🧵 HOW MUCH IS THE EXTRA POINT FOR MIDFIELDER GOALS & CS WORTH? 🧵 (1/5) When deciding whether to pick an extra #FPL midfielder or an extra forward, it's important to consider the benefit of the extra point for goals and point for clean sheets for MIDs, which FWs don't get.

Son has been like an #FPL cheat code for Fabio Borges, providing him 186 points (including 50 from doubling for captaincy) in just 14 GWs. Fabio is the 🐐. His opinion deserves a lot more weight than it receives.

🐐 FABIO BORGES MINI-THREAD 🐐 (1/5) Fabio Borges is the #FPL 🐐. I believe his model, which is not public but he's dropped a few hints, must be the best around. Here I'll try to guess which premiums he will start the season with:

I feel like I'm almost the only person saying KDB is a better #GW38 #FPL pick than Mane. The team laser-focused on *this gameweek*, in control of their own destiny, with all their main attackers fully fit, is City, not Liverpool.

Just to reiterate how difficult it is for forwards to score very high point totals in today's #FPL , TAA needs 13 points from Liverpool's last 3 games to match Kane's 2017-18 total of 217 points. Kane scored 29 goals that season!

#FPLNewbie Tip of the Day #1 : Your initial team is riskier than you think it is. If you think it's somewhat risky, it's actually very risky. If you think it's fairly safe, it's actually somewhat risky. To actually make it fairly safe, you'll have to aim for "very safe".

Any old-timers care to share more about why the old way of keeping your #FPL moves secret until after the deadline broke down? Revealing them ahead of time (in group chats, spaces, or whatever), esp to close rivals, feels like showing your hand to your opponent in a card game.

Seems like a lot of people who are good at #FPL captaincy say to plan it out, identify the ideal captain based on fixtures well in advance, and then ignore the noise as it gets closer to the time. This was supposed to be the week for a Spurs captaincy. Too stubborn to stick?

(5/5) CONCLUSION Despite a slight advantage in the bonus points system, forwards are still at a serious disadvantage in terms of translating goals into #FPL points. This can be mitigated substantially for those who assist as well as score goals. #FPLUSA {END THREAD}

So many #FPL managers beating themselves up after a bad GW. It's really sad to see. 😧 It's not morally suspect to say you had bad luck. Eg Son wasn't projected by models to score 21 points. He was projected about the same as other captain options.

I don't expect to gain the full benefit of #FPL FH30 over non-FH teams in GW30 alone. Part of the benefit is being able to load up on LIV/MCI/CHE/TOT players & own them before & after w/o worrying about GW30.

Salah was the undisputed king of #FPL only two seasons ago. If you'd told ppl then that he'd have a game against Luton and nearly everyone would cap someone else, they'd say you're crazy. Is Haaland so good that he's the automatic cap this GW? Not for me. Takes some thought.

Have seen quite a few #FPL content creators telling newbies to never make early transfers. Early transfers are a part of the game. They have their risks, but also benefits. And often they are fun. Trying things out is important in your first year. Builds different skills.

So much hindsight with Bailey. "We all knew he would fail!" The same people would be dunking all over the non-Bailey owners if he had done well. We're not going to get every #FPL call right in GW1. We have transfers and WC to deal w/the problems.
