• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Jonas Sand Labakk has emerged victorious after picking up more points than the other 10.9m players to have pieced together a team in 2023-24. He has said: “Winning FPL… wow! I have no words. Don’t know what to say, but I have a bottle of champagne in the freezer! It means a lot to me. I have played this game since I was a little kid, winning is a dream that never even struck my mind!”

• DID YOU KNOW?

  The name of the winning team was Onkel Blaa and it finished with a total points tally of 2,799. Labakk’s final selection for gameweek 38 saw him call upon Chelsea goalkeeper Dorde Petrovic, a defensive trio of Josko Gvardiol, Pedro Porro and Gabriel Magalhaes, Cole Palmer, Alejandro Garnacho, Phil Foden and Heung-min Son in midfield and Nicolas Jackson, Alexander Isak and Erling Haaland (who was captain) in attack. On the bench were Jordan Pickford, Bukayo Saka, Dan Burn and Diogo Dalot.
