Tips and Advice
Here I’ll be adding a series of articles and guides that will hopefully help you during that crucial team selection lineup and even throughout the season. Click the links for each one to read the articles in full.
General Player Selection
An insight into general things to consider when selecting a lineup for the season. There are specific things to take into account for positions like Goalkeepers and Defenders which I will go into in another article. This one however, just looks generally at how you identify and more importantly, rule out players for your team. This isn’t written with any particular Fantasy Game in mind, it applies to them all. Squad games give you more freedom to risk an injury prone player or perhaps one who picks up a few cards. However, even in these games, injuries, suspensions and dreaded rotation can be an acute pain in the posterior. Anyway, here’s some points to consider before you snuggle up to that player list…
Selecting a Keeper and Defence
Selecting a Goalkeeper and a set of Defenders is probably the least glamorous part of your Fantasy Football selection process. Unlike choosing Midfielders and Forwards, to a great extent, it’s not the individual players you look for, but the effectiveness of the defence of their real life clubs. With this in mind a good proportion of your defence and indeed, your Goalkeeper, almost picks itself without the need of any masterstrokes on your part. Having said that, I’ve always found that some careful thinking in the construction of my defence and the selection of my keeper, can, just like in real-life, provide a solid foundation for the rest of my side. If you can be happy with 75% of the players in those positions, it can free up transfers for Midfielders and Forwards where some inspiring decisions can come into play.
Selecting Midfielders
These tips guides continue to prove popular so here’s the latest. In this one I take a look at selecting Midfielders and talk through a process that can be used to narrow the player list and make it easier to compare players using a number of factors. That’s all probably nonsense but I’ve also included a load of player tips, which is probably nonsense too, but will hopefully encourage you to take a look.
Selecting Forwards
Having spouted no end of nonsense about the theories behind selecting Goalkeepers, Defenders and Midfielders, my fourth and final tips guide examines the fine art of selecting the Forward players that will win your leagues. The process I’ve gone through with these guides might be logical, but I can’t make the same promises about the content. Regardless, once again the article is full of my opinion on the players you have in front of you when you’re consulting that player list over the next fortnight so you might, just might, find something useful amongst the seveal thousand words I’ve written.
