XG, lets step back a bit There are some really clever people who like producing predictive models to improve their fpl performance, or they just enjoy the process that entails. Fpl has no rules,  you can play any way you want and its clear a lot of hard work goes into these things, fair play. Equally you can play fpl simply watching games and looking at not one stat, you can even play it not watching any games, remember last year there was a theoretical squad that could have be been picked gw1 and not touched all season, no transfers chips nothing, which would have won FPL. Incredible but true. These things aren't what I've been tweeting about , albeit a little but cheeky at times. My issue is the rather strange conclusions being drawn from some stats, xg in particular. Some posters  go so far as to suggest xg guarantees success and is proven to work and other such bizarre claims,  it doesn't and hasn't, has a value yes, interesting piece of work yes, but guar

Do.... Consider using your wildcard if you started well. It means your team is most likely well set up so you may not need it before it expires on Dec 31st, and momentum is a powerful weapon in FPL ( like sleep is to Jason Bourne , grab it while you can ) Consider going 4 or 5 at the back in GWK2, traditionally a lot less goals are scored in this week Stick to your plan, don't panic but spends are ok this time of year, you can get them back Don't..... Wildcard in every bandwagon,  use the wildcard to set your team up properly and correct obvious mistakes Stay up late intrigued by a video of a certain referee only to stumble on a picture accidentally,  you'll never sleep again Over fixate about prices, let things settle. You certainly don't need to panic about bringing in Kante just yet.
Gwk1 87 I'm toying with a WC tomorrow to dump Aguero Sanchez TAA Jota Shaw King and get Sterling Alli Vardy Davies Jimenez Peltier. After a strong wk1 it seems logical if a tad counterintuitive to wildcard now and press home a strong start. Sterling coming straight back in and Peps comments re his fitness were a bonus. Sterling is same price as Aguero so seems much better value. Alli and Davies looked superb and with no new signings look nailed particularly with rumours Rose may leave. Vardy is best set and forget striker in the game and Maddison looked superb, once fully fit I'm backing Maddison and Vardy to strike up a great partnership. TAA was poor first game but he's a great pick, but I have Allison and want to reduce my Pool players so I can jump quickly on Mane if he continues to bang. Jota I like but I want Alli. So if the 6 changes 3 are better, 2 equal, 1 worse . Thing is I got the big things right, 3 City 3 Liverpool, and as there aren't any
