How did #FPL derive from one bloke’s hobby to over 11 million players?

From Tony Blair’s school initiative to sports cars as prizes, welcome to the crazy, corrupt and often comical growth of online fantasy football... Image
From 1991 to 1994, Andrew Wainstein's "Fantasy League" rapidly progressed from 500 initial users to partnering with the Daily Telegraph and being promoted on the “Fantasy Football League” TV show presented by Baddiel & Skinner.

The less said about that show the better... Image
The first winner of the Telegraph’s (newspaper based) competition was actually a 14-year-old boy, who won two tickets to a match of his choice.

Forget Burnley vs Fulham: this lad picked the World Cup final in the US. Brazil won. Image

Analyzing the world number 1️⃣ (THREAD)

This year’s FPL winner, Ali Jahangirov, has obviously had an amazing season. If we take a closer look at it, how has he played to get where he finished?

#FPLCommunity | #FPL | @OfficialFPL Image
His season in words:

Ali started the season with a solid 75 pts and a 630k rank in GW 1, his fairly template team (with the differential addition Darwin) delivered. He followed that up with two really rough GWs (partly due to Darwin’s red in GW 2) and was ranked 2.9m after GW 3.
After 4 solid weeks he climbed back to 940k, after which he went on to have some incredible GWs in GW 8-10. With a total of 273 pts in 3 weeks, GW ranks of 196k, 34k and 183k he went from 940k to 8k. Notable important hauls in these weeks are the 15-pointer from Saliba in GW 8…

GW 37 Notes - Teams ✍️

🔴 Man Utd - Secured Top 4 and UCL qualification with the win against Chelsea. Nothing to play for in GW 38 now.

🔴 Arsenal - Disappointing and surprising loss vs Forest. Will be looking to bounce back and finish the season with a win in GW 38.
GW 37 Notes - Players ✍️

⚪️ Kane - Superb strike against Brentford, now 28 goals in total this season. Excellent pick for GW 38.

🔵 Hall - Far from being a relevant FPL asset, but it’s worth highlighting that he got 3 bonus points despite 0 attacking returns in a 4-1 loss.

#FPL ImageImage
💎 Everything Manchester City

My expectation is Manchester City wrap up the league against Chelsea in a dominating performance, then rotate heavily against Brighton.

Followed by a fairly strong side against Brentford to ensure momentum and rhythm aren’t lost for the FA Cup.
Mahrez and Alvarez I’m fairly confident start Brighton, and I think they are the two who could also play against Chelsea.

It’s very difficult to predict KDB’s presence, and with the surrounding stories of challenges off the field (hopefully him and his family are well) it…

1) Which Man City player to go for?

Man City is a team that interests all of us but with the possibility of winning title in the first match against CHE, there could be some heavy rotation in 2nd game.

Here are our top 3 picks who have a decent chance of starting both games:
1. Mahrez

Mahrez has had 4 consecutive starts in last 4 matches in the Premier League and looks the most likely to start both games in the double as his direct counterpart Bernardo has been more favored in the Champions League and also started in the last game against Madrid.

With Haaland being an xMins threat for the double, there is a scope to go different with the captaincy.

Fantasypaedia contributor @FPL_Architect lists down his top captaincy options for GW37 in his weekly thread!

#FPL #FPLCommunity #GW37 Image
1️⃣ Erling Haaland (12.4m) – Man City

Fixtures: CHE (H), BHA (A)

Haaland is obviously the standout captaincy pick this GW, he has a DGW with decent fixtures and his ownership will be massive, not to mention the fact that he already has 36 PL goals this season.
However, one could argue that City will rotate heavily in the Brighton game (assuming they win the league vs Chelsea) and even Haaland could be at risk for a benching there. Now, Haaland could of course score a hattrick in the first game and end up starting the second anyway…

Chances Conceded Thread - Gameweek 37

Hello! We are back with the penultimate Chances Conceded Thread.

Please RT if you like it ♻️

Let's start with MUN vs BOU(A) & CHE(H):

Is Bruno Fernandes really worth bringing in? What if it's for a hit?

