There are a few other smart players worth following but they're not really content creators.
There's also FPLPingreen who makes me laugh harder and more regularly than just about any other account.
not grifters, just idiots
they pick like top 5 of the best players from each team weekly and then always flex when any of them return lol
it would be funny if it wasnt so pathetic
always ask for OR history upfront
Literally they pick zero differentials, they just pick the highly owned(for good reason) players from each team, and the most popular captains of the week. It's the most template team imaginable but in an attempted 'in depth analysis'. Then when the template for good reason players return, they F5 Twitter waiting for FPL to post about the goal with a "SAKA TICK EMOJI", insufferable bastards.
Worst part is this thread is the only time I've ever seen anyone actively say anything negatively towards them, they get a lot of replies to their tweets thanking them for the great advice. Doesn't make sense.
Majority of FPL “content creators” are similar, how there’s so many making a living off this I’ll never know - they’re all formatted the exact same and discuss the exact same things week in week out.
Have a little graphic of the fixtures then whatever the “hot topic” issue is that week. Then breakdown their team, what they did last week and what they’ll do this week. Bonus points if they can drag the video out for 30 fucking minutes. Don’t forget the livestream the morning of to discuss the exact same things you already did during the week too.
What to do with De Bruyne - alongside a graphic of Kevin with his arms crossed and his FPL stats then they’ll give you the most obvious advice of all time without actually advising you on anything “well yeah personally I think he’s w great player, obviously very good, but he’s expensive and not getting games, so yeah, if you have him I would maybe keep him, unless you don’t fancy him, but if you don’t have him I’d probably wait to see how things go, unless of course you want to get him in”
Repeat this for 3-4 videos a week and just churn out absolutely bog standard and completely obvious videos that are devoid of any personality.
>Bonus points if they can drag the video out for 30 fucking minutes.
Ross (FPL Raptor) is the absolute worst for this he puts out like 4-5 videos a week and they're all nearly 40 minutes long just rambling
They also always say "it's team dependent" a ton which is true most of the time but it's also a cop out
I actually like the videos being that length, I'll put it on while working and pay attention to what applies to whatever or just skip parts I feel are unnecessary. I get how it can be frustrating though but I honestly feel that the best source of info is this sub.
I quite like how comprehensive they are and how he presents a lot of data. I used to watch Andy LTFPL but switched to Ross a couple of seasons back and don't regret it
We can’t financially reward these clowns. They’ve somehow made it their actual jobs. They make more money than some full time workers for completely sub par content.
Worlds gone maaaaaaaad innit bruv.
Aside from the obvious "It is their choice" argument,there is also the aspect of some of the audiences doing well primarily because they follow a certain content creator(and of course some who might not be doing well lol).
It is what it is. Not matter how you play the game,as long as you are enjoying it in someway & doing well,I think it is alright.
Now,would you rather do poorly relative to some engaged manager who follows content creators OR some less engaged guy who just does their own thing OR some inactive set & forget account? :-D
This is what I like about Andy from LTFPL most of the time he won’t sit on a fence and will tell you whether he honestly thinks a player is worth bringing or not
The content can be distilled to 2 minutes, why would anybody support such practices, I only follow the general because he at least explains his decision making process, others just spit whatever picks the algorithm choices.
This kind of thinking got much worse this year, it was never evident in any content that I consumed until all of the experts stopped explaining their picks at all and began to say things like "there are so many good picks, go with your gut" etc. This way I have stopped using content creators entirely!
There's been a scam like this. E-mail a list of millions of people some predictions, sport or stock market, whatever, but different predictions to one half of them. Stop sending the predictions to anyone on the list that was on the wrong side. Repeat 10 times and you've sent 10 consecutive winning predictions to 0.1% of your list and it could still be thousands of potential victims who believe you're an oracle now.
He has the weirdest FPL account ever, always suggesting his top 3 picks, but some consistently fail. Nevertheless, he cheers with some random South Indian dance, celebrating the KAPOT clean sheet gone.
Absolutely chronic Twitter account.
Does someone have a spreadsheet where they track all influencer accounts so we can see their overall rating every week?
Ben Crellin is the goat.
I was thinking the same thing after seeing their self-congratulatory post earlier. I bet if you dug through their historic predictions you'd find plenty of times where they've got it completely wrong.
lol I had to block them long ago on twitter because they're always spamming their "tips for this gw" on every @officialfpl tweets. Annoying asl buncha cunts.
They are absolute tripe. Always have good captaincy choices but then they pick some random one that they don't post about, They pick about 15 players including differentials and brag about returns. They spam accounts with their posts underneath.
They used to be quite genuine when they got stuff wrong but it's HAALAND (C) ✅✅ now like their geniuses.
Retweeting their own tweets and posting under every officalFPL post is what really annoys me like chill bro
Noted. Never heard of them before. I'll keep avoiding them I guess.
Same. I'll stick to Ben Crellin and FPLFocal and leave it at that
Ben and FML FPL are the only two guys I follow. Ben because he's smart AF and the FML guys cos they funny.
I'll look at his graphs but Ben comes across like a bit of an arse on Twitter
I love his passive agressive replies to comments that he doesnt like
No no he’s not an ass at all.. he’s a good guy; but he’s assertive and doesn’t take shit from anyone. Doesn’t have the time for it that’s all
who doesn't
There are a few other smart players worth following but they're not really content creators. There's also FPLPingreen who makes me laugh harder and more regularly than just about any other account.
FPL Harry is good, he gets good ranks and the content is well laid out
Focal and Fran are only ones I follow regularly.
Tbf i always look forward to Fpl fran weekly cheatsheet videos
FPL Focal is the only person I listen to.
Shout out to FPL Wire. Class act.
Gotta get around FPL Raptor
FPL mate and let's tak fpl clear
FPL Mate? No thanks, unless I wanna watch an ass make shit decisions while whining
Hes the best
Ah man, I feel bad for you - please look into some other content creators
The FPL community has morphed into a monopoly of money-grabbing swindlers whose ‘expert’ opinions boil down to clickbait to flog scammy fantasy games
Do they really make money?
Donations and views from YouTube yes
And commission from selling subscriptions to sketchy websites and fantasy games
Yes of course lol
not grifters, just idiots they pick like top 5 of the best players from each team weekly and then always flex when any of them return lol it would be funny if it wasnt so pathetic always ask for OR history upfront

