SaintsWeb Fantasy Football League

All,

Fantasy football is back up and running on http://Fantasy.premierleague.com.

If you want to join the SaintsWeb league which has been running for a good few years now, the code is 247756-61668.

SG

seems I have already been auto added.

Anyone who was on it last year will have been automatically resubscribed

I always add too many Southampton players out of misplaced loyalty... I am very bad at this game.

I'll be doing mine closer to the start of the season after Saints sign Ronaldo.

Ditto.

Can't even decide which one of these to put in - Got VVD /Boufal and Gabbiadini in at the moment.....

Same here... Had to trim from the 8 to 3 ... Gabba, Redmond and Bert made the cut... and had to have Jrod...

I've put in Redmond, Bertrand and Cedric

Also put in a Swansea striker, as a bit of insurance for the first day.

I'll be doing mine closer to the start of the season after Saints sign Ronaldo.

As many transfer as you want, prior to the kick off of the new season. So you can get started and include Messi, Ronaldo, Harry Kane et al when they have formally been unveiled as Southampton players.....

Cedric is a great shout

I can't seem to get the app to work to select a squad? Any ideas?

Any plans for the H2H league?

Cedric is only a good shout if he is first choice left back. Pied has the potential to challenge that though!

I'd be worried if he is asked to play left back. Better at RB.

Do we have a Sun dream team league?

My club loyalties will probably cost me points (again) this year.

I put Forster in as my main 'keeper, then picked the rest of the team. Then I realised I had enough money left for Cech. No brainer really.

I also bumped Redmond for Zaha. Only Cedric and Gabbi made the cut. I reckon this will be the season for midfielders to shine, so that's where I spent the bulk of my money.

I also opted for Cedric and Gabbi. Thought that Stephens could be a decent shout - fairly cheap and will play regularly, hopefully we will keep a few clean sheets, too!

Is thwle league being renewed? If so, what's the code?

Having come in the top 10 last year, determined to do better this season 

Hats off to the winner of last season (who I can't remember!)

Also do we have a code or even a league for the telegraph FF game?

Think I finished 17th in the end so you beat me!

Anyone starting with any saints this year? I have romeu as my midfield bench filler.

only KWP at the moment - will see where Ings washes up

I did well because I based it on a statistical approach  😉 😜

Haha excellent. I needed to trust the stats more personally. I knew Bruno was overperforming but didn't have the confidence to drop him. Tanked my rank at the end.

Having another attempt...about 10 years later. JWP is my captain, expecting him to stay!

Triple captaining Livramento for first game

He's £4.0m, could unironically be a good buy if KWP gets injured.

Is the predictor league still running as well?

I’ve got JWP as he should get a few points for his set pieces.

He was a very decent asset last season. I never grabbed him as he overperformed xG like crazy and I kept thinking he'd revert to the norm, but he never did. Got to have faith in the free kick king.

Playing every game has to have been a big point advantage as well. Hopefully he’s just as good this season.

I was part of the old Saints Web Fantasy League but haven't been part of it for last few years - even last season when I did have a Fantasy football team. I have joined for this season and at present have got Ward-Prowse in my team, though I am concerned as he is injured and not sure he will play on Saturday.

good luck all

Should we do a poll / vote each week for Captain Choice?

For Example:

1. 1. Week 1 Captain

   • Mane - Norwich (A)-  5
   • Jota - Norwich (A) -  0
   • TAA - Norwich (A) -  0
   • Toney - Arsenal (H)- 0
   • Bruno - Leeds (H) - 9
   • Greenwood - Leeds (H) -  0
   • Martial - Leeds (H) - 0
   • Havertz - Palace (H) - 2
   • Werner - Palace (H) - 0
   • Mount - Palace (H) - 1
   • Iheanacho - Wolves (H) - 0
   • Ings - Watford (A) - 1
   • Grealish - Spurs (A) - 0
   • Mahrez - Spurs (A) - 0
   • Other - 2

I don't think either of these questions were answered. Personally, as well as my Fantasy Premier League team I have also got a Telegraph Fantasy team and one on Sky Sports. I also do Super 6 predictions. If there are Saints Web leagues for any of these I would be interested in joining. Thanks!

Never played this before, do I get any points for players on my bench?

nope, unless you have played the Bench boost Chip (which can be played once a season (as can the other chips)) - probably best to save the chips for Double Game weeks (DGW's)

if a player in your starting line up doesn't play, a replacement will come off the bench as long it the team shape works (for example - you must always have a GK and minimum 3 defenders)

You can make one free transfer pw (if you dont make one, it will roll over to the next week) but you can never have more than 2 FT's (if you make more than your current FT, each one will cost you 4pts - thus sometimes if you have a lot of surgery to do to your team the Wild card gives you unlimited transfers for that week (the free hit chip is something different)

How do you move the subs around ?

You chose each week before the GW starts (once a week has started you cant do anything) - same as Cap and VCap

@egg - you get 2 Wildcards per season (1st has to be used before Jan IIRC)

Quote

The Wildcard chip can be used twice a season, once in the first half of the season (before Tue 28 Dec 13:30) and once in the second half of the season. The Wildcard chip is played when confirming transfers that cost points and can't be cancelled once played.

https://fantasy.premierleague.com/help lots of FAQ in there 

my fav chips is Triple Captain (((C))) - use this on a DGW on Salad, Kane or someone who scores lots of points!

hope that helps

That is helpful, appreciated. I thought I had 6 pts due to Ajer on the bench but seems not! I listen to the 606 pod ( had an emial read out!!! in the past) but only due to enjoyment, I took none of the strategy in lol

If we start a new league in the telegraph one - it would have to start from GW2 which is a shame - I was hoping there was one already set up

Is he your first sub? the order you place subs in is the order they come off the bench (unless as mentioned you haven't got enough GK or Defenders) thus its always worth changing the order depending on who they are playing.

If someone doesn't play (for example you have Kane) he would be substituted for the first player on the bench (even if that player is not a striker (as you can play with just one up top), if Kane was your only striker then he would be replaced with another striker

Some weeks you will have a bench packed with pts whereas you team may all on 1/2/3 pointers which is gutting! 

Perhaps the worst thing is a player needs to play for 60 mins to gain the Clean sheet bonus (DEF and MID) - and certain managers take people off around the 55mins to 59 mins which is a gutter   see Pep roulette for this

and remember if a DEF or MID gets the Clean Sheet bonus and then is subbed after 60 mins he keeps it  

but if you keep checking your score sometimes you will have the bonus then if the opposition scores after the 60 mins the bonus get taken away

Thanks very much, appreciated. Shocking start with Lacazette out but it's a marathon not a sprint/

I know Im going to have a lot of this during the season, but I knew I should have had Fernandes!!!!!

71pts with Son to go 

Think I have 11BP's to come 

so 82pts 

Salad - 3 (Cap-6)

Schmeichel - 2

DCL - 1

Ings - 1

Greenwood - 1 

oh Bruno where for art thou

this happens a lot so don't worry - i didn't have him either

In the top 5 so far, good start so far but I'm starting Adam Armstrong against united so I doubt I keep it up!

OK - Won't our points for our teams from week 1 still count though?

At the top of the league! Probably will plummet now but at least I got one week in the top spot.
