The game is open for the new season.. Post thoughts here for the best way we can all donate to Brent's summer holiday fund.

gg sleep

Looking for heads up bets but will want a decent handicap due to recent form.

What did you score the last couple of years? I'd be open to a $50-$100 type bet if we can work out terms. Let's work it out over PM to avoid clogging thread.

Winner of H2H should get a % of prize money before the knockout stages!

I don't know but I stop playing after feb usually.

Let's book 1$point and I have 20 handicap. Quote to book.

Booked.

+1 or if Brent wants to set it up so there's no QF/SF etc this year happy with that too.

I'm game for the same, if you like.

The Ultimate FPL looks interesting (http://fantasy.premierleague.com/ultimate/), but it hasn't launched yet. I understand its a pay-to-play game with separate rules (25 man squad for one).  Would be better if they just implemented a pay-to-play version of the main game, but still interested to see what they come up with.

If you give me 50 points then ok

I'm pretty much mid-table crap but I'll take 20 points start for $1/£1 per point to make it a bit more stimulating.

haha I started on my team yesterday, saw the players were out and just couldn't wait. Looks like a few bargains amongst the new players.

Will start the official thread in a week or so

Not too long now  ;kev;

kk booked.

Booked for $1 per point.

Accepting any h2h bets pending discussions on terms

How many points you giving me, you shark?

dream on. one bad year for you does not equal a pts start

will take 75 points if you want

you want a 75pt start?

Yeh

But by your own admission you stop playing in feb and near the end of the season last year you were only 65 pts behind. Don't give up and u could have won.

Just the offer up to you

Can do 2/point as well f you like

Actually will give you 60. Seems fair

Oh I just love the trading back and forth :)

Ace, what terms are you offering me?

Isn't this where many pick a fantasy team and there is a league? Don't understand all the side bets going on?!

Will bet 1-point vs you too dazzler if I ger 60 handicap

It is, but that won't be set-up until Horneris renews the mini league (there's no hurry, still a month to go).  This is, as you say, about individual side bets.

Could never do these side bets.

Don't like rooting for players on teams I hate as it is already!

Up for doing the same bet we had last year for $25 or $50, H2H league vs each other.

 Reckon i have done over 100 transfers already! Lets get this thing started!

Anyone care to share any pre season strategic thoughts and value picks?

Yeah, don't even look at it for another 2 weeks, its pretty pointless putting a squad together this early you end up driving yourself mad.

I'd be game for a mini league with the Sun's dream team. £50/entry.

Sun one is tez, graphics and gameplay is awful.

Will set it up in next couple of days, still ages till prem, altho have done my team a few times now lol

looking forward to this already, same as last year hopefully and hope to do better this season lol,
if i can pick my footballers like i pick my golf sports betting winners i will be be up there lol (hopefully)

Done my first draft.

Mignolet, Guzan

Luiz, Hobbs, Rat, Sagna, G Johnson

Fer, bacuna , Paulinho , Fellaini, mata

Benteke, Lambert, Cisse

Anyone want to slate my team :P maybe mata/luiz wont play first two as will be tired from extended summer games?

Without going onto FPL to check prices at first glance I would say you've spent too much on your defence if you're usually going to go 3 at the back. Given that you've got Mingolet in goal you could probably downgrade G.johnson to a 4.5 then spend the extra 2m on upgrading a midfielder. If you're set on keeping Luiz & GJ then as they'll play every wk downgrade Sagna or if you think you'll play all three every week then you can downgrade Rat to a 4.0 - either way you can save some cash at the back to spend further forward IMO.

I'd drop mata for Hazard as Spain play Ecuador away three days before the start of the season & Mourinho has stated he's going to have to manage the Spanish players. Could debate form vs fixtures all season but Benteke has v.tough opening fixtures so could switch him for Sturridge or you've got no Man City players who have a kind opening schedule. Their striker situation is less clear of course. I don't know how much Cisse is but personally not a fan of his for FPL purposes & the kit dispute (now resolved) can't help matters.

Very best of luck, I've done a first draft too but am taking the Teacake approach of leaving it alone until nearer the start of the season.

booked

$2 a point with you getting a 40 pt head start

Fair bet is scratch i suppose but it makes me want to puke giving you those terms. Totally screwing myself i think.

$200 straight bet

I think I may have a slight edge at levels so I'll give you 1/2 a point a week so you have a 19 point lead for $200. Happy with that?

Ok. Booked. Gl
