This channel has been created to help people who want to be in their work/family's/friends' mini-league, but they do not want to spend hours finding out what they should do. I am intending to post instructions each week of which players you should sell (if you have them) and then give you a choice of player as a replacement.
We are not aiming to win the whole league, we are just aiming to finish in the top 5% overall ... this should be good enough to be near the top (or actually top) of many small mini-leagues.
It is just a game of probabilities.
I have played fantasy football (based on the Telegraph scoring system) since the mid 1990s, but have only played the FPL for three years with the following finishing positions:
2019/20 : 363,220 of 7,600,000 = Top 4.8%
2020/21 : 39,071 of 8,200,000 = Top 0.5%
2021/22 : 215,935 of 9,100,000 = Top 2.4%
The second part of the season is where I usually take off. So ... I don't mind having a slow start :)

Can't wait for your Matchday 2 Team Sir ! Well done 👍🏻
It's going alright at the moment, thank you for watching and your kind words 😊
Loved the video
Thank you very much for watching, and for your kind words 😀
Excited to see your team picks for Matchday 1! Loving both options you've shared!
Thank you for watching 😊. Since making the video I have started leaning a bit more towards the template approach ... the % ownership are still changing, so I won't know until later tonight who is in and who is out ...
Are you doing the Euro fantasy football??
I am indeed ... but no content, just playing ... are you ..?
@@MidnightMuleFPL I am, are you in any mini leagues?
I am in a couple, I also made a league (posted on X), no one has joined ... you are welcome to join : iXeyQJ I am currently also in Fran's, Mate's and Andy's ... do you have a league? (I will probably join others too .. just in case I magically do well :) )
@@MidnightMuleFPL I am the first to join your league. Hope there will be many more lol. Regards Sean- Baby Beaver
You got my name spot on! Looking forward to more videos next season 😊
Yay ... I always worry that I am very much wrong with my pronunciations... hopefully you will join the league next season and get more mentions 😀
Thanks for the feature MM! Lovely to see you again and hope to chat again soon. Small correction - I only had one Arsenal defender as opposed to what most had in 2 😂
Okay, thanks, I stand corrected... it was noisy at the thirsty bear , so I must have misheard you, I should have checked my facts anyway. It was good to see you again too, and thanks for your cheat sheet videos, they are very interesting 😀
Great video and a good season.👍 Sadly you did not win my league cup, but you still deserved a shoutout. 😉 I myself like FPL challenge because there are different random events happening every week.
well hopefully you'll win some of the FPL challenges next season 😎
Wow. Great job, everyone. I want to participate next season.
Thank you for all the content. Looking forward to more of your videos next season. You're a legend!
that is very kind, thank you 🙂. I am planning a couple of generic FPL vids during the summer, they may not appeal to many people, but I would find them interesting if I was bored in the summer 🙃
Very respectable rank finish boss! Appreciate the content, and flow of video. I finished 138k overall so, relatively happy!
Very nice ... that's better than over 98.5 % of managers ..!
Excellent videos and well done this season! I had a shocking start but went on a charge 2nd half of season and at least i broke the 2000 points mark- satisfied with that. Looking forward to your content next season...
thank you very much indeed for watching the videos, and well done for enjoying the season. It really only takes two or three good weeks to rocket up the ranking table, so there is always hope until about GW 36 anyway , at which point a manager could just make fun transfers and enjoy the ride 😇
Leicester fan here. Vardy has been our best striker for this season, and was starting quite a few games on the run in at the end. He will get minutes!!
Enjoy videos thank you this season
I would love it if he did. We lived in Oadby in the late nineties and used to see Leicester play at Filbert Street, so they are my second club after Pompey 😀. I am hoping that the Friday Night game on 16th Aug is LEI v NFO ... very spicy 😀
Thank you for great positive videos!!! As the season went along I slowly quit watching all other fpl-tubers, and just stuck to your channel. See you next season!!! All the best!!!!
wow ... that's is really kind of you to say that, thanks :)
Good to meet you at Meets. And thx for the meal. Look fwd to your vids in August.
it was good to finally meet you too, and thank you for watching so many minutes/hours of me waffling on this season ... :)
Enjoyed the content this season 👍
Thank you very much for your support and for watching 😀
To the final 🏆❤
Been watching your videos all season. Thanks for all the tips and have a great summer Midnight Mule! See you again next season!
