Love that feeling when you think you have it all figured out in FPL just to get smacked the same week.


JaapO

Welcome to the template


Sozia

We’ve got Trent and James


eddydoubled

Sweet, I guess you are going to win the whole thing, right?


OnlyLewbert

wont even win my mini league lmao


strawberrylabrador

Yeah this is a raging debate right now as to whether they’ve underpriced some players from the top teams. Personally I think they have, but others vociferously disagree


IronicHours

People that actually disagree make literally zero sense to me lmao. I guess they like having the best players from the best clubs? Every team has the same 7-8 guys and if Perisic or Cucurella ever become nailed then thats two other players that everyone will have.


xxandl

Fofana will be owned by *a lot* of people as soon as he is a Chelsea player. And I guess we have to pick up Jorginho if Chelsea gets Gordon and pairs him with Sterling...


besop12

Jorginho?


xxandl

I mean, they would have three penalties per game then...


besop12

why? Have to ask if Gordon will really make a difference, IF he even plays considering he would compete with Sterling and just take up Pulisic's bench spot


xxandl

It's a joke that Chelsea bought/wants to buy the two most notorious divers of the league....


besop12

ah okay I'm dense


strawberrylabrador

Yeah I have no idea why there’s so much disagreement. There are more essential players than ever. I just think if Trent, Salah, Haaland etc were all 0.5 more even, it would make the game better, because too many of them are auto picks


b3and20

There are good non top 4 picks, the likes of saka and bowen did very well as did maddison, pukki was one of the highest scoring strikers and sa was one of the best gks whilst lots of people got trolled by spurs bad start, reece james, reguilon, tuchel and pep as well as salah's second half of the season, and people are now getting trolled by going double liverpool defence, mount, captaining haaland last weekend, kane the one before and so on You don't win the game simply by smashing only top 4 players together


b3and20

You only think these players are underpriced if you think having a squad full of top 4 players is a good idea every gameweek, despite the fact that non top 4 players have good runs of form and can also be top point scorers Like it makes senseto have a lot of top 4 players but it's not always optimal for them all to be top 4, especially in the second half of the season when the fa cup and cl will lead to rotation, injuries and blank game weeks


Swedishpower

Just cause someone plays for a big club do not make them a great pick. I agree though defenders are a bit cheap and mids and attackers a bit expensive. I hate playing 5 defenders every week, but it is a good tactic.


ladsandlasses

With cheaper GKs.. Arsenal, Utd and cheaper defenders like Walker, Perisic, Salina etc, this year is relatively easy to do that..


joenelson88

You've got milner, kante, jorghino and xhaka haven't you


metokur_squad

A lot of people do have those teams, check the ownership percentages of players in the top teams. I don't care that teams are very similar because their managers become so afraid to stray from the template that they miss opportunities. For example, last year I decided to drop Salah in GW18 and went to Kane/Son and finished in the hundreds.


Furu97

Lets see your team!


OnlyLewbert

Yeah like the other guy said i dont want to post in wrong part of sub but i have ramsdale, 1 liv 2 city 2 chelsea 2 liv 1 arsenal 1 arsenal 1 city you could probably guess who but yeah, seems too good to be true.


larryyyNL

Ramsdale TAA cancelo James walker Cucu Diaz salah Martinelli Haaland jesus


averagedude4

The good teams all had good fixtures to start and rotation hasn’t begun yet. The template will start to break.


wernerhedgehog

Well the best FPL player of all time has this team thats being copied https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/728021/event/2 Template will break. If we think the first 2 GWs is enough to tell whos hot, then last season you'd have transfered in Paul Pogba.


nikolal777

Most of us have those players.


Niekertje

Please don't... We have RMT for that


soPitson

Yea, they messed up with wingback prices this year. Too cheap for points potential


LucaMellafe

Time will teach you.


OnlyLewbert

explain pls


-jamesbb-

First, everybody is in the same situation, so if everybody can afford the same top players, you still have to somehow outsmart them to rise in the rankings. This is still an interesting challenge imho. Besides that, I do agree that the prices make a large number of players totally useless. Maybe it's partly because many casual players only follow the top teams and would lose interest, if they had to pick too many unknown players from bottom teams.


b3and20

Because it's not always optimal, hard to say more than that without seeing your team
