How to use the top 10,000 ownership figures to increase your FPL rank

3,051 Comments
Share

Ownership is often discussed within the Fantasy Premier League community.

Is a player so highly owned that it’s a risk to sell? Does a player have low enough ownership to consider them as a true differential? These are just some of the conversations FPL managers will have over 38 Gameweeks.

A lot of the time FPL managers will look for differentials under 10% ownership, or preferably under 5% ownership, but I think a player can have 30-40% ownership and still be considered a differential.

At that level of ownership, every six or seven managers out of 10 don’t own that player – that’s still big in my books, especially if the player mentioned is a reliable heavy hitter. When you factor in captaincy, you could be onto a winner.

In this article, I’m going to look at the top 10,000 ownership levels from Live FPL to see if we can determine who might be some of the best differentials going into the final two Gameweeks of the season.

I’m using top 10,000 ownership is I think that’s a better indicator at this stage of the season of active FPL manager ownership than overall ownership, which may include some teams that are no longer active.

Additionally, it’s where a lot of people are striving to finish by the end of the season.

It’s also worth noting that these ownership levels are taken from Gameweek 36+. Any transfers before Gameweek 37+ won’t be included so it’s possible that ownership levels could be higher or lower, especially if a player has performed well, or poorly in the recent Gameweek, and of course dependent on upcoming fixtures. But either way, it’s still a good indicator.

Lets take a look at some of the most popular teams first.

    Would you sell Pulisic or Foden for 1 GW punt before FH in last GW?

    Already have Sterling and KdB.

    Even if he doesnt start in fa cup i think he will be on the bench vs Watford

    I need some opinions on this. I'm 28 points behind in the cash ML in 2nd and 8 points ahead of 3rd. Cheers

    a. Foden to D Silva - not sure due to standard Pep roulette. Foden probably rested for FA cup and play WAT but poor form.
    b. Taylor or Aurier to Bardsley or Pieters - double up with Pope but don't see a lot of points gained with this transfer
    c. Save ft and have mini WC - feel like this is probably the option to go for but the 28 point gap will remain in GW38

      Sounds like a save for me. There are some difference and captain could be huge if not the same of course. Having 2 ft in the last one could be a digg on it self.
