Topic: Push Square Premier League Fantasy Football (soccer) ongoing seasons

@nessisonett Long way to go yet 😄. Certainly beginning to look like finding the budget for Haaland is a necessity though.

Holy Moly I just had a look and was top of the league!!!
Though I'm fully aware the gameweek is not over and I won't be by tomorrow night.
Still... Holy Moly.

And yeah that Erling bloke is a bit good isn't he? I think they mentioned during commentary that he now has more goals than games played in the Premier League.

Well hey, at least Palmer got an assist. Still though, another dreadful week. Thankfully a good result from the Old Firm, with Big Joe Hart and Christoph Waltz watching on 😂

Just wondering, does anybody know how the player price increase/decrease works. Is it based on a certain number of transfers of a percentage of active players buying/dropping someone. I know when lots of people rush to drop an injured player their value goes down by 0.1 or 0.2m but unsure if it needs to be a specific number of managers e.g. 0.1m for every 100,000 who sell or something.

@sorteddan Yeah I've never known the exact math to it either. For a long time I thought price changes were due to the player's performance. It was only a couple of seasons ago I discovered it was down to how much players are transferred in/out making like it share prices. It had an affect on how I did my transfers.
For a long time I would leave making changes to my team until a Friday evening in case a player got injured in training or a mid-week game but I learned that was playing a part in why my team value was so slow to increase. If I took out a player that a lot of other players had done sooner the value had dropped by the time I did it. Since I've started making changes early (sometimes while a gameweek is still in progress) I've certainly seen improvement in the value of my squad.
Anyway I don't think the exact calculation is public but it's probably something like your example.

So yesterday I was contemplating dropping Muniz and bringing in Calvert-Lewin as my player didn't even start at the weekend and his replacement, Raul, scored for Fulham whereas DCL has two in two and faces Leicester then Palace next so potential for more. Knowing if I chose to it then Muniz would play and score and if I didn't then DCL would!
However I've just read that Wissa is out for two months so kind of glad I held off on making any transfers yesterday.
Also continuing my streak of benching the wrong players... The unused first eligible sub on my bench each week have been:
Mitoma - 8 points
Barnes - 5
Onana - 9
Wissa - 7
It's uncanny how I manage to do this every time.

That has to be some sort of record surely. I've got 8 points from Saturdays games 😂

@MatthewJP Ouch! Hopefully you still have quite a few players to play still.

Only just discovered Raya is injured and not playing. Of course my sub goalie is a super cheap one that doesn't play. Just 10 players for me this week then 😖

EDIT: It seems some pundit on BBC was talking rubbish about how big a miss he was as he is indeed playing.

Cole Palmer may have just single handedly saved my season. So glad I captained him over Haaland!

@nessisonett As opposed to me wishing my Vice-Captain had ousted my Captain this week. Still I'm guessing many are annoyed with sticking with Haaland right now and at least Palmer is in my team. It would be cool to see him become the first to get a double hat-trick.
