A fairly sedate round where everyone chose Aguero as captain and such are the teams that the point spread was only 19.
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 DGW34 – 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:

GW33 average score and rank
The GW33 average score of the FPL managers was 56 compared to the average of 38 points. Thats 18 points and 47% above the average. The high score was 64. The low score 45. Thats a spread of 19.
The average of the top 10 FPL managers decreased to 14,900 from 14,100 last week. The highest is approximately 350 and the lowest 54k.

Team source
Mane, Clyne and Downing 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
Team structure
GKS
3/10 FPL manager played an elite keeper.
2/10 FPL managers played cheapies with back up from the same team
5/10 FPL managers played rotating cheapies

0/10 FPL managers had 0 defenders from the top 7 teams as I define them above
4/10 FPL managers had 1 defender from the top 7 teams
4/10 FPL managers had 2 defenders from the top 7 teams
2/10 FPL managers had 3 defenders from the top 7 teams
In midfield
2 FPL managers had 5 proper midfielders
8 FPL managers played 4 proper midfielders and a cheapie reserve
The forwards
10 teams had 1 forward over £10m. 7 had 1 mid and 2 cheap players. 3 had 1 mid and 1 cheap
Here’s a team to represent that. It is around £105.0m which is below the FPL managers average value.
