you probably make the most progress up the ranks in the final 8-10 weeks, firstly coz lots lose interest, secondly those who have blown their chips early badly struggle when the blanks and doubles come up. To quote Dory "just keep swimming"
Something that has helped my down the years: decide what moves etc you would like to make next gameweek immediately after the last one on Sunday/Monday, then consider what happens before the next deadline, listen to podcasts etc but only deviate from your initial plan if there you are really convinced there is a reason to do so. Always leave your transfer to the deadline or as close to the deadline as you can before making transfers. Finally, listen to Andy, Bb, ffscout etc, look at predicted points on review, hub etc and use these all for suggestions and guidance but ultimately your final decision should be yours and yours alone.
Every year I have played the game, the initial strategy by a lot of content creators as been "big at the back". The last 2/3 seasons everyone has then spent precious transfers getting rid of the expensive defenders (myself included).
big at the back used to be a great strategy teams cared about defense and clean sheets and the points system in fpl reflected that. Now its all about goals and all the extra minutes leads to so many late goals. Defense as a whole is second thought and if a defender cant get attacking returns and invert and everything other than actually defend they aren't "good." The bonus changes in fpl just makes all this even worse. Defenders are next to worthless now. It's more of a comparison of do I think TAA at 7 will out score the 6.5/7 mids or will Porro at 5.5 outscore the 6.5 mids? Fpl clearly hate defenders.
Last season salah was obviously better than manchester united double up with rashford and bruno and everyone still went for the manchester united double up
Last Season my FPL Resolution was to make less transfers and I ended up making 35 Transfers in 38 GWs. For me, that was a Win ✅ In short, make a resolution about FPL and stick with it until the end. That will create a habbit of Self Control in yourself which would help you in your Other aspects of Life.
What do you guys think about my selection? Raya Gvardiol, Barco, Virgil Eze, Andreas, Hudson-Odoi, Salah, Haaland, Isak, Wood Bench: Dubravka, Bobb, Andersen, Mykolenko
Heres a tip for beginners. Make sure you have a few players that everyone else has otherwise you fall behind quick but also have a couple good players that arent highly selected. Make sure you leave room for players you think might great for smaller sides. Eg - smith rowe at fulham. [ im not a veteran but have played for 8+ seasons. Dont copy people have fun and enjoy the GAME
Totally agreed coverage is nonsense. At the end of the day the amount of points you expect a player to get over the fixtures you want them for is the only thing that drives a good finish. Coverage and ownership are only hedging strategies for people who aren't confident in their decision making
Hey Andy, love your content and have been a supporter since a while now. Quick feedback on the podcast experience - I have tried the first time just now and got annoyed by getting 2 ads. I am a premium Spotify users so I thought it was an issue on their side. I spent 30min trying all sort of things to finally have someone telling me it is on your side. I am aware obviously that you need to make revenue out of this but the experience was really bad ;) Again, this is a comment from a follower and doesn't mean I like the content less! Will keep watching on RU-vid
@@metalheadsmurf2835 could it be country based? I also found that weird that I got an ad in German (from Berlin) - but then I need to shout at Spotify more haha
Hey mate, ive got a 97% rated team with Haaland, Salah, Trent and Gabriel, with the idea to either move off of Haaland at game week three, or to move off of him at game week 5 for the Arsenal fixture, and then to rebuild using the banked transfers. Do you want to take a look? I have two different versions, depending if Jao Pedro is fit or not, which is looking more and more likely. I'm stoked to implement this tactic, cant wait!!
Free transfers is a bit like football, attack for fpl points but not at the cost of defense against taking hit. Stacking up to 5 only enables you to be more flexible with your 38 free transfers you have in a season. So i would 100% avoid taking hits this season. Because you should be able to be flexible enough. Playing around 2-4 free transfers in the bank is what im aiming for
What do you guys think about my team: Henderson (Turner), Hall, Gvardiol, TAAm, (Faes, Barco), Smith Rowe, Rogers, (Nkunku), Eze, Salah, Wood, Isak, Haaland
It’s so similar to mine 😂😂 only difference is I have Raya in goals and Stewart up front, and Myko instead of Hall. Everything else is identical. I felt like I didn’t wanna risk missing out on any of the 3 premium defenders cos it’d be tougher to bring them in than take them out 🤷♂️
Covering attacking returns is definitely a thing. Leon Bailey can too cover the points that Ollie Watkins scores. When Ollie Watkins scores a goal, he was probably assisted, probably by Bailey.
Going "differential" won't be as big a thing this season, our teams will be different enough anyway as we've always got to make a sacrifice with these prices
Last year our league was won by an absolute moron that only picked template players. Took 0 risks and cruised the league. I’m going to 100% ride template this year until I absolutely have to take risks
There is no free hit this season. Pretty sure myster chip will be similair to free hit, but let you pick a 15 from a previous game week. Which is why it wont activate until 2nd part of the season. Your thoughts?
nah, I think it will be a double point chip (because there wont be many DGW's this year), so they will introduce a chip where you get double points for the whole team in a single GW? (similar to the TC chip for one player)
I need help. Which one is better: Saka and Palmer, or Salah and Gordon (I already have Isak so idk if having 2 attacking players from Newcastle is a good idea) or maybe Salah and Nkunku...
Chelsea going to struggle badly under enzo im a Leicester fan so I know his tactics won’t suit palmer, salah has downed tools cos he wants to go to Saudi isak is too much of a risk because his legs fall off halfway through game so he has to come off nkunku won’t play again due to the Enzo effect so it’s really saka and Gordon
The predicted points might have changed for some of your players and/or their expected minutes. There will be changes as we get closer to the deadline to reflect new information etc. I wouldn't panic about a minor difference like that any way, anything above 90 you should be pretty happy with, and as long as you're happy that's the main thing.
