last years budget of £1.32 was very tight and left most players needing lots of random picks to complete the squad so may be best to increase the budget this year, especially if no random picks.

Not fixed this time, wholly dependent on how you spend your budget.

I find that rather an odd decision. For me 30 players seems essential to ensure an 11 man team. Last year I often struggled to get a team on the field.

I felt that it was unfair some people spent their budget on 6 of the best players, then got 24 for free, when I had set out to identify and spread over a squad. No freebies gets rid of this
But I do agree squads of 30 is a must because by the end it was a case of how many people I could field

No matched bid in round 1 wins you a player outright....in fact no matched bid on any round should win the player.
This will help to get idea of squad numbers quicker, which is essential without the lottery
