FPL Alert: Arne Slot’s Unusual Tactic May Affect Your Team
Fantasy Premier League managers, be aware! Liverpool’s new manager Arne Slot may be about to unleash a tactic that could wreak havoc on your team’s performance.
Last weekend, Slot made his debut as Liverpool manager in a 2-0 win over Ipswich, and it was clear that he has a unique approach to team selection and tactics. One thing that caught our eye was his tendency to substitute his wingers early in the game. In fact, in four of six consecutive league matches this season, Slot has taken his wingers off before the hour mark.
This could have significant implications for Fantasy Premier League managers. Forward players, as we know, don’t get clean sheet bonuses like defenders do. But they do get an extra point for playing 60 minutes in a match. With Slot’s tendency to substitute his wingers early, these players may be missing out on that extra point, which could have a significant impact on their Fantasy Premier League performance.
But that’s not all. When Slot took off Jarell Quansah in the Ipswich game and replaced him with Ibrahima Konate, neither player was able to get a clean sheet bonus. And what’s more, being taken off early means that there’s no chance to impact the game late on and score additional points.
So, what does this mean for Fantasy Premier League managers? If Slot continues to follow this tactic, we may see a lot of disappointed managers whose wingers don’t quite live up to expectations.
