Everyone take a moment and pull up a chair. It’s time for a short Fantasy Soccer economics lesson by my friend Cullly from the r/FantasyPL subreddit and TotalFPL site.
The whole point of Fantasy football games is to find value players.
This is a really short version of what we chatted about at TotalFPL the other night. Essentially, if you are able to get players in your team that add value, you will have more money to spend on players. All of this is based on transfers. The more transfers of a player the more his value will change (either rise or fall). Cullly is currently working on trying to get a site up that will help see how close a player is to having a price rise or fall. Until then, I’ll try to post some of the information here (It’s long).

any idea of what time the price changes happen?
Right now, I’m not 10% sure. The MLS main office is in Manhattan so I’m assuming 12:01 EST.
I’m going to keep an eye on it tonight before I go to bed to see.
According to this page:
http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/03/06/mls-fantasy-insider-information-secret-formula-buying-low-and-selling-high
it’s updated everyday at 3AM ET.
I did read that today. I have some reason to believe that that may not actually be 100% correct. But I don’t really want to get too much into it because my friend is still looking at his numbers. I’ll be sure to write a post about it when he’s finished.
Thanks for the link!
