You would think that 20 points for Sanchez would have turned a corner for the top 10 FPL managers. Unfortunately it didn’t and it was another step back
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 8 – analysing 10 top FPL managers
I’ll give the FPL managers stats, their GW6 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
GW7 average score and rank
The average score of the managers in GW7 was 49 compared to the average of 46. Thats 3 points and 7% above the average. The high score of the 10 was 60. The low score was 40. A reasonably high spread of 20 for the average.
The average overall rank of the top 10 FPL managers is down to 698k down from 646k last gameweek. The best rank is 175k and the lowest 1.27m.
If you’re interested my score was poor again at 45 and a current rank down to 1m down from 806k last week. My team value is £102.7m. I’m still ahead of 3 of the managers at the moment though showing how desperate the situation is.
The average team value
The average team value is 102.7 up from 102.2 last week.

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
6 players over £6.0m are outside the teams of Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool and Spurs. Those are Mane (2), Mahrez (10), Payet (4), Ayew (1) and Gomis (2)
Here’s a team to represent that. The value is around £101.0m.
