Ola Hovde, the number 1️⃣ in the world (Thread)

With half the season completed, I started to look at the number 1 in the world and how he has played

Ola Hovde has been number 1 ever since GW10 this season but what has he done to get there? What can we learn from it?

Some things I noticed while looking at his gameweek history: 👀

🔘 Was 88th in the world after 126 points in GW2 after heroics from Kane ©️, Son, DCL and Rodriguez

🔘 Played his wildcard in GW10 and has been number 1 ever since

🔘 Taken 2 hits all season (GW9 + GW19)

📖 Summary:

What can we now see and learn from looking at all of this information?

Obviously Ola has got so many decisions and transfers right this season

Having players like Kane, Son, DCL, Saiss, Justin etc in his starting team evidently gave him a massive boost...
but how he has played since is what makes me really impressed especially his wildcard that was played at the perfect time in GW10 when that fixture swing for Spurs and Man City started.

Getting rid of players like Kane, Son, an injured Digne, Ziyech, Watkins etc and going...
with KDB, getting Salah back from his injury and Dias + Cancelo on double Man City defense is a major reason why he currently has a 24-point lead.

But obviously everything hasn't gone right for him. Benching Justin and Soucek on multiple occasions has made him lose a lot of...
points just like transferring in Zaha in GW3 after he had just scored 23 points and then only managing to get 3 points from him after getting rid ahead of GW5 when he then continued to score 22 points the following 2 gameweeks.

But overall it's incredible how excellent Ola's...
season has been. He has gone safe with captaincy and captained the obvious choice most of the time, he has been calm and taken 2 hits and had great timing with the use of his chips.

His previous ranks shows that he has never been nowhere near close to the top in FPL before...
and it's a very long season left but he has definitely put himself in a great position with a 24-point lead to win the entire thing!
Hopefully you have maybe learned something from this thread about how the number 1 in the world so far has played this year...

Could may be some parts that you and I can both learn from and take into 2nd half of the season 😁👊

I’ve been frustrated by the tweets I’ve seen of this as a Canadian. Because the facts are being misrepresented.

We’re not under some sort of major persecution. That’s not what this is. A thread. 1/8


This church was fined for breaking health orders in Dec. They continued to break them. So the pastor was arrested and released on conditions of... you guessed it, not breaking health orders. And then they broke the health orders. 2/8

So then he was arrested and told he couldn’t hold church services in person if he was to be released. He refused. He’s still in custody.

Here is my frustration as a Christian in Canada:

1. They were able to gather, with some conditions. They didn’t like those. 3/8

2. He is not actually unable to preach. He is just unable to hold church services because they broke the conditions given by the public health office in Alberta. He says he can’t in good conscience do that, so they are keeping him in jail (because he will break the law). 4/8

3. This is the 1st article of The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: “guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.” 5/8
