FPL Trade Talk GW2, 2013/14

Written by MJ on August 20 2013

The first gameweek of the new season is still underway, with Chelsea v Aston Villa scheduled for Thursday 4.45am AEST. This doesn’t stop us from planning our first transfers though.

If this is your first season of FPL, you’ll need to acclimatise yourself with how the price change system operates. Contrary to SC, players’ values change according to how many managers are trading them in (or out). If a player receives a certain number of net trades in, their value will rise by 0.1m. This can cause a dilemma for FPL managers, because prices change throughout the week. Be mindful that you CANNOT reverse transfers, but you may have to make a trade early in the week to buy the player before his price rises.
Note: Making more than one trade will incur -4 points towards next week’s score for each additional transfer.

Use the above link to know who’s about to go up in value (or down). Once a player reaches 100% in the target column, their price should change by 0.1 at ‘sometime between 0.30 – 3.30 am every day’ (9.30am – 12.30pm AEST). Because Ross Barkley and Seamus Coleman had gone past the 100% threshold, their prices rose by 0.1m this morning.

Don’t worry if this is a little confusing, you’ll get the hang of it throughout the season.

So, who’s on your chopping block, and who impressed you on the weekend as a likely trade in target?

  1. Thanks for the advice on how the trades work MJ, first time at this EPL game so here it goes.

    In comes GK Mignolet, out goes Jääskeläinen.

    Best of luck to all.

  2. Having a shocker of a week. 46 with another Hazard game to go (Thank god he’s my captain!) Sterling, Coutinho, Gerrard, Walcott, Baines, Mertesacker all spudded up.

    I’ve noticed that Van Persie is kinda like the Ablett of FPL, so I need to get him in. Thinking of trading out Coutinho or Gerrard to someone cheap like Kasami and upgrading either Van Wolfswinkel or Lambert to RVP.

    Thoughts?

  3. Thx again MJ, anyone have info on Mertesacker ($5.5) and his likely hood of getting a start, was a very popular pre season choice, thinking of getting Whittaker ($4.0 and 77%)

  6. Made 2 trades this week and taking a 4 point hit due to injuries.
    Stekelenburg (Injured) ➡ Mignolet
    Gibbs (Injured) ➡ Coleman.

  7. IMO consistency is the critical, comparing FPL to SC the season is almost twice as long and knowing who has an easier run is the key but not always.

    In the EPL Home and Away fixtures are a HUGE deal as each team have their own stadium. eg. Next week Aston Villa host Liverpool, so I’ll be benching Toure with Benteke bound to score

    Also try and resist jumping on the bandwagon if you feel you have missed it, a player can go hot to cold just like that and you’ll be surprised how much points by the end of the season you have wasted on silly trades
    My rule is anything after 3 gameweeks and your too late, however this could be an exception for the RVP and the Bales of the league

  8. First year player in FPL. Ill take 61 on debut and it shouldve been 70 as i left Soldano on the bench. I thought i changed it to a 4-3-3
    Thanks for the advice MJ.

  9. 59 points so far with another game to go for Ivanovic, Hazard (c) and Lukaku.

    Had Rat as a starting defender who didnt play, and got screwed by putting S Taylor as 1st sub and Luke Shaw as the 2nd sub.. Instead of my score being 75 (+12 for Shaw), it is 59 (-4 for Taylor) costly error 🙁

    Will see if Lukaku starts tonight, but if it looks like he will play 2nd fiddle to Torres, might upgrade him to Benteke since I have an extra $1m in the bank

  10. Thing I learned: FPL, unlike SC, requires you to SAVE CHANGES.

    So, I set out my starting line-up, and either injuries/suspension/unselections caught me out, or (the far more likely scenario) I neglected to press the SAVE CHANGES.

    So, needless to say, my current starting line-up is far different than what I expected it to be. Still learning and I’ve got a grand total of 11 points this week. Sheesh.

  11. 96 points for FootyFan’s Fanatics FC, Stars were: Mignolet 15pts, Zabaleta 10pts, Nolan 11pts and Benteke netted me 36 as Captain. Lamberts 7pts were fair….let down a little with Mertesackers 1, Coutinho 3, Walcott 2, Baines 1, Anelka 2 and Hazards 8 from 2 games. (bench Davis 0, Azpilicueta 0 , Thomas 0 , Baker 1)
    First year FPL player, any trade advice would be greatly appreciated.
