FPL tips for Beginners (a thread) 👇🏼
Background - I finished 15k in my first season and have had eight top 10k finishes in the last ten seasons since. 🔥
Hopefully new players, or those taking it seriously for the first time, can get some basics right with these tips. ✅

Shortlist by Price-point & Position 🧐
So, this is where my thinking is at (bold picks almost locked in subject to fitness)
Almost there then 🤥
#FPL_PreSeason
#FPL
✅ Didn’t get Solly March's goal last season
✅ Lost the Solanke points
✅ Didn’t get the Gabriel goal
✅ Didn’t get the Saka (c) assist
Can anyone match this bad luck?

Best Value FPL Players - a thread 🧵
Based on my algorithm, which includes the factors seen in the key shown here.
Note: only includes players who played in the Premier League last season.
I see that some high profile
#FPL
accounts have benched Kyle Walker ahead of Burnley (h). Privileged information being shared by the few? Or didn’t fancy City's chances this week? 🤔
😭 Dealing with a bad FPL start...a short thread! 😬
I’ve got a pretty good FPL record (see profile) but...
I’ve never known a start to the season like it! 😳
Currently ranked 4.1m 💩 and that after an almost 0.5m green arrow this week!
Cont...
If I Wildcard…
I haven’t decided whether I will yet (depends what goes wrong during this IB) but here’s my updated shortlist. Please forgive any slight price changes, I haven’t checked them since last week's)
Anyone agree / disagree with this?
Some FPL stats for you...👀
48% of the top 10k have never finished in the top 100k
81% have never had a top 10k finish
96% have never finished top 1k.
And yet, most have their chips intact
Shows the explosion of newly informed managers?

Trent has been brutal to own for the last 5 Gameweeks.
A total of 6 points over that period and now he’ll probably be injured for the double and then blanks.

Penalty Takers - a thread
There has been a lot of talk about the growing importance of penalty takers this season.
FIFA Directives appear to be increasing them and, indeed, there have been 13 penalties awarded already this season in the Premier League...
Man City - 142 goals so far this season all comps
Playing Fulham and Cardiff in a DGW
A Free Hit with these fixtures is once-in-a-lifetime FPL Territory!
Surely we can’t waste one of three precious spots on a GK / Defender?? 😮
The great thing about Fantasy Football and “FPL Twitter”? It’s an escape from the stress and grind of everyday life. We all need “happy places” right? 💗

Respect to Will for doing this - I doubt you’ll get a similar video from Zuckerberg today. Hopefully this community will forgive Will for any unintentional mistakes and support him - remember there is a person’s and their family’s livelihood behind this 💗
@FPLMate
Mainly trying to win cash leagues. There are hundreds of thousands doing this I think. I doubt you’d have an FPL career otherwise so you shouldn’t complain!
Here’s my new (and first!) feature - MY FPL WATCHLIST - these are the players who I am currently considering getting in (and don’t already have) and out. Obviously this is partly driven by my own squad but hopefully it offers some insight. 🔥 = heat rating, 💩 = toilet rating
Just scraped it - my top 10k target! Finished 9,864 in
@OfficialFPL
- a satisfying end to a largely frustrating season.
8th top 10k finish in 10 seasons.
Also finished 147th in
@SkyFantasyFooty
(getting gradually worse each year 😂)
Any Son owners out there secretly wishing they had Kane instead. This is a safe space to admit it 😉👇🏼
Anyone tempted to downgrade Son to afford the switch to Kane?
How to deal with it?
1. It’s still early and many points to be won 🔥
2. Keep plugging away - play your own game and it will come 🤞🏼
3. Focus on the decision not the outcome 🧠
4. Most of all... it’s JUST A GAME 🎲, an escape, a bit of fun 🙂...it doesn’t really matter 🤷🏽

Out of interest, what will people do if Eze suddenly becomes a doubt for this weekend due to the speculation around him going to City? Not seen a single

Here's my latest

@JoshuaABull
The Nearly Man Chip - when you play this chip you also get the points for any players that you nearly brought in until you were talked out of it by rivals or so-called experts. There is an element of trust with this chip.
This thread was partly inspired by
@FPLGeneral
's segment this week on his
@59thMinutePod
on FPL / Mental Health, which was excellent - I recommend you check it out. 👍
Which penalty takers to get in
#FPL
- an update
First, which teams are *likely* to get penalties? I've sorted this table by pen box touches per game - the more times you have the ball in the box, the more chances you have to draw a penalty...cont...
Team Selection
🔨 Pick mainly players who are nailed on to start
🎲Don't pick too many crazy punts
💰Don't put too much value on the bench
👀Look at fixtures e.g. the next 4-6 GWs
♻️Consider rotating cheap defenders based on fixtures
👇🏼
Salah and KDB as season keepers?
#FPL
⚽️ Both on pens (loads this year)
🔥But not reliant on them - score and assist other goals
✅ Playing for the two best teams and nailed on
🤷🏼♂️Can score against anyone
♻️ Focus your transfers elsewhere
So many algorithms around these days so I thought I’d make my own. It’s been pretty successful recently.
Secret formula but includes underlying stats form, team attacking stats, opposition quality, player quality, likely minutes,etc. Top 5 projected points this GW:
🔴🇧🇷 Roberto Firmino looks set to miss
#GW12
but could be back earlier than first feared.
Jurgen Klopp 🗣 “Bobby getting closer but not for the weekend. We’ll see, that will take a little bit longer still."

MY FPL WATCHLIST *post GW6 update*- these are the players who I am currently considering getting in (and don’t already have) and out. Obviously this is partly driven by my own squad but hopefully it offers some insight.

No
@FFootballHub
article this week due to the quick turnaround but I think I’ll be SAVING FT and going with this unless late news comes out or I bottle the Hazard captaincy 😀
Good luck all 🍀🤞🏼🏴
