The Story of an FPL Genius: Meet the Palace fan who is 32nd in the World!

Related Topics: Cambridge, Palace, Roy Hodgson

James Armstrong is a Sales & Marketing Manager for an IT company in Cambridge. But perhaps more interestingly to the readers of cpfc.co.uk, he tops the Palace fan league in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) and sits 32nd in the world out of an eye-watering 6.2 million managers.

For the uninitiated – FPL is nothing short of a global phenomenon as Roy Hodgson wannabes are tasked with selecting, tweaking and rotating a squad of 15 players within a £100m budget, with a maximum of three players from each club, over a 38 week campaign. Player prices fluctuate according to form and popularity, so to compete for bragging rights – you need a healthy dose of knowledge, luck, and time on your hands.
