If there's one video you'll want to watch in pre-season this is the one!
Totally agree dude. You mix the content well and thanks for the informative uploads. Good luck for the season ahead
@@pauloconnor4511 Thanks Paul
This one took ages so hit like if you enjoyed it! 👊
FPL is the best fantasy football comp by a mile and so addictive. I didn't realise there were 11 million players last season amazing.
Appreciate the time and care that goes into the editing and creation of these videos. Thanks as always Oscar!
Thanks Sami 👊
If anyone wants this in a readable format here you go 📖
1. Avoid bandwagons
This one especially applicable at the start of the season when transfer activity is high. At the start of last season Dasilva scored 2 goals in the first 2 games, from extremely low xG. Unsurprisingly he wasn't able to maintain the huge overperformance and his next goal wasn't for another 16 gameweeks. Underlying numbers and eye test are a good way to assess if they're a bandwagon or not.
2. Don't let fear rule transfer decisions - we can't have them all
It can be a desperate feeling when your players are letting you down, while seemingly those you don't own are smashing it. Point number 3 ties into this one too. Don't rip your team balance up to try and squeeze in all the big players, and don't hop from premium to premium based on last week's results.
3. Number 3 follows nicely from 2, have a core group of players and trust them long term. We've all got a 15 man squad, but in reality the pool of players that could be transferred is much fewer. Looking at your team this way might make it feel less daunting too.
4. Don't rotate goalkeepers. This one of course can have success, but there's a reason why many goalkeepers from smaller teams do so well, they rack up save points. Spending 4.5m or more on both keepers is a waste of money, get a 4.5m and their 4m backup. Or better yet, if there's a 4m keeper who will play then get them and only in that case consider rotating.
5. Plan ahead. This one is so important. Many managers wing it week to week, and that's fine if that's how you want to play, but to hit the highest ranks and win your mini-leagues you need to plan transfers and captaincy in advance. There's great free tools like PlanFPL.com and FPL.team that let you plan your transfers for future weeks. Captaincy is one of the most important aspects of the game, so make sure you have a good one lined up every gameweek.
6. Play without emotion. This game can be tilting at the best of times. What happens on the pitch is out of your control, and lack of control can be frustrating not just in FPL but in general. If you've had a frustrating gameweek don't make a rage transfer Sunday night. And on a tangent never make a drunk transfer
7. Don't wildcard unless it's essential. You only get two wildcards, it's the most powerful chip in the game. Weigh up whether there's any way you can avoid it, even if it requires a hit or two. If you'd only change a few players in your starting 11 then it's a waste. It's such a powerful chip that you really want to maximise its utility, and in the second half of the season use it in preparation for double and blank gameweeks.
8. Roll a transfer when you can, having 2FT is huge advantage. Just because you have a transfer it doesn't mean use it. The added flexbility having two banked is massive. Imagine a premium striker gets injured and the best replacement is a premium midfielder, that's two transfers to get there.
9. Strongly review your bench every week. This one is so easily overlooked, your bench is important, every week it needs to be in the right order. You never know when someone comes off your bench, you'll kick yourself if second or third is stuck to your bench with the most points and you get a 1 pointer on from your first sub.
If this video has been helpful so far hit subscribe to support the channel, more tips to come.
10. Be open to new tactics. It's easy to get comfortable in a way of playing, but the FPL landscape is constantly evolving. Perhaps you free hit in a blank gameweek for 3 seasons in a row, but this season a double gameweek could be the optimal time to use it. One week punts are generally frowned on, but hopping on to a premium with a double gameweek has become more popular, and something that many have had success with in recent years.
11. Put biases aside. Whether it's owning players from rival teams or even captaining players against your team. Put biases to one side when playing FPL. If you truly believe the best captain is the one playing the team you support then take the points and move on. Honourable mention to Ben Crabtree though, die-hard Everton fan who did manage to win FPL in 16/17 without owning a Liverpool player all season. Though this would be impossible nowadays given Liverpool's improvement since.
