7 green arrows and 3 reds. Again little differences make a big score difference with Arnautovic, Fuchs and a Bournemouth defender the keys to a good score.
Ok so here’s our fantasy premier league gameweek 28 tips article. 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 never finished 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 28 tips – analysing 10 top FPL managers
The 10 managers FPL stats
I’ll give the FPL managers stats, their GW27 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)

4. 5 of the 10 managers have finished in the top 100
GW27 average score and rank
The average score of the managers in GW27 was 43 compared to the average of 33. Thats 10 points and 30% above the average. The high score of the 10 was 52. The low score was 35. A high spread of 17. 7 had green arrows 3 had a red
The average overall rank of the top 10 FPL managers took a small upwards to 241k from 251k in the last gameweek. An increase of 10k. The best rank is 15k and the lowest 648k.
If you’re interested my score was a reasonably good one of 46. A increase in the rank to 418k from 463k. A increase of rank of 45k. I remain ahead of 2 of the top 10 managers. My team value is a disaster though at £101.9m

Formation
Because of the blanks the formation was irrelevant
Team structure
Typically the GK was a cheap GK with McCarthy/Hennessey as a reserve although 3 now are using an elite GK of DeGea and LLoris
In the main 2 or 3 defenders from the group of Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool and Spurs were in the team.
The blanks have now increased the amount of 5th mids and now half are using 5 proper mids
More and more players over £6.0m are outside the teams of Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool and Spurs.
Focus on 1 managers team
This time we’ve focused on the team thats 9th in our top ten managers ranks on £417k.
Just to show you how hard it has been this year here’s history
Now here’s his team:
Despite being behind he’s not panicking and in attack his non template players are only Giroud and Arnautovic and he’s going with a midfield 5. In defence he’s got the template Leicester, Southampton and Spurs but no Stoke. His gambles are Everton and WBA which were the result of previous good fixture runs
An overall team to represent the top 10 managers
I’ve gone for a 4 man midfield to get the value under £102m. You could take out Westwood for say Arnautovich or Sanchez depending on your bank balance.