Thank you very much for your support, let's hope we can all have fun next season too :)
Great video and good GW score. I personally try to beat my best rank each season. Did not manage that this season though. Second best result it seems though. 😋 With subs here, I think 1000 subs here for 2 years is good result. I have been doing videos for 2 years or so also and am below 50. 🙂
I see that I am In the final of your cup 😀. I think that people would enjoy FPL more if their goal was to have fun rather than care about rank ... there is only 1st and not 1st globallg ... so have fun being a not 1st 😀.
@@MidnightMuleFPL People need some goals usually I think to make things more interesting. But in FPL there are many goals, since you can join 30 mini league max and with cups that gives you already 60 more goals. Good to see you in my mini league cup final hopefully you will win it. You got trough to the final by only 2 points I see. 👍
Good fun in GW38 😊
All games being goalless would be very funny 😀
@@MidnightMuleFPL ahahahaha well that would be one BIG Big At The Back week 😁
your videos are always a relaxing and intriguing watch. Cheers for the content, you've got yourself a subscriber
Cool, thank you very much for your kind words and for watching 😀
Good listening to your videos this season. I like your style going 5 at the back, I'm thinking of doing 4 defenders myself. I used to love captaining an attacking defender years ago, might start doing it again next season
Defenders used to be better value, it may be things will be different again next season and Defenders will once again be king 🤴. Good luck for the final week, I hope you have fun ...
Mr Mule... I look fwd to meeting you on Sunday! So that you know it's me I'll be the one with the permanent red arrow. 😆
He he ... will that be printed on your t-shirt ..?
I’ve kept my Free Hit for GW38 any thoughts on what you would do with it? I’m thinking Raya TAA | White | Gvardiol Olise | Havertz | Foden | Palmer | Salah Haaland | Jackson Bench: Muric | Mateta | Gusto | Munoz
that looks very nice to me 😎
Thx Mr Mule for all your videos over the season. Have a great summer and see you for the 2024/25 season in August.
Thank you for watching and commenting throughout the year, you have a good break too 😀
Great series of videos. I hope you go again next season!
Thank you very much for watching, and for your encouragement 😀
I hope you 'enjoyed' your season ( in this game, it's not always possible), and good luck for the final gw.
It has been a fun ride, and I have recently been making plans for the next few seasons ... Good luck to you for GW38 😀
14 green arrows in a row ( with the exception of my nightmare gw35)! Don't think i'll make the top 5% this year but still loving your videos. Feel like taking a punt on Palmer for captain this week...
Wow ... that's pretty good going by you. I have some ideas how to make the videos more useful for next year, I'll have the summer to work on it ... As for Palmer captain, it is a risk, but it will be a massive boost if he outscores Haaland ... 😀
I hope trippier makes it this DGW, my second hit would be ready at that moment.
I would also really like him to play, I have held on to him for weeks ... stupid me 😜
@@MidnightMuleFPLelderly strikes again jk.
Great video and good GW score. Good tactics to getting to at least 11 doublers starting. I used my WC to get there.
Thanks for the compliment, two players are flagged though, so it is imperfect... anyway, two more GWs, then we get to start over 😀
@@MidnightMuleFPL Could be better indeed, but still good tactics.👍
My cousin told to take a hit and bring gravdiol. Told him There's no place for him. Already have 5 strong defenders that always give 6 points per 1-3 matches: Nouri, Senesi, Saliba, Branthwaite, Regulion.
The consideration is whether gvardiol in his three games will out score the defenders who have two games. Not having him could be a nice differential , so good luck for DGW 37 😀
@@MidnightMuleFPL its a tough call seeing him play the double in fully ready.
Nice!
thanks 🙃
Hi mate long time no see (you might remember me from ChatStop)
Hi, how are you doing ..?
