Fantasy Premier League - Taking A Hit The Key To Success

Praise For Taking A Hit: The Key To Success "Within the wonderful game of FPL, there are hundreds of micro decisions that must be made on a weekly basis. The difference between a top 100k finish and a top 1k finish can be one, singular transfer at the start of the season, that catalyses a series of changes resulting in FPL glory or FPL failure. As a result, if we can improve our decision-making by just 1%, it can have a remarkable impact on our season. "One can imagine, therefore, that this comprehensive, insightful exploration of one of the most important elements of the game - transfers and hits - could have the ability to catapult you up the rankings and make you the king or queen of your mini-league. To write a book, in and of itself, is an incredible achievement. However, due to the amount of work it takes, authors can be tempted to cut corners. This book? Well this book does no such thing! "From philosophical discussions of transfer strategies and management types, to real world research and surveys, to asking some of the best managers in the world for their insights, this book is without a doubt the most comprehensive discussion of transfers that you will ever read, and I truly think it will transform the way you play FPL." Ross Dowsett Author of The Mind Game YouTube (FPL Raptor) "Taking hits is one of the most topical areas of FPL and after a sneak peak, I look forward to reading more of Paul's book. We spend hours deliberating on our weekly transfers and this book should make our decision-making process just that little bit easier." Gianni Buttice Official Fantasy Premier League Show Panelist Author of Premier Fantasy League: Unlocking The Secrets To A Top 1% Finish "As someone who takes FPL (probably a little too) seriously and who likes to (over?) analyse their performance in search of scope for improvement, I tend to value objective information - especially when this is gathered from some of the very best players in the game. I'll admit that taking hits is an area of my game I have spent less time looking at than others. As I started to look at the way rank changes work in FPL, I quickly concluded that taking too many hits could potentially have a negative impact on rank so I became quite conservative in that respect, only taking a hit when absolutely necessary. However, I wonder if I could be missing an opportunity to make significant gains by using hits more proactively? Paul's book offers us the opportunity to learn and understand the strategies used by top FPL managers in relation to taking hits and, if you're anything like me, I'm sure that you will find the prospect of that intriguing and impossible to resist..." Alex Pickard (FPL Dork @DorkFpl) 2020/21: 350th "While some strategies of Fantasy Premier League are widely accepted in the FPL community, the concept of hits is divisive and can perhaps be a barrier for some fantasy veterans (myself included) to reach the upper echelons of the overall rankings in a single season. This book is a fascinating read for fantasy managers old and new, as Paul delves into the data of 2020/21 to find out when hits are beneficial and how getting it right can propel you up the leaderboard. There's plenty of great takeaways I'll be trying to implement into my own fantasy approach going forward to give myself an edge. Don't miss out!"
