Choose a player in a dangerous few minutes
It has been proven again and again that players who play in the most minutes outweigh players who play less.
Of course, this is a blanket statement, and you won’t get points just by picking a player that’s nailed out from a bad team.
However, it is not possible to earn points when the player is not on the pitch.
Players who don’t get a good minute can inevitably be inevitable if they are stopped or injured, but in general, they can guarantee that they will choose a safe player.
Again, I’m not saying you should choose a full team of boring players to ensure you get good time from FPL teams.
But don’t fill your team with players who don’t get reliable minutes.
Earlier in the season, the main perpetrators of this are players who recently moved to the club at the transfer window this summer.
It’s not always known how they fit into the new team, and whether they’ll be eased rather than playing 90 minutes per game from the start.
So it’s probably best to choose just two or three of these on your team at the beginning of the season.
Choosing a team without a bench
We all want to maximize Start 11 because it’s so important to have a bench, even though we’re the only player who can score our points every week.
One or two bench options save you that you don’t need to use more transfers than you need.
For example, if any of the start 11s are stopped or injured, if there are viable options on the bench, you don’t need to replace them immediately (or no).
Of course, you don’t want to spend much on your bench and you don’t need a full bench of good players.
However, I would recommend having two good options that could become a £4.5 million defender and a £5.5 million midfielder this season.
See Game Week 1 only
We all want to start well in the mini league and get a head start, but we need to make sure we don’t just watch the first game week when we choose a team.
Ideally, you want to look at the first five or six Gameweeks and choose a player who has excellent equipment for that period.
This will allow you to save some of the relocations for the next few weeks.
I don’t want to reach GameWeek 3 or 4, so all the players have bad equipment and want to make lots of changes to the team.
If you want to win the FPL Mini League, avoid these three mistakes.
