FPL Fortress

It’s been a long, hectic, but ultimately rewarding couple of weeks of FPL. 26 more games of the Premier League are now in the books, and with it, we’ve had some massive gameweeks. Many activated the Triple Captain chip on Mo Salah, and one can only describe it as a mixed bag. Now, we’re coming upon a barren gameweek, with just four fixtures, so the focus will now turn towards simply surviving, rat...

In this episode, Jacob and Jiayang recap the last two FPL gameweeks, including the disaster that was Wout Weghorst and Leeds' horrific run of form that led to Bielsa getting sacked. They also discuss whether now is the time to wildcard, which teams to target in the coming gameweeks, and whether always captaining double gameweek players is a smart idea.  Follow us on social media: Instagram: @...

We’ve got a massively consequential gameweek coming up this weekend, and it’ll be absolutely essential to get it right. We’ll break down everything you need to know right here. This gameweek has some of the juiciest fixtures you will ever see in this game, and with that comes the potential for massive point swings. Of course, capitalizing on that is easier said than done, but we’ll do our best to...

Welcome back to the FPL Fortress! It’s been far too long without the Prem, but that’s set to come to an end soon. Granted, my mental health has largely benefited from the hiatus, but it’s good to be back. The FPL landscape is about to become very interesting as we head towards the tail end of the season. This week, we focus on the host of new arrivals who have made their way into the Prem. This me...

We’ve just witnessed one of the best Premier League weekends in recent history, in which a Champions League Final rematch wasn’t even close to the best game of the weekend. The good news is that GW 23 is set to be yet another cracker, and may even give some suffering managers some respite. We deliberate over the best City triple-up to have, Philippe Coutinho's potential, and address the urgent sta...

It’s been a while, but it’s good to be back. These last couple gameweeks have been dragging on for what has felt like years, but we’ve got a fun one coming up, with eight different teams having double gameweeks. There’s certainly been a lot happening though, even if the Prem was on pause, including the AFCON, FA Cup, and COVID postponements. It’ll be a challenge to sort through all of that and ass...

We were certainly treated to plenty of goals on Boxing Day, with Man City putting 6 past Leicester and Arsenal putting 5 past Norwich. Spurs saw out a comfortable victory against Crystal Palace, while Man United barely managed to scrape a draw against the mighty Magpies. In this episode, we really break down this underwhelming Man United side. Jacob tries his hand at building the perfect Man Unite...

We didn’t exactly have the biggest week of Premier League action, but to be honest, the games that were played were pretty good. And these postpones fixtures will be played at some point, so be ready for some fun double gameweeks. In the meantime, we can be sure that even more games will be canceled, so we’ll help you beef up your squad and survive the coming winter. We also bring you a rebranding...

Welcome back to another episode of the FPL Fortress. Apologies that we were not able to get an episode out last week, but we’re back this week. But the thing is, the Premier League might not be back for this upcoming week, at the rate postponements are happening right now. Covid is wreaking havoc all over the world, let alone on our FPL teams. Five of GW 18’s games have already been canceled, and...

It’s only been a week since the last episode, but so much has happened since then—midweek gameweeks are absolutely nuts. But it's also been an incredibly rough few gameweeks for some FPL managers out there. Unless you own Bernardo Silva. Especially if you own Harry Kane. This episode is centered around ways to deal with a bad run of gameweeks psychologically, and how to not let that cloud your jud...

We have a special double episode today, where we will be covering Gameweeks 14 and 15. There are a bunch of things to discuss, from the Curious Case of the Crap Cheap Forwards to Rangnick's prospects at saving the sinking United ship. Buckle up, FPL managers, and get ready for a load of fraudulence and pain over the busy December period! Follow us on social media: @fplfortress (Instagram) @Fpl_For...

We’ve got an exciting episode for you today after the weekend’s stunning events. I mean, who could have imagined United getting thrashed by Watford? 17% of the game still owns Luke Shaw! Getting thrashed by Liverpool is one thing, but getting dismantled entirely by Watford is just something else. To cap it off, we had multiple 6-goal thrillers from the unlikeliest of games. After our usual gamewee...

