I thought I would do this article in 2 parts again as it’s such a long gameweek and one with significant change to it. The first part gives all the usual information except for the updated scores. Part 2 I’ll bring in the scores.
Ok so here’s the introduction for our fantasy premier league gameweek 35 tips article. If you haven’t seen this before, 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.

Comparison with the top 10k overall rank
Here’s a comparison between the players that make up the top 10 FPL managers and the top 10k overall ranked teams in FPL. The information is from the excellent site FPL discovery. We’ll show you the info and then talk through some thoughts on the meaning. Obviously with the 10 top managers the percentages are always going to be a factor of 10. % at or greater than 100% could mean that 1 team has more than 1 player in that defensive team
