FPL Tips Gameweek 4
FPL Tips Gameweek 4 Welcome to FPL Tips Gameweek 4. The first and most important tip you’ll get this year is to buy players that are on penalty kick duties. This season has seen 20 kicks from the spot in the 28 games that have taken place. That’s an average of 0.71 awarded penalties per match. To put things in perspective 2018 saw 103 penalties for an average of 0.27 per match while in 2019 there were 92 for 0.24. Three game-weeks is still a small sample of course but these 20 penalties did not happen in a random way – they were a result of the new rules in place. Or of the interpretation (not) being made of them by the refs. Speaking of which, another interesting way of looking at this is precisely from the perspective of the referees who awarded them. So, it seems that Anthony Taylor has...[Read More]

FPL Tips Gameweek 3
FPL Tips Gameweek 3 Welcome to FPL Tips Gameweek 3 Hello. This was going to be my first dabble at Tips this season and ahead of GW3, I had planned to furnish you all with players I already owned as they were the ones that had gotten me off to such a good start and looked good for the foreseeable… and then FPL Gameweek 1 happened. After a poor and below average week 1 I recalibrated and prepared myself for the weeks ahead with a -4 by removing Son and Havertz for Rodriguez and Bruno. I was going to just go Havertz to Rodriguez but that wasn’t to be. Oh how I wish I could talk to ‘week-old-ago’ me! We’re now in a position at the end of Gameweek 2 where I am (yet again) below the weekly average – having mustered just 95 points in total – and have managed to escape the house ...[Read More]

Hudson-Odoi representatives to have a meeting with the Chelsea board regarding future
Hudson-Odoi representatives to have a meeting with the Chelsea board regarding future Getting more game time or featuring week in and week out in the first eleven of a team proceeds over everything for a football player in their career. When players start lacking in-game time, their skills and consistency in their respective will be put in question. When this happens, the player is more likely to be loaned out or sold to another team in a transfer window. But there also the case where the player is slowly being integrated into the team, thus causing a reduced inclusion in the first eleven of the team. This is the case of winger Callum Hudson-Odoi, as casinos français also finds his situation tricky. The England international has been no doubt one of the best young talents in the Premier Le...[Read More]
FPL Tips Gameweek 2
FPL Tips Gameweek 2 Welcome to FPL Tips Gameweek 2. If your Gameweek 1 didn’t go to plan that’s ok. If you had a plan, stick to it, if you didn’t then now feels like a perfectly good time to make one. With the Manchester players back on the table, for a lot of people their transfers this week are predetermined. I don’t want to write a great deal about the Manchester lot, we haven’t seen them play and chances are that if you’re bringing one in this week you’ve already decided which way you’re headed. Instead, I’ll focus on the players who have played, for me tips are not always the players you should get, but also the ones you shouldn’t. It’s easy to look at all the players who scored points in GW1 and decide you simply have to take that -8 to get Jeff Hendrick, but I’ll tell you from...[Read More]
Possible Differential Picks for the FPL Season
Possible Differential Picks for the FPL Season Picking a high-scoring player ignored by most other teams can have a massive impact on your FPL performance, whether it’s propelling you up the overall rankings or enabling you to power ahead of your rivals in a mini-league. There are times where you don’t want to play it cute and look for differentials for the sake of being different. Sure, Joel Matip is a whole £2.0m cheaper than Trent Alexander-Arnold, but TAA’s assist record and safe starting spot makes him the best option from the Liverpool defence. The same is true of premium midfielders and attackers, where you’ll probably need two or three big hitters to keep pace with your rivals. Most FPL teams this year will have at least one of Salah, Mane, De Bruyne, Sterli...[Read More]
FPL Tips Gameweek 1
FPL Tips Gameweek 1 2019/20 had it all, VAR, Covid-19 and Liverpool won their first title in 30 years. What can we expect from 2020/21? Well neither VAR nor Covid-19 have gone away. Neither have Liverpool! Can they repeat last season’s heroics? I’m not so sure, but that’s for another day. What of FPL? Apparently, the prices have gone up and we can’t afford all of the players we want. I must be suffering from Déjà vu. In all seriousness though, we moan about the prices at the beginning of every season and once GW1 starts, we find something else to moan about. Something else that never changes is my hatred of writing an intro, so onto the main show… Goalkeepers & Defenders Historically I always treated goalkeepers and defenders separately. However, what invariably happens is I end ...[Read More]
PROMOTED TEAM ANALYSIS- LEEDS UNITED
PROMOTED TEAM ANALYSIS- LEEDS UNITED Premier League football returns to Elland Road this season bringing to an end Leeds United’s sixteen-year absence from top-flight football. The road back has not been easy, thirteen seasons in the Championship, three in League One. The blame for their fall from grace can largely be put down to spectacular financial mismanagement, for those too young to remember, they essentially spent a boatload of cash on players they couldn’t afford in the hope of Champions League success, and then failed to qualify. Oops. That was then, this is now. They are back where (at least where Leeds fans believe) they belong. Manager Marcelo Bielsa’s side lit up the Championship, few could argue that they deserved it this time round, having come so close in seasons gone...[Read More]
PROMOTED TEAM ANALYSIS – FULHAM
PROMOTED TEAM ANALYSIS- FULHAM Introduction The Premier League is back and with it comes three new teams, West Brom, Fulham, and the long-awaited return of Leeds. I will be focusing on the team that have returned at the first time of asking, Fulham. The Cottagers from southwest London were FPL options for us only two seasons ago. I think we all remember having Aboubakar Kamara as our 4.5mln bench fodder forward, with Anguissa being a 4.5mln midfield bench fodder. Fulham were that team we used as cheap budget options, but this season will be different. Kamara is now a 5.0mln midfielder and Anguissa is coming back from a loan at Villareal so I don’t know if Scott Parker will slot him straight back into the side. Scott Parker firstly took over as caretaker manager but couldn’t keep Fulham in ...[Read More]
