When does rank really matter in FPL? Every year you see managers panicking after GW1 saying things like “I’m ranked 1M , season over!” But is it actually the case? Looking at the Elite 1000 group’s past seasons, early ranks are all over the place. With the game getting tougher each year (more players, better content, sharper tools), starting ranks have become even more volatile. But if you track the trend, something interesting appears: around GW15 the chaos starts to settle. By then, ranks usually begin to stabilise and the overall trajectory for the season becomes clearer. From the data, being inside the top ~500k by GW15 looks like a solid position to push towards a strong finish. Before that, even a “bad” start isn’t terminal — there’s still plenty of ground to make up.

POV - me doing Thiago -> Ekitike in the GW 18

Solo pint and Panini stickers, fella has smashed it tbh

Byłem w życiu na paru meczach wczesniej i na paru później, ale tego "Gramy u siebie...", juz chyba nigdy, nic nie przebije. Dalej ciary po 20 latach. youtube.com/watch?v=EYFrx1iX…

We built eos.solioanalytics.com (type your #FPL ID and see your season vs model projection for your team, against 13.1M managers or 3.5M active managers who used 6 chips) Some people loved it, but not everyone is happy with it. A short thread on what "luck" actually measures.

negVar again? 😭

Milner retires at 40. He's the ONLY player to appear in every FPL season since its creation in 2002/03.

🏆FPL Review Data Based Champions 25/26 The Season Review dataset has completed it's validation, which means we can confirm this years leaders across a number of data based categories fplreview.com/season-review/

Now the season is over, a couple of bits of analytics you can get from my site! 1) Zombie Team Points - If I stopped playing after GW X, how would I have done? Helpful to see if decisions helped (or not!) 2) Season Review - How many goals, points on the bench. league! #FPL

Bernardo Silva : "The question is Pep, everyone wants to know, who are you talking to here? Guardiola : "No answer." 😂

Finished inside the top 30k. It’s a personal best, and preseason I would have snapped your hand off for it. But honestly? It feels a little disappointing right now. I guess the appetite grows with eating! I’ll skip the boring summary about transfers and chips. Instead, I just want to shout out a few managers who made the journey fun: 🤝 @KustoszFPL - landing on the exact same GW1 team. 🤝 @BigBallzz_Pod - exact same GW6 WC. Great minds! Special mention to two absolute top managers and FPL cartel members, @___Brun___ and @MarkkuOjala_ . I was so lucky to be able to bounce ideas off you and learn from you both this season. 🧠 Finally, a shoutout to my 'FPL' WhatsApp group @fplpoland @mariuszmisiorek @LoneWolfFPL Half the group basically retired from FPL, so instead of fantasy, it’s just us talking about Bruno, football legends, and deep moral/philosophical dilemmas. 🍻🧘‍♂️ Last but not least - @szescdwa are we not playing next season?

The FPL season isn't quite over yet, but here’s my first reflection. I had the pleasure of competing in the negVardy mini-league this year, and what a refreshing experience it was! The heart of it all was the great community in the negVardy thread on the analytics Discord. 🤝 For context, the negVardy ML is made up of 24 managers who experienced massive negative variance to qualify. Basically, you had to have scored at least 75 points less than what the FPL Review model predicted you should have. People naturally think crying "bad luck" is just a cheap excuse, but let’s look at how these 24 "unlucky" managers actually performed this season: 📈 9/24 finished in the top 10k 📈 18/24 finished in the top 100k 📈 22k median overall rank Those are seriously impressive stats. A huge shoutout to all the players involved. Thanks for a fantastic season, and good luck in the future! 👏⚽️

Another season, another negative variance 😅

GW 38 - so much fun!

GW37: Arsenal go full strength = no Gyökeres in the starting XI GW38: Arsenal mass rotate = no Gyökeres in the starting XI 🙃

GW 38 1FT Haaland -> Bowen 2FT Cherki -> Salah (C) Salah OR 33k GL ALL!
