Top 5 Tips for Beginners in Fantasy Premier League
New to Fantasy Premier League (FPL)? Getting started can be overwhelming, but with these
five tips, you'll be on your way to a successful season:
-
Pick a Balanced Squad
When building your team, it’s important to spread your budget across all positions
rather than spending too much on a few star players. A balanced squad will give you
consistent points across the board. Invest in a mix of high-performing and
budget-friendly players to ensure you have a strong team throughout the season.
-
Monitor Player Form
Look beyond the big names and focus on players who are currently in form. Players
who have been performing well in recent matches are more likely to continue their
good form. Regularly check player stats and recent performances to make informed
decisions.
-
Use Your Wildcard Wisely
The Wildcard is a powerful tool that allows you to make unlimited transfers in a single
gameweek. Save it for when you really need to overhaul your team, such as after a
transfer window or during a period of fixture congestion. Using it strategically can
give you a significant advantage.
-
Keep an Eye on Injuries
Injuries can derail your fantasy team if you're not careful. Make it a habit to check
injury updates before making your final squad decisions. Ensure your team is filled
with players who are fit and likely to start, and have substitutes ready for any
unexpected injuries.
-
Don’t Rush Transfers
Transfers can be tempting, especially if a player has a standout performance.
However, it’s wise to wait until closer to the gameweek deadline to make transfers.
This allows you to avoid making changes based on temporary form and ensures
you’re not caught out by midweek injuries or player rotations.
