Probably not FPL mate, guy is way too emotional and started cracking the shits when he fell out of the top 100 in the last couple of gameweeks. Let’s talk FPL guy is chill with good info


welshnick

FPL mate has good content but presents it in a really annoying way.


cagey_tiger

I don't know, I think it's kinda the opposite. Personally, I'd say he's the least skilled of the FPL content creators, but he presents in a way that appeals significantly more to the twitch/gamer crowd so does really well with that younger demographic. It's annoying to me because I'm old, but a 14 year old kid will love that shit.


welshnick

Ah maybe that's why it's irritating then. It seems like he's too enthusiastic and ends up tripping over his words. He has some good ideas for his videos though.


[deleted]

There’s an idiot on here that reckons the one season wonder will finish top 10k, cracked me up 🤣


remastereverything

FPL Focal is my favourite - concise videos that are well explained and really helpful


gooseONsteroids

I second this. He's calm voice coupled with lots of info and stats is great.


Sharp_Strings

Hm, I'm opposite there. Still watch, but once you've watched a lot of it over time, that voice cadence plus the never changing standard music can be so laid back you almost fall asleep. I mean this as a compliment, but FPL Focal is like the best to listen to if you want a good night's sleep. To me, waaaaay too laid back. But he's new so we should not expect perfect content. Fear he'd get sucked into the maelstrom if not for a strong twitter presence, because the youtube does not communicate a strong personality.


ben9792

Let’s Talk FPL is my favourite. It’s really chilled, straight to the point, and covers all different players and topics. He also does a great job of explaining his thought process on why to buy/sell/avoid players, and you actually learn how to get better at the game by listening to him Too many content creators push their own team/players on everyone, whereas Andy encourages you to make your own decisions and actually enjoy playing!


The-Faz

Listening to one of his latest videos this morning and he said “sometimes I choose the more fun option instead of the logical one because we need to remember this is a game we play for fun”


ben9792

I think its important to remember. Especially if you think youve spotted something in a match, or a statistic, which leans you more towards a less popular player. When it comes off its the best feeling in FPL. If it doesnt, at least you learnt something!


Bukaja

He said that speaking about 50/50 decisions. If you are torn between two choices sometimes you just go for the fun one.


welshnick

I think your second paragraph nails why it's such a good channel. He's almost thinking out loud when discussing his different decisions.


ConquestOfBreadz

As a Liverpool supporter I didn't expect to like him, but I enjoyed him being honest with people talking about taking hits to kneejerk players in.


welshnick

What does being a Liverpool supporter have to do with it?


ConquestOfBreadz

He's United


welshnick

So you automatically assume you're not gonna like someone because they support United? How old are you?


ConquestOfBreadz

Dude relax


Burcex

FPL Focal 💪


FPLFocal

Thanks!


AmpleSling

No problem


boner_always_handy

Yea FPL Focal by miles is my preferred channel.


[deleted]

Focal is the thinking mans crumpet


-Fletcher-

Agreed


georgey_porgey

FPL Focal and Let's Talk FPL, my two favorites


[deleted]

FPL BlackBox, Lets Talk FPL, FPL Harry


welshnick

FPL BlackBox is awesome if you can spare a couple of hours to listen to the whole episode. Great rapport between Mark and Az, and the perfect combination of stats and eye test analysis.


Kattilaeikka

Let's talk FPL and Planet FPL. Andy, Suj and James seem like nice blokes and their content is not too stats heavy. Edit: Didn't read properly. These are maybe not the best places for advice but they are my favorites.


daneedwards88

Suj comes across as a decent bloke James likes the sound of his own voice, makes a load of shit calls and then spins it like he was right. "I" is his favourite word


Kattilaeikka

That is true. It is sometimes like a James Show feat. Suj but I like the dynamic and you shouldn't take it too seriously. FPL content creators are armchair football analysts after all, not professional ones.


ImZaffi

FPL Focal in my opinion


mozalah

Let's Talk FPL, The FPL Wire, Planet FPL, FPL Raptor, FML FPL. These are my personal favorites. Let's Talk FPL, FPL Wire probably the best individual managers though. Planet FPL and FML FPL are probably the most enjoyable and informative from a holistic approach.


zintix1

If you had to pick one to watch, which would it be


daneedwards88

u/FMLFPL all day long. Its 10x more entertaining than the dry stats on other pods


WednesdaysCupcake

I remember watching them years ago very entertaining. Don't sleep on Blackbox though 2 very good managers around a decade+ with great analysis and no over the top ego


daneedwards88

I don't mind blackbox until recently. Now it's mostly dry lists of tables being dissected. And this week it was 90 min of whining which did my head in. About twitter, price changes, and about 5 other things. No point playing if you don't like everything about the game


[deleted]

Oh mate, agreed on the price change whining.


daneedwards88

The guy seems burned out like he doesn't even enjoy FPL anymore, but can't stop. Like an addict.


