TiBB 2022/23 Premier League Fantasy Football

[James]

Drew has renewed the TiBB league at https://fantasy.premierleague.com. You might already be in it if you played last season.

I've posted the invite link in a Private forum here - https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showpost.php?p=11186272

What is Fantasy Premier League...


How to register

To play Fantasy Premier League for the first time, you must register on the FPL site.

Head over to https://fantasy.premierleague.com to register your account by submitting an email address, setting up a password and then confirming your email address.

Once you have set up your account and chosen a team name you are ready to start playing.


How to play

FPL is a game that casts you in the role of a Fantasy manager of Premier League players.

You must pick a squad of 15 players from the 2022/23 Premier League, who score points for your team based on their performances for their clubs in PL matches.

Prices are given to players based on the number of FPL points they are projected to deliver and you are limited to a budget of £100.0m for your 15-man squad.


How are points awarded?

Points are awarded to players for goals, assists, saves and clean sheets.

Players can also earn additional bonus points in Fantasy as a reward for a good performance in a match (see the Bonus Points System for more).

Your team's points for the match round or "Gameweek" will be scored by your starting XI. But if a starting player does not feature for their club in that round of matches, the points scored by the first player on your bench will automatically be counted instead.

The same process occurs if two or three starting players fail to appear.

You can also earn extra points by selecting a captain from your starting line-up. The captain's points are doubled in that Gameweek.

[Calderyon]

Yes. I'm in.

Thank you Drew and James.

[Calderyon]

Currently 7 players in the League.

Last year we had 12.

[Dogeatdog]

Currently 7 players in the League.

Last year we had 12.

Decided to rejoin the league this season so that’s 8 now.

[Swan]

Yeah i've rejoined this season.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I'm in

[Crimson Dynamo]

So

who is going to be your goalkeeper this season?

[Calderyon]

Between 2 at the moment.

[Calderyon]

10 players now.

Last season we had 12.

[bots]

i think we should all try and convince Zizu and Cherie to join

[Calderyon]

Cherie will probably do it as she did it last season.

[Calderyon]

11 players now.

Last season we had 12.

[Drew.]

I'll actually try & attempt to stick to it this year

[Calderyon]

I'll actually try & attempt to stick to it this year

Good to hear.

And welcome back btw.

[Calderyon]

Remember there are actually 3 wildcards this year due to WC.

[Drew.]

Good to hear.

And welcome back btw.

Thanks Cald

[Swan]

Declan Rice is only £5m?!

[Crimson Dynamo]

Declan Rice is only £5m?!

2nd best £5mill midfielder last season and the best was Moutinio and he got 1 point more

[Swan]

Im still not sure on Haalaand. I really want Reece James and £6m is a fair price, if he plays regularly.

Bernando is good at £7m.

Im sure some people are gonna try have Son, KDB, Salah and Haalaand. But doesn't leave much for anyone else really.

[Calderyon]

Bernardo is not recommended.

[Calderyon]

Getting 4 Premiums in your team is almost Impossible. Coupe be done maybe, but you would have those 4 and then 11 players who are a mix of 4.0 players & two 4.5 strikers.

[Swan]

No i read he might be leaving, or wants to leave. So yeah maybe his price reflects his rumoured unhappiness at City.

Sterling at Chelsea is a pretty big risk at £10m. Think i'd prefer Mount at £8m.

It's gonna be a toss of a coin between Haalaand and Kane for me i think, both £11.5. Salah or Son too. Probably Salah as Liverpool's first 7 games are very winnable. Chelsea on GW8 seem to be their only "on paper" trickier game.

[Swan]

Getting 4 Premiums in your team is almost Impossible. Might be possible, but you would have those 4 and then 11 players Who are a mix of 4.0 players & two 4.5 strikers.

Yeah your whole bench wouldn't be playable at all, and your other players would be low end for sure.

[Calderyon]

Big decision between Luis Diaz and Robertson.

Want Haaland, but Kane might be the wiser choice.

Will not touch Jota or Nunez at this stage.

[Swan]

My team so far. But it will change i have no doubt about that. Put a couple of cheap, non playing players on the bench.

[Zizu]

I’m not doing it this year as I find it tooo stressful on game days .... but I would build a team around Haaland and make him captain..


