league is bading in Cash. The premier league should put some cash into monthly prizes, and make it an exciting monthly Game. cash prize per month, 1st 100k, 2cnd 50k, third 20k all the way to 100th = £100 :).
I’d add “sorry I was pissed” chip where you can reverse decisions you made the night before.
Be great If it could be printed and handed to the missus 😂
Or let’s you make transfers after the deadline where you’ve been too hungover💀

I’d like to see more chips that have less of an effect, like a chip that doubles the amount of points goals get, or triple the points saves get, something spicy
The goalkeeper save points I think need looking at. A few times where a teams lost 4-1 and the gk has come out with half decent points because he’s saved a few pea rollers. Also bonus points system, can’t let Trent get all 3 bonus just for turning up.
I think they should remove bonus entirely
Saw something on this channel I think that was good idea. Every player gets a bonus point for every 10 points they get in the bonus point system or something along these lines. So players who play well but just miss out can still pick up a couple of extra points
For me "Increase selling value by 0.1 £ for every 0.1 rise" and make vice captain more important is good upgrade
Great video. A couple of ideas I really loved. Three points for a hit. Yes please. Makes perfect sense. As does pricing players at, for instance, 4.7 from the get go.
Instead of changing the number of capped transfers, FPL should just give us 38 free transfers for the entire season. Use them whenever you want and once they are over, you'll have to take a 4 point hit for every single transfer
Pleeease make winning penalty separate 2pts (keeping regular assists as 3 pts), and similarly also make "converting penalty" like 3 points rather than a counting as a normal goal.
Uncapped transfers is effectively a wild card every 5 weeks. You'd have to lose the wild card chips, you couldn't have both. No to midweek subs/captain. And please yes, for the love of god, Salah et al as Forwards. It will make the game better cos you can only have 3 strikers and loads of the Premiums would be strikers. Places greater skill on picking more modest midfielders. Whoever suggested the last one was on glue. 6 defenders - not even Moyes does that
yeah I'm not a fan of that, it really levels the playing field having it capped at 2. It's nice knowing that if someone in your league has made some massive changes then you know they've taken a hit
I like the idea of having to pick 3/5 cheap players and these are the ones that win it for you
@@IWTBF yeah, I'm with you on that
@@MarcNash so you are almost forced to get the budget players. I want to see the template ripped up basically lol. It’s not the same 8 players with pretty much the same other 3.
@@IWTBF 100%
No assist to penalty earn, replace with 2 points for penalty earn even if player miss the penalty & minus 1 for penalty conceed by player.
Points for a certain number of key passes and may ball wins. This can allow defensive mids or center mids to be more viable as well as center backs
Fantastic video Andy!
Also on the defensive mids point - If you make cdm's good, will there be any 4.5 mids? Or will the only 4.5 mids be non-starters like forwards?
Yes, DMids need love. FPL will just need to balance the point scoring so it’s not ridiculously high.positive tackle, pass percentage to be rewarded etc :)
Transfers before deadline is probably the most fun as it's a guessing game and will have to be engaged with the game so moving the deadline is not gonna work
Wow Andy I love the idea of a side game and not having players over 10 mill or no premiums from each position. Interesting concept
The "change position" option would make the DMs a good option - if You think they will get a clean sheet, make them a defender that week.
Points for the Assist for the Assist (yes I did have Kane this season)
Advanced warning, it's the accountant in me! The budget is 100m so to have players at 6.7m for example would make fewer options to ensure your team was bang on 100m I think! Maybe that's why they don't do it.. still think they should though. Great video as always Andy, cheers
Wish they would make midfielders more viable. Points for key passed, points for interceptions, something along those lines.
1) Captain should get x1.5 points not x2. Rounded up to nearest whole number obvs.
That way it still matters ,just not quite as much.
2) Litmus test for where a player ought to be is where would they be playing in a different formation. Salah is a forward, Son is a forward... if liverpool or spurs played 442 then both players would mostly feature up front so its daft to suggest they are anything other.
3) Still mad how many pointa Martinez got for for a penalty save last year where auba hit it straight in the net on the rebound. Points should be after the passage of play not just the initial shot stop
I don't think 3) is a good idea. A penalty save is a save, even if the goal is scored on the rebound by the taker, the keeper still saved the initial penalty and should be credited with such.
If someone outside the box scored it after a bad clearance for example, would you still knock off the penalty save points?
Unlikely though isnt it. Most often defenders will put it out or the second shot will happen almost automatically.
I forgot partly what actually annoyed me at that time was i had Auba in my team and the penalty miss halved the points for his subsequent goal. Martinez ended up with three bonus points also. All seemed quite mad given the actual penalty save was renedered unimportant immediately.
I feel like most of the proposed changes just unnecessarily complicate the game where a vast majority of people already lose interest in FPL by like week 5. I feel like the overall goal should be to keep as many people engaged as possible
But if the deadline was the kick-off of the first game, then suddenly whichever team is in that game that weekend has an unfair advantage. Better that no one has any team news about any of the games through the weekend. As it is currently.
