What is the best strategy for defending a Fantasy Premier League mini-league lead?

Former FPL winner Simon March provides advice on how to preserve a mini-league lead.


As we enter the final few Gameweeks of the season, much attention is given to how to make up ground on those ahead of us but, for some, the priority will be defending what they already have. If you’re currently lucky enough to be winning your mini-league, your focus may well be on how to stay there, so this article will discuss a few different strategies for defending a lead in FPL.

‘Follow the Follower’

Thoughts on Mourinho's first Spurs match 1

I’ve never been on a yacht, let alone raced one, but I have in my time absorbed a bit of yacht racing strategy and there’s one particular approach which is quite relevant for defending a lead in FPL known as ‘Follow the Follower.’

The basic premise of ‘Follow the Follower’ is that, once in front, the leading yacht in a race replicates the strategy of the yacht behind it, even if that strategy is sub-optimal. The logic is that, by doing whatever the follower does, there’s no strategy that follower can adopt that will allow them to make ground on the leader.

In FPL, this strategy is sometimes referred to as ‘shadowing’ or ‘covering’ and it is essentially the FPL equivalent of ‘parking the bus’. In practice, shadowing involves ensuring that your team resembles your chasing rival’s as much as possible and thus reducing the potential that a differential player or captain might help them to catch you.

You can, of course, extrapolate the principles of shadowing to help defend a general overall league position (e.g. staying in the top 10k) by identifying and owning as many of the highest-owned and most threatening players. Though, it has to be said, it is much more of a mini-league strategy for reasons I’ll go into shortly.

FPL lessons learned as Martial and Rashford outscore Fernandes

Shadowing is somewhat derided on FPL forums given its utilitarian and borderline-unsporting nature. However, when you absolutely positively must win your mini-league, it’s a perfectly viable strategy. By reducing the impact of differentials, shadowing will mitigate the only real weapon a chasing rival has. How easy it is to pull off, however, depends on a few factors.

Firstly, it works best when there are only a short number of Gameweeks left and/or when you have a big lead. Shadowing with, say, 10 Gameweeks left will be difficult to achieve and may well result in you inadvertently ceding your lead due to inefficiencies in the strategy. Unless you can perfectly predict your rival’s team and captain, there will be an element of error and, in all likelihood, your moves will usually be one Gameweek behind theirs. Over time, therefore, your rival may well gain ground on you. The art of shadowing, therefore, is often in the timing.

Another issue with shadowing is that it may well involve selecting players who perform worse than the players you would have chosen otherwise. It’s an entirely ‘safety first’ strategy, it’s definitely not one for maximising scores or overall rank.

Finally, shadowing is almost certainly inadvisable in a mini-league scenario if you have several close rivals as it becomes exponentially more difficult to effectively ‘cover’ your opponents the more of them there are. You might know your opponents well enough to make an educated guess as to who the genuine threats are but, even in these circumstances, you are relying on a lot of luck, which rather defeats the point.

Playing it Safe

The biggest advantage of being in front is that you don’t need to take the risks that the people chasing you do. You can, therefore, afford to ‘play it safe’ and pick the players who objectively offer the highest prospect of returns. That means no crazy differentials, solid, reliable captain choices and as few hits as possible. Naturally FPL is not an exact science, but this method does tend to put the odds in your favour which is really all we can ask for. ‘Playing it safe’ is, in my eyes, the FPL-version of ‘hitting them on the break’.

This was largely my strategy after I reached the number 1 spot in 2015. In order to win, I needed to defend my lead for another 14 Gameweeks against, maybe, up to 100,000 other managers with a feasible chance of catching me. With this in mind, shadowing wasn’t an option but I also didn’t care about breaking any scoring records, just winning was more than enough.

