Re: FPL 23-24
I think the game froze right before 1:30 for a bit.

Why are you complaining? You’re up to (checks notes) one point!

With two defenders who didn't get any minutes, you should get Salah automatically subbed in.

Re: FPL 23-24
Anyone with a better idea than me to figure out if someone is likely to play? I don't know any of these mid to lower tier teams well enough (nor some of the bigs ones, for that matter) and I have no clue about depth charts. I see there's an infographic that tells likelihood of playing, but I think it's hard to round out a team because it only shows me 10 players or so at a time.
I'm not looking for tips other than how to find players that are likely to play. More of a gameplay mechanics thing than any kind of fantasy help.

Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.

Not really other than anyone on Twitter with FPL in their name. Lots of the people who do paid advice also give out some free advice re: starters. Also, for as great as City are, Pep is a roster rotation freak.

Re: FPL 23-24
Thought I had it lined out and ended up dropping someone I didn't mean to!

Re: FPL 23-24
That sucks when you only get one move per week. AB, I’m still learning, too. I made a move, then realized I wished I had done a different one!

Re: FPL 23-24
Another Friday game this week. Deadline should be 1:30 EDT tomorrow. Also, in the early weeks of the season, especially week one, the system has a history of crashing before that 1:30 deadline. Usually if there's some big roster announcement about a sub or injury.

Salah could be a good captain pick this week, but I don't have him.

Re: FPL 23-24
I think that when this week is completed, I’ll probably be in last place. Yay, me!

I am losing to "average' in the h-2-h league.
Re: FPL 23-24
I'm guessing my strategy of somehow playing a squad worse than my own every week is not a sustainable one?

Re: FPL 23-24
a little confused on how often we can "transfer" - is the 2 free transfers a per-week thing or for the season?

Re: FPL 23-24
You get one free transfer each game week. You can carry it over to the next week, but you can't carry over more than one (i.e. you can't ever have three free transfers).
EXCEPT, if you use one of your Wildcards. You get one wildcard in each half of the season. One to use before game week 20 starts, and one to use after. A wildcard allows you to make as many transfers as you want with no penalty.
You also cannot carry over your wildcard (i.e. can't use one in game week 22, and the other in game week 30).
You also get one Free Hit per season. That's for one game week, and then your roster reverts back to whatever you had the week before. So, you have a roster for game week 17, use a free hit and substitute as many players as you want for game week 18 with no penalty, then your roster for game week 19 reverts back to whomever you had in game week 17.

Re: FPL 23-24
Learn from my mistakes - unless it's the Guardian, BBC or a legit news source, ignore all of the rumours that you read.
I put Maddison on the bench because of many reports that he was out for today's game.

Re: FPL 23-24
Any week now I'll be done getting rid of players who never play. Or transferred on loan. Any day now. Then you're all in trouble. Also just figured out you don't have to run a 4-4-2.

I wish I could find a good dependable site to tell you if a player is likely to start.

Friday game again today (first Luton home match). FPL transfer deadline is 1:30, but I'd get them in before the last minute.

Re: FPL 23-24
Used my unlimited wildcard and pretty much changed my entire team.

Re: FPL 23-24
Just looked at last week's results because I was sure I lost. Somehow in 3rd place despite tying for the lowest score last week.

Re: FPL 23-24
having trouble with transfers...
On the Transfers tab - i want to drop 2 midfielders so i've selected each and hit "remove" - then over in the list on the right i selected a forward but it tells me i have too many forwards... i have just 3? can i not have more even for reserve? i'm sure i "changed my formation" after week 1 which i think was simply swapping in a midfielder for a forward or something simple like that.
Has to be something simple i'm doing wrong or steps out of order - couldn't find the right section in the FAQ either. anyone have an idea?

Re: FPL 23-24
You can only remove one player a week unless you use your unlimited option.
