If you’re about to go on holiday, want to squeeze in some advice before the Gameweek 1 deadline, or generally enjoy reading about Fantasy Premier League (FPL) strategy, it’s worth checking out ‘The FPL Playbook.’

Available on Kindle (£6.95) and in paperback (£12.95), author Gregory J Zuckerman goes into detail about how managers can use the six Fs – form, fixtures, forward planning, full commitment, finer details and fortitude – to avoid classic traps and improve the way they make each key Fantasy decision.

The FPL Playbook is the ultimate guide for fantasy football managers who want to ditch gut instinct and master the numbers game.

Blending sharp statistical insight with cold, calculated strategy, this book unveils the hidden patterns, mathematical models, and data-driven truths behind consistent FPL success.

The book dishes out advice about how to correctly use statistics, but then reinforce the advantage by having a particular mentality.

Hopefully, it can help improve your rank and help you win mini-leagues in 2026/27!

    Could never ditch gut-instinct to have a slightly better rank. No-one cares about our FPL ranks apart from us ;))

    United after Jorge Salinas. 19 year old who can play LB and CB. Doubt he'd dislodge Shaw straight away, but the competition would be there.

    Subway Socceroo Lucas Herrington having a medical at Hull. If he’s 4.0m he’s in! Can’t underestimate growing up on a diet of toast and vegemite, meat pies, succulent prawns and lots of meat! He is commended to all.

    Am I mad for considering Hinshelwood? Just a gut feel but those have proven to be wrong over and over again. Thoughts? Him or Gross?
