Ahead of the 2020/21 season, The Football Faithful is proud to present the latest addition to our podcast stable, The Fantasy Faithful!
Every week we will be bringing you a new episode chock full of tips, advice and general tomfoolery on the wild and wonderful world of fantasy football, featuring expert guests who will help you climb the rankings.
In our first episode of The Fantasy Faithful we are joined by Abubakar Siddiq (@BigManBakar), a popular figure in the FPL community who finished fourth overall back in 2015. He informs us on how to build the ideal FPL squad, how to get the best value for money from players, which pitfalls to avoid, and what to look out for in differentials.
Bakar is well known for his weekly threads on Twitter breaking down the latest Premier League action in a digestible and easily accessible manner, crunching the numbers so you don’t have to. Revealing to us that he spends on average 3-4 hours on this mighty public service he provides, he also tells us about the importance of using statistics and advanced analytics to get an edge, and gives us his take on the stats versus eye test debate.
