In the next few days, I will put up some top picks, but today here are some top tips on how to play fantasy football.
General Rules
- Follow the Form - If a striker gets his confidence back, he may suddenly go on a scoring run, e.g. Glenn Murray scored 5 goals in 6 games at the start of 2015.
- Follow the fixtures - Gone are the days when every team plays one game a week for 38 weeks. Postponements, European fixtures, Cup matches, all mean there will be times this season when a club plays in the league more than once in a week or not at all. Check the fixtures and bring in players who are playing more in that week.
- Also check who teams are playing, some of the top teams get a run against lower sides, and it's worth having those players in for those times. For instance last season Southampton were keeping clean sheets, but had a spell against the top 4 sides, that involved conceding several goals when they played their title rivals.
- Follow the fitness - Have a quick check of BBC Sport the day before the games to see who is injured and how long for. Also, players who are out for 6 weeks or longer, usually take time to adjust to playing again, so are worth transferring out, don't expect them to pick up where they left off.
- Follow the transfers - The season maybe starting but that doesn't mean all the transfer business is done, key players are still being signed. I expect Man United to bring at least one more defender and a striker.