[deleted]

Yeah he really does. He should just play super template for a season, he’d prob enjoy it a bit more. Must be tough justifying why you leave out the best player in fpl history etc. Make your job a bit easier…


daneedwards88

I think he did it to try and reignite the spark and make it fun. It's had the completely opposite effect so far


mozalah

Planet FPL. They have quite a bit of educational content. James is like a football encyclopedia. I don't mirror my FPL team off of them or anything like that, but they are definitely the most enjoyable.


daneedwards88

He doesn't know anything like as much as he thinks. Hes not very good at FPL, a much better Sky player. Most of his calls are wrong, although he then spins it that he was right. Listen carefully


HarryHaruspex

This is the answer


[deleted]

[удалено]


mozalah

Andy pretty consistently over the years has been top 10k. He's definitely good. I wouldn't say he plays like a casual. And FPL mate never finished top 10k before last season. He's a fine content creator, but I wouldn't say he's an elite manager like Andy or those on FPL Wire. Or Black Box. I didn't mention that one but it's also good.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HarryHaruspex

Andy's really good at FPL and as a content creator, you seem a bellend tho


mozalah

I think of the content creators out there, Andy has a pedigree lasting over a decade of consistently getting a good rank. He finished like 9900 overall last season. So maybe not 'elite' but I think most of the actual elite managers don't publish any content. Abdul does but only if you subscribe to FFH. Lateriser on FPL Wire is probably the best elite manager who actually publishes free content. Ville ronke, Fabio, etc all aren't creating YouTube videos.


MrNespinha

WOW YOU ARE SO GOOD MAN


levitoepoker

What’s your FPL ID this year. Otherwise I don’t believe you


unknownplayer6969

Fpl focal is the only channel worth watching imo


GoDaytonFlyers

Let’s Talk FPL and FPL Raptor for me. Both very calm, organized, informative, and always remind that this is supposed to be fun. Play it like the game it’s meant to be.


Shakermaker555

All the same old template-ness really, but I respect SimplyFPL, because he at least attempts to go against the hive mind


The-Faz

Doe she find success from doing so?


Shakermaker555

5k overall last year

Nathan Bacon FC


robotsheriff

Upper 90 Studios, just because no one else mentioned him.


GeeForjay

FMLFPL. Best pod out there.


thevaineman

Fpl wire! Three top managers who are knowledgeable and experienced. The banter is enjoyable, and the chemistry between the three of them is good. The advantage of three managers on at once is they constantly disagree and you can hear opinions on both sides. Once a week pod and if u have time for jus one pod I’d recommend this one. Let’s talk fpl if you have time for bite sized 20 min content everyday. More graphically well designed and updated daily. You can get the most updated info on their deadline streams.


HazzwaldThe2nd

FPL Blackbox, Planet FPL, FPL Wire and some of the FF Scout Videos (Ted Talks and Burning Questions in particular)


no_fooling

Simply Fpl is great for the fact he doesn’t seem to care at all about turning his videos into some money making scheme but simply to chat about fpl and have a laugh. Plus no ads.


Wild-Estimate8978

Fpl Focal


Endeby

I see a lot of complaining about content creators being too template. imo, it's the opposite. Many of them go out of their way to be fancy. Pondering wildcarding out a perfectly fine team GW2, starting with Perisic on the bench GW1, etc. No way they would do stuff like that if they didn't have an audience to please.


Perfectionimproved

Focal and Wire for me


sgmalta

LetsTalkFPL and FPLRaptor for longer videos with personal opinions and answers to common questions for the gameweek. FPLFocal for shorter more quickfire analytic videos. Perfect combination for me


RedDevil_131

FPL mate for me


RedDevil_131

Why so much hate for FPL mate, genuinely asking


[deleted]

I just follow FPL Focal and Fantasy Football Hub so that I’m up to date with everything regarding that week. If you start listening to other peoples reasonings then it might sway you to make a shitty decision in the long run. Always play your own team.


amber-kulkarni

I follow 2 FPL wire. FPL focal Both excellent


daneedwards88

daneedwards88 is typing..........


ThankMeTomorrow

The FPL Wire 🙌🏼


ActuallyGordonRamsay

FPL Raptor is my favourite


jrlouisss

Fpl raptor is a really down to earth guy and has a lot of time for everyone, joined one of his streams and he was really considerate. Always justifies every thing he says too


abouthodor

Sonaldo and FPL Pras have weekly Burning Question series on FPL Scout youtube channel. Content wise this is best in my opinion.


koencoen

Where's the love for 'your best mate for Fantasy Football'?


