You may remember my posts from last year where I followed 10 top FPL managers and analysed their teams and transfers. These aren’t just managers who are successful at the minute but those who have been successful consistently over the last 3 years. It gives you another perspective apart from mine
fantasy premier league tips – Analysing 10 top FPL managers
I’ll look at the initial team structure in this article. I’ll look at which players are owned by the managers. I don’t mention every player obviously just those owned by a minimum amount. I’ll also look at the captain choices. but next week I’ll start analysing transfers as well.
The 10 top FPL managers stats
These aren’t the same 10 as last season as I’ve had trouble finding some. I’ve still got 10 quality managers to analyse though. As the season goes on I will try to add even more successful managers
6/10 FPL managers are the same as last season
Here’s the stats:
1. Their averaging finishing position over the last 3 years has been 9,984. Thats the top 0.3% of FPL managers
2. 4/10 have finished in the top 1000 in the last 3 years
These are still pretty impressive stats
GW1 average score
A pretty ordinary start overall. The average score was 60. The highest score was 81 and the lowest score was 45.

They are Rooney 48%, Ramsey 38%, Costa 36%, Lovren 35%, Sterling 32%, and Sturridge 31%
On average these 6 players were owned 3.6 times by the 10 FPL managers.