I just don’t see how he doesn’t score 30+ league goals ( 40+ all competitions) .

People say that the dilemma is how much he (Haaland) plays/is rotated/rested vs Kane who is always nailed.

I’m thinking the injuries are simply part of growing up so huge ( 6’ 5” ) and putting his body through so much , so young


Once he’s settled down and stopped growing he’ll be fine

Kane looks like the more sensible pick, but the ownership of Haaland is making it too risky to not have him...

It's a toss up.

[Zizu]

Could be very competitive for the top scorer this year

Haaland
Nunez
Salah
Jesus
Kane

All true, but still.

That being said, i did change Haaland to him yesterday and will keep it for now.


Choice:


Tottenham (Kane & Son and Co.) at home vs a questionable Southampton defense

or

Manchester City away against a well performed and quite established West Ham with Bowen who apparently likes to score v Manchester City.

But for the ultimate decision, we need to "see" Haaland play.

This is all you need ..

18 seconds in .. he heads the ball away in his own penalty box then sprints showing desire that I’ve never seen from a footballer

Add all his other qualities plus his only flaw appears to nw that he likes to party .. which may be a problem given he’s there with Grealish and Foden

and you can rotate to captain each at home as spurs are home when city are away

[Calderyon]

Yep.

You probably have to cheapen your defence (or midfield) somewhat though, but on defence you have good cheap options to draft in your team, if needed.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Broja at West Ham and at 5.5?

watch the ownership rocket..

[Calderyon]

Very tempted to go with a "Threemium" team.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Very tempted to go with a "Threemium" team.

remember forwards get no clean sheet points

plus why pay a premium for a player you will not captain regularly?

Poor defense and midfield of yours.

For playing up to 60 minutes 1
For playing 60 minutes or more (excluding stoppage time) 2
For each goal scored by a goalkeeper or defender 6
For each goal scored by a midfielder 5
For each goal scored by a forward 4
For each assist for a goal 3
For a clean sheet by a goalkeeper or defender 4
For a clean sheet by a midfielder 1

Those two are fine picks.

[Calderyon]

At the moment, 5-4-1 seems the most optimal formation.

[Crimson Dynamo]

At the moment, 5-4-1 seems the most optimal formation.

yes or 442

[Calderyon]

yes or 442

4-4-2 - Nice balance, with a better bench.

5-4-1 - Great defense, good attack, but a lesser bench.

3-4-3 - Great attack, but a weaker defense and a weaker bench.

4-3-3 - Okay defense, weak midfield, good attack, but a weak bench.


All potentially, not necessarily. Imo.

[Swan]

Im sitting on a 3-4-3 atm. It's actually quite well balanced imo. It could easily change though. Bench is weak for sure.

[Calderyon]

Biggest dilemma is between Diaz and Robertson.

Haaland vs Kane is always an on going debate.

[Swan]

You can only let free transfers build for 2 weeks right? So you can only ever have a max of 2 free transfers?

[Calderyon]

Yes.

[Swan]

Ok thanks.

[Calderyon]

Remember there are actually 3 wildcards this year due WC.

1st wildcard is from GW2 to GW16

From the end of GW16 to the deadline of GW17 everyone has unlimited Free transfers due to the World Cup break.

2nd wildcard is from GW18 to GW38.

[Dogeatdog]

I’ve gone for a 4-5-1 but my bench looks dire.

[Swan]

I keep tweaking mine. I've got a 4-4-2 now. I need to close the tab, i can't stop messing with it.

But yeah either way, my bench is rubbish.

[Swan]

Finding a Chelsea player to put in is hard, i have 1 atm. Might even get rid of him though.

[Swan]

I'd say my DF/MD/FW is very well balanced though. With an awful bench.

Yeah it has been pretty awful. Only player im gonna be considering is Mount. My biggest headache atm is Cancelo or Darwin.

[bots]

the sanctions basically tore the team apart with them unable to offer or negotiate new contracts meaning that the players were forced to look elsewhere. It's going to be a multi season rebuild and I doubt Tuchel will be around that long

[Calderyon]

Yeah it has been pretty awful. Only player im gonna be considering is Mount. My biggest headache atm is Cancelo or Darwin.

Cancelo.

Not even considering Darwin. Too expensive and takes up a Liverpool spot. And he is new and needs to settle.

