Last year I cam 20th in the world on the Premier League Website. So while I think it was luck with our resident top 6 Fridayer CK off in Cuba it is my turn to come up with one. So here goes.

Number 6. Defence is in teams.
Defence points goes like this. 2 points for playing 60 minutes 4 points for a clean sheet. This is primarily how defenders score points. Now this statistic does not differentiate between players ie if you have 2 cracking central defenders and a crap full back. The crap full back is going to get the benefit of the good center backs. I.e clean sheets do not recognise the difference between Evra and Wes Brown. So remember if you are going for a defender because you think his team will not concede much go with his cheapest continuous playing team mate

Number 5

Top defenders can score other points though. By scoring, assists and bonus points. For scoring there is only a few top scoring defenders Lescott and Laursen for instance. With some wingers getting assist points like chimbonda and clichy splash out on one of these but overloading your team on these defenders will strip you of money that can be used elsewhere on the pitch.

Number 4.

Liverpool Players. Benetis will break your heart. What you need to consist players playing week in and weekout. Benetis is likely to rotate his team a lot so beware you don’t want to be bringing in your emergency hull city defender every other week.

Number 3.

Subs. subs are vital because a player can be drop. Especially from any teams playing in Europe. You need your subs to be guaranteed starters. But as you are not planning on using them normally don’t let them drain you of money. There is value in the lower teams use it.

Number 2

Attaching Midfielders can really score points the likes of Gerard, Fabby, Ballack and Ronaldo. Score and assist all day long. While holding midfielders Mascherano might be great but they are not going to generate you points. Midfielders marginally score better then forwards so focus your spending here more so then up front. You need one if not 2 of big fours big hitters. Also look out for midfielders that stake penalties.

Number 1.

Use your transfers. They key to winning is transfers you get 1 a week for free make sure you use it. If Man U are playing Hull make sure you have plenty of Man U attackers on your team. You can plan this in a few weeks in advance building up you team for a match like that. Also players fortunes change during the year be ready to get rid of them.  If a first team goalie gets a long term injury or dropped look at his replacement might be cheaper and open some cash for team improvements next year.
