How Black Box Thinking helps me with FPL strategy

“Success is not just dependent on before-the-event reasoning, it is also about after-the-trigger adaptation.”

Matthew Syed, Black Box Thinking

A few years ago, I read a book by Matthew Syed called Black Box Thinking. In his own words, Syed described the book as being about “the willingness and tenacity to investigate the lessons that often exist when we fail, but which we rarely exploit.”.

Because I am, like many of you reading this, obsessed with Fantasy Football, last year I wondered whether I do enough self-reflection about my decisions and strategies.

I’m delighted to say that, as part of the Pro Pundits initiative, Fantasy Football Scout have given me license to have my own fortnightly article, where I will recap on my successes and failures.

It is my hope that as well as myself – you, the reader, will also learn from my experiences.

After my best ever finish in the 2016/17 season (817th place), the 2017/18 campaign was tainted by a frankly dreadful first 30 weeks or so. I was ranked around the 400k mark with only a handful of weeks to go, and things were looking grim. But, I managed to pull it around and finished with a respectable finish of around 60k.

I have been stung by Pedro in the past

Some of you may have listened to my Black Box Thinking podcasts last season. I didn’t make as many as I would have liked to – real life got in the way – but I do feel as though my note-taking and pondering over decisions led me to make some better ones towards the end of the season, which ultimately led to a decent finish.

“Hindsight” is a word that I see a lot on the message boards here and on Twitter. It seems to have negative connotations to it. “I wish I had captained x and not y”. To this end, I agree. If you’ve done your research – and you make a sensible choice based on the tried and tested FPL totems of form, fixtures, stats and eye test – then you can’t really beat yourself up if the Gods decide it’s not your time.

But there are certain traps that I fall into time and time again when playing this game, despite it being my 13th season of playing.

Buying players who are rotation risks is one of my signature moves. I’ve been burned by the likes of Pedro (£6.9m), Ilkay Gundogan (£5.2m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m), as I tried to be clever and “cover” certain teams.

Making outlandish captaincy decisions has also been my downfall. During 2017/18 I captained Jesse Lingard (yes, really) when Harry Kane (£10.9m) got a brace. I also stuck the armband on Richarlison (£7.9m) and watched with hands over my eyes as Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) was thwarted by the opposition goalkeeper time and time again (I got off lightly that time). During 2016/17 I remember captaining a fresh-off-the-physio-table Sergio Aguero (£12.2m) as he blanked against Arsenal, while the man I sold, Diego Costa, racked up a cricket score against Swansea.

Pascal Groß did big things for me several years ago

These moves are tinged with regret because I know deep down that they were poor decisions. However, when I think about some of my best moments in FPL, they are when I’ve rolled the dice and owned a player who has delivered on the promise that I – and not many others – saw. Pascal Groß (£6.4m) will always be the diamond that I feel I unearthed during my best-ever season. I also have fond memories of when I built a defence entirely around wing-backs. Decisions like this remind me of why I play this game; there’s nothing worse than following the crowd and failing anyway.

So, is it possible to learn from mistakes, to go against your gut because you have learned that that tactic rarely works, but also have fun and back yourself? I think it is. I want to learn to balance my heart, my head, and the devil on my shoulder telling me to do something reckless. I want to start making moves that make sense, that aren’t founded on hopes and dreams. I want to get ahead of the pack playing my own game, but using my experience, successes, and failures to help me make better decisions.

How I am lining up for Gameweek 9 of Fantasy Premier League

And yet, here I am, eight Gameweeks into the new season and I worry that the same mistakes are still in my system. A few weeks ago, I benched Teemu Pukki (£7.1m) while he ran riot against an injury-ravaged Man City defence, so I could play a Sheffield United defender. I’m in danger of trying to be too clever yet again. At the time of writing, I’ve got Riyad Mahrez (£8.7m) in my squad. I also have no Liverpool attackers.

I’ve instead decided to go for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) and Callum Wilson (£7.9m), who up until last week hadn’t recorded a single blank all season. But  I’m not sure I really trust Arsenal, or Bournemouth with their new system. I’m concerned that Pep Guardiola’s rotation will catch me out, despite Mahrez looking a strong option with Bernardo Silva (£7.9m) facing a ban. I’m also fearing my selling of Salah when Liverpool are boasting a 100%-win rate and he is still posting some decent stats.

Will I be sat here, writing the next article ruing my decisions? I guess only time will tell, but the Black Box is on and recording – and I intend to learn from it.

    Nice start, good luck!

