enjoyment. After all this is a game even though it may seem much more than that in our heads at times.
1. What worked well
I started off by looking back on the seasons that went well from OR perspective. I have had 3 top 10k finishes so I looked at those for any similarities..

In those seasons I took fewer hits and made less transfers overall. I also got off to a fairly decent start. I think those 2 are linked to each other. I also played my 1st wildcard reasonably early

running and got lucky with getting on the likes of Lundstram, Pukki, TAA and Robbo early doors.
My intent was to play an early enough WC but was able to hold until GW9 as I was in ok shape.
Once I felt like I needed to take a hit I knew it was time to consider WC......

I was very determined to go through the full season hit free. After my WC I rolled a transfer most weeks. Having 2FTs most weeks gave me a great sense of control as I felt I was equipped to deal with most situations week to week. The GWs that I had 2FTs were the weeks I began..
climbing the rankings..
I also decided against any early transfers, regardless of price changes. On a normal gw I made my transfers on a Friday night as you had plenty info..
My cap picks were proven assets.. No punts..

This was the first year I properly engaged with the #FPLCommunity on twitter. I had listened to the @FPLGeneral's @59thMinutePod on my Friday evening commute (Great work Mark btw!) and would check the @FFScout website for injury news/pressers...
The #FPLCommunity has some fantastic contributors but I was very conscious not to get swayed by what I read and end up following the crowd too much. Following the crowd too much makes the game less enjoyable in my opinion..
I also tried to limit FPL activity to the Friday night. A wife, 3 young boys and a full time job are priority!
So in conclusion what I feel are the... key tips for success are are follows:
1. Use your wildcard early if you are not happy with your team after a few gwks.

Do this once the urge to take hits starts to grow
2. Roll your transfers. 2FTs is power!
3. Play your own game. By all means read and listen to content but you cannot do what all the experts say. If in doubt go with your gut. Its more fun that way!
4. Focus on proven assets..

when picking a captain. This week I couldnt bring myself to put it on Pulisic or Giroud with the likes of Bruno, Sterling and Salah having great fixtures..
5. Be patient with your transfers. Wait for all the info
6. No hits!
Im hoping to retain OR of approx. 200 which is a PB

I plan on adding one or two tweaks to my strategy for next year. I hope you pick up a nugget or two from this to help climb those rankings! Please like and RT. Thanks! #FPLCommunity @FPLGeneral @FPL_physio @Fpl_Sledge @FPL_LiverGirl @FPLFamily @FPLCoach @FFScout @FFH_HQ
