My FPL 2019/20: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.
Part 1: 'The Bad'
For this first thread I'm looking at my consistent mistakes and general problems this season, and how I can improve.
I'm sure these issues are familiar so I hope this helps some managers out there.

Part 1: 'The Bad'
For this first thread I'm looking at my consistent mistakes and general problems this season, and how I can improve.
I'm sure these issues are familiar so I hope this helps some managers out there.
1) Forgetting the Deadline
Seems obvious but over the season I missed at least 4 or 5 deadlines (and lost who knows how many points) due to forgetfulness or poor time management. If like me you've got a memory like a sieve it's worth setting a reminder.

2) Transferring Out Premiums
Seeing that KDB wasn't returning despite playing ok, I transferred him out only to miss out on a 19 point haul.
A general point I've found is that you'll likely miss out on good scores if you get rid of highly owned players with any kind of form.

3) Poor Captaincy Choices
This is a big issue for most of us FPL managers but runs of wrong choices at the start of the season and on the restart definitely hurt my rank.
I'll probably do a separate analysis of my captains this season sometime soon.

4) Knee Jerk Reactions
In GW 10 I got in Jiminez and when he blanked I got rid in GW 11. He then went on a run of only 1 blank in 9.
Taking the time to analyse whether certain players are over or underperforming before making a decision would have saved me points and transfers.

5) Beware the One Week Wonders
Following on from the previous point, I made the mistake by being wowed by over-performing players (eg: Nketiah, Saka, Traore, Sidibe) and getting them in only for them to provide inconsistent returns and consecutive blanks. Better to avoid.

That's all folks for Part 1, more to come very soon. Thanks for reading!
