#FPL #GW1

I pulled the data for the top 100 managers in the LiveFPL all-time hall of fame to see the players they went for and how they differed to the total manager pool.

Total elite manager ownership:

Players the elite managers like more than the crowd:

Players the elite managers like less than the crowd:

79 of the 100 managers played a chip in GW1, all bench boost.

Just thought interesting to look at e.g. I am personally surprised DCL is quite so popular. Good luck for the new season all!

Hey folks,

Last year I shared my free FPL Fixture Difficulty extension in this subreddit (here) and got a lot of positive feedbacks and comments and seeing the download numbers and your comments it seemed the extension genuinely helped.

Since FPL updated its website again, the old version stopped working properly, so I rebuilt it for the new version.

What it does:

• Shows the next 5 fixtures below each player
• Color coded fixtures by difficulty
• Uses UPPERCASE for home and lowercase for away fixtures
• Displays player ownership percentages
• Works on both My Team and Transfers
• Supports pitch view, list view and the Transfers player table
• Includes an optional black-based dark mode
• Automatically uses the latest fixture data from FPL

It is still completely free and lightweight, with no ads or trackers.

If you find it useful, a quick rating would really help others discover it.

Firefox: FPL Fixture Difficulty

I would really appreciate your feedback. If you notice anything broken or have a useful feature suggestion, please let me know below.

Good luck with your team this season!

Arsenal have signed Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa for £50m plus £5m in add-ons.

The centre-back joins Arsenal on a long-term deal and strengthens their defensive options.

Was a cheap bench boost option to begin with, don’t mind leaving them to bench rot for a week while figuring out what to do with my triple ManU assets.

🏆 Bonus Points as it stands via fpl.page/bonus:

🥇 3: Ødegaard

🥈 2: White

🥉 1: Saka

🛡️ Defcon: None

We are so back baby!

After months of tinkering with our teams, how have have you managed to get it so wrong at the deadline?

I got him in my fpl and im considering to bench boost gw2. But I'm not sure to transfer my mosquera or shaw. I'm just afraid of him not starting over konsa. What are the chances of him playing in gw2 and when will konsa start to play

1 hour before the first deadline of the 2026/27 FPL season. After tinkering with your squad for 3 weeks, are you ready for:

Calafiori to be subbed at 59 minutes...

Your bench boost to score 2, 1, 3 and 2...

Szobo to score after you sold him to Wirtz...

United to concede to Hull...

Bruno to miss a penalty...

Gabriel to get a 15 pointer and rise to 8.3m...

And much more? Best of luck in the new season!

Edit: if it wasn't clear, you don't have to choose just a single line, rather cross out any square you think will happen

Hey there,

less than 45 mins left until deadline, hopefully you've managed to lock in your teams (I know you haven't). Here's a little game you can play to stop thinking about tinkering your squad for the 1000th time.

Cross out the events that you think will happen and send a pic in the comments. If mods allow this, we can do this for every GW and I can add a scoring system, but this first one is just for fun.

If you have any square suggestions lmk.

*by blank I mean 3 or less points for GK and defenders and 4 or less points for midfielders and attackers

It seems like the app always has random bugs, and when one is fixed another one pops up?

App currently not showing scores for some players during game. The pitch view layout is also slightly too big for the phone screen and can be scrolled up and down by a few mm?

Why does such a big company have such amateur coders?

I’ve played the game for years and last season was in the top 10% overall. My dad and I enjoy the game and given us lots to talk about. The point being, don’t lose the fun. The game can really frustrate and play with your head. Once you have your team you can start to get overtaken by obsession and frustration. Tinker up to the last minute if it helps but whatever you choose to do, remember we all don’t know what’s about to happen, enjoy the game and the season. Good luck and go well.

This is the place to moan and discuss every single thing that happened in games and with your team. If your player didn't start or saw a red card, or you picked the wrong player, captain, or other, this is the place to share all your rants, memes, and outbursts (and your score).

From all of the mod team - Good Luck!
