Geographic split of players

[Zimmerman]

Does any data exist for where FPL players reside?

Trying to get an understanding of the 6m players (appreciate that might not be 6m individuals)... how many are from the U.K., Egypt or wherever.

Does anywhere hold this info?

Also - what are the most popular sites (aside from FISO).

FFS is the obvious one
Any others?

What sort of user bases do they have?

Scroll down this page - there are also %s re most popular team names, manager names and clubs supported;

From a random sample of 20000 but still gives a fair idea - england 27%, egypt then malaysia and USA, sounds about right.

Have Egypt always been into FPL or just since Mo Salah started getting good?

I actually admin an FPL page on Facebook. Around 10.8% of our followers are from Egypt. I haven't got old numbers but I know this is a notable increase on 2 years ago. Malaysia, Myanmar, India and Nigeria are also high on the list. Our follower count is currently around 193k.
