Fantasy Premier League 2021 Preview of 9th to 12th place
You find out life’s this game of inches. So is Fantasy Premier League!
Last season didn’t end all that long ago, and yet here we are under a week out from the new FPL season! It’s going to be an interesting season as we face the new normal of no fans (or maybe some fans on a trial basis).
Included in the new norm, reduced schedule times as they try to squeeze a whole season into a smaller window and there’s the looming shadow of COVID which could remove players from contention in a heartbeat (see Soucek and maybe Foden/Greenwood).
We’ve done the top 4 here, the teams that finished in 5th-8th here and now its 9th to 12th as we work our way down through the league table.
While we here, don’t forget to sign up to the Top Flight mini league to prove your FPL credentials! Use the code v2xfkj or click here.
Keep an eye out for the rest of the previews coming over the next week, plus a replacement for the Tortoise and the Hare experiment I ran last year!
Fixtures
A reminder of my own personal fixture rankings – I use goals scored/conceded split home and away to rank the difficulty of fixtures instead of the FPL’s seemingly arbitrary 1-5 rankings (that doesn’t even use 1!).
With all the #FPL drafts and threads all over the twitter community I figured, with 2 weeks to go, it's time to throw in my 2 cents

I love @OfficialFPL but I hate the fixture rankings, so I've done my own

Let us dive into the best pick, the differential pick, and the ones who shouldn’t be on your team for the FPL season ahead.
