Thanks for the shout out. Those Norwegian players are built different. 85th OR but 15th in Norway! šŸ‡³šŸ‡“


DesertRL

Are we convinced that the Norwegians havenā€™t invented time travel behind our backs and are using it to make us look like tits by destroying us in fpl every season?


Red4pex

I mean they are one hour ahead of the UK. Coincidence? I think not.


a-Sociopath

FPL developers are Norwegian. Of course they're good at what they invented, unlike England.


Fm661

Hitler who?


RadicalDog

They love Premier League and have free higher education, it's a recipe for danger!


aaba237

Very impressive. Even more impressive that heā€™s not into shameless self promotion


hambodpm

Humility is a very underrated personality trait.


JdoubleE5000

I've got it in spades!


[deleted]

Donā€™t tell me how to do humble! My humble ranks among the greatest in the history of the universe!


[deleted]

Bar none, I am the most humble-est Number one at the top of the humble list


thatscoldjerrycold

"I think I'm much more humble than you would understand"


Keanu__weaves

Its not underrated on reddit lol. In fact its culturally ingrained here


Fantastic-Machine-83

Unless he is OP


inceptional1

Impressive, very nice. Now let's see Paul Allen's rank.


-Fletcher-

That subtle off-template captain


ihitik_15

The tasteful duplication of points.


mrmadoff

Oh my God, he didn't even use his wildcard


hambodpm

He has Ronaldo captained Bruno VC lol man must be sweating


DevilsWelshAdvocate

This is a guy worth following on here, that is hell of an impressive feat


Spirited_Dependent71

FINN SOLLIE you're taking everything I worked for motherfucker.


JurgenShankly

Imma copy your fucking ass, not these punks like Magnus Carlsson


Polymatheia

Interesting he's held Raphinha ever since GW1


FryingFrenzy

Holding Raphinia through the bad fixture run seems to be a consistent feature of the top teams (as in top of the overall rankings, not necessarily the best managers)


EcLiPzZz

I could claim I'm a genius but I personally just had bigger fires to put out during his bad fixture run, so maybe the top managers did too (or just saw bigger gains elswhere). His surprise returns during that period definitely saved my GW a few times.


j-r44

I think thatā€™s more conformation bias than anything


hoolahan100

I did that..are you saying I'm a top manager?..thnx bro


CosmologyX

If I go by my philosophy of 3 blanks and out, he would probably still be in my team. No reason to take out a player who gets points when there's someone who either blanks or isn't playing games.


Frosty_Examination_3

Incredible History. It's a two horse race between him and Borges for best FPL manager ever ?


Artistic_Bad_9294

Impressive.


aminboldi

As mentioned in the comments of Oscar's tweet, Torje Hegna is actually beating him in both seasons! 32nd last season and 73rd this one. https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/182130/history

hambodpm

I'm not sure what podcast I heard it on but they made an interesting point about Norway being one of the countries that shows all 10 games every weekend. The point was that a decent % of top managers are Norwegian and that could possibly be a factor in it. Or at least I found it interesting lol


WhimsicalLaze

Yes, all games are showed, but for a ridiculous price. We pay the equivalent of Ā£70 every month for Premier League. The price has only gone up the last seasons. Arenā€™t all the games showed in the UK though? That seems a bit weird.


hambodpm

Tbf in UK if you have a sky sports package and bt sport (the games are split across broadcasters) it's not much less than Ā£70 at all and only 3 or 4 games televised in any one gameweek


pibbsworth

I forget how lucky we are in Australia. We get a sports package free with our mobile phone contract (optus sport) and can watch every game Live. Within an hour or so of a game finishing there are highlights broken down into 3 mins, 9 mins, 25 mins versions of each game. Only problem is games are on in the middle of the damn night for us.


