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.

    Black box thinking. I like the concept as a whole - surely there is no better way to improve than to record our own key decisions and reflect back on them later on.

    Looking forward to this series.

      No point in dwelling on the past. Play the game with feeling and passion and dont get bogged won with endless stats, XoX's and pods.

      Thats my 2 cents worth.

      I hope for AZ's sake his season doesn't go the same way as Triggerlips when he was running his site or Jay-botox-face and his tips.

        I'm not one to get bogged down with endless stats and passion and own thoughts and feelings are important - but balancing sensible and maverick decisions is the key to having a good season. It's why Mark is such a good manager.

        There are so many things we can do in FPL that leads to rewards / failures and keeping tabs on them will surely only serve to make us better managers.

        Thats the plan anyway!

      It's always a good idea to look at what went wrong and what went right, to consider whether or not you should have done something different, and to learn from your mistakes.

      Chess players often have a postmortem after a game, to look at alternative possibilities that they might have missed during the game itself and to see whether or not they could have improved on their actual play.

      Ideally, this should reduce the possibility of making similar mistakes again in future games, and it is often possible to learn more from games that you've just lost than from ones you've won.

    Son owners , what are you expecting this weekend ?
    And when are you gonna sell him ?

    1. F0oTBall GuRu

      keep this week sell for KDB next week

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Gonna sell him for KDB

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Still think that's risky.

        1. Miguel Sanchez

    3. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'm undecided on this currently, considering ditching for CHO. Which way you leaning currently ?

      1. Stoic
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Don't know to be honest. But keeping this week. Have no Liv attack , so plan was to do Son to Mane next week but I went Wilson instead of King this week so no firm plan now.

    4. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Keep this GW sell after.

    5. Pinturicchio10
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I've sold him this week. Made a decision that he's not a captain option, even for this fixture, so let him go and spread funds a wee bit.

      • Sailboats
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Probably keep this GW. Selling him after this GW no matter what, to fund auba/mane

      • Me Spurs
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Wasn’t he away with Korea then started and netted a double v palace last month?

      • caldracula
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Selling for a hit and switching to 343

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

        Saw something earlier about him still being in Korea this morning

        Then I took a step back and said, do you know what, I want Vardy and Maddison long term anyways, Pukki and Son can make way - no guarantees Spurs will even beat Watford, let alone hammer them (albeit they should do exactly that on paper)

        So I did the double transfer

      1. F0oTBall GuRu
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Kane

      2. I Member

        Kane

      3. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Wilson

      4. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Harry. I don't like him, nor do I like Spurs. But you just know they will bounce back, and it'll be ugly.

      5. Krafty Werks
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Wilson

      6. caldracula

        4 years, 5 months ago

        Kane
        Mane/Salah
        Wilson
        Tammy

        Quite a few good options.

              I think it'll be as much about the system of making decisions, and taking a long view of patterns in what has and hasn't worked, as what you're suggesting. Think it should be good.

            Thoughts on Kante vs Traore?

            Anyone have a view from an FPL perspective...

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              Traore has more upside but may be benched sometimes. Kante will get 2/3 points every week. Traore for me could be a great pick...

              Simon March definitely uses the site, not sure how much he was posting at the time though. Can see why after a win you wouldn't post too much though.

                  Not week to week I don't think, but scoutcast sometimes invites on high flying managers near the end of the season for a one off. Agree it'd be really interesting to watch

              I think regular posters mostly finish outside top 1000.

              The best players don’t need to post. They just observe and think.

                  Not I used the site from Nov 15 and finished 37k in 2016 coming from 400k .... then followed (again never once posting) in 2016/17 finishing top 1k (802)
                  Didn’t use site a single time or play properly in 2017/18 , made 12 transfers and finished 900k (playing properly last 8 weeks getting from 2.2m into top 1m (Salah’s year)

                  Then posted last year for first time & all season and finished 278k, post too often this year and am at 277k after great gameweek 1.

              Evs was a very regular poster who came very close to winning it - he was still in with a strong chance going into GW38.

              There have also been a few others who came very close, but I can't remember their names offhand. One of them even used to ask for RMTs every week, and was plagued by another poster who didn't like him doing so and regularly told him so.

              But many FPL winners prefer to lie low and not to give away too many of their plans.

            "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."

            ... i think just about everyone here had defences full off wingbacks in 17/18 or whenever it was. not sure about this guy...

                Tomori is a very short sighted one. Shite defence and locks you out of a Abe, Mount, CHO triple. Soy is unreal value man and the Leicester attackers aren’t anywhere near as exciting

                    Fair but you’re not getting a good one in a good defence for 4.5ish. Willems only one available and we can’t say for certain he’s nailed yet either

            Im thinking Sessegnon starts this weekend and with debuts players normally score. So theres my prediction.
            If he replaces Rose and gets most of the minutes, he is a good option classified as a midfielder in fpl for 5.4? If Spurs arent getting CS and he has good assist potential then maybe it actually works out? Good price tbh, one issue tho is he will for sure get rotated.
