A few notes to myself for FPL season 20/21:
1. Be patient
It's a long season. OR rank can wait a few GWs.
Stop and think before you transfer on a Sat night.
Check eye test and stats before making moves which you can't get out of.

2. Trust your instincts
The best teams and players will come good again. Probably in 1-2 GWs. Don't panic.
If you see something from a player in more than one game. Why not give it a go? Especially if the stars match.
Don't get swayed by the madding crowd. Be yourself.

3. Find the value ASAP
The golden nuggets need to be jumped on early to build team value for WC2.
Remember that prices are fallible. Some 5m mids outperform 7m or 8m mids.
KDB at 13m might still be value! Don't be put off by price. High or low!

4. Wildcards
WC1 - Flexible. Prepared to go early but prefer to hold.
WC2 - Earlier has worked in the past but check @BenCrellin and DGWs to see if a strategy works for later.

5. Chip Policy
BB - Aim for DGW
3x Cap - Flexible but targeting weak teams is differential.
FH - worked last year to navigate a tricky fixture week but preferable for a bigger BGW.

6. Navigating GW1-5
I want one of Bruno/Martial. I want KDB and I want Salah. KDB will come in GW2. I have room to play with to get KDB in for either Kane or Auba. Others can wait if necessary.
Early WC an option but ideally watch a few games to decide.
Ryan GW5.

7. No Mo no problem!
Some of the best players never owned Trent and still succeded last year. Same for Salah. Same for KDB. 1 player is not going to decide your season. No player is ESSENTIAL!
That said, make sure the money you've spent elsewhere can make up those points!

8. It's just a game!
When the fun stops, close the webpage and hug your kids.
If you want some fun, take that hit. Within reason.
The odd early transfer to beat the price change is fine sometimes!!

9. Bias avoidance
3x Arsenal is not necessarily a good thing!
Spurs players might need to be bought
Players that have burnt you can be useful again
Injury prone player avoidance is silly. Take the hit when they get injured. Make hay while the sun shines. Or Son.

10. Mini leagues and OR
OR is your main aim. Top 50k is the minimum aim. Top 20k would be silver standard and Top 10k gold.
Mini leagues should take care of themselves. Don't start mirroring opponent teams or worrying about position too early.
