The importance of showing patience as an FPL manager

Oh, Fantasy Football, what do you do to us?

There are some weeks when you just have to laugh. I’ve escaped a tricky Gameweek 23 with a decent-ish score (£48m) and a green arrow but others haven’t been so lucky.

I have my own tales of woe, but that’s nothing compared to some of the stories that I’ve seen banded around the community over the last few days.

Having done the Scoutcast for a couple of years now, and being in charge of grabbing the “Roughs with the Smooths”, I’ve seen my fair share of “Roughs”.

But this Gameweek has made me wince.

The people that have traded their faltering Wolves players for soaring Saints, such as Raul Jiménez (£7.5m) for Danny Ings (£6.9m) you have my sympathy.

For anyone that (like me) that left Adama Traore (£5.7m) on the bench, I feel for you.

For anyone that, probably against their better judgement, removed long-standing goalkeepers, such as Paulo Gazziniga (£4.6m) or Nick Pope (£4.6m), and replaced with Double Gameweek ‘star’ Lukasz Fabianski (£4.9m) or budget ‘hero’ Alex McCarthy (£4.4m), you have my condolences.

For anyone that took punts on Richarlison (£8.1m), Ryiad Mahrez (£8.5m) or Djibril Sidibé (£5.4m)… you did not deserve the fate that the cruel, cruel FPL gods had in store for you.

This game can be a nightmare. We talked last year about the impact it can have on mental health, as more and more people’s enjoyment of a weekend is intrinsically linked to their FPL score. But know that you are not alone. Everyone has bad weeks. Everyone suffers when seemingly good decisions go against them. Everyone has weeks that make them want to close FPL forever and get a new hobby. But don’t. Go outside. Take a breath. Consider why you removed Jiménez for Ings (Jiménez’s fixtures do turn really bad! Ings had scored 80 points in the last 12 Gameweeks!).

To me, “Black Box Thinking” has never been about beating yourself up over making these kind of decisions, the ones where hindsight tells us it was a mistake, but general strategy tells us it was the best move.

I’m not that annoyed I benched Traore, or that I sold Pope, because I really did think it was the right thing to do with the tools at my disposal.

However, what I’m learning more and more this season, is that when it comes to 50/50 calls, when you just don’t feel that certain, the best move may be to show patience.

My last 12 Gameweeks have been the best I can remember, with just one red arrow in this period. I was trigger happy in the first 11 weeks, and when faced with a decision (to transfer, or not to transfer) I would do it.

But actually, the players we have in our teams are those that we have backed for whatever reason, and unless there is really clear evidence that they are now no longer the player we originally signed – perhaps ditching them isn’t the best move.

I’ve shown more faith in players that I’ve selected, allowed them to have a few weeks to perform, and been rewarded. 50/50 decisions for me lately have tended to go in my favour, as I have elected to do nothing, rather than make wholesale changes (often involving hits that do not pay off).

The main reason I’m not going for Mohamed Salah (£12.3m) – see my last article for the ins and out of this – is because it would tear my team apart, particularly my midfield which currently consists of Jack Grealish (£6.5m), Sadio Mané (£12.4m), Kevin De Bruyne (£10.7m), Anthony Martial (£7.9m) and/or Traore.

These players have been fundamental to my rise up the rankings, and the thought of binning these players off to chase a haul from one player fills me with dread.

The fact that I’m not that confident that Salah really will outscore these midfielders by such a considerable margin tells me that I shouldn’t be following the crowd.

Instead, it looks like I will be turning my attentions to a certain Robert Firmino (£9.4m) – who had a goal very cruelly ruled out against Manchester United on Sunday.

I said I wanted to see something to tempt me towards the Brazilian, and he’s been good the last few weeks, with a goal against Spurs and an unfortunate VAR call last week.

Firmino’s away form has been quite appealing as well heading into two matches outside of Anfield. In the last four away matches, for example, he has four goals compared to Salah’s one and Mane’s two – and 16 goal attempts compared to 14 for both the Liverpool midfielders.

For more detailed information on Firmino, read THIS MEMBERS ARTICLE.

Looking further ahead, I’m wondering what other players may come into our considerations. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.7m) is going to be back in a few weeks, after the dust has settled from the Double Gameweek. The golden boot chaser could easily be a major factor for those chasing the pack.

Similarly, a certain Sergio Aguero (£11.9m) has now hit consecutive double-digit hauls but remains a player who is being overlooked in favour of Liverpool’s star assets right now.

More budget-friendly options, such as Leandro Trossard (£5.8m), Lucas Digne (£5.7m) and Ismaïla Sarr (£5.6m) (injury depending) are also looking like options that can help you soar up the table. The key, it seems, is picking them for the right reasons, and sticking with them through uncertain times.

FPL can be the ultimate test of patience. But what I am increasingly learning is the importance of honing your ability to filter out poor Gameweeks, assess what happened and react – or crucially, not react – accordingly.

    Players I want to change after this GW: Ryan, Pereira, Soyuncu, Mepham, Reid, Doucoure, Kevin De Bruyne, Vardy, Ayew, Connolly

    Is that worth WCing?

    Can obviously plan my moves over next few but that sounds boring when I can unleash the beast!

    Second question is how much information will we have about DGW/BGW by GW25?

