Analyzing the Premier League player’s price tags

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 [...]

What do you think about the new updates in this year’s Fantasy Premier League game?

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 [...]

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.

Who is this season’s bargain in Fantasy Premier League?

Who is this season’s bargain in Fantasy Premier League?

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 [...]

Will Man. Utd be Champions again this year?

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 [...]
