Season Review

Sitting just outside of the Top 200k, with roughly one third of the season gone, Corey is in a reasonable position to push on for his usual Top 10k target. With a decent score of 59 points in Gameweek 13, Corey reflects on the season so far, which, despite his good start, has been one riddled with frustration.

I have never seen a template so strong in my FPL history. As a result, it is very difficult to make gains, as a good portion of players are shared across teams. For example, currently I own four players that are at 48% or more ownership. That’s insane. Further, with Haaland having established himself as essentially near perma-captain you are down to essentially playing 10 players. That makes moving up much more difficult. Maybe unsurprisingly, I have been within 201k-260k since Gameweek 6. I just can’t seem to make headway.

Despite these frustrations (check ownership stats using our Insight Live tool), Corey is optimistic about the future. As an experienced FPL manager, Corey knows that the second half of the season – with its blank and double Gameweeks – is where highly engaged managers differentiate themselves from the rest.
