We’re in the midst of another rollercoaster of a season, and as we cruise through the early stages of the 2023/24 Fantasy Premier League, it’s time to think about maybe switching things up a bit with your team. Some familiar faces have started to come to the fore and some not so familiar names are making their presence felt. Lets take a dive into whats been happening so far….
Tottenham’s Wild Ride
Tottenham Hotspur is not the same old Spurs you’ve known. Under Ange Postecoglou, they’ve had a makeover. Vicario in goal has turned into a dependable wall, and we’re not talking about points here, but the fact that Spurs have tightened up at the back. Cristian Romero and Son’s consistent appearances in FPL teams are as reliable as your dog fetching the newspaper in the morning.
New Kids on the FPL Block
New faces in FPL are like discovering a hidden gem in a thrift shop. Joachim Andersen, anyone? He’s joined the Palace party and brought some defensive flair and a pinch of FPL goodness with him. Meanwhile, Jensen from Brentford is like that under-the-radar indie band that’s suddenly riding high in the charts – consistent and definitely worth a listen, or in this case, a place in your FPL squad with his low price.
Goal Machines
You can’t have a conversation about this season without mentioning the Egyptian King, Liverpool’s Mo Salah. His point-scoring ability is as reliable as the sun rising in the east. Alexander Isak is also showing some sparks and is looking like a sure thing. It’s worth mentioning Jared Bowen and Ollie Watkins also who seem to have left FPL managers running out of superlatives in recent weeks.
Strategies to Conquer FPL
If you’re an FPL manager, you must be the chess grandmaster of your league. With European competitions now a regular feature, juggling your team is like trying to balance a plate of spaghetti on your nose. Take a cue from Sven Botman and watch out for surprise packages like Newcastle, who might serve you some selection puzzles with their rotation policy. And for the daredevils, Raheem Sterling is seemingly now dancing to a different tune, offering that captaincy differential and possibly worth a gamble when playing against lower class opposition.
Bold Predictions From Chaps – The Fun Part
Now, for the fun stuff, here are some predictions to spice up your FPL life:
Tottenham is like a hot pepper in your FPL soup. They’re expected to keep their sizzle with tasty fixtures ahead.
Sheffield United is looking more like a block of Swiss cheese at the back, and that means opportunities for attacking FPL managers. Try and ensure your forward line are facing them when you can.
Erling Haaland is like a blockbuster movie franchise – he’s had a poor run of form of late but write him off at your peril! Expect sequels and sequels of goals in the coming gameweeks.
Wildcards are like candy on Halloween. Around gameweeks 9 and 10 could be the sweet spot to unleash yours – just remember to take your time with it and research your up coming fixtures.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re a seasoned manager or a rookie, hopefully some of these tips can give you a badly needed boost or help you cement your position at the top. The FPL always throws up surprises so try to think outside the box and don’t stick with players that are bringing nada to the table (Cue Marcus Rashford “Hello, is it me you’re looking for?”) Our Chaps & Co League is hotting up nicely and it’s looking like its going to be a dogfight at the top and possibly a long season for those near the foot of the table, but it’s all for fun right?
