Interview with the current FPL World Number One

At present, Matt Barrick has climbed the much coveted fantasy football summit and is literally on top of the world.  He's the current FPL World Number One out of 5 million managers!  I caught up with him earlier in the week for his exclusive insights and story to date.

Chief: So tell me Matt, what are the origins of your FPL journey?

Matt: This is my 6th season playing FPL, and during this time I have had a couple of good seasons; my best season until now was when I finished 11,149th during the 13/14 season.  I am a massive football fan, and have always enjoyed competition, so FPL really is the perfect game for me. The irony is that, despite being top of the overall FPL league, it is actually my wife who arranges the league I am in with friends and family; she loves FPL and football too, which makes for good competition and dinner time conversation.

Chief: How does it feel to be the current World Number One?

Matt: It feels great. I still can’t believe it and neither can my mates. Good job I got a new phone with better battery life, because my Twitter page has been going mental this week-but it has been fun to interact with FPL fans from all over the world.

Chief: Do you believe in having a "differential" for each position?

Matt: I don’t think you need a differential for every position, but if you could find one that would be useful. My differentials this season so far have been, as follows:

Rob Elliot- The cheapest goalkeeper in the game that starts. I used him successfully on my Bench Boost (GW3). 

Ben Davies- He was cheap and had low ownership at the start then he was the top scorer after 4 GWs. 

Matt Richie- Being a Newcastle United fan has helped with this pick. I watched him all last season, so knew he had the quality to play in the Premier League and I thought £6m was a bargain.

They’ve all worked for me this year, which is why I am top, but it is not something you can always predict.

Chief: To what extent do upcoming fixtures influence your team selection?

Matt: I always pick my team based on form and fixtures, especially when it comes to picking my captain. It is nice to have top players that are fixture proof, such as Aguero. With that said, although Aguero is my captain currently, I am prepared to change that based on upcoming fixtures against poorly performing teams.

Chief: Do you have a "bogey" team or player that you tend to avoid?

Matt: The difference between this season (so far) and previous seasons is that I have not picked players based on teams I like and dislike; instead I have picked a more balanced team.

In terms of bogey players I have been picking in previous seasons, I seem to always have Sanchez at the wrong time; though I am waiting to see what he will do this season.

Chief: What one piece of advice would you give to your fellow FPL managers?

Matt: Marry a girl who loves fantasy football. All jokes aside, my piece of advice would be to study the form, fixtures and stats; before I make a transfer I always look at 5 or 6 different options. However, I think that the biggest challenge this season will be rotation due to the PL having 5 teams in the CL this season; so keep an eye out for that. Trust your gut, and just enjoy the game.

Chief: Thank you for your time and all the best for the rest of the season.
