Having g Aquero and Sanchez in my team is killing me score wise. May try a different captain next GW.

Sorry for the long post. I’ve been looking at the BPS from over the last 4 gameweeks. In short, fullbacks have been thriving from the new system, scoring more bonus points each gameweek than stri…

Who's the player that disappointed you most in these first 4 GWs? My nomination goes to... Wayne Rooney.

Why has the "FFS Template" performed badly over the first 4 GWs? Well, one thing is player selection hasn't turned out well. But there is an interesting underlying factor. Experienced FPL manage…

Don't think this is article worthy, since it is by no means comprehensive and quite self-selecting, but when getting Mahrez I was thinking about the bandwagons that truly were worth hopping on for …

Allow me the indulgence of a post, my compatriots. I am one of you, if not in contribution, in spirit at least. Consider this my first comment or post, although I have posted all of once before. (s…

Fpl transfers and bandwagons are a bit like booking with a low cost airline. Get in early, get 'em cheap, get in late and pay through the nose and no doubt enjoy the experience far less. Most playe…

Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic Why are we getting our captaincy selections so wrong? Is it something we are doing? Are we risk averse? Or are the failures of Aguero, Rooney, Sanchez and H…

OK RCA, here are 5 wildcard options for you to ignore. 🙂 I'll leave out the obvious ones - City and Mahrez. And they are not in any special order. 1. Bournemouth attacker. 4 of the next 5 ga…
