fantasy premier league GW11 tips – analysing the teams of 10 top FPL managers

Fantasy Premier League, top 10 FPL managers

Here’s our fantasy premier league GW11 tips article where we analyse the teams of 10 top FPL managers. These 10 managers have not finished outside the overall rank of the top 10k in the last 3 seasons. Considering how variable the last 3 years have been this is remarkable consistency and shows an ability to adapt strategy in different seasons. It also gives you a view other than my own on strategy and player selection.

FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE GW11 TIPS – ANALYSING THE TEAMS OF 10 TOP FPL MANAGERS

THE 10 MANAGERS STATS

This season we welcome back 4 of last seasons managers who were the subject of our article. We add to that a new 6 managers. Stats of these managers are unbelievable and every bit as impressive as last season

1. The overall average finishing overall rank of the top 10 managers in the last 3 seasons is 2,963

2. The top 10 FPL managers have not been out of the top 10k in the last 3 seasons (ie 30 times playing)

3. All 10 have finished in the top 1,000 in the last 3 seasons

GAMEWEEK REVIEW




A mixed week for the top 10 FPL managers. 5/10 had green arrows.

The average score of the managers in GW10 was 51 compared to the game average of 46. That’s 5 points and 11% above the game average score. High score of the 10 was 66. The low score was 41. A high spread of 25 for a fairly low scoring gameweek.

The average overall rank of the top 10 FPL managers saw an improvement to 503k compared to 555k in the last gameweek. An average rank improvement of 52k. The best rank is 143k and the lowest 994k. If you calculated the median rank then that improved to 556k compared to 617 last gameweek. An improvement of rank of 20k. All 10 managers have overall ranks better than 1 million. Only 4 better than 500k.

The average points are 549.

The average value worsened from £101.8m to £101.7m

If you’re interested my score was terrible at 42 with no point hits and resulted in a 47k red arrow from 95k overall rank to 142k . I had a higher score than only 1 of the managers. I’m ahead in OR terms at the moment of 9/10 of the managers. My team value is down £0.1m on the last gameweek to £101.7m. My total points is 574. You can see my early thoughts on the FFGeek team article for GW11 which I’ll be doing next.

FOCUS ON 1 MANAGERS TEAM




As we said last week, the celebrity manager we followed last season finished around the 20k mark so he’s not in the group this season. This season were going to focus on the manager each week who had the highest finish last season with an amazing overall rank of 15 believe it or not.

Another good score. His score this week was 64 and he again was the 2nd highest scorer of the 10 and his rank is 178k. An improvement of rank of 208k from last weeks OR of 386k. His points total is 570. He’s the 2nd ranked of the 10 FPL managers

THE HIGHEST SCORER

 fanatsy premier league gw11 tips

  His score was 66

THE LOWEST SCORER

 fantasy premier league gw11 tips

His score was 41

Firstly 5 of the 11 players were the same plus each had a defender from the same team

I’ve often said that differences in scores in a gameweek come down to 1 of more of the following 3 things normally:

Defence –  10 points difference

Captain – 6 points

A few attackers –  2 attacking players apart from the captains  made a difference of 9 points

So the differences were a bit more spread out than in some instances

THE TOP 10K OVERALL RANK VS THE FPL MANAGERS

Lets look at the differences in the teams

 fantasy premier league GW11 tips

Some huge differences between the top 10 managers teams and the current top 10k.

The top 10 managers favour more than the top 10k (using 30% as a significant difference):

Elliot, Foster, S Ward, Richarlison, Mee, Sterling, Choupo Moting and Vardy

The top 10k favour more than the FPL managers (using 30% as a significant difference):

Only De Gea

The top 10 k average score was 47 and the 10 FPL managers average score was 51.
