A good double gameweek for the top 10 FPL managers although the scores were fairly similar as Sanchez claen sweeped the captains role.
If you haven’t seen the articles before this is the latest in the series where we follow the teams of 10 top managers. These aren’t just managers successful now but managers who have been successful for the last 3 years. The 10 managers have never finished outside the top 10,000 in the last 3 years. These articles give you another perspective apart from mine. They should also give you confidence if they’re holding or selling a player when you are.
fantasy premier league GW38 – analysing 10 top FPL managers
First off all I’ll remind you of the new managers stats. Then we’ll look at team structure and then the transfers made to get an insight into their thinking. There’s also a team at the end to summarise the position if you don’t want to go through the whole article
Top 10 FPL managers stats:
1. Their averaging finishing position over the last 3 years has been 2,353
2. The 10 FPL managers have never been outside the top 10,000 in the last 3 years. Thats 30 times playing
3. 5/10 have finished in the top 1,000 in the last 3 years
4. 4/10 have finished in the top 100 in the last 3 years
GW37 average score and rank
The GW37 average score of the FPL managers was 65 compared to the average of 42 points. Thats 18 points and 43% above the average. The high score was 72. The low score 53. Thats a reasonably low spread of 19 points for a double gameweek
The average of the top 10 FPL managers improved to approximately 9,000 up from 9,500 last week. The highest is approximately 300 and the lowest 34k. Another manager at 21k also drags down the average as the next lowest score is 11k.
7/10 managers are now under the magic 10k mark which is 1 better than last week. However 1 manager is 11k so it will be interesting to see if he can make it into the top 10k. 2 are now in the top 1,000.
The average team value
The average team value dropped to £106.1m down from £106.4m last week.

Team source
Benteke and Clyne are the only players in the 10 FPL managers teams over £6.0m that are outside my definition of the traditional top 4 challenging teams of Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Spurs and Man Utd.
High ownership players
I’ve removed this now as there is such a distortion on ownership due to a number of FPL managers having given up on their teams. If anything this article is a good bellweather for leading FPL managers ownership