12. Hits don't pay off most of the time. It's a big gamble, and most of the time a completely unnecessary one. Assess whether those 4 points will be repaid. A hit really should be for a player that not only represents a massive upgrade in a specific Gameweek, but it also has to be someone you want for the medium/long term.
13. Have a plan and stick to it. Be patient. We talked earlier about how important planning is. Don't abandon your plan if it's a solid one. Having a plan and then abandoning it can leave you even worse off.
14. Mid-week fixtures often don't affect weekend minutes. This one can require some assessment player by player, but as a reminder footballers are world class elite athletes, they're fully capable of playing on Wednesday and then again on Saturday. You'll often hear that someone played 90 midweek so they'll be benched on the weekend. Some assessment based on what type of fixture is important too, if there's an easy premier league fixture sandwiched between two Champions League semi-finals then the chances of a rest could be higher. Be very careful with this one, you'll find more often than not it doesn't happen.
15. Manage your risks. You're playing against many many millions of managers every week, so manage the risk you want to outlay each week. A high effective ownership player can cause you a lot of damage. We've seen Haaland hit record ownership levels 85%+, so if captained that's potentially 170% effective ownership. Not owning that player means the field score 170% of their points against you. Pick your battles.
16. Consume FPL content. This one didn't come from me either I swear. This was Dan Bennett's tip when we spoke last season, he boasts 10 Top 10K finishes. You can consume content and choose not to follow what you're hearing, but soaking is up for your own assessment is a good thing. No-one is right 100% of the time, which goes without saying. There's always angles you may not have considered which is when content can be a great tool at your disposal.
17. Make your transfers as late as possible. A lot can change over the course of a week, particularly when there's midweek football on. Players you own can get injured. It's common sense really but the later you make a transfer then the maximum amount of information you have available to you at the time of the transfer, and therefore you're more informed. It can be tempting to move early when a price change is coming, in many cirumstances riding out the 0.1m loss is worth it. As a side note, if you go to pl.ecal.com you can sync all deadlines to your calendar.
18. Fixtures are king. Look to bring in players who have good fixtures on the horizon, and when they play for good teams then even better. Fixtures nearly always create form.
19. Don't pay attention to points. It sounds counterintuitive but the stats that really matter are underlying ones like xG and it's variants. Go for the player who has blanked in 3 gameweeks but with brilliant xG over a player who's jammed some goals but has poor underlying stats. It evens itself out over the medium term usually.
20. Know your set piece takers. A player who is on free kicks and corners will inflate their chances of a return every week, and even more so penalty takers. There's approximately a 21% chance of a penalty being awarded in a match, so just over a 1 in 5 chance. That's a 1 in 5 chance of getting points for a goal scored, plus potential bonus.
21. As a bonus tip, which also came from Dan Bennett. Take care of yourself. It's awesome to have a hobby you're passionate about, and being so emotionally invested it can take its toll on you. At the end of the day it's just a game. Reach out if needed, switch off after the deadline if you're too invested. Avoid constantly checking your live rank in the middle of games, you'll burn yourself out. Take care of your mental health.
Thanks for reading!

@@ikennaohakah Thanks!
Going into my 3rd season, i have become a better manger because of your content, my first season i took advice from experienced people, and plus your content, i make less mistakes, plan better and dont let emotion take over. Thank you Oscar.
I have won my mini leagues the past two seasons.
Love your content, and my favourite series is the expert's teams.
Thanks for the kind words and glad to have made such an impact 🤝
@@FPLFocal You're Welcome, keep pushing bro.
Finished 8k OR in my first FPL season last year but I still have so much to learn. As a newbie I want to prove myself that last season wasn't just a fluke and try to finish top 10k again.
That's a crazy rank for a first season 👏
going into my fourth season, and looking to try and break 100k this season - almost did it this season but hits were my downfall as always!! still the undefeated draft mode champ though!! great video as always
yet another great video, keep it up!
Great vid GL for pre season picks
Great stuff to be reminded about going into the new season.
