How the sunk cost fallacy can influence Fantasy managers’ decisions

In his latest Pro Pundits column, former Fantasy Premier League champion Simon March looks at how future decisions can be influenced by past ‘investments’.


We’re at that stage of the season where the decisions we FPL managers are facing are becoming ever more difficult, so I think it’s a good time to consider a cognitive bias that may well be affecting how we make those decisions; ‘sunk cost fallacy’.

A ‘sunk cost’ is essentially any cost that has already been incurred and cannot be retrieved. For example, the £200 I gave those men in a van outside the student union for some dodgy speakers back when I was 18, that money has gone, I can’t get it back. I really should stop thinking about it… 

The ‘sunk cost fallacy’ describes the way in which our future decisions are influenced by such past ‘investments’. Now, if we were being entirely rational and logical about things, all future expenditures would be based on maximising future gains but, because of the sunk cost fallacy, we often continue with an endeavour or ‘throw good money after bad’ in order to psychologically justify past decisions.

In FPL, sunk cost fallacy manifests itself in a few different ways, perhaps the most literal of which being when we have a lot of money tied up in a player due to them having increased in price during our ownership. We’re often less inclined to sell such players, even when we probably should, because we are overly influenced by what we’ve already invested.

 1

For example, I, like many, bought Leicester’s Jamie Vardy (£10.0m) when he was much cheaper so I have a lot of money tied up in him right now.

Of course, it’s easy to say in hindsight following his one-pointer and potentially significant injury that I should have transferred him out but, even before this Gameweek, there were objective arguments for doing so.

Vardy’s fixtures weren’t brilliant, his form was seemingly even worse and he looked to be dropping in price. Meanwhile, I could have flipped that investment to purchase Liverpool assets who have great fixtures, largely great form, a Double Gameweek and many of whom will increase in price.

On a purely logical, cost/benefit decision basis, such a move made a lot of sense, and I knew this, but I still didn’t do it, in part, because I didn’t want to lose the money I’d gained from Vardy’s previous price increases. Two other cognitive biases; loss aversion and status quo bias may also have been at play here, but those are for a different article.

Another, more abstract, manifestation of sunk cost fallacy comes from our desire to justify past decisions, often to our detriment. For example, in Gameweek 22, I was faced with using or losing one of my two free transfers so, with extreme reluctance, I sold Watford’s Ben Foster (£4.9m) and bought in West Ham’s Lukasz Fabianski (£4.9m).

Of course, Fabianski was infamously injured after 14 minutes, thus scoring one point, while Foster, naturally, scored six. Since Fabianski was my only playing goalkeeper, I was then forced to use yet another transfer to make up for the transfer that, you recall, I didn’t want to make in the first place. Foster was still the goalkeeper that I really wanted but did I buy him back? Oh no. I had to mentally ‘justify’ my previous (wrong) transfer and so I made another (wrong) transfer and bought in Southampton’s Alex McCarthy (£4.4m), who scored one point compared to Foster’s nine (…nine!).

Anyway, thank you for coming to my therapy session… wait, sorry, I was writing an article wasn’t I. The moral of this story is that, were I not influenced by sunk cost fallacy, I might have reversed my goalkeeper decision but, instead, I lost out even more because, instead of focusing my decisions on maximising my future potential gains, I made decisions with the intention of trying to justify my past decisions.

Sure, maybe I’m being a little hard on myself and these decisions may still pay off (McCarthy kept a clean sheet in Gameweek 24) but, you know, I’m trying to make a point here… and that point is; while it’s hard to accept when you’ve been wrong, it’s even harder to later accept being wrong multiple times in an effort to mentally ‘correct’ past wrong decisions which, by virtue of being in the past, physically cannot be corrected.

Sunk cost fallacy is a pretty deep-rooted bias and, as you’ve seen, I still commit it despite being well aware that I’m doing it but, ultimately, FPL only has 38 Gameweeks and every Gameweek counts so we don’t have the luxury of living in the past. Literally, the only thing that matters in this game are the points you score going forward so we’d do well to ensure that we make our decisions on that basis, no matter how loudly our past decisions might continue to echo in our ears.

