FPL 19/20 Chapter 3: FOMO/Hivemind Disease




FPL success is 80% pure, evidence-based factual research and 20 % gut feeling.


- said no one ever.




Player of the week


There is simply no fixed rule to play FPL. Following the mainstream (highest ownership, transferred in/out), might be a safe method. However, successful people generally do what others do not do, like including Pukki in GW2.





Let's review the current Hivemind moves,

Top 5 "transfer in" for upcoming GW3

1) Pukki 693439
2) Ceballos 367994
3) De Bruyne 324272
4) Lundstram 289055
5) Martial

Top 5 " transfer out" for upcoming GW3

1) Alisson 
1170496
2) Bernardo Silva 512673
3) Fraser 390797
4) Salah 283484
5) Zaha 281165



Lundstram is a no. 7, who is a designated 4.0 (now 4.1) million defender who plays in an offensive position for Sheffield Utd. 
Honestly as must-have for any team looking to fill up a 4.0 defender in their team. For now, he is a confirmed starter and probably the best 4.0 mil defender option out there.
Yet to see how Pukki performs this upcoming GW. Probably would bring in more followers if he scores again today.

It can be seen from the Transfer Outs above that the hivemind does not believe in Salah. Salah generally does not perform well against the top 6 (not sure if Arsenal belongs in this category now).

Only two gameweeks have passed. Salah still has much to offer for Liverpool. However, at 12.5 mil, some might believe it is more worth spending their money elsewhere.


Pros and cons to every decision. And remember to make your changes before Friday night ends! (SG time)