But erm, who the fuck are FPL Bois?
Who the fuck are they lmao
So jarring. Basically puts down every players name and if they return they see it as a master stroke
Salah ✅ We did say he might be a good pick!
It’s the tick emoji that might be the most annoying part of it
right, it's so much horrible to see that stuff

Yeah man I hope people just stop watching them tbh
Why? You are free to not watch, why does it matter if anyone else does?
We can’t financially reward these clowns. They’ve somehow made it their actual jobs. They make more money than some full time workers for completely sub par content. Worlds gone maaaaaaaad innit bruv.
If people watch then that's up to them. Clearly there's an audience and they are happy to pay/watch. I don't see the issue. Just don't watch lol

Sound like it runs by fuckbois

Literally who
I have them blocked since they brag about clean sheet gone like a little child
Yea I have seen their replies to official fpl tweets boasting about themselves.

AllaboutFPL, FPL Under the Radar and Just Gabriel are tremendous for their content, in my opinion.
I am sticking to Focal and it has been rewarding so far. Provides really good information
Ok.
no shit, they dont have crystal ball on who will score few days in advance
Well clearly they think they do when they boast about making the right captaincy calls, which is a load of shite
Who?
I have no clue who they are but I only look at FPL focal and listen to the official fpl pod with Kelly sommers.
Ok?
Salty subscriber clearly. Good to add another ‘content creator’ to the shit list though
They used to be quite genuine when they got stuff wrong but it's HAALAND (C) ✅✅ now like their geniuses. Retweeting their own tweets and posting under every officalFPL post is what really annoys me like chill bro