Diaz is a much cheaper option and with Mane leaving, more nailed.

[Swan]

Yeah im with you on that tbh.

[Calderyon]

That being said Liverpool is playing Salzburg tonight and Darwin Nunez is starting.

Trippier yes, Dalot not so much.

Did Community Shield change anyone's mind on their picks?

[Dogeatdog]

Did Community Shield change anyone's mind on their picks?

Not for me. It was a tossup between Kane and Haaland a few days ago but I chose Kane and I’m now going to stick with him. I feel like City need to adjust a bit having Haaland in the team now because they seem to be stuck in their style of play from last season.

The only players in my squad I’m thinking about changing is Gallagher and maybe Ruben Dias but unsure who to replace them with.

[Calderyon]

Had him the first few days when the game relaunched, after that he has been almost a lock.

Up until yesterday, when i briefly changed to Haaland and other Spurs cover to see how it looked (for GW2 purposes), but then i game back to my "senses" (it did not look good) and now he is a complete lock par any injuries.

[Calderyon]

Jesus ownership has hit 70%.

Haaland's however has decreased to 50.5%.

No Kane or Haaland for me. For now at least anyway.

i play the premier league, in my FIFA 21 game


am manager for Leeds United


my manager name Gabriel Batistuta


and to make things more fun for myself, i got notepad and pen next to me, to basically write everything down in terms of transfers in, transfers out (i do cheat however, with the 500 million extra cash flow for first transfer season, which i more cleverly invest in 5 star scouts for my youth academy to possibly get best youth product there can be, and more like 2 or 3 major signings and if i have to stick to some objectives like 3 asian signings)

and my own made up assistent coaches written down on my notepad

Gabriel Heinze, Rio Ferdinand




this is the reason i say no to tibb fantasy premier league, because i got my own fantasy league


FIFA 21 still looks cool, although i need to get rid of freezing up bug, maybe clear up some save files, maybe there is too much in that now and maybe a corrupt file somewhere among save files :think:

And their fixtures are not so good in the neat future...

Still only 11 players.

At least 1 more would be nice.

Sign-up deadline is 6.30 PM UK Friday.

[Calderyon]

Gabriel Jesus ownership is 74.9%

Why leave the sign up so late?

I like to keep my TiBB team separate to the one I have in friends and work leagues so I've been doing all my drafts on that other one, will just replicate the final version on the TiBB team

[MTVN]

Have literally changed my team over 100 times in the last week and still only have three players I'm dead set on

[Calderyon]

I have also changed it a lot. And still not completely satisfied.

[MTVN]

I really want Vardy but can't make a team that I like with him in

[Calderyon]

Still no Salah?

[MTVN]

No he's back haha, he's one of the three players I'm happy with

Thought Diaz could cover him before but now don't think any other Liverpool mid or attacker can come close to his output

Everyone is dumping Diaz

Might be too risky.

But then again Southampton is a better fixture than Chelsea to start tbh.

tomorrows headline .... Jesus fires blanks :shocked:

Or with everyone expecting Arsenal to do well this year, they end up losing 3-0 tonight. Benteke hatrick, and you just know that someone out there will have him as captain, and play triple captain.

If you looked at the last 6 opening fixtures/points for both, you would not be

i sneaked in 1 insignificant change before the deadline. This team strategy is going to be interesting :laugh:

Get in Martinelli, first points of the season

[MTVN]

Your team looks good Cal, I just don't like that non playing 4.5 forward spot, it's why I decided to get Toney instead

[Calderyon]

A player owned by 77% of all players in FPL just blanked.

Thank you.

I understand your reasoning, but those 4.0 offer quite a risk regarding squad value.

[Calderyon]

One of us already played their Bench Boost chip.

[MTVN]

Decent game if you had Arsenal assets really especially defensive ones

Jesus blank annoying but he looked good enough for a while that it's not much to worry about, he'll get plenty of returns in that team

In that instance they would have had the 3 Arsenal lads plus Zinchenko at City and then did not change when he was sold to Arsenal. So the next transfer they use must be an arsenal player.

You are unable to choose 4 players from one team and then press save your team as the game wont let you

Ah ok that makes sense, ta.

[Calderyon]

I guess i have to get Haaland then.

