FPL Demographics by Country and Favorite Club
I loaded all 11+ Million FPL managers this season to our DB to do some analysis. Here is the data breaking them down by country and by favorite club.
🌍 By country
- England is the biggest by a mile with 3.06M managers, about 28% of everyone.
- Egypt is a clear 2nd with 825k. That's almost as many as Nigeria (427k) and the USA (401k) combined. I wonder if Salah has something to do with that 👀
- Overall, managers come from 254 countries and territories.
⚽ By favorite club
- Man Utd has the biggest fanbase with 1.81M managers, a quarter of everyone who picked a club. That's more than the other 15 clubs outside the big 5 combined (1.27M).
- Liverpool (1.32M) and Arsenal (1.26M) are close together for 2nd and 3rd.
- Man City (714k) has fewer fans than Chelsea (844k), even after a decade of trophies (legitimate or not).
- The big 5 make up 82% of managers who chose a club.
- About 1 in 3 managers (3.8M) never picked a favorite club at all.

Updated Template Team Based on Ownership %
Since last post
In:
Mbeumo
Konsa
Out:
- Semenyo
- Thomas
Mbeumo has been the fastest riser over the last couple days. I expect Konsa will fall out closer to the deadline

Since last week's post

I image that front 3 is locked in for a lot of people
Preseason Data, Stats and Match Highlights
Spent the last week compiling Preseason data for FPL. Goals, assists, DEFCONs, minutes and more, all pulled together with highlight clips linked so everything's in one place.
Hope it's useful for your GW1 planning! Check it out here: https://www.fplcore.com/preseason
New FPL Template Team based on Ownership %
Since last week's post: 2 changes to the template squad.
In:
- Calvert-Lewin (LEE, FWD) - 23.8% owned, £6.0m
- Van Ewijk (COV, DEF) - 16.0% owned, £4.0m
Out:
- Guéhi (MCI, DEF) - was 24.0% - now 23.8% owned
- Kusi-Asare (FUL, FWD) - was 8.3% - now 8.1% owned
Chelsea are #1 in total xG and #3 in NET xG for the season. That is quite mind blowing despite how bad they have been since January.
