Here’s our FPL transfer tips GW38 article where we analyse the teams of 20 top FPL managers. These 20 managers have not finished outside the overall rank of the top 10k in the last 3 seasons. Considering how variable the last 3 years have been this is remarkable consistency and shows an ability to adapt strategy in different seasons
FPL Transfer Tips GW38 – Analysing The Teams Of 20 Top FPL Managers
Introduction
The criteria I’ve always been looking for is managers who’ve finished in the top 10k for the last 3 years when FPL has become considerably harder due to the amount of people playing and the information available.
The 20 managers stats
Note one of the 20 managers has stopped doing his team so I’ve replaced him with a player who meets the criteria of last 3 top 10k ORs. I haven’t changed these stats below as I write this but will do
These managers are incredible and every bit as impressive as last season.
1. The overall average finishing overall rank of the top 20 managers in the last 3 seasons is 3,978
2. The top 20 FPL managers have not been out of the top 10k in the last 3 seasons (ie 60 times playing)
3. 9 of the 20 have finished in the top 1,000 in the last 3 seasons
Here’s their position after GW37
note in this particular case the 102k average overall rank isn’t an average but reflects the overall rank of the total points of 2,270. Averages of Overall Ranks get distorted as the relationship to points is not linear
The spread of GW37 points is points 28.
Here’s a link to the google spreadsheet as the above will be very difficult to read on a phone

The Template
I’m taking a template player to be on 11 of 20 teams
A player will be considered template if he is in 11 of the 20 teams (55%)
Here’s the overall template after GW36
Verbruggen Darlow
O’Reilly, Van Hecke, Hill, Gabriel
Bruno Fernandes, Tavernier, Cherki, Saka
Haaland, Calvert-Lewin,
That’s 12 of 15 players
The top scoring managers team for GW37
It’s Begvam with 73
The combined 20 top FPL managers teams
However, as it stands now, here’s a team which tries to make a combination from the most represented players. Please note that it is meant to be a menu of players to help you choose your transfer rather than a realistic team and it’s value is not necessarily achievable. This week the overall team costs around £105.1m so notv ery achievable. It’s the 12 player template team plus Gross, Struijk and Gyokeres
