INCREASING THE PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS IN THE OPENING GAMEWEEKS

With the fixtures due to be released on Thursday (13th) what should FPL managers be looking for?
Let me ask this opening question, how many times in the last few seasons have you started poorly and immediately rushed to use your ‘wildcard’?
For many managers, a poor start can lead to panic, bad decision making or a complete loss of interest all together.
Use of the “Fixture Difficulty Rankings” provided by FPL is a must. Clubs with alleged “easier games” need to be targeted, and players selected based on clean sheet, assists or goal scoring potential.
If this type of planning can be done for the first 6-8 Gameweeks, with a few carefully planned transfers along the way based on form, change in fixtures etc… you will be well on your way for a successful season.
That isn’t to say you will always select the right player, but at least you’re giving yourself a chance….