    Since another captain fail, this time TC Mane, I wildcarded, will set a (C) and logout until the of this worst season ever. Suggestions for a "until the end" team? Currently is like this:

    McCarthy Guaita
    TAA Lund Baldock Fernandez Kelly
    Mane Martial KDB Perez CHO
    Auba Jimenez Ings

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

      Personally I'd have Kun + DCL over Auba + Jimmy.

      But saying that I regret having lost Jim a while back

    I am still not over selling Pope before GW23. Is there some kind of support group I can join?

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Due to lack of space, we're putting Mane TCers and Pope sellers together, come on in, there's boiling hot tea you can throw in your own face, trust me it helps.

        Can people who sold Jimenez before his 21pts hauls attend as well?

        1. YuvalFPL
          • 13 Years

          I benched TAA for the Leicester game, mind if I join?

            • 4 Years

            Mate, mine's worse. I sold TAA to make way for Son over Christmas. Son got red carded, TAA got a monster haul. I have literally had TAA for the entire season, apart for those couple of gameweeks when he hauled like crazy..... 🙁

        2. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years

          Oh great, just realised I'm there for that too, I'll put the kettle on.

          This is the mistake i didnt do because i truly think that he is a far better player than ings. Didnt want to fall in that trap.

      Had a good chuckle reading this

    3. Rohirrims
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Sold Pope last week for Ryan and benched Grealish and Hayden to play the Lord, compounded it this week by selling Jimenez and Traore for a hit to bring in Greenwood and Lucas Moura.

      1. NWA
        • 6 Years

        you need to use your WC asap

      Give the ex-Gazza owners a ring - that cost me 19 points over the last 2 weeks

    Thoughts on this WC draft?
    3.5 itb (would leave for emergencies)

    McCarthy Button
    Trent Robertson Lundstram Cahill Lascelles
    Salah KdB Grealish A.Traore Fleck
    Aubameyang Ings Jimenez

    Moves are:
    Aurier > Robertson
    Soyuncu > Cahill
    Rico > Lascelles
    Martial > Traore
    Mane > Fleck
    Greenwood > Aubameyang
    Vardy > Jimenez

    1. DontPiqueTooSoon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I would personally hold. Mane and Vardy could well be back next GW. A lot might happen by end of transfer window and post-winter break.

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I know. But need to make a plan if they're not back. Ps my defence sucks and my team is very template

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Are you keeping lundstrum? Could get O’Connell instead (4.6), maybe Stephens over Cahill.. Possibly worth using some funds for a 2nd playable keeper.. Looks decent..

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I think so. Could get Baldock though. I bought him at 4.0m

        1. Nedvěd11
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Odd. I believe he started at 4.5...

  4. Lev Yashin
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    "Vardy’s fixtures weren’t brilliant, his form was seemingly even worse".

    Utter rubbish.

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

      No points, no form.

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Re-writing history to fit the narrative of the article.
      I understand the sentiment but it's a poor example when you target the player who was, at the time, the highest scoring player in the game.

      1. Tomerick
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Especially considering it wasn’t that long ago that they were marvelling over his ability to defy the stats and keep scoring.

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He had blanked pretty much never. I guess they count being out injured as poor form.

    4. NWA
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I think maybe its more bout the fact that he had a baby and his head was not in it.

  5. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    If I did Maddison to Fleck or Cantwell AND had to play him each week, I could do Ings to Auba. Worth it?

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      no

    2. Pia06rc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nah, Ings has great fixtures coming up and has been banging them in

    3. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Auba about to leave for Barca so no

      1. D.Glynn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Is he actually going? Wouldn't make sense

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Odds are 7/1 now, so I doubt it will happen.

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

      no, Ings has missed one GW and played a token 20mins. Liverpool is tricky but he will be back to scoring again soon as great run of fixtures post pool.

    5. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers boys

    6. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Best to wait just in case of last minute move to Barcelona happens- however unlikely it might be

    7. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I very much doubt Barcelona will buy a 30+ year old striker - this is just a wild rumour - plus Arsenal wouldn’t sell

  6. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy+Sidibe to Aguero+O'Connell?