He's ownership is going to soar back to what it was before.

Yeah and with City's run of games, i think it's a must. Im probably gonna have to take a 4 point hit in order to get him in.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Mitro is back

and this time he IS an FPL player

Haaland, Mitrovic and Zinchenko might rise up in price tonight.

Kane might drop.

[Calderyon]

Making early transfers is a big no-no though.

[Calderyon]

I chose not to get Haaland and let his price rise and Kane's drop.

Early transfers backfire.

As i was not going to captain Haaland anyway, i am going to hold strong and keep Kane. Might backfire, but that's fine.

What about these Haaland points ?

:

Interesting take on Foden from Haaland especially given that Haaland is three months younger !!


::


“I have been watching a lot of City games for as long as I can remember. Of course, then I also watched Phil and he is an amazing player.
“He is still a talent because he is still young, but he is an amazing player. He still has to develop and then we can really talk.”

haaland is now 11.6

Zinchenko 5.1 now too.

[Calderyon]

And Mitrovic is 6.6.

[Swan]

I already feel quite defeated in not having Haaland now. From what i've seen, those with Nunez don't tend to have Haaland as well. Plenty of my eggs in Nunez's basket now. Surely Klopp wont be silly enough not to start him from now on???

Slim you've got a direct line to Klopp, make sure he starts the exiting, decent, committed, passionate Nunez over the very, VERY bland and average Firmino!!!

[bots]

I had Nunez and dumped him .... i will re-evaluate in a few weeks i think

[Swan]

I think im gonna stick with him for a bit. I've seen him play twice for Liverpool now, both times as a sub, both times change the game for them.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Kane 11.4

so unless you made a weekend move :hee: you will need to take a -4 to move Kane to Haaland

[Calderyon]

I will keep Kane.

I was seriously considering the move, but ended up not doing it. I do not want to make early transfers anymore.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Kane is a good player but Haaland is in a better team and has better players passing to him

[Calderyon]

At the moment that might be true, but it's not worth a early transfer or a -4.

Also, Tottenham is not a bad team and they have Wolves and Forest on GW3 and 4.

Am i worried about not having Haaland if he plays, yes, but it's long way until Saturday and anything can happen until then.

[Calderyon]

Kane is settled, in a good team and has an excellent manager

Kane is a much better pick than haaland

Btw.

[Zizu]

Yep
He scored 86 on 87 games (aged 2021)

So imagine now with assists from KDB, Grealish , Mahrez , Gundogen and Foden

To get haaland in atm, i would probably need to do 3 transfers, im not taking -8 after GW1.

The speed of him leading up to the penalty was insane. He really did leave everyone else behind. Combine that with a natural instinct in front of goal and it's game over

I have Haaland scoring 40+ in all competitions !

He’s scored 87 in his last 88 competitive games ..

People are forgetting that he is not going to the World Cup so he will get a three week holiday and then be raring to go again after Christmas !!

Just bet on Haaland to score 2 or more every game or something. I might join you.

I have Haaland on Sky and Fan Team, so i am pretty covered either way.

If FPL goes wrong, because of him on GW2. Which i doubt.

I might change my mind if Kane is injured though.

Or if the experts go full on one way and/or a second price rise/fall is coming/about to happen.

If it happens it is going to be a very last minute thing.

My options currently are:

1. Keep Kane and roll transfer
2. Take a -4 ie: make the change + do a Money in the Bank move via downgrading a defender or a goalkeeper
3. Go for a City midfielder without taking a hit

[Crimson Dynamo]

Haaland has NEVER scored against Bournemouth

:omgno:

[MTVN]

And Bournemouth haven't conceded a Premier League goal since 2020

Salah has never scored in GW2 though so my only option is to captain Ivan Toney against United

Think im gonna have to take a -4 already. It's starting to look like Haaland is a must.

[Swan]

Instead of ummming and ahing i've just done it. Haaland and Dasilva for Son and Taylor. Taken a 4 point hit. But also now have 0.4 in the bank, and a playing player for a non playing player.

Losing 4 points this early on is probably better in the long run. It's also a tricky game week for Spurs and Chelsea players, it had to be now.

[Crimson Dynamo]

every single one of my starting 11 have a home tie!

My only away player is Rice, and im not sure im even gonna play him yet.
