3. Hopcroft
Adam Hopcroft also considers the arguments for and against an early wildcard, as well as considering being flexible with your formation and team structure. I personally will be playing my wildcard at the first international break.
Tip of the day 1:
Pick a flexible team & team structure.
Bargain & "essential" players will emerge so you need a structure that is easy to transfer them in.
As @FFScout_Joe always says picking players at different price points means most players are attainable in 2 moves max

6. Crellin
Ben Crellin keeps things on brand with his resolutions for this season. It’s all about the deployment of the chips, with some early weeks earmarked right from the beginning, including a Mo Salah triple captain.
My FPL 2019/20 resolutions, in order of certainty:
▪️Bench Boost in GW37 – probably the only big Double GW
▪️Free Hit in GW31 – probably the only big Blank GW
▪️Start the sason with a 4-4-2 formation
▪️Triple Captain Salah in the DGW that's caused by WHU vs LIV being rescheduled— Ben Crellin (@BenCrellin) July 26, 2019

0) While I'm seeing a lot of people advocating targeting the first international break after GW4 as the best time to play an early wildcard this season, I'd like to make a case that the international break after GW8 is in fact a better time.
Here's a {THREAD} on why:

0) Here's a {THREAD} on decision fatigue & how actively avoiding it has impacted how I play FPL for the better.
First of all, what is it?
"Decision fatigue refers to the deteriorating quality of decisions made by an individual after a long session of decision making."

We all have a blank slate.
We all have the same rank, the same budget & the same information.
My opinion on your team, is my team.
If you prefer X over X, then go for it, you don’t need others to help you justify it.
Be happy in your own decisions & you can’t go wrong! ?
