Fantasy Premier League 2016 Tips: 10 Things To Consider From Week 1

10. It's A Marathon Not A Sprint

I feel this is an important point to make as I've heard whispers of 'wildcards', 'penalty points' and 'all out attack cards' being used for Week Two. No, no, no, Fantasy Football is a work of art, it requires patience, trust and discipline. Whatever you do, don't go transferring out Raheem Sterling for Riyad Mahrez because he scored a brace against Sunderland and the England International couldn't beat Boaz Myhill one-on-one. Remember why you picked Sterling (insert other expensive Game Week One flops here) and stay true to yourself. Mahrez didn't cross your mind pre-season and he still shouldn't, the midfielder scored four goals last season and that could easily be the case again.
