A simple Seasonal wish - directed to the Gnomes (or Elves) at FPL Towers....
As I complained at the end of last season, the 'Player Info' screens on the FPL website are an absolute abomination. Of course, our FPL overlords didn't take my observations about this onboard and implement any of the simple improvements I suggested in that post - not even the very elementary one of, if you insist on it being a pop-up screen rather than a full screen to be opened in a new tab, you could at least make it a BIG pop-up, near full-screen size, to obviate the need for those maddeningly fiddly scroller bars.
In fact, they've contrived to make this horrendous aspect of their UI design even worse this year, by making it into an even smaller pop-up.
Because of this, I've rather got out of the habit of using this feature at all. I get nearly all my stats from elsewhere now - even though it can be a little bit of a pain-in-the-arse to have to dodge around multiple different sites (or to have to resort to Google to try to find a source for something) rather than being able to find everything you need easily within FPL's own website.
So it was that I've only recently noticed that in addition to making the 'Player Info' pop-up screens unusably titchy, they've also dropped the match scores for the gameweeks from the first label-column on the left. We must be grateful, I suppose, that they still deign to include the name of the opponent, and whether the fixture was home or away, and whether it ended in a win, loss, or draw... But no scoreline?? Really??
It has become hard to tell if the management of The Fantasy Premier League enterprise are very stupid, very lazy, or just utterly contemptuous of the game's users. I rather suspect it must be ALL THREE.
