Welcome to Andrew Ferguson's Fantasy Football Diary. Andrew is a veteran all-round fantasy football player, with five consecutive #FPL top 1% finishes (best 715th) and numerous top 100 finishes across multiple formats (Top 100 in #SkyFF and #TFF 18/19). He'll be covering his progress and tips through the season in Fantasy Premier League, FanTeam, Sky Sports Fantasy Football, Telegraph Fantasy Football and Sun Dream Team exclusively for Fantasy Football Hub members.
Another superb Gameweek in all formats (excluding Sky Fantasy due to a 50/50 going the wrong way) and big climbs across the board as I rode my luck whilst my big guns also fired, particularly Bruno Fernandes whose 'luck' divided opinion on social media. For what it's worth, in my opinion there was nothing lucky about one of the best players and fantasy options in the game scoring decent points against one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Fantasy football is about scoring points and nothing more, it doesn't matter how you get them and if fantasy manager's don't factor in penalty duties when considering players and captaincy, wo betide them. You don't need to play well to score a penalty, even though he actually did play well and was unfortunate not to get a mega haul. Elsewhere the Chelsea juggernaut keeps rolling although I do think we will see a stutter over the coming Gameweeks as their fixtures turn, particularly in defence. The questions I am asking myself this week are are Man City asset(s) as attractive as usual, am I being stubborn by holding onto Foden and could Jota cover Salah? The answers to these questions will dictate my moves this week with Vardy also throwing himself into the ring with some quite stunning fixtures coming up in the short term.

Andrew's FPL Gameweek 9 Points
Another fantastic week and big green arrow and I do feel quite unfortunate that Werner, Watkins (penalty shout) and Fernandes didn't return more.
Good update. I find it a bit mind boggling how you manage to compete across so many ff formats. Fair play 👍
Cheers Ross… years of practice!! 😉
Superb rank in Sun Dream Team mate, I hope you win it
Many thanks – long way to go but getting a good start is key for sure!
Great stuff Andrew and your TFF team is going great guns. This is why I really enjoy reading these articles…learn so much about strategy and tactics. Thank you for sharing and all the best for the weekends games
Interested as to why you look to bring 8n Dias across a number of formats instead of the more attacking Cancelo Andrew. Is it the risk of rotation that is playing on your mind here?
Yes for sure. Both Mendy and Zinchenko were in the midweek CL squad, and I actually think Dias has equal attacking threat to Cancelo. He really should have scored against Spurs last weekend!
Thanks Andrew for that…means I will now put Dias in my TFF side as replacement for the injured Digne. Cheers and good luck for the weekend!
