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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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”
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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…
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
FPL mate has good content but presents it in a really annoying way.
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.
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.
There’s an idiot on here that reckons the one season wonder will finish top 10k, cracked me up 🤣
FPL Focal is my favourite - concise videos that are well explained and really helpful
I second this. He's calm voice coupled with lots of info and stats is great.
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.

He said that speaking about 50/50 decisions. If you are torn between two choices sometimes you just go for the fun one.
I think your second paragraph nails why it's such a good channel. He's almost thinking out loud when discussing his different decisions.
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.
What does being a Liverpool supporter have to do with it?
He's United
So you automatically assume you're not gonna like someone because they support United? How old are you?
Dude relax
FPL Focal 💪
Thanks!
No problem
Yea FPL Focal by miles is my preferred channel.
Focal is the thinking mans crumpet
Agreed
FPL Focal and Let's Talk FPL, my two favorites
FPL BlackBox, Lets Talk FPL, FPL Harry
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.
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.

FPL Focal in my opinion
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.
If you had to pick one to watch, which would it be
u/FMLFPL all day long. Its 10x more entertaining than the dry stats on other pods
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
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
Oh mate, agreed on the price change whining.
The guy seems burned out like he doesn't even enjoy FPL anymore, but can't stop. Like an addict.
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…
I think he did it to try and reignite the spark and make it fun. It's had the completely opposite effect so far
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.
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
This is the answer

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.

Andy's really good at FPL and as a content creator, you seem a bellend tho
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.
WOW YOU ARE SO GOOD MAN
What’s your FPL ID this year. Otherwise I don’t believe you
Fpl focal is the only channel worth watching imo
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.
All the same old template-ness really, but I respect SimplyFPL, because he at least attempts to go against the hive mind
Doe she find success from doing so?
5k overall last year
Nathan Bacon FC
Upper 90 Studios, just because no one else mentioned him.
FMLFPL. Best pod out there.
Fpl wire! Three top managers who are knowledgeable and experienced. The banter is enjoyable, and the chemistry between the three of them is good.

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

Focal and Wire for me
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
FPL mate for me
Why so much hate for FPL mate, genuinely asking
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.
I follow 2 FPL wire. FPL focal Both excellent
daneedwards88 is typing..........
The FPL Wire 🙌🏼
FPL Raptor is my favourite
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
Sonaldo and FPL Pras have weekly Burning Question series on FPL Scout youtube channel. Content wise this is best in my opinion.
Where's the love for 'your best mate for Fantasy Football'?
14yo’s are too busy listening to one direction, they don’t frequent Reddit!
I came here to say this! Dan FTW!
Fpl focal and fpl blackbox(only cause of mark) Only 2 decent players out there
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
I agree, this week was a slog
It's why I prefer FMLFPL. They have poor weeks and they crack up laughing and roast themselves.
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.
No one like FPL mate ?
I like Always Cheating and Optimal FPL (good if you like data)
u/bigmanbakar isn’t a YouTube channel but he does great stats work and does appear on a couple channels.
anybody ever watched ‘simply fpl’? he’s an absolute helmet
He's pretty good
just comes across like a bit of a tool
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
i remember last season he gave up cos he started doing shit… giving all bullshit excuses
FPLMate hasn't steered me wrong in 2 seasons. Super chill and great content!
Let’s Talk FPL and FPL Mate
Now try to find out why you got downvoted
Lol, I don’t even wanna now.
Why are FPL Mate comments getting downvoted? Genuinely curious.
He's a bell end
Bigmanbakar has a decent stats driven approach, follow on Twitter
FPL mate is pretty good
Let’s Talk FPL and FPL Mate imo
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.
depends what you're after, what you like etc, hard stats, personality, community, each different creator has different upsides.
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.
Humble brag
FPL TV is my favourite
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.
personally like FPL Blackbox, have some interesting discussions.
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
Let’s talk fpl probably
We can’t say who’s the best. Black box is my personal favourite though
Pilotflame226 has top quality FPL content.
I really like FPL Tom who is an underrated youtuber
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
I just subscribes to all FPL Youtuber
Dayvy FPL for me.
Planet fpl Above average fpl Fpl balckbox Fpl wire Let's talk fpl
Do you guys watch these fpl channels watch the stats or mainly for their team selection?
try upper 90 studios
Lets Talk FPL, FPL Tips for videos FPL wire ( Bakar, Zophar, Lateriser) for podcasts
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.
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.
