I like the prize for the winner. However they've got a lot of players wrong. Doughty a midfielder but Ogbene a forward, Scott Twine at Hull despite him playing for Bristol City in the second half of last season, player 111 at Birmingham, Jack Clarke's a forward but Patrick Roberts a midfielder, Summerville and Gnonto are forwards but Dan James is a midfielder, Mason-Clark is a forward but Sakamoto is a midfielder, Sainz and Rowe are forwards but Fassnacht is a midfielder, and the list goes on. I'm going to stick to Gaffr and give there Super League game a try.

Guessing the Saudi offer wasn't forthcoming.

None this year. I'm going to try for John Cena's last UK appearance next year though.

FPL have done it. After making everybody feel cheap last year to appeal to casual players, and then lose those casual players after they lose transfers. They've upped the amount of transfers you can save to try and retain players whilst making the selection process more difficult for those more engaged players. Salah has the better fixtures, Haaland has had a summer to reboot. Salah is the best captain for gameweek 1 whilst Haaland is the best captain for gameweek 2. But putting them both in the same team causes a lot of sacrifices elsewhere. I think we will see a lot of differing strategies early on.

Up until now, you've only been able to bank two free transfers. Well, if you want to be patient and plan ahead, you can now accumulate up to FIVE free transfers. On top of that, when you play the Wildcard and Free Hit chips, your saved transfers will no longer reset to zero. So you can now save five free transfers, then play any of your chips and immediately have five free transfers to use in the following Gameweek. You've always been able to keep two free transfers when playing the Bench Boost and Triple Captain chips, so there's no real change there - except that you can now bank the extra three free transfers as well. Upping the saved transfers amount is a massive change. There’s been plenty periods over the years where I’ve tinkered with my squad for fear of losing a transfer when in practice I could have just left it. Makes the wildcards a lot less significant also.

I get why Atletico didnt have a big release clause at the time, albeit that looks a little foolish given what's happened at the Euro's.

He should tear that league up.
