The official Fantasy Premier League game has opened for the 2012/13 season and it’s as always very interesting to see what news has been added to the game. Above all it’s interesting to see at what price levels the players have landed on. At first glance, the prices are fairly expected on the players. Most surprising is maybe the low prices on all of the players in the new teams from last Championship season. All of the players from Reading, West Ham and Southampton are [...]

Just before the transfer window closed August 31, we saw a lot of interesting transfers that may be changing the conditions for several of the Premier League teams. photo credit: Jan S0L0 Perhaps the most interesting transfers we find in the Arsenal and QPR, which both have underperformed in the first rounds of the Premier League action. In a desperate maneuver to try to cover up the gaps after Fabregas and Nasri Arsenal decided to enlist Mikel Arteta from Everton. The defense also had to be [...]

I was very excited when I found out that the fantasy premier league game had gone through a major change for this year’s Premier League season. The greatest changes we saw in the design of the site, but we were also told that the scoring system had changed in terms of bonus points. As soon as the season started we would however notice that many things have changed for the worse in terms of functions of the game. I must say that I am very [...]

Wigan will meet Queens Park Rangers in a game that could prove important in the relegation battle as we sum up the season. Here is the preview of the game.

As this weeks poll got quickly “outdated” because of the free transfers available for game week 2, I’ve decided to make a new poll with the following question “Who will be your captain in game week two?” photo credit: wonker There are many good options to choose among in the following game week. In this poll I have picked the most likely captains from each of the match pairs for you to choose from. You also have the possibility to name your own choice under the option [...]

I have made some changes to my team in the Official Fantasy Premier League game, mostly on the basis of the pre-season friendlies. This is the last team that I pick before I make my final decisions on friday on who will make it to my starting line-up. There could be some changes in my team before I announce my final decisions, but I’m more safisfied with this one than the one that I picked two weeks ago. My team looks like this right now: If it stays like this, then Wayne [...]

Following weeks poll is about who you think will be this season’s bargain in the Fantasy Premier League game. The word “bargain” is of course a relative term, but in this sense, I have used it describe a player that offers a very good price/performance ratio. If we look at last season, a player like Charlie Adam was the perfect example of a bargain. For the price of 6.0 m you got a player that scored 12 goals and had 9 goal assists. In addition to that he [...]

photo credit: wonker Here is the pre-season friendlies with results and line-ups from half of the teams in the Premier League that I have analyzed until now. Most of the teams still has one pre-season friendly left to play before the season starts. The information available about the friendlies are of variable quality, so it is not always the easiest to find what you are looking for. When all of the pre-season frendlies are played, I will publish all of the pre-season friendlies in a version that [...]

photo credit: americanistadechiapas Based on the poll conducted last week, we can see that Manchester United are clear favorites to win the title again this season. Quite surprising is that Liverpool and Arsenal are seen as the threats to Manchester United’s title dreams and that not more people sees Manchester City or Chelsea as real threats, despite their signings lately. Here are the results of the poll: 33 % of you see Manchester United as winners of the league, while Liverpool is second with 20 % of the votes. Arsenal [...]
