How to stop the Mane ‘bad beat’ affecting your FPL season

Fantasy Premier League and the game of Texas Hold’ Em Poker have a lot of similarities.

You’re playing a game of cards throughout the night and there sometimes comes a hand where you have played everything correctly and, statistically, the odds are in your favour.

But then the least probable outcome happens. Your Sadio Mané (£12.5m) Triple Captain goes off injured early. That’s just how the dice rolls sometimes.

In Poker, we call it a ‘bad beat’. Over the course of the night, you have about 150-200 hands to play and there will be times when you do face a bad beat; a statistically unfavourable outcome (more than once in a lot of cases).

What separates the skilled players from the normal players in Poker though are the ones that temperamentally do not get affected by the statistically improbable ‘bad beat’ and continue hammering on with their strategy and trust. Despite a few setbacks along the way, they should end the night with a positive outcome with or without minor adjustments.

Keeping your temperament in control is incredibly important. It’s very easy to go ‘on tilt’ and make a series of low probability, irrational decisions after facing a bad beat.

I was talking to Trigg from the FFS boards while writing this in the morning and he had an important point to make here. As humans, we have a tendency to want instant gratification. We want our money (FPL points) back right away and that sometimes leads to poor decision making.

Clear your head and think again.

Mane, Abraham and Vardy injury updates ahead of FA Cup fourth round weekend

My good friend from the FFS boards, Prophet was telling me about a Serbian saying that when roughly translated in English goes like this – “Mom didn’t blame you for gambling but for trying to dig yourself out of the hole”.

The digging yourself out here means first putting in 100 Euros, then 500 and eventually your house. Tilts are dangerous and we should avoid them. The good Poker players are always looking to hunt and find which of their competitors are going ‘on tilt’ so that they can exploit them for some serious money.

Sometimes, you’re not really lucky throughout the night (or your FPL season) and other nights (seasons) you will be more fortunate than normal. Don’t pay attention to the improbable outcomes. We might not even know about it but we’ve probably made a few ‘statistically stupid’ decisions ourselves that have worked out for the best but it is human tendency to remember only the ones that don’t land on your side of the court.

FPL in some ways is similar. You’re making a skilled decision for an unknown outcome. Arguably, you have more control in Poker but there are similarities. There are factors you control and others you don’t. I wrote an article earlier this season that we are making about 140-150 FPL decisions a season:

  • Initial Team + 2 Wildcards + 1 Free Hit = 4 x 15 = 60
  • 38 Captains = 38
  • 3 Chips = 3
  • 35-55 Transfers throughout the season

Naturally, the FPL chips and your captaincies are your relatively high impact decisions. There is more at stake than normal. But they are still not going to decide your ‘entire’ season. All that has happened with some of the high impact decisions not coming your way is that you have received a ‘bad beat’ in a pot in which you have invested a lot of money. It happens. We’ve seen it over the years and if you want to develop as an FPL/ Poker player, don’t let this affect you, laugh it off, clear your head and continue doing what you are doing.

I’ve faced both sides of the coin very recently. The Jamie Vardy (£9.9m) to Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) captain move which worked out spectacularly (I’ve since sold the Manchester City forward and I’m plotting to get him back). But then, of course, I Triple Captained Mané and that turned out to be quite spectacular in its own right. Just goes to see that no one can really see the future and we’re all playing a game where we’re trying to put ourselves in an advantageous position week on week is all. 

Aguero asking the question of non-owners as De Bruyne ticks over

You have to think of your current position as the starting line. AK, another good friend of mine from the FFS boards says that in Poker, whatever be the case, you have to focus on salvaging your ‘current position’. There is a lot of the game left to be played.  Most of us still have about 50 to 60 decisions remaining in the season. That is about 40% of your decision-making pool. There is a lot you can do to affect that.

  • If you’re ranked at around the 1 million mark right now, 500k is just 37 points ahead. That’s one good differential captaincy in my eyes.
  • If you’re ranked at around 500k right now, 100k is just 59 points ahead right now.
  • If you’re ranked at 100k right now, 10k is only 55 points ahead.

If you look at the game this way, you realize that you can still have the rub of the green, have some decisions working in your way and who knows where you will land at the end of the season.

