Tips and advice from the Fantasy Premier League world number two

In our latest Fantasy Premier League (FPL) video of the November international break, Az chats to the current world number two Oscar – aka FPL Focal – about his triumphant season to date.

Oscar can be found profiling some of the greatest FPL managers of all time over on his YouTube channel but is in with a shout of achieving something special himself in 2021/22, sitting just three points behind Daniel Masson-Abraham in first place.

Oscar discusses his spectacularly successful decision to Bench Boost in Gameweek 11, the result of which catapulted him from 323rd to a podium place.

Luck versus skill is debated as Oscar talks us through his season history, while thoughts on his Gameweek 12 set-up and future plans – including what to do with the misfiring Ivan Toney (£6.7m) – are also discussed.

You can watch the interview via the embedded video below or over on our YouTube channel.

    Anything worth a change? 1ft 0.1itb
    Will probably bench Raph for Livramento if latter is fit.

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James
    Son Raph Gallagher Salah(c)
    Toney Antonio Vardy

    Morning All,

    With 2FTs and 0.9 itb, what to do with the below team?

    Sa'
    TAA Cancelo Livra* Chilwell
    Salah Raphinha Mount Mbeumo
    Ronaldo Antonio

    subs: Steer King Sissoko White

    Was thinking Ronaldo + Mount > Kane + Foden for free or Ronaldo + Mount > Wilson + Son for free.

    Both options look good, but losing Ronaldo ahead of Watford's game is not an easy decision

      No way I would move Ronaldo out this week. They're playing Watford and even though UTD have been bad he's still scoring. If I had CR7 I would captain this week over Salah without question

    Right so Vardy is going for Wilson. Then I’ll use my other FT on Jota for Benrahma or TAA for Tierney.

    Which one?

    Or both for a hit?

        Cancelo is a glaring omission at the moment. I'm not sure I want 4 expensive defenders. Might have to lose one of the Chelsea lads for him.

        I owned both Gallagher and ESR on wildcard earlier in season, then got rid of them before they exploded. Can't quite bring myself to go back.

      B of those. Sarr looks like your weak link & with so many good midfield options at the moment, you're missing out by playing only 3. That said, I'm not entirely sold on Jota. There's lot of contextual factors working in his favour (OOP in such an attacking team, underpriced, Firmino injury, then congested schedule & AFCON) but his performances this season have been a bit underwhelming so far.

      A easily. Look at the highest scoring/value players this year. 4ATB seems the way to go right now.

      B. Is an option to look at too, great value and even more when secured starts. Id look to do both a &b.

      Jota is a better pick than Son and Kane at mo. As a spurs fan all this hype regarding Son and Kane as it stands is probably coming from these influencers who i can only assume haven't watched us play of late. Or they think Conte can pull miracles out of his arse. He needs time

    1) Vardy + Mbuemo + Normann --> Davis + Jota + Foden (3-5-2)
    2) Vardy + Mbuemo + Norman —> Armstrong/Hwang + Foden + Jota

    Basically weighing up whether to go for a stronger bench with Armstrong/Hwang or to keep more in the bank for further weeks

    Rest:
    Ramsdale
    TAA / Cancelo / Chillwell
    Salah / Son / Mbuemo / Raphinha
    Antonio / Toney / Vardy

    Foster, Livramento, Normann, Obamadele..

      2 with Hwang, even though fixtures turn quite poor soon. But he seems (relatively) more nailed than Armstrong & I think you'll want/need a better 2nd bench option than Omobamidele

        Yea I’m leaning towards that - well if I get Hwang he’ll be my second bench option - obamadele would be 3rd

    £2.4 in the bank and 2FTs

    would you..

    a) bring in Son and B. Johnson, transfer out Saka and Rudiger.

    b) bring in Son, Brownhill and Reguilon, transfer out Saka, Sarr and Rudiger.

    c) bring in Kane, transfer out Vardy
