So, I’ve been into Fantasy Premier League (FPL) for a while now. I started off like a total newbie, just picking players I’d heard of or ones from my favorite teams. It was like a shot in the dark, you know?
I first made my team by simply going through the list of well – known players. I picked Harry Kane because, come on, who doesn’t know him? And I got Mohamed Salah too, ’cause he’s a beast on the pitch. But after a few gameweeks, I realized my team was underperforming big time.
Then I started doing some research. I watched videos of top FPL managers talking about their strategies. One of them said that you gotta look at the fixtures. So I got this big calendar and marked all the easy and tough fixtures for each team. I was like a detective, trying to figure out which players were gonna have a good run.
I also learned about the importance of budget management. I had to make some tough decisions and sell some big – name players who were in tough fixtures. I swapped Harry Kane for a cheaper forward who was in an easier run of games. It was nerve – wracking, but I knew I had to do it.
I started paying attention to the stats too. Things like goals, assists, and clean sheets. I made a spreadsheet to keep track of all the players’ performances. It was like I was running my own little football analytics firm.
As the season went on, I kept adjusting my team based on the fixtures and player form. I even joined some FPL communities online. I’d ask questions and get advice from other managers. It was like having a team of experts helping me out.
After a few months of hard work and constant tweaking, my team started to climb up the rankings. I was so excited when I saw my name moving up on the leaderboard. It was like all my efforts were finally paying off.
So, what makes the best FPL team? Well, from my experience, it’s a combination of doing your research, managing your budget, and being flexible. You can’t just stick with your favorite players; you gotta make smart decisions based on the data and the fixtures. And don’t be afraid to ask for help from other managers. After all, in the world of FPL, we’re all in this together!