Welcome back to a new episode of the FPL Fortress. We’re coming to you right in the middle of what has been a very boring international break. They say that the only thing worse than having a bad gameweek is not having a gameweek. Depending on the state of your team, it might be the opposite, actually. Regardless, the next matches are not far away, and we’ll be answering the vital questions about...

Welcome back to another episode of the FPL Fortress. This weekend was a rough one for many FPL managers - that is, unless you had Reece James, who came out of nowhere and delivered for his owners, all while other big name players struggled. We'll discuss how Spurs played 4D chess by losing to United so they end up with Conte, as well as going big at the back to take advantage of the lack of option...

In this episode, Jacob and Jiayang break down a bizarre FPL gameweek, highlighted by Liverpool's 5-0 demolition of United and Chelsea's striker blanking in a 7-0 win against Norwich. We also discuss whether you should get City and/or Spurs attackers, how you should manage your budget, and remind you to captain Salah. 

Welcome back to another episode of the FPL Fortress. This past week has been nothing short of tumultuous, with the weekend’s drama shaking up our entire outlook on the upcoming fixtures. The weekend was full of exciting fixtures, with some small-name players showing us why they deserve to be in our team and many of the players we once considered mainstays got flat-out exposed. But Salah remains ki...

Welcome back to another episode of the FPL Fortress. This week was another rough one for FPL managers, with very few players rewarding your faith. The big strikers, Ronaldo and Lukaku, both failed their owners in very different ways. But just as nothing looked like it would go right, we were treated to the scintillating game of the season between Liverpool and City. Later on, we discuss the prospe...

Welcome back to another episode of the FPL Fortress. This past weekend may have been the most exciting of the season, with multiple top six clashes and lots of late drama. Unfortunately, it was a tough one for most FPL managers, with almost no big assets living up to their price tag. Here, we’ll analyze what went wrong and what you should do to make sure it doesn’t happen again next week. And of c...

We had yet another week of exciting premier league action, including Chelsea’s second-half domination of Spurs and David de Gea’s last-minute penalty save to secure yet another away win for United. Mo Salah furthers his case as the FPL goat, while a few other players, especially Watford’s Ismalia Sarr, propelled themselves into our managerial considerations. We’ll be breaking down which of these p...

Welcome to the latest episode of the FPL Fortress! It was a rough couple of weeks without any Premier League action, but this past weekend was certainly worth the wait for many managers as Cristiano Ronaldo’s debut deservedly got the limelight. It wasn’t all good though, as owners of Michail Antonio and DCL can tell you. We’ll be taking a look at what went wrong for so many teams and how you shoul...

Welcome back to another episode! This week, we’ll be taking a deep dive into the transfer window and discussing the most exciting deal of the summer: Ben White! No, let's be serious here. It is, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo’s blockbuster move to Manchester United. After all these years, he’s back and ready to provide our teams with a spark. A lot of managers are also considering triggering their f...

Welcome back once again to the FPL Fortress. We’re so excited to be finally getting back into the swing of things for the 2021/22 season, which is shaping up already to be a great one. With FPL often comes a lot of frustration, but this season has started off really well for a lot of us. But we here at the FPL Fortress like to look towards the future, so we’ll also be discussing who the next big h...

After a long and grueling 38 gameweeks, we have finally finished the 2020/21 season! Congratulations to all you FPL managers out there for surviving the topsy-turvy twists and turns and trials and tribulations that this year presented us. For this final episode, we’re gonna have a few special segments. First, we’ll give out our very own FPL awards to a select few players that really made their mar...

Welcome back to another episode of the FPL Fortress. Because of the fixture scheduling, this episode is going to be a double episode and cover everything that you need for Gameweeks 37 and 38. We’ll be bringing you all the information you need to make your team the best it can be for the last games of the season. But first, we’ll recap last week’s Premier League action, headlined by Alisson’s extr...