    1. Party time

        It is

      • Party time
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Why get rid of Vardy or bruyne?

            It’s risky as both could hurt but I’m considering it next week on wc. Leicester clearly off form and tough games/blank coming up. Kdb plays deeper when dilva in team but I’ll prob keep kdb and lose Vardy.

            1. Party time
                4 years, 2 months ago

                Ok, not a bad call tbh

                  Good Luck buddy

                    Cheers, awful season so need to try and get ahead of curve as well

                Dont like their performance/fixtures plus not sure if they are really going to help me improve rank

                1. Party time
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    Yeah not bad imo. Just try to counter any threat from them with the players you bring in.

                      Forgot to mention, I have played mine already. So all I can do now is smile & plan ahead

                  Blank gw will be for league cup final so city and Leicester/villa ones to watch for. Looks like you’re changing your whole squad so def worth a wc. I’m looking at doing similar

                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  That second question is more important imo.
                  WC'ing now could be great, but if you can wait till we know more about GW 31 blanks it'd be great.

                  Horrible time to WC - in the next 11 days we will know:

                  *who has gone where in the transfer window
                  *who will blank GW28 (and we may even know when the rearranged games will be, if they are as proactive as last season)
                  *who will likely to play/blank in GW31

                  I'd try and hold my wad for a couple of weeks if you can.

                    I'm not sure if there is any major move thats going to happen and change the FPL plot.

                    Yeah, I'm keeping my options open, will have 2FTs in next week and the incoming players have tough games, its possible to delay the WC.

                    Just not sure if there is enough time left to make a massive impact with WC. Soon everyone will play WC and teams are likely to look similar.

                Playing my triple captain chip this week.

                Who should I put it on?

                A. Mane
                B. TAA

                1. zotter
                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  A

                  1. GoonSquad
                    • 13 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    A is safe and potentially disappointing, B could be epic. If you think Pool have 1 clean sheet, that's same as a Mane goal as TAA BPS king.

                2. Quackadoodz
                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  A, higher ceiling

                  1. Amey
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    Wrong
                    Taa has higher ceiling IMO

                    1. Effe
                      • 13 Years
                      4 years, 2 months ago

                      I agree. I currently have it on TAA.

                What are the chances of the following in your opinion (low, medium or high)

                - Greenwood starting
                - Mahrez starting
                - Sidibe starting
                - Ings benched

                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  90% for Greenwood start.

                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  High
                  High
                  Very high
                  Low

                  1. Quackadoodz
                    • 4 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    I’m actually starting planning to start Greenwood and punting that Ings will be benched. HMMM....

                      • 5 Years

                      Likewise

                      Clear precedent from last set of midweek games.

                        • 4 Years
                        4 years, 2 months ago

                        Yeah but only difference is that the weekends will be an FA cup round, not an EPL game week...

                        So Ings might be rested then. Decisions decisions

                How many are planning on keeping both Mané and Salah after the dgw?

                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  Depends how they score in the DGW.. Maybe alot of rage transfers out lol

                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  Probably for one week

                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  I think I'm going to roll a FT so that I have the option to turn Salah into Robertson after the double

                  1. zotter
                    • 14 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    Yeah something like this

                4. GoonSquad
                  • 13 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  Think that means a big rank drop as they don't seem interested in scoring 4, 5 or 6 a game happy with 2 nil.

                  1. MattysFantasyFooty
                    • 10 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    True however those fixtures after are a pretty inviting case to keep both especially if they both do well in the dgw

                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  Looking at the fixtures, deffo keeping.

                6. pingissimus
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  Had them both for a while and def keeping.

                  The fixtures improve after DGW.

                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  Planning to keep. The fixtures are amazing. The you can only captain one of them argument is nonsense to me. They should both score well so I'm happy to own both and captain one.

                Which is better option to get?

                A) Jimenez & Sais -> Tosun & TAA

                  I am. Brought him in as a punt in final week two years ago and failed, but if he can score against City and take some pressure off Wilf then A that.

                Keep Maddison or switch to Trossard?

                For free. He would be part of my long term plan. And would enable Vardy to Aguero the following week.

                  depends on budget and who you already have. Mane/Salah top of the list to buy, martial/grealish look good picks too

                    I think rashford out will hamper martial. He may even shift out to left flank

                      united tend to be quite fluid in their attack anyway, and rashford was arguably more of the threat from the left flank. Martial had a huge chance vs liverpool that 9/10 times goes in the back of the net

                    Cheers, I’ve already owned him twice but he could be the best bet with Rashford injured

                Would you do Kelly to Williams?

                Rest of defence is TAA, Lundstram, Soyuncu and Sidibe.

                Is Aguero worth the trouble? Is he worth multiple downgrades/hits to get him in? I really want him but his fixtures aren’t super enticing, pep-roulette, and his price make it a tricky call...

                  Yeah - I think the ship has sailed.

                Is Fernandez still the best Newcastle option even though Lascelles is back? Seems more attacking.

                  He has been solid, bit also has Lascelles, schar, Lejeune to compete with. Wouldn’t gamble on his place. Team captain Lascelles will take the one spot, and I believe he’s the best bet.

                Reckon my best bet is to do Alli and Tammy -> Mane and Greenwood?

                Sounds like Lund could get dropped soon and wouldn't be surprised. Much prefer Baldock or Stevens on a wc
