Fantasy Premier League is open again as of tomorrow (don't know the exact time though), and there are three major rule changes from last season;

  • Slight change to the transfer roll over rule introduced last season - this time around, a rolled over transfer isn't lost if it isn't used - you can keep on rolling it over to the following week, but you can still never have more than two free transfers in a GW.
  • Own goals now score minus points. Meh. Won't affect team selection/strategy really. Although I won't be picking Dunne this season.
  • The BIG change - there's a second wild card! Available only in January to coincide with the transfer window, if it isn't used then, it's lost. Brought in after last winter's big freeze ****** up so many players.
I'm disappointed to see there haven't been any changes to the emergency captain rule... Anyway, still loads of time before the start of the season, and it's completely pointless making a team now, but for those of you who like FPL as much as me, this should at least help with the withdrawals.
 
Good luck with that, and well played! Leagues with friends/colleagues are great for the banter. Our work league will have a few new entrants, so prize money should be three figures per month.