‘Playing it safe’ isn’t as easy as it sounds however. Firstly, it relies on there being ‘objectively best’ options each week and it becomes more difficult the more options there are. It also requires a fair amount of discipline to avoid the temptation to try and win it all in one week with a wild punt. This also means that you will likely miss out on the unexpected hauls and you’ll have to cope mentally with other people getting them.

This discipline becomes ever more difficult when you have to cope with the managers chasing you making all sorts of ever more crazy moves to try and catch you (one guy chasing me actually captained Martin Skrtel in one match and he scored… twice!). You can’t avoid this but, at the same time, you are forcing your opponents into taking greater risks which, probability dictates, should pay off less the bigger they are.

Playing Your Own Game

If you ask anybody how to defend a lead in FPL, the most common answer you’ll get is ‘just keep playing your own game’ or, in other words; don’t do anything different, just do whatever you were doing before. This is the more romantic or ‘purist’ approach to defending a lead, I’d say it’s the FPL equivalent of Tiki-Taka; if the plan works, stick to the plan.

There is of course some logic to this; if you’re good enough to be top of your mini-league towards the end of the season then there’s no reason to think that you’re not good enough to stay there. This strategy maintains consistency in your approach, whatever that might be. If you take hits, continue to take hits. If you like picking differentials, keep picking differentials etc…

The problem with this strategy, however, is that it doesn’t account for the likelihood that those chasing you may well change their strategy as they get closer to the end of the season. When you’ve got nothing to lose your approach to risk-taking changes a great deal and, like I said, this can translate into ever-more dramatic punts. By maintaining the ‘play your own game’ strategy, you may not be utilising the advantage that being in the lead offers you and, meanwhile, those chasing you may well be taking advantage of the fact that they have nothing to lose.

Furthermore, much as it might pain us to admit it, luck can take you a long way in FPL but it almost always runs out eventually. Just because a strategy has been working until now doesn’t necessarily mean that it will continue to do so. So, in our own interests, when leading a league, it’s important to be painfully honest with ourselves about exactly how we got there in the first place and whether that approach is sustainable.

Conclusion

Which strategy you should adopt for defending a lead will depend a great deal on your own specific circumstances.

Obviously I’m a believer in doing what you need to do to get in front and then playing it relatively safe once you’re there because that’s the strategy that has worked for me in the past, but every circumstance is different.

While a few potential scenarios have been discussed here and these are hopefully useful as a guide to the pros and cons of using different strategies in such contexts, every manager will ultimately have to decide what method will work best for their specific situation.

    Pope
    TAA Ritchie Doherty

    Ings Rashford

    Martin Bardsley VVD Connolly

    Gtg?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Martial home record should make him a better captaincy candidate than Bruno

      1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I don’t agree. Bruno is the is capable of huge hauls and they are going to destroy West Ham. Plus, Bruno is on pens, or is at least splitting them with Rash.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Tempted for RAshford captain?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I definitely would as a differential pick in ML

  7. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    play Foden or Greenwood?

    1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mason. He was off the boil today, but he is the future.

  8. gers23
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Rival 40 off me and has triple Sheffield defence. Sensible to do Maguire to one of them this week?

    1. BNMC
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Go for Egan, he seems to be the most attacking of them at the moment.

      1. gers23
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That's the one he doesn't have lol

        1. Jayv807
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I'd go for one he does have if trying to cover

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Egan sneaky good pick. Debating between him and Tarkowski

  9. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Current team:

    Pope - Henderson
    TAA - AWB - Doherty - Stephens - Lascelles
    KDB - Bruno - Dilva - Pulisic - Foden
    Rashford - Ings - Jimenez

    A) Lascelles --> Egan/Tarkwoski, play BB
    B) AWB + Pulisic --> Egan/Tarkowski + Martial (c) -4, play BB in GW38

    1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      The problem you have here is Dilva may not play in 37, but he will play in 38. Anyway to work your 37 team without taking a hit now and play the BB in 38?

