Ola Hovde, the number 1️⃣ in the world (Thread)

With half the season completed, I started to look at the number 1 in the world and how he has played

Ola Hovde has been number 1 ever since GW10 this season but what has he done to get there? What can we learn from it?
Some things I noticed while looking at his gameweek history: 👀

🔘 Was 88th in the world after 126 points in GW2 after heroics from Kane ©️, Son, DCL and Rodriguez

🔘 Played his wildcard in GW10 and has been number 1 ever since

🔘 Taken 2 hits all season (GW9 + GW19)
📅 Previous ranks:

2013/14: 2 582 055
2016/17: 2 609 556
2017/18: 3 912 938
2018/19: 2 726 178
2019/20: 1 635 618

⭐️ Favourite players throughout the season:

Justin GW1-
DCL GW1-11
Kane GW1-9
Son GW1-9
KDB GW10-
Bruno GW9-
McCarthy GW1-
Grealish GW5-
Dias + Cancelo GW10-
©️ Captaincy:

Salah 7x
KDB 5x
Kane 3x
Son 2x
Bruno 2x

Total points: 342

Total points for myself (rank 478k): 266
❌Popular players he has never owned this season:

Pope
Martinez/Villa defender
Stones
Zouma
Chilwell
James
Rashford
Sterling
Aubameyang
Werner
Vardy
Ings/Adams
📖 Summary:

What can we now see and learn from looking at all of this information?

Obviously Ola has got so many decisions and transfers right this season

Having players like Kane, Son, DCL, Saiss, Justin etc in his starting team evidently gave him a massive boost...
but how he has played since is what makes me really impressed especially his wildcard that was played at the perfect time in GW10 when that fixture swing for Spurs and Man City started.

Getting rid of players like Kane, Son, an injured Digne, Ziyech, Watkins etc and going...
with KDB, getting Salah back from his injury and Dias + Cancelo on double Man City defense is a major reason why he currently has a 24-point lead.

But obviously everything hasn't gone right for him. Benching Justin and Soucek on multiple occasions has made him lose a lot of...
points just like transferring in Zaha in GW3 after he had just scored 23 points and then only managing to get 3 points from him after getting rid ahead of GW5 when he then continued to score 22 points the following 2 gameweeks.

But overall it's incredible how excellent Ola's...
season has been. He has gone safe with captaincy and captained the obvious choice most of the time, he has been calm and taken 2 hits and had great timing with the use of his chips.

His previous ranks shows that he has never been nowhere near close to the top in FPL before...
and it's a very long season left but he has definitely put himself in a great position with a 24-point lead to win the entire thing!
Hopefully you have maybe learned something from this thread about how the number 1 in the world so far has played this year...

Could may be some parts that you and I can both learn from and take into 2nd half of the season 😁👊

(THREAD)

There will be no real theme throughout this thread like I usually have. Simply wanted to talk about a couple of topics from the past few gameweeks.

Let’s start with Leicester assets that have a great schedule coming up with eve, LEE, ful, wol. It seems like...
Rodgers has decided the front 3 now with Maddison, Barnes and Vardy. Let’s compare them per start over their last 4 games:

Barnes vs Maddison vs Vardy

xG: 0,49 - 0,12 - 0,35
Touches in the box: 5,25 - 1,33 - 6,67
Shots: 3,5 - 2 - 3,33
Shots on target: 1,5 - 0,67 - 0,67
xA: 0,11 - 0,13 - 0,23
Key passes: 0,5 - 2,67 - 0,67
FPL points: 6,5 - 7,67 - 4

Interestingly enough it’s actually Harvey Barnes that has shown the most promise out of the Leicester attack in recent weeks, especially if you look at value for money with Vardy being...

TOP 5 PLAYER TOPICS AHEAD OF GW10 (Thread)

Back again with this week's thread that will take a look at 5 players that are hot in the FPL community currently ahead of the upcoming gameweek that starts within a few hours! 🔥

Let's go...⤵️ #FPL #FPLCommunity Image
1. Kevin De Bruyne (11.6)

The highest point scorer in FPL last season has only scored 29 points so far this season. To put that in perspective, that’s lower than West Brom’s goalkeeper Johnstone. However it looks like this poor form is about to come to an end. Despite playing... Image
tough opponents in Liverpool and Spurs over the last 2 GWs, KDB is 2nd for xA (expected assists) and 1st when it comes to big chances created and shot attempts. With fixtures like BUR (H), FUL (H) and WBA (H) in their next 4 and with Aguero coming back, KDB feels like a great...

TOP 5 PLAYER TOPICS AHEAD OF GW9 (Thread)

Back again with the series that got so much appreciation and kind feedback last time around! 👏

This series will take a look at 5 players that are hot in the FPL community currently ahead of the upcoming gameweek. Let's go! ⤵️
1. Joao Cancelo (5.4)

4 straight 90 minutes appearances for the team that held the most clean sheets last season, 1.8% ownership, a bonus points magnet and an amazing fixture run coming up. For only 5.4, Joao Cancelo is a hot topic in the community. He managed to got a bonus... Image
point in GW8 despite blanking and Pep seems to have prioritized the defense heavily after they dropped points against both Leicester and Leeds in GW3-4. Since GW4, Cancelo has played every single minute and Man City have put up some impressive defensive numbers. 2nd in lowest...

Heung-Min Son replacements (Thread)

The highest scoring midfielder in FPL as of writing, Son picked up an injury in the first half against Newcastle and is now expected to already drop in price tonight

Who are the best replacements? What should you do with him? ⤵️ Image
These were Jose Mourinho’s words in the press conference after the game:

"It's an injury, we'll have him out for a while. It's his hamstring."

He also said that he expects Son to miss out for a long time. If it’s a partial or a complete muscle tear, we don’t know, but...
I probably won't expect Son to play in October at least. It should be mentioned that Son often recovers faster than usual.

For those that don’t care or think about the price drop it could be a wise decision to wait a few days until the injury has been assessed 🚑
