Petition for "How did X play?" to be stickied over the weekend, instead of Daily R M T
"How did X play?" is one of the most valuable resources on the subreddit, and is most useful when it has lots of contributors pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of a player's performance. I think it's far more helpful to the average user than yet another RMT thread, which are more useful during the week, after the games have finished.

Does anybody think the FPL pro guys have ruined fantasy football?
I’ve done FPL for 15 years and it has always made every week fun of the premier league until you realise youre no longer in contention to win the league. Most seasons I give a good challenge for the title in our league and have won it a few times. In the last 2/3 years the same couple people kept finishing top 2 and I was no longer getting close to them.
Last season I noticed their teams being very similar to each others and even having the same obscure players as each other and bringing them in on the same gameweeks. After a bit of questioning and asking who they watch on YouTube etc, I realised they have a couple pro FPL guys that they literally use every week to choose the next player to come into their team. If you look these pro guys up they have all sorts of spreadsheets and do ridiculous research into fantasy football that only someone paid to do it can do.
To me there is no fun in doing this as surely the fun of competing against friends is wanting to use your own ideas and knowing you’re Beating them on your own thoughts and nobody else’s help. Arguably borderline cheating in my opinion. This season is the first year I’ve not done that league and have set one up with a few other who shared the same opinion. Wondering if anyone else feels it’s not as good as when it wasn’t so detailed like it is now and having the best players in the world sharing their ideas to everyone?

Didn't expect Slot to be so blunt, here. Subbed Quansah off because he lost too many duels and it meant we couldn't control the game.

So far, which % of players did make you surprised?
For me, it is Chris Wood. Only 5.5% owns him. He had a great pre-season. Forest's fixtures are good in the first 3 gw.
I have him in my team and hopefully, he will be big differentiate!
What about you all?

@r_FantasyPL
is it me or people don't "play" fantasy premier league anymore?
just an observation based on squads i see in the groups i'm a part of, they all seem to copy squads from fpl pundits, almost all of them have the same premium/differential players. i noticed a lot of this last season too. not that there is anything wrong with it, but i find it somewhat pointless to play fpl if you just copy some experts opinion (besides some rewards for winning your local group). has it always been like this?

If you ever get the opportunity to go to FF Fest, dont bother.
So I went to this year's FF Fest, which is something they do every year for the beginning of FPL. For £25
Sold as a place to meet other FF managers and content creators, prizes, quiz, comedian, and hear a talk from Blackbox FPL. With the GW 1 match being played after.
First off it felt like an event exclusively for content creators to mingle, and your existence an annoying necessity.
They were sticking to themselves and made it very obvious they were wary of talking to others.
Also Matt from Above Average was chain smoking/swearing loudly and FPLMate came across as a right little smug prick. Puts me off ever listening to their content again.
The quiz was something they flashed on a screen you had to play on your phone, just guess the player/staduim. Pretty useless, the talk from Blackbox and the comedian was some little chat they had on mics over the music that you couldn't really hear or see.
They offered you a free drink token, turned out it was only for cans of Stellar or Bud, got a Bud, tasted sour, was obviously out-of-date stock they were trying to shift. As soon as the game was over they kicked everyone out.
All in all what a shit event and a waste of money.
If you're ever in a position to attend, avoid it.

The Eye-Test - GW1 - Part 1
# Ipswich - Liverpool
The first half of this game was pretty boring and disappointing from Liverpools side. We don´t have to talk about this first half to be honest. Quansah was replaced after the first half, because "he won to less aearial duels". Difficult to say who will start next week, but i think it´s more likely that Konate will start. TAA was pretty awesome - he won most of his duels defensive-wise and created 3 big chances. He really should have got at least one assist. Salah did Salah-things - he really destroyed the non-believers - was involved in most of the attacks and his points are fair. Jota and Dias both looked tempting - both should have scored at least 1 goal (more). No Ipswich-Player really catched my eye - but they defended pretty well in first half.
Man of the match - Mo Salah
# Arsenal - Wolves
Arsenal showed a really strong performance against the Wolves. I think Havertz was a bit lucky to pick up that many points. Yeah he had this one header, but his assist was just a normal pass to Saka, who took this shot pretty well. Saka was easily the best man on the pitch offensive-wise. He´s getting better and better with every season. Odegaard had one great long-distance shot, which was saved by Sa. The defenders all showed a solid performance, but only White got into the penalty area sometimes. Good old Matt Doherty was very offensive - even against an opponent like Arsenal.
Man of the match - Bukayo Saka
# Brighton - Everton
Popular fpl-asset Joao Pedro only had one shot on the post, which is worth to mention. Danny Welbeck showed an suprisingly impressive performance. But it´s very likely that he´ll be replaced by Evan Ferguson who will be back to full fitness soon. For me Mitoma was the best man on the pitch fpl-wise. Why has nobody talked about the guy, who was popular in fpl before his injury. With 4 shots he had more than any other player on the pitch. He´s definitly one to watch. From Everton´s side one Jack Harrison is worth to mention imo. He looked really good and could be a nice option at 5.5.
Man of the match - Mitoma
# Newcastle - Saints
Southampton was the better team - by far. And this red card for Schär destroyed the whole game for Newcastle. And for me it was not a red card - Ben Diaz was acting like a little child...shame on him. Adam Armstrong showed a impressive performance and he definitly showed have scored - he´s one to watch. William Smallbone could also be an option at only 5.0. As mentioned Newcastle had huge problems after the red card. Isak and Gordon did not have much chances to shine. And than McCarthy made a horrible mistake and throw the ball to Isak, who passed to Joelinton.
Man of the match - Adam Armstrong (sadly he was that wasteful)
# Bournemouth - Forrest
I guess 1-1 was a very fair result for this game. No one was really standing out to be honest. Wood took his chance really well, but he only had this one big chance. For the cherries Tarvernier and Semenyo are worth to mention. Both had some shots and could be worth their money. Defensive-wise Neco Williams showed a great performance and he also created one big chance up front.
Man of the match: Semenyo (but it´s a close call)
# West Ham - Villa
From West Hams side i was impressed by Thomas Soucek - He won the penalty and had some great chances. He could be a gem at 5.0 this season. Parqueta took the penalty very well...but that´s it about him. Tielemans impressed, but he´s not really interesting fpl-wise. Leon Bailey hit the post once and got in lot´s of dangerous situations - he´s one to watch for sure. Fpl-favourite Rogers showed a solid display - nothing to worry about if you have him.
Man of the match - Soucek
