FPL TEAM SELECTION BREAKDOWN BASED ON PRICES AND POPULARITY

Image
Fantasy Premier League is back, yeahhh!!! Oh, wait, I’m more than 8 days late but I’m sure you haven’t fixed your teams. Those many drafts keep you frustrated as they are either lacking the coverage you need or the big players you want. I’m not here to ease your stress, at least not yet. I just want to take a first look at the players on offer and look at the popular options in each price bracket. GOALKEEPERS There are 4 prices of goal keepers in the game. This makes the position the easiest to pick in this article. The 4 prices are divided into Premiums (5.0, 5.5) and Budget (4.0, 4.5). There are strategies that support use of each category of goalies but like I said, I’ll be picking the most popular (highest by team selected by) which gives us David De Gea (5.5)-26.1% and Ben Foster(4.5)-20.6%. Both start the season with nice fixtures and although it may not be the best double pick considering cost, they are the two most selected goalies.

Fast forward 4 weeks and with Bony injured, and Aguero back, many people were ready to rip their squads up to accommodate by far the most expensive and explosive player in FPL. I hesitated, for many reasons

TOP 10 DRIBBLERS FROM FIFA 16

EA Sports have released a list of the top 10 FIFA 16 dribblers with just two Premier League players named in the list. The obvious one is Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, who has also taken his place as the best player in the league in the new game. The second one may surprise you, it certainly took us by surprise. Elsewhere the top FIFA 16 dribblers comprises of some of the best players in the world right now. The player at the top is not difficult to guess but like the second Premier League player there were a few shocks in the top 10. FIFA 16 Wonderkids – Players you need for Career Mode It’s also perhaps more interesting to look at the players who are not included in this list. Alexis Sanchez, Luis Suarez and Yacine Brahimi are all left out of the FIFA 16 Dribblers list. When you look at the top ten some of the exclusions don’t really make much sense. Nevertheless this list is worth checking out, particularly with new skill moves in the game this year, here’s the top 10 FIFA 1...
