Congratulations to Spider-Wan, Steven B for winning this seasons Fantasy Premier League! A GW score of 59 gave him enough of a buffer over second place The Flavians boss Andy Summers. The winning total in the OCUK league was 2322 which gave Steven an overall rank of 28,727. Well done!

I will create a new thread once the new prices and game restarts. With the League restarting on September 12th I’d expect less than a month before the game restarts.
 
Great work.

This reminded me to log in and check my other leagues (i gave up a long time ago). Saw that a mate managed to finish on 2435 with a final rank of 635 which is incredible.
That is fantastic! Since lockdown finished I’ve averaged around 72 points a week. If I’d have managed that the whole season I’d have won by a couple of hundred points! Too late, but did rise around 1 million places in OR and finished mid 240k which I’m happy enough with.
 
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride - think that's the third second place finish I've had in OcUK league :)
Agonisingly I actually swapped my C/VC over a couple of days beforehand; had I left De Bruyne as captain instead of Salah then I would've got 18 more points and taken the title, but I suppose everyone has those "what if?" moments over the course of the season. It was compounded by the fact Salah came on as sub, couldn't have predicted that, I don't think that's ever happened this season (every single gameweek, if he's played, he's played at least 69mins). I was wary of KDB maybe getting benched due to MC having loads of good midfielders and upcoming European games.

I do think the armband needs looking at, I think there should be a setting you can choose that says if your VC starts at least one match that gameweek and your captain doesn't, that you want to transfer armband to the VC. Several times I've seen myself (and others) get shafted by captains coming off the bench, you could argue it is skill or risk/reward in terms of choosing your captain, but I still think it would help to get people the option, making it a bit less lotto.
Stop putting the C on a player managed by the Bald Fraud? :p
 
Congrats to the winner - whichever forum member that is - overhauling me on the final day after being at the top of the pile since MD2.

This season has been difficult. Playing in paid games in other comps, I must have missed putting a team in for about eight matchdays in FPL, and didn't touch the side for about the first three weeks after lockdown. I think that may preclude my involvement next season, but thanks to MissChief setting this game up and those who played. It was good to have a competitive free game with lots of users involved. The main improvement I'd like to see to FPL is auto-subbing from the bench if a member of the XI doesn't feature at all. It makes having a bench all but redundant, and there is so much rotation in the game now there are too many variables.

No worries and the game does auto-sub if your first bench player creates a valid formation. If not it'll look to the second then the third. So if you have a back five and a midfielder doesn't play and your first Sub is a defender they won't come on as you can't have six at the back so it looks at your second sub. If they were a midfielder or a forward and it resulted in a valid formation they'd be subbed on.
