Here’s the updated version of our regular feature where we analyse the teams of 10 top FPL managers who in the last 3 seasons where none have finished outside the top 10k. That’s 30 times playing. 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. We’ve added the scores of the gameweek, rank and team value of the top 10 managers in the first 2 gameweeks
