The FPL players involved at the European Under-21 Championship

*typo -away from DEFS & mids... not refs & mids - I don’t think refs should get any baps lol

1.Lower prices yes
2.Yes
3.Yes
4.Yes

PS.Refs should take baps if they award 2 and more pens.

Good suggestions. I would especially like the price transparency but I would also like bank balances and transfers made to be hidden to stop these sites that are predicting people’s transfers.

Agreed on all fronts.

How about banning chips in BGW’s and DGW’s in order to bring greater variance to results?

2 points for a key contribution, 3 points for an opta defined assist.

It would remove all the subjectivity and bias from awarding assists.

A metric to make defensive midfielders more relevant.

I know this will never happen but my absolute dream scenario is being able to make my transfers after we get the team sheets, then I can use my actual football knowledge to decide which player/team might do well Vs who they're facing without worrying about whether he's been dropped or not. I know this would take away from the speculation and injury watch or baby watch, and some would argue that figuring out whether a player is playing is using football knowledge but it just annoys me because it's just almost purely a guess (except for in rare circumstances) and for me it stops me getting players I want and playing more risky. The risk shouldn't be in whether a player is starting or not, the risk should be in going with a non template player but being certain he's at least starting!

Agree with the poster above, any last touch should just = assist unless there's two clear defender touches after the final assist touch. Too subjective right now, gets people's conspiracy hats on when a high owned player seems to get an assist for just looking at the ball

Agree on all your suggestions especially number 4.

All chips and the extra WC should be binned. Go back to how it was with 1 WC a season.

1. A remove all button on the Transfer screen.

2. Assists awarded to the last team player who touched the ball.

3. Monthly prizes and an improvement on the prizes in general.

1. Award double points for both captain and vice captain to reduce captain variance. I originally wanted to say "remove captaincy" but I think giving double points to both is a more exciting solution for casuals.

2. Increase player prices across the board. This is somewhat related to your "save the striker" wish. I think FPL are too scared to price up defenders and value midfielders. I believe the premium strikers are priced fine, as they do have quite a bit of ownership every season even at their high price. But with increased information sharing across the community, its becoming so obvious that certain player types like premium attacking defenders are underpriced and offer too much value. Players like Robbo, TAA, Laporte etc should cost around 8.0 and would still have large ownerships. Similarily defenders in the bracket below like Digne should cost at least 6.0. This would help break up the template.

3. Small wish about BPS. Remove negative bps for yellow cards as they are already punished with -1 point loss in the game. And reduce +bps for penalty saves as they are already rewarded handsomely in game. Its a bit of a joke when a gk who concedes two goals in a 1-2 loss gets 3 bps because of a penalty save.

Extra points/baps etc for goals/assists/clean sheets obtained away from home, could be interesting.

Can’t really argue against much of them points. The transfer stockpiling is one I would be against. The only way I would be for it is if the wildcards were taken away.

Sorry but 1.No 2.No 3.No and 4 No.

Happy with the way the game is.

3) Entirely agreed and if not full transparency, at least some so that we will know that Salah will not fall in price even after massive sales. At leat, think what would be the damage if player price rises/falls would be announced before they occur?!

4) Disagreed but in a counter way, why don't we have two of each chip, just like the WC? I hate to feel obliged to use the BB and TC on DGWs. Mathematically, you can't fight that idea. So why not have each chip twice, one until the New Year, just like the WC, so that we are forced to find a BB and TC on a single GW too!

2) this is very debatable. Do you not think this would encourage randomness in another way? Would there not be more ghost teams, monthly playing mini-WC's, and then aiming to tower up the weekly hard-workers?

I’m afraid that reclassifying people as forwards is the only way to save the striker bracket.

Do Liverpool & City play a 4-5-1 or a 4-3-3?

Salah, Sterling et all are actually forwards as much fun as it is having them as mids

1. Do away with baps and award pts for on field contributions only. When a player scores a brace he gets 2 extra pts and 3 extra pts for a hat-trick. I've lost count of the times a FWD has hauled but still struggled to dominate the baps because the defenders got a c/s and an attacking contribution.

2. I agree but no more hits then if we get to stockpile FTs.

3. Agree. FPL should have a page like FFFix and fplstats on their site/app.

4. Agree. I'd even get rid of the WC (if we can stockpile FTs). Games should then be moved around to limit BGWs and DGWs.

