7 of the 10 FPL managers saw a significant drop in rank after only 1 picked Vardy as their captain and paid the price for it.
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 13 tips – analysing 10 top FPL managers
I still haven’t recalculated the below historic stats but it wont be significantly changed.
I’ll give the FPL managers stats, their GW11 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
GW12 average score and rank
The average score of the managers in GW12 was 47 compared to the average of 45. Thats 2 points and 4% above the average. The high score of the 10 was 61. The low score was 40. A very high spread of 21 for the average.
The average overall rank of the top 10 FPL managers improved slightly to 251k from 261k last gameweek. The best rank is 30k and the lowest 940k. The average was distorted by the trailing manager moving up 300k with the top score. 7 of the 10 managers saw quite significant drops in overall rank.
If you’re interested my score was poor again at 43 after not following my captain strategy of the poll leader for the first time and that 14 point swing saw huge drop of 87k to 547k. I’m only ahead of 1 of the managers at the moment.

Team structure
Typically the GK was a cheap GK with McCarthy/Hennesey as a reserve although 3 now are using an elite GK of DeGea or Begovic (question that definition at the moment)
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 Pelle (9) Vardy (8) Mane (5), Mahrez (10), Payet (6) and Mitrovic (1)
Here’s a team to represent that. The value is only around £103.0m
