FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE GW6 TIPS – ANALYSING 10 TOP MANAGERS

Fantasy Premier League, top 10 FPL managers

Here’s the early 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. The top 10 Managers have played 30 times in the last 3 years and none have finished outside the top 10k in that time. 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.

COMPARISON WITH THE TOP 10K

Here’s a comparison with the how the top 10k overall rank average team looks like. The information is provided by the excellent site FPL discovery. Ranks given the early nature of the game are very volatile so don’t read into it too much at the moment.

What it does show is that the top 10 fpl managers I follow have huge differences with the top 10k rank.  Here are the main ones:

The top 10k favour the following significantly more than the managers I follow:

De Gea, Shaw, Walker, Lamela, Negredo and Costa

The 10 Managers I follow favour the following more significantly than the top 10k

Foster, Valencia, Stones, Friend, Amat, Hazard, Sanchez, Capoue, Redmond, Benteke,

FOCUS ON 1 MANAGERS TEAM

Again we focus on the managers team who last season finished the highest of my then top 10 FPL managers. A bit of a slow start but this is similar to last season and he ended up finishing in 1,400th position so he wont be panicking.  Here he shows that he’s definitely on the way back and that you can never doubt him.  This manager is the closest thing to a fantasy football celebrity there is due to his consistent results so we’ll keep an eye on him. The overall rank tonight is before ranks are confirmed