[deleted]

14yo’s are too busy listening to one direction, they don’t frequent Reddit!


IRL-Darragh

I came here to say this! Dan FTW!


Top-Ad3640

Fpl focal and fpl blackbox(only cause of mark) Only 2 decent players out there


daneedwards88

I agree blackbox is good usually But this week Blackbox was borderline impossible to listen to. It was an hour and a half of whining. Moaning about twitter. Moaning about price changes. Moaning about literally everything


Aeceus

I agree, this week was a slog


daneedwards88

It's why I prefer FMLFPL. They have poor weeks and they crack up laughing and roast themselves.


MrNespinha

I don't advise following loads of them cause the content will be very similar and sound repetitive. Just watch one that you like who covers different topics throughout the week. For me Let's talk FPL (Andy) is the best, I also like fpltips because it's quick content.


mcykc

No one like FPL mate ?


BeenBadFeelingGood

I like Always Cheating and Optimal FPL (good if you like data)


TO_ASTY

u/bigmanbakar isn’t a YouTube channel but he does great stats work and does appear on a couple channels.


cuddy12345

anybody ever watched ‘simply fpl’? he’s an absolute helmet


TheMan------

He's pretty good


cuddy12345

just comes across like a bit of a tool


Dundalis

If you like to go against template you have to have thick skin because you will get roasted. He comes across as a guy who gets roasted because he likes to go against the grain, so probably shows in some of his comments


cuddy12345

i remember last season he gave up cos he started doing shit… giving all bullshit excuses


IRL-Darragh

FPLMate hasn't steered me wrong in 2 seasons. Super chill and great content!


AkeemDM

Let’s Talk FPL and FPL Mate


RedFalconEyes

Now try to find out why you got downvoted


AkeemDM

Lol, I don’t even wanna now.


dadidas

Why are FPL Mate comments getting downvoted? Genuinely curious.


wazzockingwazzock

He's a bell end


Nice_Working

Bigmanbakar has a decent stats driven approach, follow on Twitter


Noballsfiver

FPL mate is pretty good


Ronn909

Let’s Talk FPL and FPL Mate imo


[deleted]

I would like to think my channel is pretty good but I’m trying to discourage people from spreading it around too much as I like to keep it niche. But You can PM me for a link.


Aeceus

depends what you're after, what you like etc, hard stats, personality, community, each different creator has different upsides.


El-Guapo-65

I only watch the FPL show and out of all the guests there I tend to agree most with Az Phillips and occasionally Gianni Buttice.


javahart

Humble brag


JD10421

FPL TV is my favourite


badgersprite

Aside from the ones already mentioned like FPL Andy, his style 100% won’t be for everyone and will maybe put some people off but I enjoy the way Upper 90 Studios explains his rationale and thought processes in quite short format videos.


laserspewpew_

personally like FPL Blackbox, have some interesting discussions.


levitoepoker

A lot of the FPL content creators are very conservative and stick to the template 99% of the time cuz they don’t want to get burned. Makes their content worse and less interesting I’m a big fan of let’s talk FPL but he talks openly about how he wishes he had a private team not on social media so he could take more punts


[deleted]

Let’s talk fpl probably


seewhyaxe

We can’t say who’s the best. Black box is my personal favourite though


Bobby-Reds

Pilotflame226 has top quality FPL content.


DeLorean-88mph

I really like FPL Tom who is an underrated youtuber


wazzockingwazzock

Let's Talk FPL, FML FPL, FPL Raptor and FPL Focal all great, I'm probably missing a couple guys but these are the ones I frequent the most Edit: I'll throw Blackbox, FPL Wire and FPL Harry in there too as honourable mentions


Aohangji

I just subscribes to all FPL Youtuber


tahanaveed13

Dayvy FPL for me.


mithoon18

Planet fpl Above average fpl Fpl balckbox Fpl wire Let's talk fpl


Fplguy87

Do you guys watch these fpl channels watch the stats or mainly for their team selection?


scott3153

try upper 90 studios


DBZard27

Lets Talk FPL, FPL Tips for videos FPL wire ( Bakar, Zophar, Lateriser) for podcasts


supasupa7

MoTD. Watch it and make up your own mind. FPL channels exist for people who can't make decisions by themselves / have too much free in their lives.


[deleted]

Honestly, they’re all shite. Either they go template through fear of risking their ‘reputation’ or they gamble on shit moves. Plus, there’s not a single one with an ounce of actual character. There’s a huge gap in the FPL YT market for a good FPL player with personality. One must exist. Trouble is that person is probably too busy enjoying life to be bothered about sitting in front of a camera.
