Fantasy Premier League – Selection Tips
When selecting players for your FPL team, it’s essential to consider their form, fixtures, and potential for points. Here are some tips for future selections:
1. Form Over Fixtures: While fixtures are important, a player’s form should be the primary consideration. Players in good form are more likely to score points, regardless of the opposition.
2. Captaincy Choices: Choosing the right captain can make a significant difference in your overall points. Players like Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah are reliable captaincy options due to their consistent performances. Remember to change your captain when your usual skipper has a less than favourable match up and another player is likely to score more points.
3. Differential Picks: To gain an edge over your rivals, consider selecting differential picks. These are players with low ownership but high potential for points. For example, Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth has been in excellent form and could be a great differential pick.
4. Monitor Injuries and Suspensions: Always keep an eye on the latest injury and suspension news. This information is crucial for making informed decisions about transfers and team selection.
