Meet the Manager #9 – Marc Rubinstein

1,193 Comments

Fantasy Premier League managers can learn a lot from the financial sector, according to our latest Meet the Manager guest Marc Rubinstein.

With three top 5,000 finishes in his FPL career, he has a strong track record of success. This is something he attributes in part to his 20 years of experience in the financial sector, including a stint as a partner for one of Europe’s largest hedge fund firms.

In our chat, Marc looks at how key financial services issues around diversification, risk management and data analysis can be applied to Fantasy Football management.

He reveals how Richarlison will help him not to lose, but not necessarily win, and why Newcastle-era Andy Carroll may well have been one of the greatest FPL investments of all time.

The battle between luck and skill is also explored and why the proliferation of expert managers and information is making it harder each year to achieve the number one spot. This theme is explored further via this Twitter thread from Marc.

But his approach is not based purely on analysis, theory and data. Marc also reveals how his emotional ties with Liverpool has a direct impact on each of his campaigns.

The chat with Marc is available to view on Youtube here and in the embedded video below.

    Wilson and Fraser too much?
    Thinking about Wilson > Jimenez or give him this week?
    Want to push funds into midfield.

        It’s probably an agonising keep them until after Huddersfield. Benching one or both for the City game inbetween. Duffy on my bench plays Huddersfield so 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 that week.
        Thanks.

      There’s nothing wrong with Wilson. Just having both Fraser and Wilson have tough fixtures. Plus I have more value tied up in Fraser.

    Aguero, Jiminez (Arnautovic)

    1FT, 1.3m ITB, WC remaining.

    A. Mendy > Chilwell (rotates with Doherty)
    B. Mendy > Digne (potential but dodgy defence)
    C. Mendy > Duffy/Dunk (short term)

    Either way it would free a City slot and allow me to get another of their attackers soon.

    Just a little thought (my brain only does little thoughts):
    both Liverpool (Wed) and Man City (Tue) have absolutely vital Champions League matches next week. I would think that it's quite possible that their primary assets might have reduced minutes at the weekend. Could be part of the captaincy decision?

      Very good point, if either team is in a comfortable lead there’s a good chance they’ll be getting subbed off especially Kun it’s been the same all season

    With the 2019 Asia Cup starting in the beginning of January and going on until Feb 1st, I thought I would check my team for likely candidates that may be affected.

    Hopefully the research is useful to other Managers, as they may be away from GW 20 to GW26 and I had a couple that I will have to sort out in the upcoming weeks.

    I know some of the players are injured and some may not be picked for their National team, but if I have missed any others it would be great if someone can add them in the comments.

    Goalkeeper
    Etheridge - Cardif - Phillipines
    Ryan – Brighton – Australia

    Defender
    Mooy – Huddersfield – Australia
    Yoshida – Southampton - Japan

    Midfielder
    Ki Sung-Yueng – Newcastle – South Korea
    Son – Tottenham – South Korea
    Kayal – Brighton – Israel
    Jahanbakhsh – Brighton - Israel

    Forward
    Muto – Newcastle United – Japan
    Okazaki – Leicester City - Japan
