When I first started playing FPL, price changes really confused me. But through my own practice, I’ve learned a lot. Let me share my experience step – by – step.
Step 1: Notice the price changes
I began by regularly checking the FPL app. Every day, I’d log in and look at the player prices. It was like a little treasure hunt. I’d scroll through the lists of players, looking for those whose prices had gone up or down. For example, I remember one time I saw a young midfielder’s price had increased by 0.1 million. I was like, “Whoa, what’s going on with this guy?”
Step 2: Figure out the reasons
Once I noticed the price changes, I’d dig deeper. I’d look at the player’s recent performances. Did they score a lot of goals in the last few games? Or maybe they had a string of clean sheets if they were a defender. I’d also check the team news. If a team was on a good run and a particular player was a key part of it, that could explain the price hike. One time, a striker’s price went up because his team had a few easy fixtures coming up, and everyone expected him to score.
Step 3: Make decisions
Based on what I found, I’d decide what to do. If a player’s price was rising and I thought they’d keep performing well, I’d consider buying them. I remember buying a forward when his price was 5.5 million, and it kept going up. It was like I was getting in on the ground floor of a good investment. On the other hand, if a player’s price was dropping and there was no sign of improvement, I’d sell them. I sold a midfielder once when his price started to fall. I didn’t want to be stuck with a player whose value was going down the drain.
Step 4: Monitor and adjust
After making my transfers, I didn’t just sit back and relax. I kept an eye on the players I bought and sold. I’d watch their games on TV or check the stats online. If things weren’t going as I expected, I’d be ready to make another transfer. For instance, I bought a defender who seemed great at first, but then he got injured, and his price started to drop. So I quickly sold him to avoid further losses.
Step 5: Learn from experience
Each transfer I made was a learning opportunity. If I made a good decision and the player’s price continued to rise, I’d note down what I did right. If I made a bad decision, I’d analyze what went wrong. Over time, I got better at predicting price changes and making smart transfers. And now, I’m not a beginner anymore. I can handle price changes in FPL like a pro!
So, that’s my whole experience of dealing with price changes in FPL. It’s been a wild ride, but I’ve learned a ton, and I hope my story can help you beginners out there!
