Small thread - This may be very unpopular- I’m not trying to cause argument here. Just my view. That’s all.
Is FPL skills based or luck based (some chat on this going on) ?

My personal view it is a skill based game. Luck is a small factor. For example, I work in an
organisation that I get paid very well 2 give my professional judgement& most of the time I’m right,few time’s I’m not.That doesn’t mean that all the time I got it right that I was lucky. I based it on the knowledge I have acquired. My
decisions are based on probability and prior knowledge. When I was younger I was brash and impulsive in what I did. Although I had all the education. I was more wrong than right. But over time I honed my skill and learnt from that. That’s similar to how I have played FPL.
FPL takes time and skill to do well year in and out.
Also, Before a season starts I know exactly who my competition is in my mini leagues and who will drop away. Not because they don’t know anything about football (some of my mates no more than I do about football).

But Just merely because there skill is not matched to others in that group. They don’t follow a plan, lose temperament, panic when the team does badly, go for ridiculous differentials.
On the fip side Every now and again one of my mates will go and have a blinder of a season.

All there risks pay off, differentials work, the hits pay off etc. That usually happens once for them or maybe twice over the last 10-12 years that I have playing. That doesn’t make them skilled. That’s luck. They will say that to me too.
But for people like me, who get top ranks year in year out. i do think there is a method behind the game, skill is involved (I have a method that has won me many leagues and money). Anyway I could go on. But I start work in 5 minutes. Lol End thread.
