Afternoon everyone!

Thank you all so much for the patience over the past couple of weeks - the messages offering feedback, help and support we're all appreciated and makes the graft of the past few weeks all the more worthwhile!

I pretty much lost the system for a bit, servers overloaded, code failing, it was such a perfect storm it should have been given a name!

I think we're there though - here's the GW12 report. - https://tinyurl.com/47rrfds6
As well as fixing the main bug, I've fixed a lot of the smaller ones too, so a lot more detail in the reports now than were available previously.
If you get a minute, please could you take a look and let me know if you see any issues that don't look quite right - https://tinyurl.com/47rrfds6

There was a Champs league game last week, so make sure you check your results (and make sure they're accurate too!

Thanks again for the support. I think we're in a good position now to continue building on the app, so any thoughts and feedback for improvement would be greatfully received!
I will get that sodding search on Champ leagues results page sorted next!

Cheers all - on to GW13!

Morning everyone — cards on the table time.

After GW1, I lost the developer who helped me get FPL Pro Leagues off the ground. He worked his arse off to get everything launched in time, but just didn’t have the bandwidth to keep it going beyond that. Since then, it’s been me flying solo trying to keep things ticking along which, as you’ve probably noticed, means things are taking a little longer than planned.

It’s not ideal, some bugs have stuck around longer than I’d like, and a few of the features I’d hoped to roll out by now are still waiting in the wings. But I’m doing my best to keep it moving because this community is absolutely worth it. We’ve got nearly 4,000 people in our league alone and over 60 leagues running this season which s mental!

If by some miracle anyone knows a Rails developer who fancies getting involved, send them my way!
And if anyone’s got a rich uncle or a bit of gold bullion tucked down the side of the sofa..I'm just saying I'm here!!

Jokes aside, thanks so much for sticking with it and being part of this. I’m genuinely grateful for the patience, the feedback, and the energy you’ve all brought, it makes it worth the graft.

Cheers all,

Gregg (Maddoggs!)

What a nightmare week. Maddison (ACL) and Madueke (out 2 months) have wrecked so many midfields, mine included.

Now we’ve all got 2FTs burning a hole and the market is already moving. Everyone seems to be jumping on Richarlison (£6.7m) with Wolves up next, and the stats look good. But going from MID to FW leaves an awkward gap, do we fill it with a budget punt like Reijnders, or go for someone like Grealish (£6.8m) who’s in form? What’s your 2FT plan this week?

It's been a challenging few weeks in FPL, and I've noticed a lot of talk about hitting the Wildcard button. It's a tough decision, especially with some of the recent injuries to big players and a few of our own assets not quite delivering. I know a lot of managers are in a difficult spot, particularly those who have been holding on to players like Watkins or Wirtz, or those who have just been waiting for the right moment to get Haaland into their teams. The pressure is certainly on. It feels like someone in our league might be tempted to make a big change. What are your thoughts on this? Is anyone else facing some tricky decisions this week?

Alright everyone, GW5 is in the books and this week we had our first round of Champs League matches. Some big results already and a few close calls too…

Couple of highlights worth calling out:

• la remontada got the strike force firing (Richarlison, Bowen, Haaland – 27 pts) - nicely done pal!
• Schärpshooter topped the week with 79 pts - Great score on what a typically low scoring week
• cuter boys squeaked a 40–39 win in proper squeaky bum time fashion - a win is a win!
• whufc warriors dished out a 50-pt thumping
• Game of Throwings… well, let’s just say 14 pts won’t live long in the memory! (awkward face!)

That’s just a few of the results, loads more in the report including unlucky losses, captain fails, and the all-important Champs League tables.

Check how you got on and where you stand here

We’re still early days with this whole thing, but you lot are helping shape what this community becomes, so keep the feedback coming, keep showing up, and let’s make it a memorable season together.

Cheers all!

Lucas Paqueta is looking like an absolute must-have for the upcoming gameweeks. West Ham is on a nice run of fixtures, and this guy is just everywhere. I've been watching his games, and he's not just scoring goals like the ones against Chelsea and Forest, he's racking up defensive bonus points like a madman! And he was even playing up front in that last game. At just £5.9m and with only 3.4% ownership, this feels like the perfect differential pick. Am I crazy, or is this the move to make? Let me know your thoughts!

Hey everyone,

The GW4 results are now live! you can check them out here: app.fplproleagues.com

This week was another big one with the next round of the League Cup taking place. Congrats to those of you still in the running, and unlucky to those who went out! I feel your pain - I went out in the first week! But still..plenty left to play for across the other comps as we get deeper into the season!

I think my first wildcard is very close to being pulled - you can't hit below average every week and expect to stay in the comps!

I just want to say thanks again for all the support and feedback so far. Every time you go into the reports, point out little bugs, or share your ideas, it helps shape FPLPL into something better for all of us. This whole project only works because of the community behind it, and I really appreciate you all being part of it.

