Not really. It would spare most of us the agony of picking the wrong keeper every week.
You’re welcome
Probably a better defensive option than 95% of FPL defenders this season, whoever he is.
Not that easy, it's Brighton.
Shit, I'm looking at next weeks week's fixtures! Brighton might actually be better, one or zero clean sheets all season, something like that. Sheff Utd tightened up a bit since Wilder's appointment. I'll roll with that theory until tomorrow at least.
They're off now.
Ha, I will take it. First bout of FPL luck I've had this season
So definitely going to get a minus 4 hit now.Wow that’s a lot of fpl experience!
I think it's a lot harder, but then I have only had one year finishing under 60,000 over all in the last 8 years, when I used to be in the top 100,000 most years. There's 3 or 4 times the people playing now and there is an awful lot more resources available. There's all these experts on youtube with their own channels and web sites like fantasy football Scout and I believe Sky Sports has a fantasy football show. It's big thing now , to do well you need to be on top of things all the time. I think the people who do well must be spending a lot of hours on it. They are into analytics, spreadsheets and all kinds of statistics, I just don't have the time or the energy anymore.
I agree, it takes the fun out.
I'm similar to you (did Salah to Bowen to avoid a 0.2 swing).
Yeah if Haaland is confirmed fit I'm happy to take the -4 for Archer to Haaland. Not sure there's anyone I really want for Son so think I'd just play as is in that case and get him the week after. Gusto for Kabore or getting Estu in again is on my mind but not sure that's worth a hit either.
It's simple. Bowen/Saka to Garnacho (and bench him) then Son to Salah.
Only if Son stays out wide which I don't think he will when Maddison is back. Saka is defo on the chopping block though. Saka and Bowen to Salah and Garnacho works.
Agree. I started in 2005/06 and then stopped in the mid 2010's, only got into it a few seasons back. It has changed so much since then, like you said with the YouTube channels etc. What makes it less fun is that so many teams have the same players, almost every team has Haaland, Son, Saka and Salah, so there is less competition between friends.
A few of my friends (small group of 3) played FPL draft because of this. But the problem with that is everything depends on the first draft. And that luck is more prononunced if the league has only 3 members like we had.
I remember the days when fantasy footy scout felt like a sneaky resource.
Yep, and what a lot of people don’t realise is most of those content creators are using a model to tell them what to do with their team, and then all the content around that is just “fluff” really. So, in reality, all those following the content creators are using the same model second hand.
How do you know this for sure? I feel like the more popular ones can do anything really as they’ve built up their follower base, so why bother with a model.
I am in chats with other content creators, I’ve seen first hand how they work “behind the scenes”. Plus someone tracked one of the well known ones and his opening team and subsequent moves exactly followed what one of the main models suggested for weeks.