  2. Jealous Viper
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Abraham and Tomori in for Barnes and Digne for a hit
    OR
    Vardy and Dunk in for Barnes and TAA for a hit

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A

      By a hundred million miles

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Here is why:

        Abraham is better than Vardy.
        Tomori is better than Dunk.
        TAA is better than Digne

        1. Jealous Viper
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Was seriously considering ditching TAA because of Pools tough run but i just find it so hard to pull the trigger. Barnes has been a disaster for me. I'll wait until pressers and if nothing, I'll go A. Thanks

          1. Limbo
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            TAA could still haul. Man Utd are a shell - and should have their status downgraded to "chasing pack" on the ticker. Spurs at home has goals a plenty, for the reds. That defence, without Lloris and some shaky starts - maybe without Eriksent too. I can see him getting attacking results in both games and a CS in one of them too.

            TAA's a floorfiller here when he gets points. Keep the faith and partay.

            • 8 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Tough run ?
            It's one of the easiest around for the next 3 games.

  3. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Who will score more this GW?

    A) Pukki + Vardy + 4 points
    B) Maddison + Abraham

    Transfers depend on this decision.
    Callum Wilson (c), if it matters.

  4. gooner_112233445566
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    On wildcard... got mount and Abraham already... vote which one

    A) pereira, odoi, Wilson
    B) pereira, Maddison, king
    C) soy, Maddison, Wilson
    D) soy, vardy, king

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Of those, C.

      Personally the only two players I have from that list are Soyuncu and Vardy and I'm not desperate to add to them

    2. MikeBravo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A

  5. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Tierney or Boly? Have decent bench if that matters.

    1. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Saiss, if you have a decent bench.

    2. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Neither. Waste of money when cheaper players are performing perfectly well

    3. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Boly for me. Tierney could be nice but I don't know a lot about him.

  6. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    2FT's/0.0 itb

    Pope
    TAA, Otamendi, Lundstram, Rico, Soyuncu
    Salah, Sterling, KdB, Mount, Hayden
    Barnes, Pukki, Tammy

    Salah and Barnes -> Mane, Jimenez

    Done deal?

    1. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Decent moves.

    2. MikeBravo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Ota to Tomori, upgrade Barnes to whatever you might have left? Or go for Connolly and get some cash for your next move?

  7. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Neither Bournemouth nor Norwich can defend at all. Too bad the game won't be broadcast...

    black box?
    You should be in the dog box for benching Pukki.
    C.R.A.Z.Y.

      That is harsh but very fair

  9. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Start Rico or Creswell?

    1. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Tico

  10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Feck it

    Early transfers FTW - Son & Pukey > Maddy & Vardy

    Pope
    Robbo, TAA, Ota
    Mo, KDB, Maddy, Mount
    Wilson (C), Tammy, Vardy
    (Button, Rícó, Lundy, Cantwell)

    Watch Son & Pukki get 30 points between them now lol

    1. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Why sell son? Think he won’t play?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I think there's a chance he'll be rested
        And there's a chance that if he starts he'll be taken off early
        And also a fair chance that spurs may not click straight back into form and wallop Watford

        And obviously there's also the chance that he gets a brace

        But I've had him since before Newcastle and now is a good a time as any given spurs form, the IB, and Leicester

  11. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Different game entirely but who scores more points between GW 9 and 15?

    A) Hudson Odoi
    B) Maupay

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Think we'll all be aboard the Cho Cho train in no time, so him.

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Doi

    3. MikeBravo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Get them both...

  12. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Nice one, Az. Always enjoy your perspective. Bit confused as you mentioned having Wilson but he's not in the image of your team? Presumably he's instead of Pukki?

    Looking forward to the next one.

    1. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yah he's the move i'll be making unless something unexpected comes up in the press conferences.
      I thought by the time this article came out I'd have made the move, but am putting it off!

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Sensible to hold off on it until there's news. I don't have the same impulse control. And so far lucky with no rise too. Good luck!

      2. MikeBravo
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Wouldn't you rather transfer out Auba for Wilson, keep Pukki, and use the money saved to upgrade Mahrez and Ota?? Eventually...

  13. Lignja
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    A. Wilson, Hudson Odoi -4 ( have Abraham, Mount)
    B. Vardy, Cantwell (have Soyuncu)

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't want to play Cantwell every week, especially with the original starter (hernandez?) on his way back. Think Wilson can match vardy for the next five too.

      1. Lignja
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, im closer to A.

  14. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    How is this wc team? Possibly bb gw10 if McGovern will start.