Add to budget and have a manager position, points for win, extra for away win, points for winning by 2 clear goals then an extra point for every 2. Points suggested are examples of how manager points are awarded.
Hi Andy. I think ALL 15 players should count every week and get rid of the BB chip. That way people will have to really consider their choices as the fodder could be getting you 60pts a season!
Almost all of these are making it easier. What’s the point, it only makes it less competitive.
The only thing that is needed is making the defenders more expensive or move fullbacks to midfield and wingers to forwards and adjust the squad structure accordingly.
From an IT perspective how difficult is it to run a game like FPL with millions of teams, thousands of mini leagues, millions of transfers every week, etc? Would making some of the changes suggested in this video be too difficult to implement or would it be reasonably straightforward to make some alterations?
Imagine spending all weekend counting tackles 😅😂
Most fantasy games actually let you change any player before their game kicks off or starts depending on sport. There would be so much more manager engagement if we could change any player to any other player as long as THEIR match has not kicked off. We should be able to transfer at any time regardless if other games have started. It would eliminate the amount of lame duck teams from semi invested managers. #2 Play 2 GK's if you want. If you have injuries, but you have two playing GK's we should be able to start a 2nd keeper, this would also bring GK"s into the conversation more regarding 2 playing gks' as opposed to finding the 4.0 GK to sit on the bench for the season. Switching Captain is just sour grapes. Yes nailing your Captain can save a game week or whiffing can bring you a red arrow, but this is where the game separates players willing to take a risk.
Limit the number of times you can have each player as captain
Should be harder so people have to / forced to pick players they wouldn't normally have in their team. i.e your forced to have a playing 4.5 def and 5.5 mid
i think with the hit idea, it should be 3 points for 1 hit. 4 points for the 2nd and 5 points for 3+ hits. that way the more you change the more it costs each time
I would like to see a change in the Captain and Vice Captain. Captain choice earns x2 pts per week like it is now and Vice Captain earns x1.5 pts per week. It will make it more interesting when choosing C and VC.
The ICT parts are good for the casuals actually, but yeah it was not engaging like the actual stats, which committed managers are using.
I'm totally agreed with you most of your opinions are based on UCL Fantasy which I think strategy vise is better than FPL another thing that I would say is a good option is ball recoveries... Players like Dias or Vandijk etc have a chance to compete with popular fullbacks and they always secure 2 or 3 ball recovery points for you ... FPL really should add one of those options to make the game more balance
But more transfers...? I don't think so it's a 38 weeks league and one of the majors that really matters for getting high ranks is all the strategies that you make with that transfer making it to 2 is a mistake... 2 transfers are only for shorter competition
if deadline is shifted to kickoff of 1st game, gw38 wildcard would be a thing and many minileagues would be decided on the last day and that sounds fun
Ability to change Captain is a terrible idea.
I'd like to see price on extra chips, so you could buy a
WC =£2m
FH=£1.5m
TC/BB = £0.5m
They could allow substitutes but not transfers on kick off
Absolutely right about the Cup!
2 of each chip, used in each half of the season, is something I'd like to see.
• 1.5x points for Vice Captain every week. We are choosing one every week anyway. Why not have some benefit to it?
• One of each chip for both halves of the season
• New chip called "Best XI", which when played gives you points from the best 11 players in your squad for that gameweek. Highest scorer will automatically be the captain (and get 2x), and second highest scorer will automatically be vice captain (and get 1.5x). Doesnt need to be a valid formation. Just your 11 highest scoring players for that gameweek.
• Incremental increase for cost of hits. -3 for 1 hit, -7 for 2 hits, -12 for 3 hits and -18 for 4 hits
• Overhaul Cup with free hit every week but budget will always be £100M (can maybe increase as we get closer to the end of the season but never to more than £105M)
• Ability to plan ahead
• Bonus proportional to BPS
I’d like to see clean sheet points up to 60 minutes maybe 2 points and then a further 2 points for a clean sheet at full time, I’ve lost a lot of points from defenders letting in late goals!
I think the defensive midfielder idea is really good, it makes for more different teams and also make the game more interesting. Someone could triple captain Hojbjerg 😂
More chips only makes it less about the football. What we have is knowledge and skill with the right amount of novelty.
Undo Transfers - I think the ability to undo your transfers before the deadline would be useful especially for those that make early changes.
Double Chips - Available for the whole season not each half like the WC chip. This would mean teams could be holding onto chips until the last GW to make mini leagues more fun.
Vice Captain Chip - Your Captain and VC would get double points that GW. This would make people think more on when to use it especially on a DGW when most use the TC chip.
7:24 - Salah is a winger not a forward, and a winger is classified as a midfielder.
