@Mark_FPL That’s a very solid portfolio of assets. I’ll be following your progress Mark.

[FPL Fund Manager @FPL_FundManager]

@LetsTalk_FPL Konsa represents compelling value and will be added to the portfolio in GW3 as a value asset.

GW2 🔒

No changes.

The fund is conserving its transfer allowance this week.

Underlying numbers from GW1 were encouraging.

No reason to overreact to short-term underperformance.

Strategy > short term noise

GW1 Recap

52 points | 43% overall

Not exactly the alpha generating start we were looking for.

Plenty to review but no knee-jerk changes. The season is a 38-game horizon.

Rome wasn’t built in a day.

GW1: LONG/SHORT

BUY: Thiago ✅
- Nailed
- Pens
- Low ownership
- Good fixtures

SELL: Joao Pedro ❌
- Fulham (A) and Arsenal (A) in first 3 GWS
- Rotation + early sub risk
- High ownership means price fall potential

I’m deploying the Bench Boost in GW1.

Not purely to maximise expected points.

There is a behavioural component - the Leader Effect.

If competitors feel they’re already behind, they may take greater risks to catch up - potentially leading to sub-optimal decisions.

GW1🔒

The portfolio is built.

The objective isn’t to be No.1 after GW1.

It’s to make sensible sensibles and consistently finish in the top quartile.

Diversification.
Capital allocation.
Multi avenues for points.

[FPL Fund Manager @FPL_FundManager]

Value:

Grob, Ajer, O’Shea, Kinsky + Verbruggen

Their job is simple:

Provide reliable 3–4 point returns when called upon while preserving capital for higher-upside positions.

[FPL Fund Manager @FPL_FundManager]

Alpha: Thiago + Ballard

Lower-owned positions where I see potential to materially outperform the market.

I don’t need every position to work. I just need some to.

[FPL Fund Manager @FPL_FundManager]

Growth: Calvert-Lewin, Calafiori, Ndiaye

Lower-cost assets with significant upside potential - both in FPL returns and price appreciation.

[FPL Fund Manager @FPL_FundManager]

Tactical: Mbeumo, Maguire, Le Fée

Favourable near-term fixtures create an opportunity for short-term alpha.

The plan is to capture the upside before reassessing and redeploying capital.

[FPL Fund Manager @FPL_FundManager]

Core Holdings:

Haaland + Bruno.

Expensive assets, but elite quality with genuine captaincy potential.

These are the Fund’s cornerstone holdings.

The expectation is that both remain in the portfolio for the long term.

Paying a premium for quality is justified.

Risk Management

The Fund will seek to minimise:

Capital will only be redeployed where the investment thesis has materially changed or a superior opportunity has been identified.

• Underlying performance
• Fixture-adjusted analysis
• Expected minutes
• Set-piece exposure
• Tactical role
