Fantasy managers are masochists – and here’s why that’s a good thing

Former Fantasy Premier League (FPL) champion Simon March argues that feeling a bit of pain may not be a bad thing in our quest for a lofty overall rank.


Few would be surprised were they to discover that Fantasy Premier League is a game that attracts a community more prone than normal to masochism. No many FPL managers would last very long if they didn’t have at least an ambivalent relationship with pain and suffering. However, this tendency is not limited to FPL managers and is, in fact, present in all of us to some extent. It can also play a key role in determining which of us experiences success in life, and which of us don’t.

The significance of this propensity towards inviting pain has been seen to vary from person to person and, in the context of FPL, it may not only help explain some of the differences in playing style and risk preferences from manager to manager but, also, why we sometimes self-sabotage in our FPL decision-making. These are some questions this article will consider.

Hedonic Reversal

‘Hedonic Reversal’ is the state in which we, as humans, derive pleasure in things that cause us pain or discomfort. All of us experience this to an extent, it’s a big part of why we enjoy things like rollercoasters, horror movies or spicy food.

Hedonic reversal manifests itself biologically via the release of endorphins into the bloodstream as a response to us experiencing pain. Endorphins are, among other things, the body’s naturally occurring anaesthetic and they function in a similar fashion to opioids, both in their ability to numb pain and their tendency to create a sense of euphoria in those experiencing their release.

Runners and gym-goers might recognise this effect as the ‘runner’s high’ or a ‘pump’ respectively, and it is essentially the same mechanism. The evolutionary purpose for hedonic reversal is not entirely clear, some believe it occurs as a means of balancing out our response to emotional or physical pain, others believe it exists to reward and incentivise risk-taking, something which has helped us, overall, to advance as a species. The bottom line, however, is that a period of physical or emotional pain is likely to trigger a release of happy hormones to help cheer you up, basically.

Mavericks and Dullards

learning-from-the-great-and-the-good-19-20-the-final 3

FPL managers are known to differ greatly in their approaches to taking risks. We often colloquially refer to risk-takers as ‘Mavericks’ and risk-averse managers as ‘Dullards’. While it is true that risk preferences are the result of many factors, hedonic reversal could be a significant element of the more maverick playing style.

Everybody knows how good a feeling it is to take a risk and for it to pay off. We also know how bad it feels to take a risk and for it to backfire. But those who have experienced such backfires a few times might come to learn that, when things go wrong, it might not feel as bad as you expect. In fact, the worse it gets, the better it is likely to feel on a body chemistry level.

With this in mind, it’s not unreasonable to believe that some managers might come to fear failure less than others do. They might even get to a point, however subconsciously, where they even seek it. Win or lose, they eventually get the same positive feeling physically, so why not take risks? 

This disposition towards seeking pain could explain a lot (Spurs fans, for example) but the key insight from an FPL perspective might be that, if these quasi-masochistic tendencies manifest themselves more significantly in some people than others, they may have also a dramatic effect on the way those individuals play FPL. The natural question, therefore, is whether this is a good or a bad thing.

While it’s true that more risk does not necessarily equal more points in FPL (indeed, it could easily equal the opposite) you cannot get a really, really good rank without taking at least some chances. That could mean anything from some risky transfers to some maverick captaincy decisions. How many risks are sensible to take will always be something context-dependent, but it stands to reason that a manager who is unafraid to take an educated punt possesses a potentially valuable characteristic if they are looking for an elite-level rank or if they dream of winning FPL. As the aphorism goes; you may find plenty of risk-averse millionaires but you will find very few risk-averse billionaires. 

Of course, you will also find plenty of risk-taking people who are flat-broke so moderation is key. Allowing your FPL decisions to be driven by a subconscious desire to feel pain is likely to leave your arrows as red as that room in Fifty Shades of Grey. It’s good to take some risks but they have to be considered ones.

However, if you are a manager who is very risk-averse, perhaps to the point of detriment, experiencing a bit of the pain of failure might actually be good for you. In fact, it may be exactly what you need to remove the fear of taking risks and condition your subconscious to accept them more easily. As many have observed, our best FPL seasons seem to disproportionately follow our worst ones and so perhaps ‘learning to take a fall’ represents a key rite of passage in getting us there.


Why does good FPL form end and what can we do about it?

Elsewhere in Double Gameweek 32

Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) secured a double-digit haul as Leicester saw off West Bromwich Albion by a 3-0 scoreline.

After returning in just one match between Gameweeks 26 and 31, the Foxes’ forward notched a goal and assist against rather pedestrian opposition.

