Like any sound investment strategy, asset mobility and diversity is key. It’s not just attackers that score points, the scoring system in FPL with six points for a goal for defenders means that defenders are an often ignored source of huge point hauls.

Don’t fill your team up with multiple assets over 10m as this will cause an imbalance to the rest of your team. Spread the cash around, and structure your team so that you can chop and change your premium assets in a single transfer.

For example, having at least one defender at the highest price of 7m will allow you to transfer him out for any other form defender in the game in one single transfer. Similarly, having players across different price points in your midfield, such as 12.5m, 9.5m, 8m, 6.5m, etc allows you to change these assets for the form ones with just one move.

If you load up with 5m midfielders like Jorginho, Mark Noble, etc then the options available to ship them out for in a single transfer are very limited and you will likely need to take a point hit. The same applies to a 5.0 forward such as Andone - there is simply no easy exit route if the asset fails to deliver.