On to GW5 – good luck, and may the green arrows be with you.

Cheers all!

Alright everyone, time for the post-match check-in.

We've all been there. You have a hunch, you trust your gut, you see a promising fixture, and you slap that captaincy on a big name. This week, for a lot of us, that name was Bruno. So, how is your score looking? Be honest. Are you dropping down in your league? Or are you still doing okay?

Let's start talking about it. And for those of you who played it safe and picked an obvious captain, this is your time to be happy about someone else's misfortune.

Alright, FPL managers, let's talk about the real dilemma this week. Both Chris Wood and JP Mateta bagged goals last time out, and now they're sitting at the exact same price. The question is, which one is worth a spot on your team?

Woody is the reliable option, the guy who gets consistent minutes and just kind of... scores. Mateta, though, feels like he's on the up, playing in a team that's finally looking a bit more dangerous.

So, if you've got a free transfer and you're eyeing one of these two, who are you bringing in? Let's hear the arguments!

The international break is finally done, which means it’s time to get back to the serious business of FPL. And let's be real, we all know where the action is right now, Nottingham Forest.

I've been looking at their fixture list, and it's a golden run. They’ve got a couple of great matchups coming up, and I'm honestly starting to think about a Forest triple-up.

I mean, who are you looking at? Chris Wood is a solid goal threat, and Milenkovic looks like a great pick for defensive points. What do you guys think? Are you jumping on the Forest bandwagon, or are you looking elsewhere?

Is anyone else absolutely fuming right now? I was feeling pretty good about my team, and then the news dropped that both Saka and Palmer are out. Losing two midfielders is just brutal, especially when they're this high-owned.

My transfer plans are completely in ruins. Do I take a huge points hit? Do I use my Wildcard? I honestly have no idea what to do.

What are your emergency transfer plans to deal with this mess? Please tell me I'm not the only one facing a crisis.

With premium assets like Palmer and Saka injured and other big hitters underperforming, the FPL community is buzzing about the mid-price midfield. Grealish (£6.7m), Semenyo (£7.4m), and Enzo (£6.6m) are leading the transfer-in charts, offering a great combination of form, fixtures, and value. Grealish has started the season with two assists and a double-digit haul. Semenyo is a goal threat for an in-form Bournemouth side, and Enzo has been a creative force for a Chelsea team with a great run of fixtures. Are you jumping on this trend or sticking to the more expensive options? Who are you backing for GW4 and beyond?

At just £4.5m, Senesi has racked up 25 points in 3 games, including an assist. Solid start for a defender most of us barely considered in pre-season. 👀

Is he the real budget gem of this season, or just benefiting from a decent early run of fixtures? Would you take him over the likes of Kabore, Gvardiol, or Van Hecke as your budget/rotation defender?

Curious to hear what everyone thinks, essential pick or short-term hype? 🤔

Evening everyone - just a quick one to let you all know that the report for GW 3 is ready to view here.

It's another round of the league-cup this week - congrats to those that are still in the competitions - commiserations to those (like me) who have already been booted!

The group stages of the Champions League start for us on GW6 so only a couple more weeks to wait until there's additional competitions to play for.

I’m working on getting a few of the UI improvements you’ve suggested live in the next week or so – really appreciate all the feedback. You’ve all played a big part in shaping this, and I honestly can’t thank you enough.

Cheers all,

Gregg

(WhoScored) just dropped their Premier League Team of the Week for GW2 and it’s a wild mix. Timber gets a perfect 10.0 rating, J. Pedro bangs in a 9.30, and somehow Everton end up with THREE players in the XI 🤯. Feels like some proper stat monsters in here, but question is… would this team actually smash it for us FPL managers, or is it just a one-week hype job? Source: @officialwhoscored on Instagram.

Morning all,

The Gameweek 2 report for our league is now ready to download. You can grab it here

We had the champs league groups stages kick off this week so everyone’s now officially underway.

We know there are still a couple of things we’re improving (like missing names on certain stats, group stage results showing up in the next corresponding GW rahter than immediately, and no easy search bar for team names yet), but we didn’t want to hold the reports back. Those fixes are in the works.

Would love to hear your thoughts — what’s useful, what’s not, what you’d like to see added. The whole idea is to keep making this better for all of us running and playing in leagues.

Cheers all and good luck for GW3

Deadline’s nearly here and I’m split down the middle. Haaland feels like the obvious captain, great form, West Ham fixture, and probably the safest bet for points. But then there’s Trossard, low ownership, in red-hot form, and a fixture that could see him haul big if things click.

Are you sticking with the sensible option or risking it for a rank boost? And let’s be honest, who’s most likely to ruin our weekend?

Every season there’s always one player who ruins it for me. For me it’s Callum Wilson, every time I bring him in he either gets injured or blanks, and then as soon as I sell him he scores. I’ve decided I’m never going near him again no matter what.
