If you haven’t seen this before then , this article includes the scores of the top 10 FPL managers as well as the team selection points. These are just not the current top 10 but 10 managers who’ve been successful over the last 3 years. The 10 managers have now never been outside the top 10k in the last 3 years (30 times playing FPL). The article is all about giving you another view point other than mine. Also the managers I have picked have been consistent showing they can adapt to different seasons.
fantasy premier league gameweek 10 tips – analysing 10 top FPL managers
I’ve reintroduced Utkatsh Dalmia (@zophar666) friend of the site and top 10 manager last year after mistakenly not putting him in. He’s on fire at the moment and the leading manager. I haven’t as yet recalculated the below historic stats but it wont be significantly changed.
I’ll give the FPL managers stats, their GW8 scores and then outline their teams and structure. The stats of the top 10 managers are incredible.
1. The overall average finishing position of the top 10 managers is 1,464
2. The top 10 FPL managers have not been out of the top 10k in the last 3 years (ie 30 times playing)
3. 9 of the 10 have finished in the top 1,000
4. 5 of the 10 managers have finished in the top 100
GW9 average score and rank
The average score of the managers in GW9 was 57 compared to the average of 51. Thats 6 points and 12% above the average. The high score of the 10 was 69. The low score was 48. A reasonably high spread of 21 for the average.
The average overall rank of the top 10 FPL managers dropped slightly to 222k from 198k last gameweek. The best rank is 10k and the lowest 596k.
If you’re interested my score was ok at last at 59 but saw a slight drop of the current rank to 472k compared to 460k last week. My team value is £102.3m. I’m only ahead of 2 of the managers at the moment.
The average team value
The average team value is slightly up at 103.2 up from 102.8 last week.

Team structure
Typically the GK was a cheap GK with McCarthy as a reserve
In the main 2 or 3 defenders from the group of Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool and Spurs were in the team
There was virtually an equal amount of teams with 4 midfielders and a £4.5m 5th mid. The other half played with 5 proper mids.
There was a mixture of values of strikers
7 players over £6.0m are outside the teams of Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool and Spurs. Those are Vardy (5) Mane (3), Mahrez (10), Payet (5) Berahino (1) and Gomis (1)
Here’s a team to represent that. The value is only around £101.0m which shows the money sloshing around with the Aguero sale:
