Double or triple-up? How much trust should FPL managers put in one club?

It could be argued that the question of whether it is better to centralise or decentralise control or resources has caused more conflict than any other throughout history as it does, after all, underpin almost all political debate.

At the core of these discussions exists the balancing of some very disparate beliefs, priorities and ideologies such as flexibility versus efficiency and individualism versus collectivism. Since, as we already know, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is a powerful metaphor for life in general (or perhaps vice-versa), it is not, itself, absent of these tensions.

Within an FPL context, the clearest manifestation of this question is whether it is better to focus your squad selection on players from just a few teams or to spread that selection across many teams. This is the question that this article will seek to address.

The Case for Centralisation

Centralisation in an FPL context begins to occur when more than one player is selected from an individual Premier League team. Given that three players per team is the maximum in this respect, the highest level of centralisation would involve 15 players being selected from just 5 teams.

What are the advantages of this method?

First, by limiting your player selection to fewer teams, it reduces the number of teams you have to research. This permits you more time for analysis and, thus, an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of individual teams. Typically in FPL, the more you understand a team, their line-ups, patterns of play, set-piece takers, general strengths and weaknesses, the better-informed your decisions relating to their players can be.

It also means you can assess their fixtures and overall team form more easily. As with engine mechanics, the fewer the moving parts in FPL planning, the greater the overall efficiency.

There is also a ‘multiplier effect’ associated with picking several players from an individual Premier League team. For example, if you owned three Manchester City defenders, one clean sheet could be worth at least 12 points whereas, if your defenders came from three different teams, you would need each of these teams to keep a clean sheet in order to score the same amount, an outcome that is objectively less likely to occur.

Equally, if an individual team is scoring a lot of goals, it may well pay to maximise your coverage of their attacking assets. Not only will this give you access to a potentially strong supply of attacking points, it will increase the likelihood that you own at least one of the players generating them.

A key problem with the centralised strategy, however, is that it reduces flexibility. If, for example, you had three Man City defenders and wanted to bring Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) in, achieving this would involve at least two transfers.

The spend balance throughout your team will also be dictated by the relative pricing of individual teams. Three Man City defenders would involve more money spent in defence than, say, three Burnley defenders. This will have a knock-on effect on spend elsewhere and potentially reduce options for alternatives should you want to swap one out.

The Case for Decentralisation

Decentralisation, in an FPL context, would mean spreading out your player selection across a wider range of Premier League teams, the maximum, of course, being 15.

One key aspect of the decentralised approach is that it is less likely to produce extreme outcomes. Similar to how, in probability equations, the introduction of more variables typically reduces the odds of a particular outcome, utilising players from a wider range of teams is both less likely to produce a huge score and less likely to produce an absolute stinker.

You can observe this effect in practice by checking out the highest points scorer on the Official FPL site at the end of each Gameweek. These teams will almost always lean more towards a centralised rather than decentralised composition, with more players selected from a fewer number of Premier League teams.

Decentralisation reduces the risk of a blow out because it spreads that risk across a wider range of teams. Using again the example of the three Man City defenders from above, one goal conceded would wipe out all three cleans sheets. With defenders from three different teams, three goals would need to be conceded for the same outcome to occur. From a purely quantitative perspective, three events of a particular type will almost always be less likely to occur than just one.

From an attacking perspective, a decentralised FPL squad can tap into attacking returns from a wide number of teams, reducing the impact that opposition or team form might have on your likelihood to score points.

If you only had one attacking player from a team, statistically-speaking your odds of owning the player who scores the points is low compared to if you owned three. You also cannot score multiple points from a single goal (i.e. if you own both the scorer and the assister of a goal), meaning that you will typically need more goals to be scored in general than a more centralised team.

This effect can, of course, be mitigated based on who you select. For example, if you own Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m) or Jack Grealish (£7.8m), there’s a good chance you will profit from a large proportion of Manchester United or Aston Villa goals, given their high levels of scoring involvement.

Finally, while a decentralised FPL squad featuring many individual Premier League teams will usually be more work to manage as it requires analysis of more sources of information (e.g. looking at team news for up to 15 teams instead of as few as 5), you are far more insulated against FPL’s more unexpected ‘black swan’ events. These can include the cancellation of a match or unexpected results (e.g. Liverpool losing successive home games to Burnley and Brighton) or the general dip in form from an individual team.

