It’s that time of year again when managers are advised to fasten their seatbelts, and hold on tight, as the FPL schedule is about to become hectic. Next week sees the first set of midweek fixtures this season, which comprise the sandwich filling of 3 gameweek deadlines in 9 days. Consequently, I’ll not have timeContinue reading “FPL Poker Tables GW12/13/14”

#FPLMatchups #GW11 Changes +The Little Prince Pick of the Week
The expression “Can’t see the forest for the trees” is used to describe people too involved in the details to see the bigger picture. I feel like my FPL experience this year has been characterized by the opposite. I have been so focused on larger patterns and broader tactical analyses that I have missed theContinue reading “#FPLMatchups #GW11 Changes +The Little Prince Pick of the Week”

Last gameweek was another frustrating one for my spreadsheets, even though predictions performed favourably in comparison with other better known predictive models and algorithms. My spreadsheet proved more accurate than fivethirtyeight.com for both match result predictions (see appendix I) and correct score forecasts (see appendix II). It also performed better than “the world’s most powerfulContinue reading “FPL Poker Tables GW11”
#FPL GFCT – Pragmatic Strategy Report Pre-GW11
Strategic View Come gather ‘round, people, wherever you roam, or whichever your fancied formation might be; because the times, they are ’changing’.

FPL Poker Tables GW10
Most of the trends identified in my review of rolling data during the last international break were borne out by results in GW9. TOT‘s rapidly improving home attack and defence strength weightings were cited as “bad news for MCI”. BUR were hailed as the other “standout improver” in that department prior to keeping a cleanContinue reading “FPL Poker Tables GW10”

#FPLMatchups #GW10 – The Two Tales of the Season + The Little Prince Pick
An early article this week with an early deadline on Friday, and some demons to exorcise from last GW. The talk of the town once again is the captaincy decision for GW10. Do we go tried and true, and keep the armband on DCL? Or do we reanoint the king with the return of Salah?Continue reading “#FPLMatchups #GW10 – The Two Tales of the Season + The Little Prince Pick”
#FPLMatchups #GW9 – The Two Tales of the Season
We often tend to look at fixtures in chunks of 4 or 6 GW’s, so 8 is a perfect number to begin looking for patterns, and trends in terms of half-season chunks. Word of caution, however, 8 weeks is not much time to establish patterns and any analysis done solely on this season’s observations willContinue reading “#FPLMatchups #GW9 – The Two Tales of the Season”

Last week I conducted a review of rolling data to see what trends have emerged during the early stages of the current season. Many were identified, and I recommend using that blog as a reference point before making any transfers in the near future. Of more immediate relevance to these FPL Poker Tables blogs, however,Continue reading “FPL Poker Tables GW9”
