I'm still not quite sure how to go about picking, I started off choosing players I thought were undervalued, but the Bo7 format means that there's only room for 4 wins per team so I'm thinking maybe the best strategy is to pick players who can allkill and then go for random 1 pointers who'll get +1 when their team wins. It worked out that my team are all from different teams, I think in a balanced team that works out as the best strategy but I don't know if overall its a winning strategy.
For now:
CARLYRAEJEPSONOFFICIALFANCLUB
Main Team
3  Bbyong-On a bad run but still the best Terran on his team.
3  Best-He's good value. I'm not sure because Rain is way better but he still gets played.
2 Flying-He's played some good players and lost but I think he's undervalued. Plus dishwasher ceremony.
6  RorO-He's one of the few Zergs that isn't used as a ZvZ sniper so he's pretty good all around.
4 Speed-He was a great pick last round, now he's doubled in value but he's still top3 on T8.
9 TaeJa (captain)-A lot of the 8 point players are all-kill capable but Taeja is tried and tested at going clutch when his team are on the ropes.
3 [tlpd#teams##sc2-korean]CJ Entus[/tlpd]They got slaughtered in the last week so they're points are lower than they should be. I don't think many 4-0 sweeps will happen this round so teams like KT just aren't worth the points.
Anti Team
5 Stork He finally won a game but he 4gated
3 Zenio Now the 4th best Zerg on EG-TL
5 ZerO I think the high value snipers are worth less in this format, they moght win a game but for 5 points you're expecting more than 1 win. Also most of the games I can remember him winning were 1 base zergling baneling ZvZ's on TDA which is now removed.

You should switch out Baby or Bogus for a 3-point player, unless you really believe that they're both worse than everyone who costs 3-7...

Thoughts
Acacia --> Is on KT and i predict them to do well.
Bbyong --> Did not so great in the first round, but i still believe he's pretty good and worth his 3 points
Best --> Undervalued in my opinion. Great macro Toss just like he was in BW. I think he's going to do better than first round
Hero[Join] --> Impressed me enough in the first round to pick him, i think he's very solid in all MUs and will score some multi kills against lesser opponents.
Stats --> Did really great in the first round. Can take games off of everyone. I just hope that he get's enough playtime and flash does not slaugther everyone.
honSin --> I liked his playstyle and think he will deliver. He's verry good against Terrans especially. He only lost against Bogus and Taeja but won against Fantasy, Baby, Speed and some other guys. Since many teams have a Terran Ace (Flash, Fantasy(kind of a second ace), Taeja, Baby, Bogus) i think someone who can snipe games of these guys is pretty valuable.
CJ --> Hope they get carried by hero and had not enough points to pick KT xD
Anti:
Bisu --> Thanks for still keeping him at 3 points. He looks terribly a the moment.
hyvaa --> Hope he still does badly, altough i think he's gonna be good in a few month
Jangbi --> Overpriced. He's gonna loose a lot i think. Also his team looked bad.

For me picking TaeJa is exactly the same as picking Flash especially in winners league format. They both are capable of doing multiple all-kills in this round. I guess the win ratio made Flash more expensive, but whatever...
Revival might turn out to be the steal of the round. Such great player for just 3 points.

Went with Samsung for my anti-team, because I don't think the yhave any strong enough players to get any serious runs in matches, and they don't have the depth to deal with other teams if players do take single games.
SKT1 I think have a good solid all-kill lineup, so I dumped my remaining main team points into SKT players to get extra team points (betting the house on SKT), and then picked some ace players who might get all kills from a couple of other teams too.
I think the cost for some players is too high for a winners league format, if primary players play, those mid to high cost good team players won't get sent out much so they can't get serious individual points.

Originally had Fantasy, but I actually ended up with 2 points extra, so I bumped that up to Rain even though I think both will do equally as well in terms of all-kill potential (Rain might get sniped, etc). As my name indicates, I went with SKTT1 on this one because I saw the oddly low value on their team. Plus they have really good aces which you can see by the fact that after Rain and Fantasy, there isn't really anybody until soO that has a high value. This is good for all-kill format.
Then I chose Revival because he's apparently a good 3 point choice (originally had Zenio).

I decided to pick up two quite expensive players and the rest cheap, but with big potential. Fantasy surprised me positively last round and once effOrt's ZvP "clicks" he can become the best Zerg of PL.

