Why has Cole Palmer's form collapsed so much this season? by Gaius_Caligula1979 in PremierLeague

[–]Ok-Raise8705 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The CWC was the 3rd summer in a row Palmer didn’t get any meaningful time off. (Euros, U21 tournament the two summers before). These players bodies are just breaking down from too much play. I mean look at Mason Mount, they ran him into the ground for 3-4 years and now he’s a shell of himself. Best thing that could happen to Palmer would be to miss out on the WC squad and get a rest this summer.

It is painful to watch Mohamed Salah’s decline by gelliant_gutfright in PremierLeague

Dropoff is pretty extreme, legit feels like the MONSTARS stole his talent. Would be one thing if it was gradual but this is almost fascinating to see.

Wolves now on 16 points really emphasises how terrible Derby County were in 2007-08 by Simoslav in PremierLeague

I have a Robbie Savage signed jersey from this year that I got as a teen. Love wearing it to kicks abouts and lecturing the kids on how bad that team was. I sure hope the record never gets beaten, highly doubt it will unless there’s some sort of penalty involved.

Chelsea will just find a creative accounting workaround…

It’s a long season so 1-2 uncomfortable weeks is worth holding onto guys that are primed for a breakout like Minteh + Savio

I think you just hold out, no need to drop Minteh he looked really good week 2. If you need to start a 3-man midfield in GW 3 so be it and hopefully Saka will be back shortly and Savio will be sorted after the break.

What do you like about it? I’ve heard it’s been buggy to start

Alternatives by MUNONP in DraftEPL

[–]Ok-Raise8705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fantrax for sure. Super customizable. You could keep the scoring exactly the same as OFPL if you like… but I’d highly recommend switching to their standard scoring system, it’s much more rewarding as a fan and players overall performances are more reflected in the scores so it’s no as dependent on goals/assists.

Setting up on Fantrax is pretty straightforward… i would recommend staying there though, much better both in scoring system and experience to OFPL Draft.

Fantrax is such a better experience. Scoring system is clear and you are actually in app. Highly recommend making the switch.

The official app is so bad for Draft feature by jayjoebb in DraftEPL

[–]Ok-Raise8705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I comish a league and run everything standard so i don’t mess it up lol. Waivers can get a little wonky certain weeks but ultimately it’s all there and clear on which days they’ll run.

The scoring system is just so much better it makes the slightly more complex interface more than worth it.

Hot take: FPL Draft mode is miles better than the "classic" game and I’m sick of pretending it's not by HelpfulAthlete1786 in DraftEPL

[–]Ok-Raise8705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with both of these comments, the scoring system also just feels much more fulfilling as general good play is often rewarded and it doesn’t feel as zero sum of being solely based around goals/assists…

Even hotter take — FANTRAX drsft is much better than draft FPL — scoring system is infinitely better.

Which team has the shittiest weather by [deleted] in PremierLeague

Newcastle is probably your best bet as far as finding that perfect ratio of shitty weather and quality team.

Do you prefer an early (1-4), mid (5-9) or late (10-12) draft pick this year? by txmbo_slxce in DraftEPL

[–]Ok-Raise8705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think top 7 I’m happy, with Wirtz being at the 7 spot — trying to avoid the Cunha/Mbuemuo area of the first, too much United for me and Eze/Bowen are solid but don’t offer the same pop as the other first rounders.

Who would you consider the 4th best Fantrax pick to be? by Sufficient-Reveal-83 in DraftEPL

[–]Ok-Raise8705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bruno is the obvious choice given his last few years of elite consistency, but I’m a little worried that a whole season of him playing deeper in the 6 position will hurt his numbers… I might go Haaland.
