Start Successfully in Fantasy Premier League with New Rules
- It is recommended to stick with popular players in your team.
- Players receive new opportunities for defensive contributions.
- It is important to plan the use of chips during the season.
A new season of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is approaching, and it is crucial to know how to correctly start the game. The opening of the season is critically important, as a good start can set the tone for the entire season. For example, last season, players who selected Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah in the first week earned significant profits.
Here are a few tips that can help you start successfully:
Stick with Popular Selections
The first rule is not to deviate from the "template" players. These are the ones that many choose, as they have good stats and favorable matches. It is not worth diversifying your selection too much at the beginning of the season with many newcomers.
Focus on Match Fixtures
It is important to consider the fixtures of teams at the start of the season. Some teams may have easy opening matches, which can bring in more points. For example, Tottenham and Everton may have favorable schedules, making their players attractive for selection.
Consider Underpriced Players
Selecting players who are guaranteed to play in the main squad is critically important at the start of the season. The presence of players who regularly play helps mitigate point loss through substitutions.
Select Defenders with New Rules in Mind
This season, new rules have been introduced, along with which defenders can earn additional points for so-called "defensive contributions." If a defender earns 10 points, blocks, or intercepts during the game, they receive two additional points.
Plan the Use of Chips
Players receive two sets of chips that can be used in both halves of the season. It is important to plan when you will use them to maximize your profits.
Analyze Previous Season Matches
Previous season matches can provide valuable information about players' form and their ability to execute standard positions. This can help identify budget players who could become breakout stars of the season.
The first few weeks of the season are not only about the performance but also about establishing a strong foundation for future successes. By focusing on the right selections and strategies, players can uniquely start the season with success.