Super Sub would be good, change a low scoring player to a high scoring player after the games are played
That second free hit chip was golden! I hope they keep it for seasons to come. It really makes things more exciting
IMO They should up the amount of capped free transfers as that will make actually planning your Wildcards more rewarding as you dont feel the need to transfer a player every week and could make a good wildcard team for the next 3-4 weeks and then make more changes without costing you points.
+1 for the scoring changes slide
Change extra transfers to a -2
The badges/achievements thing would be such an easy thing to implement and would make the meta game way more engaging. Things like overall rank, win a mini-league with a certain number of players… imagine having super rare ones like world #1 or highest score in a GW to play for
I agree about the cost of hits being tweaked.
Personally I think a good way would be to do it in a sliding scale
First transfer: Free
Second transfer: -2
Third transfer: -3
Fourth transfer: -4
Fifth transfer: -5
Every transfer thereafter -5
I think this gives the right balance between making it exciting to make the extra 1 or 2 transfers, but also making it harder to completely rip up your team. Thoughts Andy?
That achievements idea sounds good especially if they could add something that when you complete a certain number you unlock an extra chip to use
I really think 1.5x for vice captain would be good addition. Round down or up obviously where appropriate but would take the warring out of missing a particular captain that just pops one week and add more thought into the vice…
Really odd idea. But I would like to see players awarded points for goal line clearances. Might be difficult to work in principle and would add 0 strategic value. However it is a game changing moment and I think should be rewarded
I would like to see 1.5x for your vice captain e.g salah captain 2×2=4 points Mane vice captain 14x 1.5 = 21points. It would take abit of luck element out of the game for captaincy choices as the game sometimes feels your gw depends on your captains haul
They must do something for the winter break and the 5 subs.
Captain Plus - chip puts the armband on your teams highest scorer at the end of the gameweek.
What I would have wanted is ability to change captain in a DGW if he fails to play in the first game or got injured.
I APPRECIATE FPL NEXT SEASON BECOME MORE REALISTIC WITH DEF. MID. WE HAVE MORE OPTIONS AND TEMPLATE. WE' WAIT YOUR PRECISE ANALYSIS & TIPS. GREAT JOB ANDY.
Should be able to sub and switch captains until a player kicks off, then they're locked in. No reason your captain gets sick on Friday and you can't switch the armband to someone else playing on Saturday
A promotion chip which turns your vice into a 2nd captain so you have 2 captains that gameweek. Would be cool
The moment the deadline becomes 1st kickoff, 3pm kickoffs then become the “early team news”.
All we would have done is increase the number of games we have this problem in, from 1 game to like 5 games.
I feel like nobody is fully thinking through this change. The deadline should arguably be earlier, not later.
Maybe for the transfer cap only add 1 per 2 gw once you have already got 2
Half points, rounded up, for players who come off the bench.
Won't affect the usual lower scoring players but would help normalise the big swings.
And I have had good success from the bench previously, I just feel bad when it happens.
Think they should create a cdm role for players like Kante they get more points for clean sheets than other midfielders
What about those other "non fantasy" games that were featured in the euros page. The score predictor mainly, maybe can add a table predictor as well.
i would not change the deadline, because i personally have games on a saturday, so i would not have the chance to wait until i get teamnews and i am sure many others can not as well for some reasons, so i would be really pissed of they change that because i play really seriously and that would give me a disadvantage
Floating position sounds awful too. Would turn me off and I am engaged
Yes having to interact over the weekend when people are busy or travelling would be unfair and turn people off. While people able to log in over the weekend to change their captain or sub is harsh
Switch Captain to Vice Captain after gameweek finishes only once per season
Getting rid of Captain would be great. A double can win someone the game. Silly
All I want for the next season is ZERO COVID RESCHEDULE GAMES
I also wonder why the FPL landing page displays leagues with the most team value. Thos people are playing a very different game than the rest of us. Just seems random to display that and not other things that leagues top the averages at.
Really like the bps ceiling idea… although are we only making the big teams even more rewarded.
With introduction of five subs in 'real life football', FPL should add two more forward spots so bench would consist of five outfield players and a goalkeeper. That would mean budget and/or prices being at least slightly altered.
For the engaged players at half season point a chance for a new chip double points to be generated at that point and separate the luck from the skill at when you use it
I don’t want the game time deadline. I live in Canada so those early games would be an unfair advantage for people on same time zone. I already have to miss the deadline stream. Having the small side leagues would be great especially when their is an international break it gives a little more to do. And the player stats sheet needs improved for sure.
I would prefer the deadline to be much earlier than 1.5 hours before kick off. This way no one gets any team news
I agree with this. Would make it more fair and no need to panic waiting for team news that doesn’t even come
A small change I want to see is when players get their second appearance point. Imo it makes no sense that a player has to play 60 minutes before getting their second appearance point, it's such an arbitrary time. They should get the second appearance point the moment they step out for the second half, the same way they get the first appearance point the moment the game starts in the first half.