I’d recommend not looking back at what has already happened; instead, plot further ahead (or just take a break and enjoy the FA Cup football over the weekend) and salvage your current position.

The game is more fun that way. Make yourselves immune to the ‘bad beats’. If you’re far away from your actual goal, experiment with some new strategies for the next season. Re-condition your mind to the changing nature of FPL, or check if your current strategy will take you through this night (season) of FPL Poker and go past the bad beats.

Don’t forget it’s a game that we’re playing for fun based around a sport we watch for enjoyment (supposedly!). Don’t make it anything else. I’m currently sitting at an overall rank of 528 and I definitely intend on having fun with the privileged position I am in. Let’s see where it takes me.

Here’s to no more bad beats.

    Hull 1-2 Chelsea FT

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      terrible display by Chelsea too, especially in the defense and so wasteful on the attack.

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

    Which would you pick out of these combos?

    Aubameyang and Fleck
    DCL and Son

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A&F.

    2. Karhumies
      • 11 Years

      Just getting A & F in with double FT myself

  3. el polako
    • 6 Years

    Ings was very wastefull.
    Looks like my Jimenez to Ings move 2 weeks ago was just another "great" decision I made 🙁

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

      You ain't exactly having a bad season are you

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Not great either with Mane TC fail and poor recent transfers - Richarlison & Ings.

          Read the article you are posting on. Your season isnt defined by three decisions

      Same here. Looking for my 6th straight red arrow.

    Robbo or Firmino for 3rd Pool spot ?

    Not sure who will benefit more from Mane injury,maybe Firmino more attacking?

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

      Robbo

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Defence is looking better. Robbo has defending and attacking points to get, so him.

    3. I Member

      Robbo

    Sorry re-post, bottomed....
    Evening all!! Anyone care to run their eyes Over my team and give advice as to where to improve moving forward greatly appreciated!! Did Söyüncü to Lascelles with my free this week!!
    Henderson
    TAA Lascelles Baldock
    Salah Mané KDB Martial
    Vardy Ings Deeney
    Subs- Fabianski Hayden Lundstram Stephens

    1. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Downgrading Fabianski when Henderson has a bad GW match-up could free up funds elsewhere. Pope or McCarthy maybe?

      Upgrading Hayden to Fleck/Mooy/Cantwell based on match-up rotation schedule with your XI could also pay off.

  8. Esalman
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Start Lunds (CRY away) or Holgate (WAT away)?

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

      Lund

    2. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lundstram

  9. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Not sure what to do:

    Ryan
    Lundstram TAA VVD Robertson
    Grealish KDB Maddison Martial
    Vardy Jiminez

    Button Tosun Traore Dunk

    1FT 2.4m itb

    A - Vardy -> Aubameyang

    B - Martial + Tosun -> Aubameyang+ Fleck (-4)

    C - Ryan -> Henderson

    D - Something else

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

      save if vardy fit; monitor martial and then maybe martial out in 2FTs?

  10. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any blanks confirmed?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

      anyone?

        1. FPL Daniel

    where to go from here?

    1FT, 1.1itb

    Guaita
    TAA Sidibe Lund
    Salah KDB Martial Grealish
    Vardy Firmino Haller

    save this week?

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      probably save I was looking at Vardy + Martial -> Fleck + Auba (-4)

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

        im monitoring pepe...need differentials

        1. Bruno Bruno!!
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          same here thats why I have triple pool defence

    2. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      What is your bench? If OK, then save. You never know when someone gets injured in pre-game training or something.

  12. Legohair
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Would you WC with this team?

    McCarthy-Button
    TAA-Soy-Aurier-Lundy-Chambers
    Salah-Mane-Maddy-Traore-Cantwell
    Vardy-Tammy-Jimmy

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

      yes

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      no. just a 4 pt hit

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

        Tammy&Mane to Auba&someone?(who)

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No

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

      Yep

    5. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No. Chambers and Aurier the only fires in that team. Button could be upgraded when McCarthy has a bad GW match-up. Vardy and Mane will eventually recover.

      Options:
      Chambers-> Holgate
      Aurier -> Baldock
      Button -> Pope

  13. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero / Vardy / Auba - if that front line fails me then this season can do one lol

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

      So no KDB?