Conclusion

Ultimately, whether you choose a centralised or decentralised strategy is likely to depend on your approach to playing FPL in general. If you prefer more consistent scores (“dullard”), you are more likely to opt for a decentralised approach where the risk is spread more widely and, thus, somewhat mitigated. If you are willing to put up with the occasional blowout Gameweek in order to achieve some huge scores (“maverick”), you are more likely to lean towards a centralised approach which, due to its narrow focus, will produce more extreme results. Both, of course, still rely on the qualitative element of you picking the right individual players.

I’ve personally typically leaned towards the decentralised approach as my goal is generally to try and accumulate consistent scores over the course of a season (I also think it’s usually more fun to have players spread across different teams – particularly if you’re watching the matches) but I’d suggest that, if you are struggling towards the end of a season, adopting a more centralised strategy might be worthwhile as a final throw of the dice. At that point, extreme results may well be what you need and you don’t really have much to lose by trying it.

One final note; the tendency of a centralised approach to produce extreme results is also very often evident in daily fantasy sport games where the best scores almost always come from those managers who focus their selections on just a few teams and happen to nail it that Gameweek. I’d expect that their average scores are usually lower than a player who might adopt a more decentralised approach but, in that environment where it’s all about individual gameweek scores, that really doesn’t matter.

      NO

  3. Von Lipwig

    Would you bench Kane (MCI a) and play Raph or Bamford instead (ARS a)?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      nope

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years

      Crazy

      1. PocketZola
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Bamford against a struggling arsenal is a good shout tbh

        1. El Presidente
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Arsenal has great defensive numbers of late. And Leno is back as well?

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’d consider Bamford over Kane as crazy as it sounds

    4. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, Bamford

    5. A. PRISE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Never bench Kane man. And Arsenal is good defensively

  4. Manani
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Steer>Pope
    or
    Chiwell > Mee

    my defenders are:
    Coufal Holding Cancelo Diaz Chiwell

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

      wait for more news on pope

  5. Threat Level Midnight

    Bottomed last page

    Alright lets start a thread--who are we genuinely worried about being out?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      dcl will be imo
      dias and pope for one game possibly

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Agree. Think this is the most reasonable. What about Antonio?

    2. Men in green tights
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio and Dias for me but I am only slightly worried about them .Do not have DCL so not concerned about that puts a bit of a dampener on dgw for Everton.

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I am carrying Antonio and DCL myself. Not sure if I should take the hit to get cover for DCL. Maybe Richa or even Ings

        1. Men in green tights
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Got a feeling DCL if he plays it will be only the second game . Who do you have on the bench.
          Antonio as I understand it was rested for fatigue so should be playing.

          1. Threat Level Midnight
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Pope
            Dias/Cancelo/TAA/Cress
            Mane/Bruno/Rash/Gundo/Saka
            Antonio

            Forster/Coufal/Dcl/Brewster

            Just dont want to be caught without a playing striker

            1. Men in green tights
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              What about Pope as well with all the rumours flying about that he is potentially injured.
              Me personally would get rid of DCL and get in Watkins or Bamford but that's me I am playing with Antonio , Bamford and Watkins up front .

  6. Andy_Social

    I always triple up, for better or worse. I think right now you'd be mad not to triple on City. An unmentioned benefit of tripling here is going for 3 cheapies from a modest club, of whom you might bench 2 or even all 3 many weeks. An example would be starting the season with McCarthy, KWP and Ward-Prowse, Martinez @ 4.5 with Targett and Cash, Soucek with a couple of Hammers defenders. The best combo might be 2x4.5 benchy defenders, a back-up 4.5 keeper or a benchy 4.5-5m midfielder.

    1. PocketZola
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have cancelo and gun who should the third be?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Stirling, Dias or Stones generally speaking.

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Each example is it's own. Last season was incredible to triple up on LIV and crazy to do it with AVL or WHU. This season both of them have incredible assets to triple up from. Robbo and/or TAA were essential before, now no one wants them. It's really a funny game this one.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        true that

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have tripled up with City, Villa, Leeds and WHU.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        A quadruple triple!

    4. Bring the Cavalry
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I was thinking the same, had bamford 5.6, Dallas 4.6 and meslier 4.5 for most of the season and they’ve been great

  7. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If Wolves beat Soton tonight does that mean neither Spurs or Soton will double in 26?

