People may not understand how big an achievement this is. Yes you need a lot of good fortune, but there are 7m players of FPL. For most, getting into the top 100k is seen as a good result for the end of the season.
Magus is clearly a massive football fan though - he talks about it a lot on his livestreams etc.
- rhnmhdv 7y agoIt's mind-boggling to me. I've been a huge/obsessed fan all my life and never got in the top 200k
- abcdef123xyz2 7y agoSomeone has always been number 1 though :-). This is only news because he is also world class at another game.
- headmelted 7y agoWouldn’t this also infer that Magnus has understood the mechanics of the game more than almost anyone else? By which I mean to say couldn’t this translate indirectly to an edge (I realize FPL and predicting individual match outcomes are very different) in sports betting? I’m ordinarily utterly skeptical of any such suggestion, but Magnus thinks at a level beyond my understanding so what do I know?
- lonelappde 7y agoImply, not infer. But yes, the people who know a knowledge-based game better are better at playing it.