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Might end up with one striker...

      Odd...

  14. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Henderson
    TAA Lundstram Dunk
    Mane Salah KDB Grealish
    Vardy DCL Greenwood

    McGovern Rico Soyuncu Dendoncker

    1 FT, 2.5 ITB

    1. Mane (if injured) >> Mahrez (or suggestion)
    2. Soyuncu Mane >> Robertson Mahrez (or ?!) [-4]
    3. Greenwood >> Martinelli (play Rico for this week and hold Mane)

    Thanks all

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      1 would give you the same mid field as mine.

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

        Do you think he starts many...? I suppose the 2 cup games will give more clues...

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah it is a risk but he is the 5th highest scoring mid in the game.

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

      Difficult one. Not sure on Mahrez...

      Mane & Greenwood to Adama & Auba looks good to me

    3. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Greenwood, Rico, Dendoncker are the three players I'd like to switch in that team.

      Greenwood -> Deeney, Maupay, Ings. Probably Deeney
      Rico -> Holgate
      Dendoncker -> Fleck

  15. andres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Hedno
    Sidibe TAA Soy
    Kdb Mane* Salah Traore
    DCL Vardy* Ings

    Lund, Cantwell, Kelly 1.7, 2FT

    Best Mane and Vardy replacements?

    Aguero/Auba/jimi but who in midfield?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Jim and Mahrez?

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

        Mahrez a bit of a question mark... is explosive though

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yes and is the 5th highest scoring mid in the game currently.

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Jimenez and Son, then a hit to do Soyuncu to Robbo

  16. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any thoughts on C.Wilson as a one week punt before I move to Ings.?

    1. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't toich Bournemouth, and I don't like intentional 1 week punts because surprise injuries elsewhere could turn those into permanent choices.

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

    Greenwood & Mane to Aubameyang & A.Traore (-4)

    Leaves me with only 2 pool though and a defence of

    Trent Rico Soyuncu Aurier Lundstram

    Or WC? I think it's time

    1. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Rico & Aurier should go, and Greenwood should get an upgrade. Triple Pool seems more sensible than double Pool.

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

    With defence needing improved, Mané probably out a couple of weeks, Haller a failed punt, only 1 free transfer and .3 m would you WC this squad?

    Ryan Button
    TAA Söyüncü Lundstram Kelly Rico
    Salah Mané KDB Grealish Cantwell
    Vardy DCL Haller

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

      Yeah

    2. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yes. Kelly and Rico out, e.g. Holgate and Robbo in. Button to McCarthy for bench boost purposes and injury safety. Mane downgrade (Martial, Maddison, Son?), Vardy upgrade (Aubameyang, Aguero?). Consider Cantwell to Fleck, Mooy or Traore based on rotation.

  19. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is Rico >> Robertson [-4] worth it?

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

      yeah

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nope

  20. rozzo

    Hows this wildcard looking?

    Henderson Mccarthy
    TAA VVDA Baldock Lund Williams
    Salah KDB Grealish Perez Hayden
    Aguero Jimenez Ings

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years

      Very good , I'm undecided on mine, Aubameyang and Fleck or Son and DCL, basically for your Aubameyang and Hayden spots

    2. Whazza

    My Pope and Jimenez to McCarthy and Ings moves 2 gw’s ago has cost me 32 points, anyone done any moves worse than these?

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

      Nope, but I feel sorry for you, somehow it is comforting me, I am sorry for that too.

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Sold those two for Henderson & Ings has cost me about 20ish points.

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Why did you make those moves? Serious question. Because I think it would be a good lesson for all FPL managers to write down their transfers, record why they are making the move, see the result, then analyse why it went well or badly.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Made them moves because Pope kept blanking and had difficult fixtures and sold Jimenez because I wanted Ings. I agree with what your saying though, might try and do this in future

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

        What sort of analysis would you reach exactly on ones that go good or bad? Maybe lucky and unlucky might be the conclusion? Let’s look at pope to McCarthy, what conclusion can you reach on that move....made sense at the time given fixtures/stats/form

        1. Harper (No more Penandes)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          The Result was unlucky but the conclusion is that you shouldn't spend a transfer on Goalkeepers

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            I agree with you on that and I’ve said it many time on here. But, I think the transfer made sense at the time and if I’d had a ft I’d probably have done it. Seeing folk get Guaita around gw14 was also on my mind as made me see there can be a big point swing(either way!) Basically a lot of luck involved in goalkeeper scores is what I’m saying and not sure how you analyse that!!