    1. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No, Spurs can play Fulham or Villa too

      1. jomikijiq
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        and Soton will play City 26/27 irrespective of that too

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        is it not unlikely though ?

        1. jomikijiq
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          The opposite, they don't have other midweeks left because of Europe

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            ok I see, my bad 🙂

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      i think so

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs will no matter what.

  8. Yankee Toffee
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Jesus will start at least one and super sub the other, do we reckon?

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I sink so

    2. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, think he starts Everton

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers! Why that one and not TOT?

        1. jomikijiq
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Just guessing cause he played 90 yesterday and Sterling/Foden/Mahrez less

          Think this will be the front three vs Spurs unless Foden moves to midfield

          1. Yankee Toffee
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks Jom!

            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Would you pick Jesus or Sterling as your third Man City pick?

    3. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think Sterling will start both and the other 2 attacking slots will be shared between Foden, Mahrez and Jesus

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Surely Sterling won't start both with their ridiculous schedule upcoming...

        1. El Presidente
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          O think he does. He might not play the fully 90 but I think he starts both.

    4. Clay Davis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He'll start against Everton. 7 goals in 6 games against them, loves it!

  9. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Cavani fully rested ahead of West Brom (A) and Newcastle (H). Very tempting punt with his ability and class

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely, but how nailed on is he?

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Has been alternating with starts and the bench for the past 9 GWs and EL is starting soon, so not very. Though I do believe he's Ole's main striker at this point but at his age it seems like Ole is managing him well.

        1. Flair
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Got that wrong, he's started the last 3 in the PL. Optimistic

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Very now.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm jumping if DCL is out long term

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Him or Ingsy for me. Soton win today would clear that dilemma right up

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Southampton aren't scoring enough goals to go there for me. I have Bruno Rashford already so not keen on that move tbh. Hopefully DCL is al right

          1. Flair
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            They aren't but if they get three doubles in a row Ings becomes essential to me.

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              LoL
              I'm sorry I missed that bit of information.
              I thought they need FA cup win tonight (Wolves) whic lh isn't straight forward.
              LOL again. I have McCarthy. Make it happen !
              If that's the case I'll bring in Adams for Bam in 26 maybe if DCL is fit.

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Antonio or DCL > Cavani in my top list of transfers

      Rudiger and James. Hoping for better luck this week.

      Might do DCL to Werner

    How many minutes will shaw play over GW 24 +25? Likely 180?

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hes normally the sub when they adjust so unlikely the full 180. But he will start both in my opinion

    2. FPLShaqiri
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think that's most likely. Possibly subbed off in one game (like the half time substition in the 9-0... grrrr) but almost certain to start both imo.

    3. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      cheers lads

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Telles played well in fa cup.
      He's good enough to rest Shaw if United are in a winning position is what I can say

  13. davies

    DCL >

    A) Cavani (wba)
    B) Richarlison (FUL/MCI)

    This week only..,

    1. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think A. FUL have improved defensively and everton just played 180 minutes. And that city fixture probably won't do much good.

    2. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

  14. royals forever

    Your help is needed please

    My original plan for 24 - 26 without WC was
    GW24 Rashford & Wilson > Gundogan & Kane (2FT)
    GW25 Saka/Soucek > Raphinha
    GW26 -4 hit for 2 DGWers & Kane (TC)

    but now that I have got Wilson, DCL and Dias flagged should I be taking out one of DCL and Dias now or still Rashford

    Rest of Team

    Martinez Johnstone

    Dias Coufal Stones Dallas Mee

    Salah Rashford Saka Fernandes Soucek

    Watkins DCL Wlison

    2.7 ITB 2FTs TC/BB left

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      keep rash, dcl and wilson to whichever striker you want, Ings?

  15. Kitman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is anyone else thinking that Rodri's injury may force Gundogan into a more defensive role?

    If that’s the case is Foden a better pick to bring in?

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It's possible but if you own him you gonna play him anyway right? The question is he captain material?

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Gundogan still the best

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Possibly. But if Fernandinho is also out he’ll be way back.

      1. Kitman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I guess Cancelo could step in

  16. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    No idea what to do? Brought DCL in early, many apologies! 1FT, loads ITB.

    Martinez
    Cancelo Stones Mee
    Salah Bruno Son Grealish Gundogan
    DCL* Antonio*
    Johnstone Bamford Coufal Dallas

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ings?
      Bench DCL, play Couf and see what happens?

