Here’s the FPL gameweek 12 alternate strategy teams article. This consists of the bookies team, the shots in the box team, an expected goals team and the bandwagons team to assess some alternate FPL strategies.
FPL GAMEWEEK 12 – THE ALTERNATE FFGEEK TEAMS
Here we look at 4 different ways of setting up your FPL team. I really enjoy this as everything is picked by formula so no procrastination required.
THE BOOKIES TEAM
The bookies team finished with an OR of 6k last season
The bookies team was set up by picking the best anytime goal scoring odds from bookies for attacking players and clean sheet odds for defenders for the next game only with no reference to future fixtures.
2 transfers are made every 2 weeks unless there’s an injury or a gametime risk. The 2 transfers will seek to improve the overall odds for the 11 players forecast to play. The captain will be the player with the best ATGS odds. I generally use anytime goal scoring odds for my player decisions but if you think odds for the margin of winning help in a decision then have a look here.
The team will be predominantly 4-3-3 as it will seek to have 3 premium forward options as captains
GW11 Pts: 49 pts (av 44 pts) Total points 600 OR: 386k TV: £99.7m

Transfers were Holgate out to Gomez and Redmond out to Richarlison
THE SHOTS IN THE BOX TEAM
Last season the underlying stat was shots on target. That team finished with a 77k OR. This season we’ve gone for shots in the box as the underlying stat of choice. The team was set up with the players with the best shots in the box stats from last season within a certain team structure. Defence has aimed to be set and forget.
Captain choice will be the player highest in the captain polls. Transfers will be 2 every 2 weeks except for injury replacing the lowest rank player for stats with the highest rank within a general team structure
GW11 Pts: 71 pts (av 44 pts) Total points 619 OR: 612k TV: £101.4m

lineup for GW12
2 transfers Choupo Moting to Zaha and Monreal to Dann
THE BANDWAGONS TEAM
This is a new team this season. The team was set up with the highest ownership players at the start of the season again within a team structure. Except when there’s injuries, 2 transfers every 2 weeks replacing the most transferred out players with the most transferred in. Transfers will be done early in that week in order to maximise team value. The captain will be the highest player in the polls.
GW11 Pts: 48 pts (av 44 pts) Total points 586 OR: 649k TV: £100.2m

Mee for Lascelles and Azpilicueta for Alderweireld
THE EXPECTED GOALS TEAM
This team has been changed to an expected goals team a couple of weeks ago by wildcard. Same theory transfer every 2 weeks except for injury, place lost or suspension. Transfers will be to replace lowest ranked with highest ranked subject to team structure. Captain will be poll leader. You can see the expected goals stats for teams and players in my underlying stats articles
GW11 Pts: 60 pts (av 44 pts) Total points 620 OR: 153k TV: £101.8m
