    the “pros” / content creators are reviewing all the data and yet still end up with:

    - XGI ‘killer’ picks like Bruno
    - Overthinking reasons not to select Watkins or Palmer despite form and fixtures or worse yet
    - Spread their funds so thin for ‘bench depth’ that they’re forced to bench Rogers vs Ipswich

      The algorithms did pick Palmer therefore last seasons stats did indicate that he was the best pick.

      I still don't get why people bother with what they say. If u think they talk crap it s very easy to ignore. Paying attention toto their opinions only gets them more revenue.

      Personally never even followed one. Only know big man bakar cuz he's from my country but even he gave questionable advice from what I remember so don't bother

        For example FPL Harry has finished in the top 10K 4 years in a row, you cannot argue that that is not high level advice.

            Yes exactly. I've finished as high as top 500 and as low as 7 digit rank but both seasons were equally fun going by my gut picks. No point sucking the life out of the game by following

      this is not being spiteful.

      just sometimes there are some simple FPL principles:

      - back focal point or talisman attackers
      - form over fixtures, but together is a no brainer
      - don’t leave money on the bench except at Xmas time
      - don’t bench attackers in juicy fixtures
      - don’t double up heavy in defence from the same team, anyone can concede
      - don’t try to over optimise for fixture swings
      - don’t overrate XGI; the eye test, match context and ability matter for

      It makes sense though.
      We are basically trying to predict games in the future, so you go by underlying stats to do so.

      The mistake in my opinion is:
      -People think that following stats is almost a guaranteed chance on succes in the future, so expectations are too high
      -xGi stats do not take into account quality of players, so people blame it on luck when some players will just always over or underachieve

          I'm probably gonna sell Diaz to rebalance but because I couldn't decide who to downgrade I went x3 4.0s. I'm gonna roll this week I think then sell Diaz + a defender during the IB.
