Fantasy Premier League 2018-19: 10 Tips For A Successful Season
5. Don't Get Too Excited About New Players
Following the summer transfers is always exciting, and it's a real thrill for fans of any club to see new players arriving, but you need to be wary about these players when it comes to the fantasy game. Picking one or two new arrivals isn't forbidden, but fantasy managers should avoid adding too many recent transfers to their squads.
As we've seen time and time again, many players, especially those who have made a move from another country, can need a bit of a 'settling in' period in the Premier League before we really see the best of them.
Every now and then, a new player can arrive on English shores and hit the ground running, but when it comes to fantasy football, it's the established, long-term players who tend to perform the best, especially in the opening weeks.
With a host of new talent set to shine in the new Premier League season, it can be tempting to add players like Man United's Fred or Liverpool's Naby Keita to your squads straight away, but it's wiser to wait a little while and see how these individuals take to the top flight before deciding to sign them up.
