Meet the Manager #1: Nick aka Triggerlips

1,440 Comments

Fantasy Football Scout are pleased to announce the very first episode of Meet the Manager, where we interview Fantasy managers with a superb track record over their career.

Over the season we’ll find out from them what it takes to get a top finish in the game, explore their key strategies for success and also gain some valuable tips on tackling the current campaign.

To kick off the series I was joined earlier today by Nick, who is better known within the Fantasy Football Scout community as Triggerlips.

Over his 11-year career, he has finished in the top 1,000 an impressive four times, including 2012/13’s finish of 35th. Indeed across his last nine campaigns, he has only finished outside the top 50,000 twice.

Paying close attention to team structure and balanced distribution of funds is among the nuggets of advice that New Zealand-based Nick serves up.

He also reveals the importance of accumulating wealth early on and making sure the vast array of Fantasy advice on social media is treated with caution.

And while he is taking a patient approach with Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this season he is “not liking the look of (Mohamed) Salah one little bit”.

The chat with Nick is available to view on YouTube here and in the embedded video below:

    I'm not WCing, but if I were, i think something lighter at the back is genuinely appealing. E.g

    Patricio
    Alonso Yedlin AWB
    Hazard Dilva Pogba Ramsey
    Aguero Lacazette Giroud

    4.0 | Doherty, Jonny, Hojbjerg

    0.8 ITB

      Would downgrade Giroud to Mitro and double Arsenal isn’t worth it. But have been looking at teams and it does look tempting this week.

      Not a fan of this.

      Ramsey isn't playing well, Pogba turns up when he wants. Triple wolves defence seems a mistake, Yedlin wtf? Giroud not exactly clinical and not convinced by Laca.

      If you're going rogue, get Ozil and Son, Upgrade a defender to TAA, get Vardy in and you need a Bournemouth player, look at their fixtures.

        It's double wolves defence and a wolves keeper 😉

        Yedlin is a decent pick! And helps cover wolves fixtures.

        I expect Pogba and Ramsey to do better than last year. Pogba scored two tonight and is on pens it seems. Ramsey also paying further forward and Arsenal are likely to improve on current form imo.

        Anyway, it's just a concept, but nobody was interested haha. I own TAA already and wouldn't touch Son or Ozil for at least one more week.

        "concern" is a strong word 😉 Had my C on Hazard until tonights CL tie, now it's back on Aguero. No idea how it'll turn out in the end but I do know that Cardiff are dreadful and City/pep will want to strike back after tonights loss.

        But then again so are West Ham and Hazard is being rested.. so, tough choice. but Kun is definitely very much in the mix for me

      Hey everyone.
      Really stuck on what to do, so would appreciate any help!

      A) Mkhi -> Rich and save FT
      B) Mkhi, B.Silva, Arnie -> Hazard, Fraser, Jiminez for a -4

      Team is
      Hennesey, Patricio
      Alonso, Mendy, Robbo, Doherty, AWB
      Salah, Bilva, Mkhi, Walcott, CHO
      Aguero, Zaha, Arnie
      2 FT, 0.6ITB

      I’m a bit worried about losing Arnie. Also if going with B, I would have to play one of Doherty/Jiminez against United.

      Get rid now or wait and see? Lot of money to have tied up if he’s out for 2+ games and Pep’s lack of clarity on it worries me. Seems like it could be one of those injuries that goes on and on.

          If I was on WC I would absolutely lose him. Wait for more info in case there is any, but plan for not having him. That extra money could go a long way and loads of cheap def options coming alive in recent weeks

        I'm holding even if Pep says he won't play.
        Have more important issues and it would mean that AWB plays at home to Newcastle which is more than fine 🙂

        After that I'm most likely only transferring him out if it is confirmed that he'll be out for a longer period of time. Tonight's game (once again) showed how important he is to this city team and I wouldn't want to not have him when he does play.

        I'll risk a few Mendy-free games to gain the rest

        The option that doesn't have Pogba in it will almost always be the best option. You're basically getting him for penalties, otherwise you might as well just play Neves and I don't think Pogba's worth the extra 3 mil.

      For those saying Aguero has an easier fixture than Hazard, do a comparison of Cardiff and West Ham's defensive stats. West Ham are pretty awful themselves and City are more likely to share the points around than Chelsea imo. Add in the fact that Hazard gets an extra point for goal, can potentially get a CS point, tends to dominate the bonus if he returns, and has had a week off. Leaning Haz over Kun atm but it could go either way.

          Of course they're much better than Cardiff but that's because they have much better attacking players. Defensively they're all over the place and that was still the case in their win against Everton.

            They also have much better defensive players who will glue in time. Wouldn't bet agains Hammers at this point, they are getting momentum. It's not an easy fixture for Hazard.

              I don't really see it. The new signings Fredericks, Diop and Balbuena haven't adapted to the Premier League yet, Zabaleta is ancient and Ogbonna is terrible. They may have be better individually but as a defensive unit they've been atrocious. Pellegrini has never been known for prioritising the defensive side of the game.

            West Ham's fixtures have been more difficult than Cardiff's so the defensive stats are skewed

        Agree with you, West Ham's team is incredibly unbalanced and their defense is awful. They also have a large field, which will suit Hazard well.

        I had the captaincy on Hazard until I saw City's game tonight, and for the moment it's on Kun.

        My reasons:
        1. Pep was upset after they "only" won with 3-0 against Fulham and made them have an extra day of training, in order to keep their concentration level high and not slacking off. He wants them to be more efficient.
        2. After tonight's loss they'll surely want to hit back in a big way
        3. Aguero came on and looked immensely better than Jesus (as always) and seems fit
        4. they don't have any games any time soon that he needs to be rested for
        5. Hazard doesn't shoot nearly as much as Kun does, and while it's always a possibility any of these players score a brace or hat trick it's more likely that Kun does so than Hazard.
        6. They're both on penalties, and Kun isn't a stranger to bps either (even though not as certain as Hazard)
        7. It's a derby, anything can happen (well.. not really, but you know.. potentially)

        With all that said, it could very back to back to Hazard before the deadline 🙂

          Case well made for Aguero.

          Chelsea's lineup tomorrow is still a factor for me even though Hazard isn't playing. If enough of the starters play I could be put off.

        Same for me with Mendy/AWB so not concerned at all, se it as a win-win 🙂

        However I can't understand the pedro - > rich at all, and even less for a hit. And even LESS when Rich is playing Arsenal and Pedro is playing West Ham.

        Kovacic is reported to have an (smaller) injury, and Pedro always gets game time. There's a decent chance he'll start the game but even if he doesn't he'll still have a good chance of getting you points.

        Wait until after this GW and see how Richarlison looks, at least..