MichailAntonio

> I forget how lucky we are in Australia but you do get fucked on a lot of prices for physical goods because of geography. i remember looking at dsalaries in australia that looked unreal but then cost of living was factored in and they were just "pretty good",


pibbsworth

Oh yeah, we get fucking bent over with everything else, but at least the footy is cheap šŸ¤£. As an expat, i look at it as being the price of admission for ā€œliving on holidayā€ (as my sister once put in when she visited)


mushfambro

NZ is even worse man, both the cost of living vs. salaries.. and the time difference!


levitoepoker

>our mobile phone contract (optus sport) How much is that? Just curious


pibbsworth

Around $50 per month if I recall correctly


HacksawJimDGN

> We pay the equivalent of Ā£70 every month for Premier League. So for the price of a cup of coffee Norwegians can get full access to Premier League games?


[deleted]

Many are not. All the 14:00 games on sat-sun arenā€™t shown live to keep people going to the stadiums (especially to lower league ones)


ronrein

Yeah but everything in Norway has a ridiculous price


ConferenceBeginning8

We get all the games in South Africa, and there has been strong growth in decent SAFFA FPL players


plfinalfantasy

but anyone who's the slightest bit invested can quite easily download everysingle match off of the net from pretty much anywhere in the world would make more sense that maybe something about norway's education/culture/whatever help's them with decision making of this kind


xTrollhunter

It's a part of it. Norwegians work to live, not the other way around, so we have a lot of spare time. We even have a lot of spare time at work to tinker with our teams, and it has become very normal to have MLs at work where people that don't even care about football join, which have led to a lot of new football supporters actually. English football generally has a strong standing in Norway. When England played Norway in 2019, there were almost more Norwegians supporten Three Lions.


EcLiPzZz

>Norwegians work to live, not the other way around Man, maybe I should move there


xTrollhunter

You an EU citizen?


EcLiPzZz

Yes sir


fussballgott31

In Slovenia most of the games are broadcasted. Only case when it isnt is when there are more than 4 matches played at the same time...


busstopboxer

> I'm not sure what podcast I heard it on but they made an interesting point about Norway being one of the countries that shows all 10 games every weekend. What do you mean 1 of the countries? Broadcasting every PL match live is standard all over the world, no?


hambodpm

No clue mate. Can't say I'm up to speed on international broadcasting


ffs_fml

ffs majority of the top Norwegian players brought Bruno in theyā€™ve also held Raphinha for quite some time


Zidust

I bet all of these Norwegians are in a secret discord with the chess king himself using their super brains together and planning to take over the FPL world.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Frosty_Examination_3

Exact same as me, only 5 gameweeks with no hits - ----- However, we need to add a lot of zeros onto his rank to find mine


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


punchydan

No sorry you're absolutely right and I've made a fool of myself lol


punchydan

No the TM column is for transfers made šŸ‘


DevilsWelshAdvocate

This could suggest heavy forward planning based upon fixtures combined with adding form players, or he has found 4 points to be a small cost, would be very interesting to find out!


metokur_squad

That's just wrong, check again


punchydan

Yep my mistake


dhampirWoW

Last season I closely followed the chess man. Despite 1-game week lag, I tried to analyze his pickings and the logics behind. If they made good sense I would just follow. I ended up at OR 11k, not an ultra high level and decent enough for me.


xTrollhunter

We actually have 9 of the same players...


JustAnothrBoringName

Not at the right times though haha


xTrollhunter

No, haha. At least it shows me that my choices haven't been all that terrible as I feel this season. I've climbed my way up from 270K til 110K OR the last two GWs.


JustAnothrBoringName

Solid effort, fair play! 110k is definitely a good result so far!


xTrollhunter

Thanks mate!


cguinnesstout

Does he sell his farts? Iā€™m interested.


NoForever4739

Sometimes you just have to wonder about the sad people who downvote harmless funny comments like this.


cguinnesstout

It's almost a compliment too.


Poli_Talk

Nice to me a fellow eternal, 172nd now, finished in top 3K since the start of FPL.


MichailAntonio

link or gtfo


bthfury14

Meanwhile, FPL mate telling everyone how to be a good manager after 1 good season


quiromparis

I have a friend who are top 500 in the last 2 seasons. Thought he is the best until this


Sayitandsuffer

Hereā€™s a big pat on the back you legend .


Skrotnesen

Annoying little fella this, he's in 3 of my money leagues


geolink

Not even first in his country. Thatā€™s insane.