Love the content and tips specially last one. 👌
Thanks for the content
Nice video man! Found that really useful
Thank you a bunch for this really insightful video, the moment I watched one of your vids last season, I had a good feeling that you'd be highly instrumental in improving my FPL mngnt. and you're living up to those expectations. Big up the content & I'm looking forward to becoming a member soon enough.
Thanks Chris :) appreciate the support and kind words
Great job Oscar.. keep it up 👍🏿
great video as usual!!!!
Love the bonus tip, so important
Im going into my 3rd season and these tips has really made more patient and less stressed
🐐ted content as always❤🙌
As soon as i hear « welcome back for another video »… man
thanks for not letting us down yet another season round
Great tips and advice, love your videos, short and sweet, packed full of information. Thanks for all your efforts and keep up the great work ! 🧔🏻👍🏻⚽️💜💙
Thanks Mike :)
Great tips. Thanks Oscar 👍
What I love about your videos are - they are short and sharp but they do include all the relevant information! Thanks for all the hard work!
Thanks mate :)
The last fact is actually class. FPL is a pain in the neck you feel defeated if you have a bad Gameweek. It’s not the end of the world because it’s a luck based game and everyone has a chance. Your not the only one who has lost a gameweek or is moving down the charts.
my biggest fpl mistake i always make is playing with my heart lol. using/captain players from the team i support and dont always back rival teams that play my team
You are my favorite fpl content creator because u bring more useful vids thanks man👏👏
Thanks 🤝
All great advice, especially the bonus one at the end.....
Great video Oscar! Nice preseason content.
Thanks Carl
This is the tips of all time especially the last one. Takecare you too brother 🙏
🤝
Amazing video, even for sb who's 5 seasons into FPL, this covers all the potential temptations that impact your game negatively and which you've promised yourself to never ever repeat, but you know how it goes...
Yeah it should be useful for anyone, even if only as a refresher vid for more experienced players. Actually found this very useful editing it even haha
Good tips. Second season for me, and hopefully I won't make same mistakes, and I'm aiming higher! Congrats on 140k btw. Keep it up.
Thanks mate, think we hit 140K last night! Closing in on the 150K goal before GW1 👀
@@FPLFocal People are kinda inactive atm. Many will come as soon as the game starts.
That last one is really important to me. Taking time away from FPL is refreshing, which is why I'm only consuming short FPL videos before the season starts (mostly this channel). Done obsession is unhealthy imo.
Well said 🤝
Great content Oscar...I remember them interviews...Some of the best content i've seen on fpl...
Those were the days. Ran out of top managers to invite on haha, but a lot of good tips to squeeze out to make this video
Great to see you smashing it ace as well as others like Raptor....All the best Oscar have a good season
@@pmacca4830 Ross is a legend, and Harry. We talk daily
That bonus tip really is important. Thanks for including that in there.
Perhaps the most important!
Big thanks for this one Oscar. 150k well deserved subscribers just around the corner. What a champ 🏆
Thanks Ash 👊
Hi please may you tell me how I can improve my squad and whether you thinks it’s good?
GK- Pickford
Defenders - TAA, Estupinian, Gabriel
Midfielders- Enciso, Fernandes, Mitoma, Saka ( did have foden in for enciso but changed him)
Attackers-Haaland, Jesus, Nkunku
Bench- Areola, Mbeumo (benched as Tottenham Home isn’t a great fixture for GW1) Henry, Bell
It's not just a game. There's huge money involved in some leagues. In our local league the highest price if converted to US dollars is 5000 dollars plus a scooter, and other electronics. The entry fee is 10 dollars. There is also gameweek betting, so you have to create 2 teams. 1 for season comp and the other gameweek comp.
You're the best ♥️
Great video and tips. Correction on one number: if there's a 21% chance of a penalty in any game, that's for either team, right? So you'd have to own both players to capture the full 21% chance. If you owned one penalty taker on the pitch, on average, that'd be 10.5% chance of a penalty for that player, which lines up with the averages. Would fluctuate slightly with the more attacking team more likely to get that penalty, of course, but on average.
