Fantasy Premier League

Just when you think you’ve turned the corner another bad gameweek comes around.  Such is the plight of our 10 top FPL managers

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.

I still haven’t  recalculated the below historic stats after last week but it wont be significantly changed.

I’ll give the FPL managers stats, their GW10 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

GW10 average score and rank

The average score of the managers in GW10 was 37 compared to the average of 42.  Thats 5 points and 12% behind the average.  The high score of the 10 was 45.  The low score was 29.  A reasonably high spread of 16 for the average.

The average overall rank of the top 10 FPL managers dropped slightly to 280k from 222k last gameweek.  The best rank is 10k and the lowest 780k.

If you’re interested my score was ok considering the above at 45  but saw a slight drop of the current rank to 487k compared to 472k last week.   I’m only ahead of 3 of the managers at the moment.

The average team value is strangely up at £103.7m up from 103.2 last week.

Transfers

Transfers out

Ben Davies was transferred out by 2/10 FPL managers

No one else was transferred out more than once

Transfers in

Bellerin was transferred in by 2 of the 10 FPL managers

Vardy was transferred in by 3/10 FPL managers

No one else was transferred in more than once

Formation

7 of 10 used 3-4-3

2/10 used 3-5-2

1/10 used 4-3-3

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

More and more players over £6.0m are outside the teams of Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool and Spurs.  Those are   Vardy (5) Mane (2), Mahrez (10), Payet (6) Berahino (1) and Mitrovic (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:
