I’ve played fantasy.premierleague.com for the last three or so years, and last year I think I finally ‘got’ it! I finished well inside the top 5k (out of over 1mil I think) which I like to think is a good achievement, and I hope to repeat it again this year! My basic theory is to keep well on top of people looking at the start of good form, looking at fixtures and making use of the one weekly transfer without using more (and losing points).
I’ve had a slow-ish start to the season as players I started with didn’t deliver (Downing, Bentley, Shorey), but things are slowly falling into place and I’m starting to look better! The current dilemma is whether to bring in Ronaldo – of which the answer is “of course”, but how to finance it! I’ll update in a few weeks and let you know how I’ve done it!
