Fantasy Premier League 2016/17

[timzim]

Has anyone set up a FPL Edugeek league this year? I was added automatically last year but they've changed the layout entirely this year so I can't see if that will happen again.

 

There's a page for Renew your Private Leagues but it doesn't appear to work.

How does this all work? I'd be interested in giving it a bash, but I have no idea how these fantasy teams figure themselves out.

To put it simple: You pick a team, you have £100m to spend.

Each week depending on how that player/team players you get points (More for if they played better)

Capitan gives you double points, vice capitan is in case your cap doesnt play it moves onto vice.

 

Keep on top of the team, transfer out injuries etc!

A bit more on how points are awarded, copied from the fantasy football website

 

During the season, your fantasy football players will be allocated points based on their performance in the Premier League.

[/TABLE]

Clean sheets

A clean sheet is awarded for not conceding a goal whilst on the pitch and playing at least 60 minutes.

If a player has been substituted when a goal is conceded this will not affect any clean sheet bonus.

 

Red Cards

If a player receives a red card, they will continue to be penalised for goals conceded by their team.

Red card deductions include any points deducted for yellow cards

 

Assists

Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the final pass before a goal is scored. An assist is awarded whether the pass was intentional (that it actually creates the chance) or unintentional (that the player had to dribble the ball or an inadvertent touch or shot created the chance).

If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded.

 

Rebounds

If a shot on goal is blocked by an opposition player, is saved by a goalkeeper or hits the woodwork, and a goal is scored from the rebound, then an assist is awarded.

 

Own Goals

If a player shoots or passes the ball and forces an opposing player to put the ball in his own net, then an assist is awarded.

 

Penalties and Free-Kicks

In the event of a penalty or free-kick, the player earning the penalty or free-kick is awarded an assist if a goal is directly scored, but not if he takes it himself, in which case no assist is given.

 

Finalising Assists

Assist points awarded by Opta within Fantasy Premier League are calculated using additional stats which may differ from other websites. For example, some other sites would not show an assist where a player has won a penalty.

For the avoidance of doubt, points awarded in-game are subject to change up until one hour after the final whistle of the last match of any given day. Once the points have all been updated on that day, no further adjustments to points will be made.

 

Bonus Points

The Bonus Points System (BPS) utilises a range of statistics to create a BPS score for every player. The three best performing players in each match will be awarded bonus points. 3 points will be awarded to the highest scoring player, 2 to the second best and 1 to the third.

Examples of how bonus point ties will be resolved are as follows:

 

• If there is a tie for first place, Players 1 & 2 will receive 3 points each and Player 3 will receive 1 point.
  
• If there is a tie for second place, Player 1 will receive 3 points and Players 2 and 3 will receive 2 points each.
  
• If there is a tie for third place, Player 1 will receive 3 points, Player 2 will receive 2 points and Players 3 & 4 will receive 1 point each.
  

How is the BPS score calculated?

 

Players score BPS points based on the following statistics (one point for each unless otherwise stated):

*Net successful tackles is the total of all successful tackles minus any unsuccessful tackles. Players will not be awarded negative BPS points for this statistic.

Data is supplied by Opta and once it has been marked as final will not be changed. We will not enter into discussion around any of the statistics used to calculate this score for any individual match.

Made Costa my captain and playing triple chip as he is against Burnley. You watch, now he's in my team he won't score and probably get sent off!

Don't even have him in my team, too card happy for my liking!

[ICTDirect_Dave]

After a rather inspired (read: lucky) choice of Lukaku as captain for the most recent gameweek, I now find myself top of the league.

 

Bow before my jamminess!

@ICTDirect_Dave , stop celebrating your birthday and renew it for this season!!
