🧠 THE MINI COMPLETE GUIDE TO FPL 🧠

Okay here goes nothing - I'm going to turn my full (37 page) Complete Guide to #FPL into an epic twitter thread!

It begins with basics for beginners, then gets into strategies for returning managers to improve their skills

Let's do this! 👇 INTRO

I've played FPL seriously for 4 yrs (224k, 28k, 16k, 19k) and had 2 top 500 finishes in Telegraph Fantasy prior. My background is in financial research, quant analysis and portfolio mngt, and I've played & watched footie for > 30 years

👇🏻 Okay first let’s think about Kev, who’s gone from Mr Popular TC option to crashing down to earth. So there are 2 main approaches to replacement I think - premium, or cheap + funds for Kane. So let’s look and think through each of those routes, starting with the cheap enablers...
