Fantasy Premier League: 5 Tips and tricks to score more points

#2 Do not take a point hit, unless necessary.

There are a lot of great options in the FPL but don't try to get them all in at one time

Yes, we understand that your team needs work at certain times in the season. When that one free transfer available to you is just not enough. When that certain prospect seems so alluring that you decide take a 4 or even an 8 point hit.

Break that practice right now.

The FPL is very competitive and 4 points in one GW means a lot. It could very well make a difference of hundreds of thousands in your ranking. Also if you are regular hit taker, then your overall rank will never be able to reach a respectable position no matter how good the players you are getting into your team.

Strategize your transfer targets in advance. Try going without a transfer once in a while which will give you two free transfer the next gameweek, utilize that to change your team. If you check the transfer history of the overall leaderboard players, you'll notice that the best players in the game never take a point hit.

The risk is viable only when you're somehow assured of a good points return by the incoming player in the next round. If you see yourself getting a 10+ points overhaul even after taking a 4 points cut, then, by all means, go for it. But try and plan transfers such as this in advance so that you could get those players in without taking the points cut.
