It’s a bit of a quiet week in FPL, but here at the Fortress, we’re committed to producing insightful content—week in, week out, no matter the circumstance. To that end, after reviewing Gameweek 32 and then briefly discussing single-gameweek players to consider for the upcoming double, we meditate on the general rigidity of the current template. We think that this phenomenon is largely due to the “death of the premium,” which has lifted the budgetary constraints that managers had to face in past years when juggling multiple firing big-hitters. But what other factors could be contributing to the homogenizing of teams—for instance, how has the implementation of DEFCON shaken up the meta for defenders?