    2. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ings a good option for next 5 Gws or so

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Very tempting

        1. Von Lipwig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I'm also looking at Watkins fwiw

  17. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Feel free to tear apart my wildcard team 🙂

    Areola
    Stones Shaw Mee Lowton
    Gundo Sterling(c) Rash Bruno
    Ings Kane
    (Martinez Bamford Raphina Dallas)

    2FTs in GW26 to bring in Son and a doubler for Mee and bench boost...

      • 6 Years

      Already pulled the trigger?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        1. Von Lipwig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

    2. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not yet, but I'm set on it atm

  18. Tosa86
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    my actual team:

    martinez
    cresswell - dias - cancelo
    fernandes - son - sterling - soucek
    kane - bamdford - DCL

    bench: forster - dallas - struijk - smith rowe
    FT:2
    ItB: 1.2

    1) captain? sterling? rotation pep?
    3) any changes?

    in my original team i had: vardy, kdb and wkp replaced by dcl, sterling and dias.

  19. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Waiting for news....but what would you do here with 2fts and 4.3m?

    Saving wildcard. No bb.

    Assuming dcl out and antonio is fit I'm looking at chilwell and dcl to lowton and Bamford

    Pope Martinez
    Cancelo dias chilwell coufal dallas
    Salah Bruno grealish gundog soucek
    Dcl antonio Watkins

    Thanksb

  20. Come on you Kante
    • 5 Years

    She does this weeks sub getting loaded onto transfers ? Any help thx

  21. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who do we reckon for a 1 week striker punt if DCL is confirmed out? 3 names pop into my head, Richarlison, Cavani & Werner. Anyone else to consider?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Timo Werner
      Hmmm
      Not for me.

      Richa
      Cavani
      Laca Saka

    2. Pepeye
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm asking the same question re DCL

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Cavani, Cavani and Cavani

    4. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ings with possibly 3 DGWs incoming?

    5. Jamb0
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      1 week punt has to be Cavani

  22. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you bench boost this in GW25?

    Areola(SHU) Lookman (SHU) Cress(TOT) Mee(WBA).

    Although taking a -8 in 25 for
    Ings Adams Raphinha and Mcarthy

    Thoughts? Want to get the BB outta way for WC in 26.

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure I'd trust 2 Fulham on bb....even v Sheffield

    2. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I don't like it tbh

  23. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start which 3?

    A. Saka
    B. Bamford
    C. Antonio
    D. Soucek
    E. Coufal
    F. DCL

  24. Fernandito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez
    Dias Stones Mee Cresswell
    Salah Bruno Grealish Gundo
    DCL Antonio

    Forster Watkins Maguire Raphinha

    With DCL probably out would u
    A DCL to Richarlison (-4)
    B DCL to Cavani vs Weat Brom (-4)
    C Play one of my subs and go with 5 dgw players

    1. ppv
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      C. You have very strong bench

  25. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    And there was I planning a simple Robbo > Shaw/ Mee and rolling an FT as part of a grand master plan over the next 3 GWs.

    Now I have DCL, Antonio, Dias, Pope all flagged and either doubt to play or at least their potential to score/ do well dented.

    Man plans ..... G-d laughs 😆 😥

    2FT 1.2itb
    Pope*, Martinez
    Dias*, Stones, Coufal, Dallas, Robbo*
    Salah, Bruno, Gundo, Son, Soucek
    DCL*, Antonio*, Bamford

    I guess I'll be jumping on an Ings or Cavani bandwagon along with everyone else!

    1. tyron
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Think antonio pope and dias will be fine actually and was just maybe rest (not risking). could maybe do robbo to mee and dcl to someone IF u must

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers - will make a last minute decision!

  26. poidlolo
    • 11 Years

  27. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    On a WC, which trio do you prefer?
    A) Stones/Shaw/Ings
    B) Cancelo/AWB/Watkins

    1. tyron
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    3. Boly Would
      • 7 Years

  29. Robin Cook
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Do we know when the additional matches for GW 26 will be confirmed?

  30. Podorsky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Do we think that we will get an update on DCL, Pope, Digne, Dias, Antonio tomorrow?

    What is the general perception on here regarding the Everton injuries? Pope it seems will be fine and Dias is back in training apparently. What is teh issue with Antonio?
