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

#5 Spread out your squad

It is tempting to fill your squad with a single team's players

The maximum numbers of players you can get from one team are 3 as per the FPL rules. This, however, does not mean that you have to get three players from the same team in your squad. It is a well-known practice of the top FPL players to restrict their squad to two players from one side.

Many FPL managers pick players from their favourite club or the ones in form. As a result their squad becomes way too reliant on a couple of teams.

This is not a good practice even if that team is performing well. For regular returns week in week out, player shuffling is necessary. It would be very rare if those three players continue to get points week after week.

The problem arises when that team fails to perform in a particular match day. Then you have at least three non-performing players in your team for that gameweek. It could take a lot of time to catch up to a bad GW.

Teams like Manchester City though, have bagged points game after game in recent times, which has led to many FPL players relying too much on their players, while also at times to good effect. If you feel it is necessary to utilize this strategy then spread out the rest of your squad and rotate that third city player from time to time in order to avoid the danger of a bad GW.

The English Premier League has a lot of high performing teams and high scoring options in the game, fortunately, are aplenty. Utilizing the options that all those teams provide rather than relying on the exploits of just one or two of them is a better strategy. It will definitely serve you well in the long run.