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers for the reply! Could definitely hold or do a single transfer for 37, but Martial captain at home seems like a worthy move for a hit

        I'd have to bench one of the attackers as well for 37 if not using BB. Not a huge issue but hard to bench one of dilva or foden or pulisic

    2. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Why no BB for option B?

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Because I have Lascelles, would have to get him out for BB, which would mean -8 in GW37 and not keen

    3. milanista10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I like B! In fact I just got Martial (C) for a hit too..

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers! Just hesitant as the quality of bench fixtures severely decreases

    4. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think I’m about to do similar to B (but Doherty > Tarko). I have exact cash and it feels like a fun punt lol

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Im 70 points away from rival after he got 105 points last week, so in a bit of a whatever mode but secretly hoping to get a huge two GWs with BB and catch up.

        He doesnt have Martial currently so hoping to get a differential captain on him

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yeh it makes sense.

          I’m in a similar position having been at 18k in GW31+ and now at 42k and trailing by quite a way in my cash ML

          I’ve got FH for GW38+ to try and finish with a bang!

  10. A Fat Spanish Waiter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Strange one here. Will FH in 38, and I have 1 FT for 37.

    Pope (button)
    AWB, Digne, Doh (Holgate, 3.9)
    Salah, KDB, Bruno, Martial, Pulisic
    Jesus, Ings, (Nketiah)

    A) Salah -> Sterling
    B) Jesus -> Jimmy
    C) get someone on the bench who will actually play.

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      C

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      How much ITB? Id maybe save and do double transfer for 38

  11. gers23
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Realistically how many points could your BB get you? Rival still has his and is 40 off

    1. He Kane He Saw He Conquered
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Normally around 10-20 points id say

    2. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I always have 20 as my benchmark for a successful bench boost. N.B. This is predicated on it being used in a double gameweek with everyone playing twice - i.e. 4 players each with twice the appearance points (16), plus one of them doing something (goal, clean sheet etc.) pushing it up to 20.

      1. He Kane He Saw He Conquered
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        there isn't a DGW so pointless reply lol.

        1. Greek Freak
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          The criteria for a successful BB are based around a DGW in my opinion.

          1. He Kane He Saw He Conquered
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            But his question doesn't fit your criteria...

            1. Greek Freak
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              I mean, if a good bench boost in a DGW can give you 20 points then imagine how safe 40 points in a SGW is - that's why I answered it like that.

              Of course it's entirely plausible that he can make up the 40 points regardless (not because of the 10-15 probably points of a bench boost) but that's a different matter.

              1. Greek Freak
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                *probable points

    3. Origi-nal
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mine got me 21 this week and I was pretty happy

    4. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      What does his bench look like?

      1. gers23
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Ryan Dunk Jota Lascelles

        1. Origi-nal
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          40 points is pretty safe

        2. He Kane He Saw He Conquered
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          he wont get anywhere near 40 and will hit to improve Lascelles anyways

    5. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I got 4pts for my BB this week

    6. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Im 60 off of my rival with BB left. So aiming for 40 at least 😀

    7. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      40 is too much imo. I remember the worst GW I didn't BB when my bench had 37 points.

    Hello all

    G2G?

    Martinez
    Doherty, TAA, Bardsley
    Salah, KDB, Mahrez, Bruno, Martial
    Jesus, Ings

    Henderson, Greenwood, Egan, Aurier

    Thanks!

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Play Hendo

      But nice team - just those one pointers to fear.

      1. Jayv807
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks mate !

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Personally, I’d start Egan before Bardsley. You could think about Hendo too because he will get the save points, but then again, Villa are awful, so Martinez is a good pick too.

      1. Jayv807
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        May consider Hendo or Egan, not brave enough to double up though. Thanks for the feedback!

  13. Greek Freak
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I never thought I'd say it, but I wish I'd kept Sarr for tomorrow now!

  14. Oooo Matron
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Any thoughts here? One free transfer & 1.4 itb.

    Vardy to Aubameyang or Greenwood to Wood?