    4. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Worse. Pope and jimi to Ryan and Ings 🙁

    5. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      That’s really unlucky. I did the Jimenez move and would’ve done pope move if I had another FT

    6. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      How about selling Kane at the detriment of 48 points 😛
      although that was 3 seasons ago

      Did the same

  23. Slitherene

    Ryan Button
    Holgate Robertson Egan
    Mane Salah KdB Grealish
    Ings Aubameyang DCL
    Kabasele Doncker Fodder

    0 FT, 0.0 ITB

    Should I be considering getting Mane out?

      I would wait for more injury news.

    2. OleGGMU
      • 5 Years

      When Klopp is in front of a camera answering the question on Mane's injury, then make a decision, until then it is all pure speculation

        salah is rising tonight though

    WC this?

    McCarthy** Button
    Trent Aurier* Soyuncu* Rico* Lund*
    Salah Mane* Martial* Grealish De Bruyne
    Vardy Ings** Greenwood

    ** by southampton assets as have to play L'pool atm. Surely theres a lot of points to be gained by keeping on WC but benching GW25.

    This would be WC team:

    Henderson McCarthy
    Trent Robertson Fernandez Cahill Baldock
    KDB Salah Traore Grealish Perez
    Aubameyang Jimenez Ings

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

      Very nice wc team

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Benching headaches but really nice

    Why is Aubameyang suddenly so popular? Fixtures?
    He has been doing fine over the season, but don't recall him being this popular after a red card too..

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

      Everybody is panicking because Vardy is flagged, Abraham, Rash is out, alternative is Ings, Jimi. And the fixtures are good.

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      fixture swing combined with a nice rest id say are the main factors... hes pretty prolific too

      Injuries to other players

    4. Harper (No more Penandes)

      Everyone is looking for a big differential and there is a lot of money going around with Vardy, Rash injuries
      And he plays Burnley

    5. Karhumies

      Kane was favored heavily earlier this season over Aubameyang. People have finally given up on Kane.

    First hit of the season...

    Mane and Abraham to Traoré and auba ?

    Thanks

      Nailed and consistent

    2. Sid1891

      I would give this a go

    Chances of Aguero being rested against West Ham? Yes he had back to back hatties but Pep has screwed us so many times. Am leaning towards Auba which would allow me to do Mane > Son rather than Alli

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      theres always a chance of an Aguero benching... its the biggest issue with owning him... If you have him have a good bench... the rewards can be great though

  28. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years

    Best move here? 1FT 0.0m itb

    Henderson
    TAA,Digne,Lascelles
    Salah,Mane,KDB,Son, Grealish
    DCL,Deeney

    McCarthy,Greenwood,Williams,Lundstrum

    1. Karhumies
      • 11 Years

      Save. Next week downgrade something to upgrade Greenwood

  29. BOATIES FC

    Would you do Lundstrum and Mane to Robbo and Son for free?
    Exact money so I would have to be fairly quick.

    Cheers,

      Have I missed some Mané news? Certainly wouldn’t do those moves

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

        I did mane×Vardy > Salah×Aub for free.

    2. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Any of those rising or dropping?

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

        Not tonight, but will do before too long i imagine?

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      Seems a great deal.

    4. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      no concrete news on Mane so id say no

    5. Countess Weffie von Wobbego…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I would

      Mane I understand, but the Lord?

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

        Could be Soy instead of Lund

    I actually don't mind the idea of TC in GW38 for those that still have it
    Man City play Norwich at home which is arguably the best attacking fixture in the entire season on paper
    I played TC on Salah a couple of seasons ago against Brighton in GW38 and he got 11 x 3 = 33 points which is not bad!

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Used it in GW 1 Salah v Norwich.

      If Aguero is in the hunt for the Golden boot I’d say a good call, yes why not.

      1. Harper (No more Penandes)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Nice thinking

        Noticed we both wildcarded this week with almost identical teams, spooky

    2. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      That and GW38 is almost always a goal fest