1. reduced points for autosubs - if you didnt choose them to start you shouldnt benefit from their full haul

2. max 2 players from each team. that should test managers and perhaps break up the template a little

3. all chips available in both halves of the season (like wc is)

Fix penalty points. All players should get 4 points and 12 BPS for scoring a penalty, even defenders. All players should get 2 points and 12 BPS for winning a penalty, but this should not be given to players that take their own penalty. Missing a penalty should be -2 points and -12 BPS. If you miss a penalty you won yourself, you should get 0 points and 0 BPS.

1. BPS - definitely needs to be addressed, sometimes it’s just baffling who gets the points.

2. Chips - I like the chips but everyone tends to follow a similar strategy now and keep them until the end of the season. FPL could do with mixing it up a bit, either changing chips or making them be used in phases.

3. Price changes - I’d like to see quicker movement of prices and also to remove the price freeze following a suspension. A bit more transparency on how prices are calculated too would be good.

4. Would like a league for the team you started the season with - no transfers, no captains.

5. 2 players from each team to make squads less template.

Would more price transparency not just lead to MORE volatility in the market?

With midfielders more attacking than ever, and with them also getting an extra point for clean sheets, forwards are at a huge disadvantage that the extra BPS for a goal simply isn’t making up. At this point, they should just award five points for all goals by attackers (both mids and forwards) to even things out.

Striker points: Each new season's prices reflect the previous points, no action needed, mids will be higher as it is, forwards lower...
Free transfers: Yeah, being able to carry forward two would refresh the game and give us something new to think about.
Price transparency: Nah, man up, it's a gambling game, there has to be unknowns or it wouldn't work.
Abolish chips: See free transfers, don't abolish the chips change them and give us new strategies to think about.

1. What would improve the game the most for me: the same scoring as Allsvenskan Fantasy where players instantly score points when they hit a threshold for actions like crosses, tackles, blocks, key passes - the same way a FPL goalkeepers currently score points every 3 saves. Would take away the horrible waiting for undeserved BPS adjustments and make more players like defensive midfielders and strikers who run the line but aren't clinical viable picks. For those who haven't played it it's halfway between FPL and Sky FF.

2. Sorry but no chips :'( I'd like to stick with 2 wildcards per season though. The strategies, especially in FPL, are so boring now.

3. Fewer points for penalty saves (or at least fewer BPS, especially if they don't have a bearing on the result).

4. The most realistic and easiest to implement: go back through the most contentious decisions last season and CLARIFY THE RULES. I don't want any more Sanchez assists for a deflected pass that results in a handball that wins a free kick or no Redmond assist despite the fact his dribble towards the goal forced Digne to put it into his own net - and if they do happen, I want to be able to say "at least it's clearly in the rules"

Love the idea of stockpiling transfers

I think I agree with all of these! Very sensible suggestions.

For me the biggest thing is that BAPS are broken. I'm not even talking about rebalancing them to bring premium forwards back into the equation (although this is important). I'm talking about the awarding of BAPS to players who are already receiving points for those actions.

They are BONUS points - they are there in part to help bring players who are otherwise not scoring points in any of the main categories to be recognised in the scoring system. BAPS should ONLY be awarded for things that don't otherwise score FPL points, and minus BAPS should ONLY be awarded for things that don't lose that player FPL points. The BAPS system should also avoid rewarding players twice for their achievements.

A few examples of things that should be rebalanced are as follows (using the term "BAPS" as shorthand for points scored in the bonus points system):

- Remove BAPS for winning goals. A goal should be a goal. Why should it count more towards BAPS if it's the winner?

- For that matter: remove goal BAPS. If shots on target count towards BAPS, and goals score their own points, why should a player get credits towards extra points if the ball ends up in the back of the net? We have already been rewarded with 4,5 etc. points for that outcome.

- Remove assist BAPS: We already have points in the bonus system for key passes. A key pass leading to a big chance created should always score the same. Why should the player be penalised if the nugget he passes to fluffs the easy chance he has had put on a plate for him? Our man has already lost out by his assist being wasted. The bonus system is meant to reward players for their performances regardless of the extent to which their teammates

- Remove YC and RC, OG and missed pen minus BAPS

I'm not sure about save BAPS. Keepers do get points for these, but it's only one for every three saves made, so it's not a given that they will get points even if they do make saves. Keepers need to be competitive with the other players in the game so maybe save BAPS should be retained.

Yes
No
Yes
Yes, Yes, Yes - at the very least give us more control over the chips (i.e. you can pick 4 from a pool of 6-8 which would really mix it up) or the other direction - less control - force us to use say 2 chips first half and 2 second

I always have one suggestion to reward goalkeepers.

If they save a big chance, make it counted as 2 saves.

it works like saving penalty, if big chance missed because the striker shoots it wide/off target, don't reward the GK with that.
