With the madness of Gameweek 8 behind us, we speak to one of the only Elite XI managers who is playing their Wildcard in Gameweek 9. Following the fixture postponements, 9 of our Elite XI managers hit the Wildcard button but Daniel Boije did not, waiting instead until after the Gameweek deadline had passed.
As a former professional poker player, Daniel describes himself as stats-oriented and very disciplined when it comes to FPL. Analysis of underlying statistics – particularly Expected Goals (xG) and Expected Assists (xA) – forms a big part of his playing style.
Patience and discipline are important factors. I value transfers a lot. I rarely make any rushed decisions. My transfers are usually done just before the deadline so that I can get the maximum amount of information before making a decision.
Daniel started playing FPL in the 2013/14 season, where he finished just outside the Top 100k; a very respectable finish for a maiden season. Since then, he has erupted onto the FPL scene, with 1 x Top 1k finish, 3 x Top 5k finishes and 5 x Top 10k finishes; in fact, his only season finishing outside the Top 100k was his first.
Asked about chips generally, Daniel said:
Wildcards are my favourite chips. I would prefer the old version [of FPL] with no other chips. I think the chips bring more variance to the game. Bench Boost is my least favourite chip since I never really had any success with it. I like to wildcard quite early to get into the template players and start building value as soon as possible.