  7. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any reason not to use 2ft on Vardy&Maddi to Aguero&Traore? or Son&Jimenez?

  8. Bobby_Baggio
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    If mane is out for a couple of weeks who would be his replacement? Asking for my draft league.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      In draft you keep and bench him naturally.

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        No I don't have him but want to buy his replacement hopefully

    2. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Lol I'll need to reword this a bit better

  9. D.Glynn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Would you play a mini WC with a -4 to do,
    Vardy Mane and Deulofeu
    To
    Aubu Son and Jimmy.

    Rest of team is,
    Ryan 4.0
    TAA Lund Soy Kelly Holgate
    Salah KDB Grealish Cantwell Mane**
    Ings Vardy** Deulofeu**

  10. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Think my team for GW25 doesn't look too bad with Mane & Vardy on the bench. Might try and hold the FT.

    McCarthy (Button)
    Lundstrum, TAA, Williams, Kelly (Soy)
    Grealish, Salah, KDB, Cantwell (Mane)
    Ings, Jiminez, (Vardy)

  11. Coys96

    Rodgers press conference at 1

  12. DontPiqueTooSoon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Keep things simple this week?

    Move Cantwell to Traore to cover Mane for a game week or two?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wait and see how long mane is out for

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Agree with this

  13. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Aubameyang and DCL or Lacazette and Jiminez?

    1. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A

  14. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    With injuries starting to bite and rotation likely to kick in soon for the CL, is it now worth using TV accrued to get an 8th decent attacker?

    I realise it will lead to benching headaches, but I'm thinking I'd rather use my spare cash to get Traore as my 5th mid than lose all that value in Vardy & Mane for the sake of a game or 2.

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      What front 8 are you considering?

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Basically the one I have now, but with Traore in for Cantwell.

        Salah Mane KDB Grealish Traore
        Jimmy Ings Vardy

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          That is a very decent front 8. It is a yes from me

    2. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I hate benching headaches - you always pick the wrong one to play that week so I vote no.

    3. Jarnathan
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I did it weeks ago. I think this is a very sensible decision. People who complain about bench points are just weird.

  15. ZakyJ
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Should I Wild Card????

    Hendo (Button)
    TAA Gomez Holgate Kelly* Lund*
    KDB Mane* Martial Traore Cantwell
    Vardy* Abraham* DCL

    I have already used my FT for Hendo (had Gazza) so any transfers are -4.
    I know I should wait till after FA Cup might get a low down on the injures but there will be alot of price changes that will affect my team and future team by then. Probably 0.6m difference.

    I have the exact amount of money for this:

    Hendo Button
    TAA Gomez Stephens Holgate Williams
    KDB Salah Martial Cantrell Hayden
    Aguero Auba DCL

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wait on injury news

      1. ZakyJ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Even if it will cost my team 0.7m? I deffo won't be able to get Aguero and Auba in if I do

        1. HashAttack
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          no need to wait on injury news if you are using a WC ... just swap out any players that get injured

  16. General_Zod
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    General question.

    If you were stuck in a rut, had a terrible OR and had your wildcard available, why WOULDN'T you use it?

    It seems like overthinking if you're not gonna. You'll need one of two differentials and ideally try to position yourself for a future template.
    Just seen a few guys on twitter getting worked up about it, wanting to keep it ahead of DGW BB and wondered what peoples thoughts were on here?

    1. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It’s a great advantage if you don’t use it to maximise points potential in the 2 DGWs. Also we don’t know yet who will blank which is valuable info to have when WCing.

      In addition I think it’s important to look at the circumstances which makes you want to WC. I really think it’s too early to sell Vardy, Mane etc without any more news on them and likes of Martial, Maupay, etc deserve more patience.

    2. Nailed Jesus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Just don't fancy the WC template with Kun & Auba likely to miss GW28, and Vardy & Mane likely to be back for GW26.