Read on to find out 👇

#FPL #GW37 Image
Both Bournemouth and Chelsea concede chances from all over the pitch.

Bruno if plays in the right center channel, could be very explosive, especially against Bournemouth.

BOU are ranked 1st, while CHE are ranked 8th for most goals conceded through set-pieces as well!
BHA vs SOU (A) & MCI (H):

Man City have not conceded too many chances this season. So we will target Southampton here.

Mitoma looks like the standout BHA player as Southampton have conceded most chances through their right flank!

Estupinan owners should be hopeful as well! Image

Let's start with NEW vs LEE (A) & BHA (H):

Isak or Wilson? Which Newcastle player benefits the most positionally?

Read on to find out 👇

#FPL #GW36 Image
We expect Isak to start both games & even on left flank, he could be dangerous, especially against Brighton.

Wilson is also a great option despite minutes risk, and if he starts against Leeds, he is a great captaincy option.

Watch out for Trippier as well 👀

#FPL #FPLCommunity #GW36 Image
1️⃣ Riyad Mahrez (7.3m) – Man City

Fixture: EVE (A)

It’s always difficult to guess Pep Guardiola’s starting XI, but with Riyad Mahrez having started 3 PL games in a row before being benched in the UCL, it’s reasonable to assume that he comes back in vs Everton.
With only 3 GWs left it’s time to start taking risks, and if Mahrez ends up starting he’s a differential with an extremely high points ceiling. The fixture is decent, and Mahrez has 4 assists in his last 3 PL games as well as 3 double digit hauls in his last 11 starts.

💎 The Landscape

I essentially just want to reiterate my point from the tweet below.

As someone who loves to go against the template, I understand the frustration.

However, I’ve learnt doing it for the sake of it rarely works, and with the amount of double’s we have, your…
hand is slightly forced.

Going against the template moves on most part - High Risk, and a reward which isn’t equivalent.

That’s my issue, the lack of substantial reward and huge downside.

(This is the only time I have advocated something template to this extent, all season)

#FPL #GW35 Image
With only 4 GWs left of the season, it’s time for FPL managers to take a look at their current overall rank and compare it to their rank target. How far away from your target you are will determine how much risk is worth taking in the final weeks of the season.
Even though the template can seem strong it can’t cover every single good pick, which means that there will be high-upside players with low ownership there for the taking.

Now, bringing in an objectively slightly worse asset isn’t recommended, in most cases, but when you’re…

#FPL Image
I wouldn’t be particularly aggressive about my moves this week.

Having two free transfers for DGW36 will be very helpful.

Even if you only use one, you can have 2FT’s for DGW37.

Most teams are fairly well set up, just about trimming the edges.
💎 Manchester City assets

My preferred combination by some way is Haaland, Stones and a MID.

If you have Ederson then so be it, it’s extremely difficult to remove him in a move which would genuinely be worth your while.

I expect Grealish to be benched this week, as such…

Looking at the Leeds chances conceded...

It's safe to say, 45 minutes will be enough for Haaland to do the damage 🥶

If we get early team news, Alvarez and Mahrez are the two City players who are definitely worth punting on!

Go for the upside 📈
LIV vs BRE:

Brentford have conceded 170 chances through the center!

The question is who will start through the middle?

Salah and Gakpo could be the ones who will be looking to exploit the central areas.

For Brentford, Toney owners should be hopeful as well! Image

Not as routine of a game for Arsenal as it may seem given the away side’s form.

Gabriel has been very good this season, but one of his weaknesses is when a player is very direct towards him and the areas he protects.

With…

#FPL
Zincheko’s inverted nature the RW should certainly have a few opportunities to exploit this.

Aubameyang shouldn’t actually be too mobile in this game, force at least one of the CB’s to stay central and create isolated instances for the wingers.
However, Chelsea aren’t well versed in this system.

The 4-3-3 is the the hardest formation to play well and when you get it wrong, the are consequences catastrophic.

Trossard’s obvious advantage in the duel against Azpilicueta will force the RCB to play sidedly wider than…
