Climbing mini-leagues

The #FPL panel offer advice for managers who are trailing...

THREAD ⇣

𝗨𝘁𝗸𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗵 ( @zophar666): It's too early to start thinking about differentials, but players returning from injury like Sergio Aguero could initially be overlooked and therefore hugely impactful as a captain pick

#FPL

𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗰𝗸 ( @ChuckBoothSport): The best way to climb is to stay the course. Don't chase every bandwagon. Trust your gut with your big decisions. Also, captain Mohamed Salah

#FPL

𝗦𝗮𝗺 ( @FPLFamily): Fixtures are normally pivotal in relation to FPL planning but, after some surprising results so far, following form seems to be the way to climb your mini-league. Don't be afraid of picking a player with a hard fixture on paper

#FPL

𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗹 ( @Lateriser12): Treat the first four Gameweeks as an anomaly. Keep looking at the highlights and the statistics, and have faith in the process, not the results. We've only just begun!

#FPL

𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗳𝗳 ( @GeoffreyDance): The best advice, particularly early in the season, is that there is no need to pick differentials just to be different. With a few good captaincy picks and solid overall play, you will steadily climb your mini-league

#FPL

𝗡𝗲𝗮𝗹 ( @nealjthurman): Lean into the early-season trends that have staying power. Many will count on players like DCL or Bowen "coming back to earth"

Going all-in when your opponents are approaching lesser-known names more cautiously gives you a chance to make up ground

#FPL

𝗕𝗲𝗻 ( @drbenmcnair): Keep a cool head, stick to your principles and avoid reacting too much to recent Gameweeks. Hold on to your free transfers until late in the Gameweek, in case any of your squad pick up injuries

#FPL

𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 ( @FPLPaulGee): Stick to your game plan. Have a well-organised team with a good price structure, and a playing bench to account for any absences

#FPL

𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗹𝘆 ( @FFCommunity_): Staying engaged will be the best way of climbing mini-leagues. Points and rankings are tightly clustered right now, so following trends will be important