Crystal Palace are Vardy’s next opponents, whose recent defensive form suggest another big haul could await him in Blank Gameweek 33, hence why we have chosen him for the Scout Picks.

Jonny Evans (£5.5m) came away with a double-digit score of his own as he kept a clean sheet and found the net in the first half.

Wesley Fofana (£5.0m) managed to capitalise on the shut-out early as Marc Albrighton (£5.2m) replaced him just after the hour-mark.

Meanwhile, Ricardo Pereira (£5.9m) stayed on the bench as an unused substitute, with suggestions that he will come back into the team against Crystal Palace.

“I’m very conscious that Ricardo is coming back from a long-term injury and I always felt between when he came back and the end of the season we’re just getting him some minutes. I don’t think he’s ready to play three games in a week, especially having played on Sunday.” – Brendan Rodgers

Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.1m) continued his scoring form, adding an eight goal in his last six Premier League matches.

However, his burgeoning ownership might have hoped for more returns as he missed a number of big chances to walk away with a hat-trick.

His persistence in front of goal, combined with a Blank Gameweek 33 meeting with Crystal Palace, has also earned Iheanacho a place in the Scout Picks…

    Will Alonso play vs West Ham if not whom to replace him with? I really cant afford to have only 10 players as my ML is tight at the top. Any thoughts on punting for Andrew Robertson as I dont have funds to do TAA. I want to try something different as my ML rivals all have TAA.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I dont think Robertson is a good alternative to Trent, atleast based on recent games. You can take a punt on Castagne

      1. Arsene_Glenger
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yes Castagne look fantastic against West Brom. There is your differential, plus they are likley to double in GW35 as well

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It’s TAA or nothing

  2. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Mendy
    TAA Shaw Rudiger
    Son* Salah Jota Fernandes Lingard
    Vydra Iheanacho

    Forster Holding Kane Kilma

    0.3 itb, 2FT

    1. Mendy Son >> Schmeichel Greenwood (play Holding over Jota if out)
    2. Other suggestion ?

    Thanks

  3. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Mendy to Meslier or roll the FT?

    Having Forster as backup keeper doesn’t help the situation...

  4. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Any suggestions here?
    Was leaning save but with Jota likely out I may move out Stones now to have 11 players.
    The only replacement I really want is TAA though.

    1. Just save the FT this week. Play with 10 players.
    2. Stones-> TAA + find 2.1mill. (Bruno/Son -> Maddison/Green) -4.
    3. Just Bruno/Son -> Maddison/Greenwood etc.
    4. Something else?

    Martinez.
    Shaw, Rudiger, Burn, Dallas.
    *Jota, Salah, Bruno, Lingard.
    Iheanacho (c), Watkins.
    Steer, Stones, Kane, Son.
    1ft, 0.4m ITB, No more chips - 60k atm- Want 10- 20k but looks impossible.

  5. Ohh1454

    Any word on raph or Jota ?

  6. Pilgrim62
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Bruno and Gundogan
    or
    Son and Greenwood/Maddison

  7. Abaddon

    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Kane, son and stone to Nacho, salah and Taa/castagne for -8

    Crazy

    Bringing Kane back if he is fit for gw 34

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Don't sell Kane in a -8 if you're looking to bring him back next GW again. Who are your other two forwards?

      1. Abaddon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Vardy and Bam. Guess i am just scared of not owning salah.

        1. Philosopher's Stones
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Hmm.. if you'll be uncomfortable not having Salah this week, just go for it I guess.

    2. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Just Son to Salah

      1. Abaddon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        -2,7 mill short on that lol. Kane was the enabler

        1. Pilgrim62
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Would you consider Bruno to Salah?

          1. Abaddon
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Feel I have to sell a player without a game. Have Son, Kane, Dias, Stones, Raph* and Jota*

            Have free hit as well but want to save it for dgw/blank week coming.

            Also chasing, so buying a good differential instead of Salah would also make sense

  8. Taegugk Warrior

    Fofana or cast...?

    Jota not seen at last training session eh, plus 2 City, 3 Spurs, Raphina ... looks like FH it is then 🙂

    1. Abaddon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Almost similar situation but only 2 spurs. Was really hoping to save my FH for a double/blank round upcoming.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        me too, but a completely new team this week is looking a good option compared to scratching around with a few hits, can get a decent bench too as a safety net. Also means not having to worry about Kane, Raphinha or Jota potential injuries for another week

        I will just have to deal with the doubles 🙂

  13. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Vardy (CRP, sou, NEW) might be able to outscore Kane (xxx, SHU, lee), shouldnt he?