    Current team:
    Pope
    Doherty TAA Wan-Bissaka
    Mane Mahrez KDB (C) Fernandes
    Jiminez Vardy Greenwood

    Subs: Foden, Aurier, Lascelles

  15. Origi-nal
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Best mid up to 7.5mil for the run home?

    Have both Willian and Pulisic and looking to move one on. Thinking maybe Dwight McNeil purely for his fixtures.

    1. milanista10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Dilva?

      1. Origi-nal
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I know he's likely to play 38+, chances of playing both?

        1. milanista10
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I think no one knows, but he could go big in GW38+.

          You could go McNeil for 37 (if you feel like it) then switch to Dilva last GW?

  16. Garam MOSALAH
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is Aurier out for GW 37 ?
    Heard he left for France

    1. Origi-nal
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Likely

  17. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I may have to use my last FT of the season to buy a Burnley defender as the guy chasing me has Pope + Bardsley. Why o why is Taylor injured.

  18. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A) VvD + Martial
    B) AWB + Son/Jimenez/Wood

    FH in GW 38
    Which option gives me more points?

  19. He Kane He Saw He Conquered
    • 13 Years

    So im in a cup final and hits don't count but I don't want to overdo it and destroy my league position...

    Pope
    Doherty TAA Taylor *
    Salah Pulisic Martial Fernandes
    Jimmy Greenwood Jesus

    Martinez Foden Ward Lascelles

    pulisic -> Mahrez?

    any defenders I need to replace taylor?

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Egan Tarkowski are both options im looking at

      1. Yoshimiwinz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        this

        1. He Kane He Saw He Conquered
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          thanks. perhaps egan to spread the bet incase of Norwich goal

    Who would you bench
    Pulisic KDB Mahrez Bruno Antonio
    Rashford Jimi Ings

    1. Origi-nal
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd bench Puli

    2. gers23
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pulisic prob

  21. A Fat Spanish Waiter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Tough one. I fancy Chelsea to score v. Pool, so I might opt for B with Jimmy.

      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Reply fail 😛

    Guys how do you think of dcl to laca? Or jimmy better?

    1. BNMC
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      As an Arsenal fan I will tell you that as much as Lacazette has found his confidence again, I wouldn't be surprised if he is benched for both games and Eddie starts instead. Get Jimenez for sure.

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Jimmy better. Nketiah is back, which may limit Laca’s minutes.

  23. BNMC
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Willian to Martial surely the obvious transfer. May as well make it now before any potential price changes?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If you've no West Ham or Watford.

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think that’s a solid move. I’m stuck on Pulisic this week, and I don’t a decent replacement option (already have Tony)

  24. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Giroud Alonso To Wood Tarko -4

    1. Origi-nal
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Just Giroud

  25. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    For gw38 would you prefer Martial or Pulisic?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Martial.

    2. Yoshimiwinz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Martial

    3. Garam MOSALAH
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Martial

    4. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I might get stick for this, but I’d say Puli. Chelsea have the better fixture, I think.

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Wolves defense is immense

    5. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      thanks all.

  26. Garam MOSALAH

    5. GreennRed

      Egan.. But looks like not 100% yet he won't return. Maybe wait until Saturday morning before making transfer?

  27. Aubaaaaa
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Just for GW37, which forward would you choose?
    A. Laca
    B. Ings

    A. Kane
    B. Martial
    C. Fernandes

    1. Aubaaaaa
      • 7 Years

      B

  29. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    why Tarkowski and not any other Burney defender?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      More attacking

    2. gers23
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Good for a goal maybe

    3. Garam MOSALAH
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Same question
      Probably goal threat

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

      scored 1 all season though..

    5. Bleh
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Goal and BPS potential

  30. gers23
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Surly a Sheffield United clean sheet is almost guaranteed next gameweek? Everton seem toothless

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd bet on it for sure, glad i have Hendy for it
