Hypersubs provides an alternative way to set your Supersubs in Fantasyleague.com's Classic Premier League fantasy football game.
Hypersubs automatically makes clear-cut choices for you, like fielding all of your full backs when you have no more than two active in a set of fixtures. On those few occasions when you have to leave an active player out, Hypersubs lets you choose. If you want, Hypersubs can also highlight your defenders' dangerous fixtures.
Here is a screenshot of a "complicated" situation, in which lots of your players are playing at the same time and you have to make choices in various positions. You click on the unselected players to move them onto the pitch. Assuming you've built anything like a reasonable squad, most kickoffs are much simpler than the one in the screenshot, and all you have to do is click Next to confirm the lineup that Hypersubs automatically suggests.
Other features:
- Adjustable user preferences. For instance, you can change which opponents Hypersubs highlights as dangerous for your defenders to play against.
- The subs confirmation page highlights non-playing players more clearly.
- Direct links to the subs page from the Your Teams section so you don't have to go through the default team screen.
- Shows a Transfers Left column on Friends & Enemies and Premier League pages.
- A More Info button allows you to conveniently access some pertinent info about each of your teams (points, position, transfers remaining, and whether subs have been set).
- A "massage Zlatan's ego" option.

LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS
This version of Hypersubs is intended to be compatible with the Fantasyleague.com Classic Premier League competition as of August 2016. Other competitions are not supported.
Hypersubs relies on the existing structure of the Fantasy League web site. It will stop working properly as soon as Fantasy League change how their Supersubs pages are structured.
Use at your own risk. This program was written as a personal exercise to learn the basics of a few technologies. It may well have bugs. Always be sure to check the Fantasy League site or their confirmation email to be certain that everything went right!
