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!

    Thinking I may start without Haaland, FH for GW3 for City, Villa and Liverpool, and then move to Haaland for Sunderland (H) after saving transfers

    Currently own MGW, not sure whether to downgrade him and improve defence?

    Kinsky, Verbruggen
    Thomas, Ballard, V.Hecke, Muharemovic, Canvot
    MGW*, Mbeumo, Semenyo, Wirtz, Le Fee
    DCL, Haaland, JP

      Keep him but downgrade Wirtz and use the cash to turn a forward into Isak.

    Haaland returned to training today. Only Rodri not back, actually.

    Any reason why Califiori seems to be replacing Mosquera as the Arsenal 5.5 of choice in the more recent drafts or just another RMT bandwagon? See also: Hume being rejected for a good few days before making a triumphant return, Groß as the default 5.5 mid, near-universal BB1 or BB2 (including me).

      Have you watched Califiori and Mosquera play? Hume scored in pre season and still playing OOP, prefer Gomez to GroB as cheaper, always get BB out of the way, people are learning well!

    AI generated text on the front page always makes me very keen to buy a book...

        Very obvious to clock the way AI structures its sentences.

        The 'wether its x or y, this is your chance to A or B' and the copious amounts of unnecessary adjectives to make it sound verbose while adding no substance

          Ahh yeah I know what you mean, I see AI “content” on social media pretending to be written by a person all the time. It drives me mad, but I didn’t get that vibe from this
