H2H leagues vs Classic data question
Hello all, does anyone have any data on the numbers and/or percentages of FPL leagues that are set-up as Head-2-Head (vs classic), or wants to hazard a relatively informed guesstimate on that.
https://redd.it/1dcp4ub
@r_FantasyPL
Which country did it better?
So I decided to pull the final standings for all the countries in the game to compare them and share the findings with you guys.
# Total Players
While pulling the data I noticed that some players don't have a country global league, don't know how they did it, but the sum of players for all the countries in the game was a bit shy of the total number of players in the game. Top 20 countries for FPL players were:
|Country|Players|
|:-|:-|
|England|2,936,351|
|Egypt|997,004|
|Nigeria|507,745|
|USA|413,178|
|Malaysia|361,304|
|Kenya|308,784|
|Ireland|304,502|
|Algeria|261,580|
|South Africa|257,291|
|Norway|229,325|
|Australia|216,037|
|India|203,224|
|Saudi Arabia|185,323|
|Scotland|178,289|
|Indonesia|177,793|
|Sweden|167,578|
|Iraq|152,309|
|Morocco|146,606|
|Ghana|140,832|
|Wales|124,554|
These countries represent 76% of total players.
# Game's Popularity
Then I decided to see in which countries the game was more popular. I calculated the number of FPL players per 10,000 in each country. Funny enough the top of the table is populated by the thousand FPL jokesters from uninhabited islands of Bouvet and Heard & McDonald. I know there are real players from Christmas Island, but filtered to see only countries with above 1M in population to get a sense of the popularity of the game:
|Country|Players|Population|Popularity|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|Ireland|304,502|5,056,935|602|
|England|2,936,351|55,980,000|525|
|Northern Ireland|82,812|1,885,000|439|
|Norway|229,325|5,474,360|419|
|Wales|124,554|3,136,000|397|
|Scotland|178,289|5,454,000|327|
|Mauritius|22,052|1,300,557|170|
|Sweden|167,578|10,612,086|158|
|Bahrain|20,797|1,485,509|140|
|Kuwait|59,796|4,310,108|139|
|Cyprus|15,632|1,260,138|124|
|Malaysia|361,304|34,308,525|105|
|Denmark|60,855|5,910,913|103|
|Singapore|59,604|6,014,723|99|
|Serbia|68,964|7,149,077|96|
|Egypt|997,004|112,716,598|88|
|Qatar|23,085|2,716,391|85|
|Australia|216,037|26,439,111|82|
|Croatia|32,225|4,008,617|80|
|Finland|42,409|5,545,475|76|
There are some surprises here for sure!
# Who were mainly active?
Then I looked at the distribution of the total points to see what distinguished competitive players from the rest.
https://preview.redd.it/gwcdghqu6k5d1.png?width=1336&format=png&auto=webp&s=5d16164ef56eb1dd84c99ef7530135f6c10ec45a
The meaningful change point happens around 2,200 points, which is around 2M rank. Hence I segmented top 2M players as active players (as opposed to dead teams, those joining after GW1 and those who don't care much about OR). This table isn't that surprising, but the stark differences in percentage of active players from these countries, Norway with the highest portion and Kenya with the lowest.
|Country|Players|Top 2M|% of Players|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|England|2,936,351|653,729|22.26|
|Egypt|997,004|173,947|17.45|
|USA|413,178|66,372|16.06|
|Ireland|304,502|65,162|21.40|
|Norway|229,325|63,896|27.86|
|Malaysia|361,304|55,610|15.39|
|Nigeria|507,745|51,132|10.07|
|India|203,224|46,193|22.73|
|Australia|216,037|44,068|20.40|
|Algeria|261,580|40,406|15.45|
|Sweden|167,578|37,720|22.51|
|Scotland|178,289|37,260|20.90|
|South Africa|257,291|35,099|13.64|
|Saudi Arabia|185,323|32,583|17.58|
|Kenya|308,784|29,467|9.54|
|Indonesia|177,793|28,951|16.28|
|Wales|124,554|24,754|19.87|
|Poland|91,476|22,037|24.09|
|Iraq|152,309|21,699|14.25|
|Canada|98,303|20,693|21.05|
# Who did it better?
For deciding the champion of the world cup of FPL quality I compared several criteria, the old folklore of top 10k and my favorite criteria of top 1% of total players (108k rank) among them. Main finding is that those selecting a flag not of their own (said jokesters) are the best FPL players! with 9.2% of Christmas Island players making it to the top 1%. But filtering those out (countries with less that 1k players) we get this table for quality ranking:
|Country|Top 10k|10k Percent|Top 1%|1%

Anyone know exactly what's the definition or criteria of the "Prime Sample" used for comparisons at the FPL Optimized site?
I was looking at my season highlights section and found this graph and the explanation provided to be interesting.
First, what is the Prime Sample and how large is it? Is it the veterans who played FPL for a long time, and if so how long? Is it the elite who finish in the top 10k, if so what's the minimum number of seasons? Is it both, average finish in too 10k for the past 5 years? How many managers are in this sample; 100s, 1000s? Is it the same sample for all comparisons or is it dependent on tier?

When does the new season start, first season playing so I don't really know when it starts and I'd like to know since the premier league season has officially started apparently.

Fantasy Euros 2024 – Statistics of players in Euro qualifications
Hey guys,
I've posted extended statistics for players from the Euro 2024 qualifications on the website. You can check out who performed the best in terms of shots and key passes.
https://foontasy.com/player-stats/euro-qualification
In third place, for example, is the Croatian and you can hardly guess which one.
Each team also has its own page with club statistics and friendly matches, which will be updated regularly.
You can also find detailed statistics for each player, including their appearances for the national team since 2023. For instance, Griezmann had 2 shots and 4 key passes in the last match against Canada.
Hope this would be useful for you

American looking to create a league!!
Here in America, I have a difficult time finding any friends who want to pay attention to the PL grind like me. Really hoping to meet football fans from across the globe, or here in America, through a fantasy PL league.
If any of you are interested, please feel free to reach out!! Love this game — love the community of it too. Would love to join or build one through the highs & lows of fantasy PL…
Should say I’m a football fan since 2016…an American Gooner since 2016 too. Do my best to follow all World Football though, & attend MLS games whenever I can…
Much love to everyone...Here’s to the beautiful game growing here in America & world wide 👏