Yeah I didn't make that point very clearly, 21% overall in a match, not for a taker to get one from one team
@@FPLFocal no worries. I keep watching your stuff cos it's concise and very clear overall. Great effort!
Great tips
Bro, I have been watching your videos, you probably dont remember me but we played Rocket League together, much love man and i wish you gl in the future.
Thanks mate. I’ll have to get an RL lobby going again next international break, I still play
the last bonus tip is really the most important I think. It is needed one in in almost everything we do…thanks
Yeah, glad I added that one in!
Last tip is important
self care is so important too
This was absolutely brilliant, loved it....only problem is that all the other managers are watching it too😂
Haha thanks. Well just a portion of my subscribers anyway, there’s a good 11 million or so managers!
Great video, my first season playing fpl. how do I change the order of my bench using the app, I can't see a way of doing.
Thanks, I think you just tap on the player and then swap position
Love this video it's very helpful I think even if you not a new manager these are some tips you need to hear before going into a new season especially if you made some these mistakes last season Thanks For Your Work On Every Video
100%, I found this so helpful while editing as a refresher. Good for any manager.
Best pre season fpl video🔥
Thanks 👊
Will it be worth the risk to bring in both Haaland and Kane, then adjust my team accordingly?
You forgot to mention one of the most popular and worst traps in FPL, which is the Double Gameweek (DGW). We often tend to overthink it and select as many players as possible from teams with a DGW, but this strategy most often backfires.
Bonus tip 🙌
Such u legend Oscar is to us FPL managers🥺
Biases and emotions are my greatest undoing while playing the game😂. Great tips though will try to apply a few and see how it goes
Don't get biased against your own biases and think you're not biased! 😛
I enjoy having a bias in my team - I'm a Norwich fan and as painful as it is I always have at least 1 player when we are in the prem as they're cheap and remember it is the player you are picking and not the team they play for. E.G Norwich lost most games but players like Pukki, Buendia, Cantrell scored well still
Couldn’t quite hear the link you mentioned properly, the one about adding the deadlines to calendar. Please could someone link it here?

@@FPLFocalthanks!
Can bench players get points if they're on the bench??
Hi mate, can you tweet the list on twitter or on discord with pdf format?
It's in the comments in full, I'll probably also convert it to an article on FFScout
Need an FPL hotline for addictions
Hey Oscar I am looking to look for a GK who is a differential pick to take advantage of everyone picking Pickford. Who do you suggest for me to use?
Flekken
@FPLFocal Was thinking of him but I want to make sure that Raya is out of Brentford before I invest in him.
@@nevenpatrk9661 Leno is also 4.5 and is a good shout
@georgef6463 I currently have him as a placeholder but I intend to choose Flekken is Raya moves.
I currently have Steele & Macey to be different from the limited gk combos I’m seeing. My strategy may change with more preseason info 🧐
Thank you Oscar.
Oscar on 🔥 🙌🏽
👊
Tip #22 keep the tried and tested background music and don't feel tempted to switch it up to a new one just for the sake of it
Haha good tip, the music won't be changing don't worry
#14 with Haaland in the background who’s $14 😏
Btw good video idea is maybe to create a draft without haaland and see what that looks like. Maybe Kane and TAA/Salah
Im going for haaland and kane up top. wish me luck
Silly question, but how many transfers can you bank?
2 max
Nice tips but for the penalty stat I’m assuming that’s 20% for there just to be a penalty in the game? So really odds would be 1 in 10 as it could go to either team
Good catch! Though the point still applies about pen takers in general
Should I choose ake or Akanji
Ake more nailed imo
I like the last tip. Take care of your mental health
No point buying Gunz's book now
😂
Plenty drunk transfers. Plenty more this season an all😂
Good shout on the mental health, if you're in a bad place talk to someone, if all else fails...RAGE TRANSFER!!! (Jokes)
😊👍👊💪🍻
😊👍👊💪🍻
First
To your last point - my team last season was "It's Awoniyi a game", so I'm definitely with you there.
🤝
No never bet against Harry tip 0/10
Go with your gutts. EOD that earns points.
