Is there a link between Fantasy Premier League and Card Collecting?

Well, kinda…

It may not be for everyone, but following Fantasy Premier League can be a great way to get yourself familiar with the best players in England.

It is also a fun way to introduce yourself to a new sport.

Note: A player’s value won’t increase just because they have a good game in Fantasy!

We’re in the depths of a transfer window here, so with that in mind, this episode covers three things that are important to look out for if you’re a collector.

* Players who move to “big” clubs: We’re talking the best clubs in the world here. Man City, Liverpool, Man United, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, PSG, Juvenus, and Buyern Munich. If a player is moving to a massive club and looks like getting game time, that’s a huge deal.

* Players moving to ‘stepping stone’ clubs: You just have to focus on the massive clubs, players moving to clubs the next level down could potentially make their way to a huge club in a few years.

* Big players who move clubs: When one of the world’s best moves clubs, there’s a ripple effect. Not only does their new club get a lot more attention. but spaces open up at their old club.