  17. Chucky

    Auba (C) next GW.. Who's with me? 😀

    1. Coys96

    Odion Ighalo and Islam Slimani main targets for united in the transfer window, United don't want Cavani as they need a player with Premier League experience. Likely it will go down to the last day, which one will they get?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lol, you mean who would go there? Slimani hasn’t got much more Prem experience than Cavani

      1. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I thought Spurs were sniffing around Slimani

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years

      That's ridiculous. Cavani is a top player and I thought ManU were suppose to be looking for top players. The problem here is not even the money, the problem here is that ManU is no longer a top club and no longer attracts top players. End of.

      Should take a punt on Lacazette instead

      Would have thought a proven striker as opposed to a PL failure (with experience) is what they need

    If both Vardy and Mane are still out next weekend, would you do

    A) Mane to KDB
    B) Vardy to Jimenez

    1. Coys96

      b

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A. KDB is more essential than Jimenez.

    I see Nick Tanner took a -8 to sell Pereira and TAA for two defenders who got no points between them. Also got Salah but Captained Mane.

      1. Wild Rover

        4 years, 2 months ago

        Ex pro footballer with no history who played all his chips early, got to number1 in the world and started to tell everyone else how to play the game.

        He famously, er, steals people who make leather. Yes, I know I'm leaving I'm leaving.

    3. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He’s been lucky to get there. The fact that he had already used all of his chips in the first few weeks show that he isn’t anyone to take seriously within the context of fpl.

    I want to get a Newcastle defender; which one? I like Fernandez for his goal threat but Lascelles is slightly cheaper.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Fernandéz for attacking potential

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I think they have similar attacking potential if you look at the last few years and not just this season. Defenders attacking return are quite erratic so imo Fernandez stats might be a misleading if you look at this season alone.

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

        Well, Newcastle are just one of those teams where literally anyone can score. I'll give it a couple more games to see who's more nailed.

    "... because I didn’t want to lose the money I’d gained from Vardy’s previous price increases..."

    There's no such thing as "sunk costs", you cannot lose money from selling players

    You get the profit when you sell a player, the difference between the SV and the player's current value is a non-transferable discount that you have on that player. Sell the player and you give up that discount

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

      Sometimes I feel that team value is overrated.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        And same players who are saying points over pounds, are the ones who can't ditch Vardy because they have so much money tied.

      2. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I'd say SV is underrated as that's that actual money to have to play with - TV is irrelevant
        Having a gap of 500K between the SV and price of a player is a reason to sell the player ... not cling on to him

        My TV has been dropping since gw21 when I reached 109.0 - it's gone 108.8, 108.6, 108.3 and today it is 108.1
        My SV has been unaffected by those sales (some protected my SV) - now at 106.1

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

          I'm only at 104 and still doing relatively well. Was a bit late on Lundstram, Vardy (now sold), KDB, Mane, and Ings.

  26. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Striker signing because of Vardy injury?

    "We’ll monitor it. It looks like it’s one that he won’t be out for a long period, so we won’t have that need. If it was anything longer. But currently, no. He’s not available for the weekend. There will be a question mark for Tuesday. It’s not his hamstring. We’re hopeful for Tuesday."

    1. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Should be fine for Chelsea then.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks like he will miss at least Chelsea

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        No it doesn't imo

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      So he misses weekend FA Cup 25th jan

      On bench or possibly starts Tuesday league Cup 28th jan

      On bench or possibly starts Chelsea 1st Feb GW25

      Definitely back for Wolves 14th Feb GW26

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Correct.

        Probably on bench Chelsea 1st Feb GW25 as precaution imho

    4. El Presidente

      Is fine...

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      doubt for midweek but will play I think. Clearly not serious

    6. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I doubt they want to risk him. From what I learned, that kind of injury needs healing time (treatment is rest) and may get worse if the muscle is used too early. It may also affect his form and he also probably should be eased in imo. So I just ditched.

    Pep on penalty takers, says he has decided who will take penalties but won't tell what he has decided. Asked about Ederson taking penalties.

    "I have not had a chat with him, if he has to take a penalty he is ready. No problems"

      Just give the damn ball to Kev!!!! Fed up of it tbh.

      When Kun or Gundogan isn't on the bench it has to be Kev. In fact Kun shouldn't even be taking pens either scrap that!

      Kev!!!
