- How FPL is more than your overall rank

-The similarities between running a marathon and an FPL season

- Making your own luck in FPL

- The downside to following the ‘template’ For this episode

I’m joined by FPL writer and enthusiast Leong Wei Luen. I first came across Leong after reading his brilliant article on Fantasy Football Scout where he talks about how running a marathon is similar to playing an FPL season. Leong talks brilliantly about how to navigate the long season, staying patient and how luck can be bypassed by using skill in FPL.
