Meet the BBC Sport FPL Experts

Among the participants are Alistair Bruce-Ball, Statman Dave, and Chris Sutton from the FPL Podcast on BBC Sport. Can you outplay these seasoned experts? Last year's winner, Max Littleproud, not only topped the BBC Sport league but also finished fifth overall in the global rankings—an incredible achievement!

Max Littleproud's Winning Strategy

Max, a 28-year-old maths teacher from Manchester, shared his journey to success. He spent 22 weeks in the top 15, 18 weeks in the top 10, and even reached first place globally in January. Max relied on gut instinct rather than overanalyzing statistics, avoiding popular FPL content to make independent decisions.

"Everything I did last season was purely gut instinct," Max says. "I tried to be mindful of doing my own thing and not being swayed by various sources."

Tips for FPL Success

1. Trust Your Instincts: Avoid getting bogged down by excessive data and trust your football knowledge.
2. Stay Consistent: Regular team management and timely transfers are key.
3. Avoid Overthinking: Sometimes, less analysis leads to better decisions.
4. Unique Picks: Max’s choice of Everton's Ashley Young for six weeks earned him over 60 points.