  14. Arsene_Glenger
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Guys please please help me:
    1 - Can I trust Mendy to hold his spot down till season end? Will McCarthy displace Forster till season end also?
    The double goali blank hurt

    2 - Is Creswell worth keeping? I not which defender for 5.1M or less can I for till season end? Already have Rudiger/TAA/Semedo/Regi

    Please guys

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      1. If you can hold for one more week, Mendy's situation is likely to be clear. You can go for Sanchez or Meslier instead of McCarthy, better defense.

      2. With that much cash in defense, downgrade Cresswell to Veltman or you can go like for like move to Dallas.

    "When money does not flow from the rich clubs to the poor clubs, everyone suffers." A comment by Perez from Real Madrid about the Mbappe R150 million Euro move. Please tell me how PSG is a poor club? Don't tell me how this money will filter down until we see the evidence!!!

      "When money does not flow from the rich clubs to the poor clubs, everyone suffers." This is true but not sure how that fits here 😛

      Looks like net worth of Real Madrid is much higher than PSG, so maybe in that sense

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years

        Mention the name of a Spanish club atm and it makes me want to vomit.

      This same "rich" club that forced us to sell snake courtois for cheap.
      Doesn't have the attitude of a rich club. More like a poor club bragging to everyone that they're a rich club.

    2 years, 11 months ago

    Morning all. So I think Auba -> Salah(c) looks pretty obvious with 1 of my 2FT. How best to fund the 1.1m downgrade required?

    A) Cancelo -> 4.6m (Veltman)
    B) Gundogan -> 4.5m (ESR)
    C) Kane -> Vardy

    Would lose about 0.3m on Kane, but will WC34/35, so could get him back quickly if fit.

    Martinez
    Trent, Shaw, Targett, Coufal
    Salah, Jota, Raphina
    Watkins, Bamford

    Pope, Cancelo, Gundo, Son, Kane
    WC/FH available

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I like C and captain since you have WC

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers. You think that forces me into a WC34 though if Kane is back? Was ideally planning to use it in 35.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          If Kane is fit, he is must for GW34, I’d get him in for hit or something rather than earlier WC

    2. Cali
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I’d also go for C if I was in your position.

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      C can work

      A is also fine if you want to delay WC

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah that’s the key point I think. C sort of forces the 34WC if Kane is back. Would you plan to WC34 or 35 with this lot?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I would WC in 34, you have FH to deal with any surprise announcement

      C

    2. Cali
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Hmm that’s tough. Could be nice holding on to Raphina, Kane, and Son for their upcoming fixtures. Maybe Cancelo to Saiss? Would you consider playing 5 defenders this week?

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yes I am. Infact I am currently on E from above

    Morning dzz, didnt expect the watkins price rise. ruins my plans. Best moves here with 2ft and 0m itb. Will FH in either 35 or 36.

    Mendy --- Forster
    Rudiger Shaw Veltman TAA Holding
    Salah Bruno Lingard Jota -- Son
    Nacho -- Kane Davis

    Now 0.1m short of Son + Davis >> Greenwood + Watkins

  23. Bob.
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Team for this gw
    Mendy
    TAA Coady Rudiger Fofana
    Salah (c) Jota Bruno Lingard
    Kane Iheanacho

    Forster Holding Kane Son

    I have 0 itb and two ft. Chance to fix my gk situation and I only really want Martinez but only way to get him in would be Vydra to Brewster and Mendy to Martinez.

    Should I
    a)use up the two ft and do above move
    B) get another gk
    C) hope Mendy starts

    Pretty close in one of my minileagues and nice first prize up for grabs so everything is so important now! Cheers

        Hmm yeah he's the only one if I was doing B. Fixtures not great at the end but maybe Forster is back in the team then. Could just do b and then still have two ft and see what to do next week.

      Why? Raph can wait a week. Vardy is Kneejerk IMO

        What, really? That's massive... appreciate it, where'd you learn this?

          Several posts on this site in last 18 hours. Not confirmed

    Thoughts on Mane this week? Can't quite stretch to Salah but Mane offers a reasonably decent differential option.

    1. zotter

      Yes it’s better than not having him at all. Though some surgery for a hit and getting Salah probably better in the long run

      Maybe F. Better options than Podence out there

        For a hit ...

        1. thomashl
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Ah. No

          1. zotter
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            But playing Nacho over Rudiger could (should?) pay for the hit this week alone. ESR / Podence probably both get nothing...

              That's true... If you have the feeling, go ahead!

    This is a terrible question, but:

    Is Joel Ward nailed (lol)?
    Need someone cheap as part of a trade, might as well get one with a DGW.

      Looks like it. Clyne had that spot earlier in season.