@@MidnightMuleFPL very good mate, how about you?
doing okay, thanks ... relieved to be [probably] finishing in the top 5% after following my own series 😜
Great video.
Thank you for watching it ... I am not expecting many views at all 😀
@@MidnightMuleFPL Well you got mine. 👍
Great video and great plans for double videos.👍 i did mine in one go after GW35. This might effect the video views though. 😋
Well ... I did consider sidereal staying up until the early hours to do the video, but I decided I should probably sleep instead. It may be that no-one watches the second video, but I'll do it anyway 😀 Well done on doing it all in one go yourself 😀
@@MidnightMuleFPL Good decision no need to lose sleep hours. 👍I might have done it one go, but since it was uploaded only less then a day before GW36 deadline , it might not get the usual amount of views. 🙂
Mr Mule... is Mrs Mule still beating you in FPL?
She sometimes outscores me in a gameweek, but I am currently winning this season 😀
@@MidnightMuleFPL If she beats you for the season I'll be unsubscribing and joining her channel.
@johnhamilton7762 I have asked her to be on a video before, but she doesn't want to ... it's a shame really as she is quite knowledgeable 😀
Great stuff mate
Thank you 😊
I brought in werner 😢 and I forgive you 😂
That is very gracious of you ... thanks 😊
I’m still in the cup 😅
well done 😎🙃😉
Hit that minus eight 😂💪😅
he he ... with such big scores last week, there must be some points around that we can squander 🙃
Great video and great score.
thank you very much ....I see I am still in the Esto cup 😎
@@MidnightMuleFPL I sadly lasted only one round myself. Hope you go far in there.👍
i'm on my wildcard but still having a headache on benching haaland
I think there will be many managers benching Haaland this week, so if he does do well it should not be too painful on your rank. Also, Haaland has not been overly impressive recently, especially away from home, so I think you should be able to relax with him benched away ....😇
@@MidnightMuleFPL any ideas on the best keepers for a wild cars
@Madaraz21 vicario and Onana seem a reasonable pair if you can afford them and you are bench boosting in GW37. If you are not bench boosting then swap one of them for Raya ...
Sell salah
Could see him getting benched
Probably will ... not 100% sure yet ...
I sold salah , for mbuemo 😳
Still have a freehit , might play it this wk
Wow ... that's interesting ... but I guess it may work our okay ..? Is your team not close enough to being good enough without it ..?
I'm on wildcard this week! Lots of decisions to make, but not sure on what keepers?! Anyways, great video as always!
If you don't have the bench boost left then Raya may be good, if you do ... then maybe Raya anyway 😀
If you are fall behind in your mini-league and want to chase rank, what differential will you go for? Cheers
Unless we hear news that he isn't playing, I'd go Werner up front. Keeping ARS assets will also be a bit of a differential. Keeping Salah or Darwin is a differential too ...
If only I hadn't captained Salah last week... 😂
At least there were many of us who did, so we all suffered together 🙃
Foden did have a pretty good game 😂
Yeah ... and I transferred him out ! Fortunately, the player I got in scored more, and as I had 2 FTs it was kinda okay ... I should have gotten rid of Salah instead ...
16:52 cunha did came from bench in second fixture. This confirmed that he was fit and ready, and I can't sell my boy against luton! You guys keep taking hit on doubles and leave the great ones behind......
Cool ... thanks for correcting me, he is a good pick then 😀
First here ⚽⚽⚽
he he, thank you 😎🙃😇
Hi mule, great content as always. I missed a few of your suggestions and my team has sucked for a while now. In my FPL team, I currently have Foden and Son, which I consider leaks. Who would you recommend I swap out, and who would be a suitable replacement considering I also have Darwin in my squad with just one free transfer to make? Here's my id, if you've got the time to check: 3597702. Thank again.
I think you may have enough money for Baldock -> Robertson from Liverpool, but if you can't then Doughty -> Virgil would be the move I would do. Given that you have only one FT, I would be fine to keep Son and Foden for now.
@@MidnightMuleFPL I'll do just that. Appreciate the help so far mule. Thanks again and have a great day!!!
