INITIAL SQUAD

GK (8.5m)- Heaton, McGovern

DEF(27m)- TAA, Digne, Stones, Adam Smith

MID(46m)- Salah, Sterling, KDB, Moura, Dendonk

FOR(18.5m)- Haller, King, Greenwood

Almost all of these are proven premier league players. Spread across a lot of teams to minimise risk.

FORMATION

3-4-3: 23
4-4-2: 6
3-5-2: 4
4-3-3: 1
(1BB)

At the start of the season he favoured a 4-4-2 formation. By about GW5 he had changed to prefer a 3-4-3. Then changed again to a 3-5-2 on his Restart Wildcard.

He has always chosen to spend the minimum on his bench.

3/8
CHIPS

1st WC: GW13 This was in advance of a fixture swing for LIV he went from NO Liverpool Attack to bringing in Salah and Mane

TC: DGW24 on Mo Salah and scored 16 points

BB: DGW30+ scoring 125 points

FH: GW31+ scoring 88 Points

2nd WC: GW33+ final push

4/8
CAPTAIN

Premium (10m+): 31
Non Premium: 5 (Vardy, Son, Abraham, Abraham, Pulisic)

Home Team: 25
Away Team: 11

Bottom 14: 32
Big 6: 4

He is one to trust a lot of players with the Armband but he is looking to make sure they have an easy fixture and are a premium asset.

5/8
TRANSFERS

In general Magnus saves up and has 2 FT where possible.

He has only took 3 hits.

He tries to bring players in in pairs e.g If Man U had an easy run of fixtures he would look to get in Martial and Rashford.
He has done this numerous times during the season.

6/8
OTHER RULES

Try to own 2 premium assets

He Keeps his bench as cheap as possible (16.5m-18m)

Very Very Rarely triples up on a team. He has only done this with Man City at the start of the season. Liverpool in the middle and very recently Man U. (Always 1 Def, 2 Att)

I will continue to follow Magnus and look for more clues.
