Fantasy Premier League

Here’s the latest  article reviewing 10 top FPL managers and how they did in FPL gameweek 11.   As you would have heard before if you’ve seen the article, these aren’t just managers successful now but managers who have been successful for the last 3 years. The 10 managers have never finished outside the top 10,000 in the last 3 years. These articles give you another perspective apart from mine. They should also give you confidence if theyre holding or selling a player when you are.