    Pope
    TAA Soyuncu Boly
    Mount/Maddison CHO Sterling KDB
    Auba Abraham Wilson

    McGovern Rico Lundstram Adama

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Good looking team but I'd hold bench boost for dgws. Boring but effective.

  15. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    What to do here chaps?

    Roberto
    TAA Ota Rico
    Mane Yarmolenko Sterling Mount
    Abraham Auba Pukki

    McGovern Lundstram Cresswell Dendoncker

    1 FT and 0.3 ITB

    A) Pukki ➡ King
    B) Sterling Pukki ➡ KDB Vardy(c) -4
    C) Save FT

        Well done! The article describes nicely what we all feel at times minutes before the deadline and minutes after the gw is over. But making decisions in hopes and dreams have high rewards when they actually work out (once in a while but still)
        Black box is recording but not always can be found.

  20. Pinturicchio10

      Nice team that. I'd like Pereira instead of Otamendi but not sure it's worth a hit. Meh. Good luck this gw.

    • Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Having previously said I would rather be dead in a ditch than change my team, I have now wildcarded and here is my new improved deal.......I mean team:

      Ryan - (McGovern)
      TAA - Pereira - Dunk - (Lundstram - Rico)
      Mané - KDB - Maddison - Mount - (Guendouzi)
      Auba - Tammy (c) - C Wilson

      This is my absolute final deal...(dammit)...team, and I won't be changing it even for Juncker, the sanctimonius git.

      Unless of course there are injuries....

      1. mazkills
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Only thing I would consider is Pope instead of doubling up on Brighton.

        1. Boris Bodega
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Priced out now - stupidly I sold him at first for Schmeichel, then moved some players around and decided to go for Gazzaniga. During this time Pope went up and now I'm 0.1m short. But I am actually happy enough with Ryan for the time being.

          1. mazkills
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            I've got Ryan, happy as well. If you love Dunk keep...but Lowton-Pieters could give you Burnley cover if you want to spread it out

            This post takes me back to 8 weeks of “Mitrovic 1 card away from suspension” as he rattled in the points last year. Eventually it dried up but scaredy-cats missed his points.

                It was more a case of an occasional flirt with points tbh.

          Ricardo could be the one.

            Is double Leicester defence too much tho?

              upgrade Soy to Ricardo

              perhaps. Slam dunk Ricardo if you have no Soy. 4.5-5.0 have great options atm. I would go budget, and potentially look to double up on Liverpool defense when fixtures improve (Allison back).

              I think it's worth a shout and could pay off nicely.

        Dumb to bench otamendi for Mings? Or will the bald fraud bench otamendi anyway? He is absolutely terrible after all...

            4 years, 5 months ago

            Only thing stopping me from benching / selling for hit is his capability of scoring the odd goal.

              That's true, hopefully he bags a goal and city lose 3-1

                  That would be amusing and very welcome.

              Shame - his stats from last season ppg/pm were v good.

            Az, you mention one of the current FPL buzzwords "hindsight" but I'd be interested in your thoughts on how black box thinking intersects with another, "patience".

            Gross turned out to be an excellent season-long pick but I'm sure there were periods where his returns dwindled; yes patience with perma-captains yields high points over the season and just keeping the salahs and sterlings of this world to some extent guarantees points, but there's often more to be gained (as well as lost, of course) trying to hit players at the right time, like you're doing with mahrez and as anyone who's ever had a differential captain come off knows.

            I guess the tl;dr is: whilst companies and athletes (as in the book you mention) have discrete cycles of production and reflection, how can we know when it's best to evaluate assets and strategies? (sorry, I know that's a question that probably takes several articles to cover and is an ongoing process, but as someone slow to adopt pukki and fast to sell him, I'm interested in how to apply this clearly useful thinking to FPL).

              Very intelligent question.
              It's all about selling at the right time. Gross' returns dwindled in the 2nd half of the season. I sold just after Xmas and it was a good move.

              It could be that keeping players like Salah or Sterling over a season pays out, but actually, looking at fixtures in blocks of 4-6 have always been my strategy and I like to try and find ways of exploiting this. It doesn't always work of course.. but then there is lessons to be learned isn't there! 🙂

            Salah, De Bruyne, Mount, ____
            Abraham, Wilson, ____

            A) Sterling & Pukki (Tomori)
            B) Aguero & Maddison (Tomori)
            C) Aubameyang & Maddison (Otamendi)

            Not convinced by Maddison but Vardy's awkward price probably rules him out.

                Not sure how, never seen him play, his stats looked good last season, wonder why he hasn’t exploded yet

              I'm finding his role a little hard to evaluate. Had him to start the season but seemed to be playing much deeper than maddison
