2) Bet on the big teams
As last season showed, Liverpool and Manchester City are head and shoulders above the rest of the teams in the league.
They are fixture proof and can be relied upon consistently to deliver FPL points as they cannot afford even the slightest slip-up in the title race.
As much as possible, try to build your team core around these players, at least four or five in your team at all times. Both the teams kept over 20 clean sheets each last season so don’t ignore their defence in order to load up on their attackers.
You may see attackers, especially from Man City get rotated from time to time but show faith in them. Their explosive potential means that they are likely to score more in one fixture than a subpar asset over two fixtures.
Similarly, Leicester, Everton, and Wolves have shown that they are clearly the best teams after the ‘top six’ and their assets should be favoured over teams such as Brighton who are likely to be in a relegation scrap.