I didn't do very well in round 1, but that was probably because i had hero[join] on my anti-team rather than anything else haha :p i think i am getting the hang of this FPL a bit more. let's talk through my picks:
i chose my anti-team first. hyvaa was one of the bigger disappointments of round 1 (along with STX in general) and he sports a 2-5 record, which is not really impressive. stork hasn't done particularly well either, though i'm liking khan and didn't want to pick stork. trap was pretty much the final filler, i don't really expect STX to do that well in all-kill since they seem to have a lot of moderately good players but only bogus as their sweeper. trap's on 3-3 for round 1, but two of those wins were against the worst players in the league haha.
next i chose my team; settled for woongjin stars based upon their two ace's records of 6-2 each which seemed the most impressive of round 1. EG-TL have stronger sweepers with hero, taeja and company, and i almost considered putting EG-TL as my team, but woongjin has fairly decent matchups for week 1 while EG-TL faces KT and SKT. hoping to trade over, maybe as the season goes along, but woongjin did look pretty strong in round 1.
for all-kill format, there's only four players fielded rather than six, which makes the choice of players that much more important (for lineup points and potentially games as well). having a few people guaranteed to play and sweep is good, and soulkey's my man of choice.
i see some people have chosen two ace players for their FPL (e.g. soulkey + taeja or something); i decided to only have one in my team since having two aces along with woongjin would cost me 20+ already, leaving 10 points for 5 players is not wise haha. so i went for some mid-tier players who are likely going to play and can get a game or two in jaehoon, speed and wooki. these guys have had decent stats in round 1 and hopefully are reliable enough for later on. players with 4-5 points probably can be fielded and take games, and those with 3 or under i wouldn't bet too much on. 1 and 2 pointers probably will see little play.
to round out the last two players, i pretty much went for team win points. flying has the worst record in round 1, but i think he's a bit better than his two points. as the second best protoss on woongjin, he might actually see play and take a game or two, but i'm not really relying on him for this. same thing goes for swift, haha. i needed a 1-point terran (i intend to trade speed for revival in week 2) and he seemed acceptable, though i know nothing of him and expect him to never get fielded.
hope this works out haha :p thoughts/comments? :D

Decided to bet on SKT for this one, mostly because I think KT is up for a fight vs EGL this week, as EGL is a lot more used to the all-kill format. Anti, I decided to trust my gut on going against Light. Stork on anti worked well in R1 - watch him turn a shocker on us and bust out the all-kill  Wooki... Eh. I feel like he overperformed in R1, and I don't think he can hold it up in the long run.
I would reconsider your anti team picks, light and stork is clashing against each other in the next PL match. Just a heads up

Didn't do much analysis, mostly based on who I feel is or will be doing good in the near future. Revival is very cheap with just 3 points.

Stork should be less then 5 points really..

Beware that I did terribly bad in the first round, but I have some relatively valid excuses and I learnt one or two things in the process.
My thoughts on your main team : I don't have much except that you have 3 players from WJS, even though it's your chosen team so you think they'll win a lot, I would take another 1 point player : one from SKT for example, because they are likely to earn you team wins points, and you'll have at least one from SKT vs WJS match. And if I could I would have gotten Revival, because he is fielded first against KT and someone at 3 points who was recently able to beat Leenock, Gumiho and Tear back to back with the pressure of being the ace is really scarying.
My thoughts on your anti-team :
Trap might have won against weak players, but he is on a relatively weak team and did decent in all three match-ups. He was fielded 6 times thus it is very dangerous to put him in your anti-team.
Same for Stork, he did badly but his team did so terrible that he'll be fielded so you increase the risk even more.
hyvaa is a better choice since he didn't play that much but it's quite a dangerous strategy to put 3 "mid cost" players in your anti-team, as they can win some games and are fielded a lot.
For anti-team the best strategy would be to send out players from a team who will lose A LOT like SKhan did in the past, but it's a big gamble since if they don't do as bad you are screwed. If you put an ace and two players who never play you only gamble on one player, and except if he goes full Summer TaeJa, or GSTL's DRG, you won't lose that much.

TaeJa's my favourite player, so he's set as captain for the whole season.
I wanted another ace besides TaeJa, and Soulkey seemed a pretty decent choice for 8 points (tossup vs herO).
Revival was just 3 points, too cheap not to pick.
Bbyong was also just 3 points, but I think he's pretty good.
Flying utterly failt in round 1, so he's just 2 points. Better make this work.
Mini will hopefully prove to best the least worthless 1-pointer.
My anti is full samsung. I had Jangbi last season and traded him away just before his ace win T_T
Team is SKT, didn't want to gamble between CJ and STX. KT was too expensive, hoped EG-TL would be 3-4 points but is still 6 o.O
